As a young woman, I refused to return to comics shops that allowed CatPissMen behavior. The first shop I ever went into that didn't put up with that crap was like a refreshing desert oasis. It pains me that someone still has to tell people all this 30 years later. 🧵
I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

I am so high right now and not even on anything fun (cold meds because I cannot sleep for more than 1 hour without coughing like a Victorian orphan in a dank workhouse).

For right-wing blockheads, "the pure races of [Middle] Earth need to join forces to defeat mixed-breeds, tainted descendants of once mighty folk and swarthy people from far continents" is the takeaway there, not "evil is a product of our choices" or "anyone can be a hero regardless of bloodline."

Couldn't sleep until 6 am thanks to the coughing. My speaking voice sounds like a longshoreman. Spent all day nodding off to weird dreams. Even the cats left me in disgust. Finally roused myself well past dark to shower and eat something other than stale Chips Ahoy. I am a goddess of self-care.

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

I left a box of donut holes on the kitchen table last night and when M came downstairs in the morning, it was on the floor and donut holes had been rolled all around.

The Tooth Worm! People only really understood the cause of tooth decay in 19thC. Some thought worms caused this pain by gnawing into the teeth.This replica of an 18thC French Ivory of the tooth worm is in the Medical History Museum in Ingolstadt last year. Reminds me I need to go to the dentist…

Guess I'm getting the scarecrow treatment.
As I'm sure you're aware, the fifth of January is the day of the Schnabelperchten, a creature of Austrian folklore who will check your house for cleanliness. If they decide you haven't done a good enough job, they'll slit open your belly and fill it with straw. Happy New Year..!

Reading posts like this often feels like sitting in a school cafeteria watching the popular kids beefing with each other and assuming that it amounts to school-wide disruption, while my pals and I are just here in our niche having an okay time. Different goals, I guess.
I want this site to beat twitter, and for twitter to evaporate. For that to happen, people you hate must have a more pleasant experience posting here than posting there.
A minority of this site decided instead that they want it to be their little club, so that's what we have.

I'm done. Man wasn't supposed to live like this. Man used to paint mammoths onto cave walls. Now man has to attend meeting to explain why he keeps emailing pictures of mammoths to his colleagues. Because they look cool and you won't let me paint on the office walls you dipshits

Day 5 of being sick. Our house still sounds like an infirmary for consumptives. Cats desperate for hugs because all anybody does is lay around coughing or grumbling. Thank the gods for grocery delivery.

It's after 2 am here and I can't sleep due to coughing my brains out, so I went looking online for fucked up things and an ad was served to me which led me to this. And now I really want to buy it just for the sheer mayhem I could cause with it.
