me exactly 1 hour into a flight: flying is the best thing man has ever achieved. the wright brothers should be given sainthood

I think what we're missing in the world is a glee ttrpg. a one-pager where your party has to get through regionals. I think this would be fun for me specifically and not very many other people

Bluesky is fun but I am endlessly endeared by the boomer posting vibes. I have seen this image be posted without a hint of irony three times this week-- if you added a minion it would do numbers on Facebook

I have a red panda filled with beans that you can heat up in the microwave to use as a heating pad, problem is it feels unbelievably cruel
