I am a tired crab with a soft shell. I resent having to be a cockroach.

What level of tired is it when the only words you can think of to describe noted artist Joseph Mallord William Turner‘s style is “brush slut?”

When you get a “thanks for the great direction!” from an absolute legend of an artist who should probably be directing you tbh

I wrote creative text for Reality Fracture! Card names and flavor text as part of a *very* exciting team of writers.

No more to say now, but I did have a ton of fun working on the set ✨🤐

This career is wild. I’m supposed to be a merch designer, project manger, social media manager, convention logistics manager, book keeper, R&D, and probably more AND THEN somehow find time to go to the gym, cook healthy food, and have meaningful relationships.

I’m tired lol

Do you remember making potions as a kid, and yearn for that experience as an adult? Do you like making delicious treats but hate the oven in the summer? Do you have someone who's neck you want to wring? Do you need to work out your grip strength? Try my favorite fancy lemonade recipe!

A friend of mine just got their wisdom teeth removed which reminded me that when I got mine out I woke up from the anesthesia in a completely empty room with a red rose on my chest.

Did anyone else have this experience or did I like, briefly die or something. The people (me) need answers.

I got my hair cut today with the goal of looking more visibly gay and then got jumped 3 hours later by three extremely inebriated women who wanted to make out with me. So it worked? Maybe too well?

Please god do not use this app. This feature is going to kill people.
"AllTrails has a new generative AI feature that can be asked to 'shorten my route' or 'make this more scenic.'

But the people in charge of searching for lost hikers say the feature is going to exacerbate an issue they’ve been warning about for years: hiking apps providing false information."

As of 2025, Seattle's population is approximately 764,753.

10% of Seattle showed up at /this/ protest and there were more than just this one.
“At the largest rally in Seattle, over 70,000 people flooded the streets shoulder-to-shoulder, marching en masse from Capitol Hill to Seattle Center — making it one of the largest protests in the city’s history. “

SEATTLE SHOWS UP FOR DEMOCRACY!
