I have been a teacher, an operations specialist, and a maximum security prison guard. I'd rather be working in games.

Just saw this by Harlequin Diver and I'm already in love with the aesthetic. Not on steam yet, but I'll be wishlisting it the moment it is.

Just dropped a weird little app I’ve been building -- canvas-based note system with sticky notes and AI agents. Built with React, Supabase, edge functions, and a few bad decisions.

Would love feedback, validation, or a job.

What's everyone doing with their rapidly growing anger and resentment? Asking for a friend.

As a middle aged burnout with ADHD, I am typically either terrified of how people view me, or demonstrating just enough rare confidence that I give off unintended arrogance.

So, behold my double chin and jackass hair.

Is there an account I can follow that's pro AI, but anti AI fanboys?

I'm anti senseless use of AI when it's a sloppy substitution for human work, pro AI when I just need sloppy work done faster

I'm annoyed when anti AI folks cite outdated accusations, and when pro AI folks think it's the fUtUrE

@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social I was diagnosed with ADHD early last year, and I'm seeing the symptoms in everyone, even places where I'm likely overthinking it. My question: Are any of your characters intentionally written to have characteristics of ADHD or Autism? Or is it just art imitating life?

The "five sentence" people in the replies are ALSO wrong.

It is particularly hard to get a student to understand that something is a guideline... so, instead, we lied. We picked a number and said it HAS to be this many.

Paragraph breaks only exist to allow monks a moment to eat between passages.

in elementary school i was taught that a paragraph must be exactly 4 sentences with one being an introduction and one being a conclusion. i'm still dealing with the damage that caused to my ability to write

I am, at this moment, in this life, not me.

At least, that's how it seems.

And I want to get out and introduce myself, to meet new people, to see new worlds, and if I could only get my shoes back on my feet I might take that step back into the Light.

Those are my shoes.

But these aren't my feet.
