Why I am here: inspired by Unmasking for Life, I'm looking to create a community, especially w/ queer & neurospicy folks. I don't leave my house much, so figure online spaces are a good option (even if my brain struggles w/ them). I'm hoping to make friends while honoring who I truly am. Interested?

Dear snowboys, go fuck yourselves. You stupid fucking pieces of shit. What the fuck do you mean your head isn't the right size? It's the same fucking size of the right size head from yesterday. Quit being a fucking asshole. Please and thanks.

I've been really struggling lately. Every time I come on here I end up getting down and discouraged, but I miss you all a lot. I don't know how to protect my mental health and maintain this community. I am very frustrated by it all, on top of being so angry and sad about the world right now.

An anime screenshot featuring a close-up of a person, shown from the side as they cover their face with their hands in a gesture of distress. They have short brown hair and are wearing a white shirt. The background shows an outdoor evening setting with a deep blue sky and glowing orange festival lanterns. Subtitles at the bottom read, "I knew an introvert like me shouldn't have come to a place like this."

Been mostly avoiding being on here the last few days (though I do hop on each night for my daily dino fact from @feraldactal.bsky.social). Probably will continue avoiding 🤷‍♀️

Maybe just once when you are doing your "Top X" lists you acknowledge that more than the gender binary exists.

My mouth is numb from the dentist. And I had to leave my house. In the cold. Also, I did my taxes. What kind of hell am I living today?!

Looks like the whole season of this is available now on Netflix. I've only watched one episode so far. I love it. There is a soft quality to the animation that is cool. The setting is fun, I like the art theme, and the main character is very likeable. 9/10

A promotional poster for the anime "LOVE THROUGH A PRISM" features eight characters standing in a row in front of a warm, lit storefront at night. The characters are dressed in vintage or early 20th-century European-style clothing, including long coats, waistcoats, and long skirts. The background shows a storefront with many small window panes glowing with a warm yellow light, and a hanging flower basket is visible on the left. The overall mood is cozy and nostalgic.

When you forget the things you taught your villagers to say years ago! 🤣
A screenshot from the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The scene takes place inside a rustic, dimly lit room with dirt floors. A player character, seen from behind wearing a yellow patterned cap and a pink and black striped shirt, is talking to Cranston, a tall, white ostrich villager with a red mask-like pattern around his eyes. Cranston is smiling and wearing a simple grey shirt with a green bandana. A dialogue box at the bottom of the screen shows Cranston saying, "Here, man! It's a moss ball! Enjoy, fvck boi!" In the background, there is a lit fish tank containing a single fish, a ceramic pot, a wooden table with a basket of fruit, and a bed with a colorful patterned rug.

Finished the last chapter of Unmasking for Life. I was crying throughout the reading, and I ended up journaling after to help get my thoughts better together. Where do I go from here to live a fully unmasked life? What are my priorities? What legacy do I want to leave? It's a lot to think about.

Post a picture YOU took, just a picture, NO description
A person with tattoos on their hands and arms holds a black skateboard with blue star and moon designs. They have short fingernails painted with alternating glittery orange and dark maroon polish. On the back of their left hand is a large tattoo of the Animal Crossing leaf, and their right hand features a similar leaf tattoo from Super Mario Bros. 3 in an orange autumnal shade. They are wearing a light pink t-shirt with a black line art illustration of flowers growing out of a book. Their arms are heavily tattooed, including a visible anime-style character on their left bicep.

It is good to have this show back. One of my all time favorites. This episode contains so much of what makes the show wonderful: slow pace, strong bonds, the past as it parallels the present, cool monsters, touching moments. Plus Mrs. Green Apple doing the opening song! 10/10

Below her, Fern, a young woman with long purple hair and a dark cloak, and Stark, a young man with red hair and a red jacket, look upward. The background is filled with jagged, glowing blue crystal formations. Large white text at the bottom reads "FRIEREN" with the subtitle "Beyond Journey's End" below it.

Work has been taking all my focus today. I miss all the cool people on here, but I will say that not seeing anything news related the first half of the day was nice. My nervous system had a chance to rest a little.

This season three premiere packs a lot into the episode, and like previous seasons, the show does a great job at taking an honest look behind the scenes of entertainment and fame. With the darkness of the show focused in a new place, this season should be interesting. 8/10

Also forgot that I made the melody for my island interactions to be the Jurassic Park theme song. I laughed the first time it happened after I booted it up today. Damn, I was having a lot of fun back when ACNH was first around.

Okay, everyone posting about Animal Crossing convinced me to boot it up over lunch. Can't remember half the controls or what the hell I'm doing. And I forgot my upstairs was just a room of instruments and shoes 🔥🔥🔥 A resident said it's been 5 years and 7 months. Damn!!
A screenshot from Animal Crossing: New Horizons showing a character with a blue mohawk and punk-style clothing standing in a room filled with musical instruments. The walls and floor are covered in a dark skull pattern, and dozens of pairs of colorful sneakers are displayed on the back wall. The room features various instruments, including a graffiti-covered piano, two drum sets, several guitars, amplifiers, a DJ booth, a synthesizer, and a marimba. In the bottom left corner, a timestamp reads 12:41 PM, Wednesday, January 14.

I'm excited for the Animal Crossing update, but it also feels completely overwhelming thinking about firing up my old island. So I'm probably not going to end up playing it 😔

Forgot these still hadn't been released when I said the movie one was the last. Pretty sure this is actually the last of these. I only play Nintnedo games on my Switch. Add achievements and I'd play your system more, Nintendo.
