when we are in the thick of the bad times, it's easy to look back with fondness on times lost.

but in those times we were pretty focused on the bad. we couldn't see what good we had for focusing on the bad.

so yeah, stuff is bad. real bad. and we should fight to make it better.

but.

good morning ✨🌈✨

you are more than what you make.

your interests don't need to be "productive" to be worthwhile

it's okay to love things that others call childish or irrelevant or cringe.

love what you love, so long as you harm none in your pursuit.

you are valid.

gang if you can't afford to buy a book request it from your local library and then borrow it from them. it costs you nothing! it may take slightly longer but this way the author gets paid! also libraries are friggin' rad and you should support them!!!
I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.

Yes, stole it.

I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

unsure how to word this but to anyone who has ever been manipulated, taken advantage of, & hurt i just want to say that you are seen & you’re not alone. you will find people who truly care for you & who will see to it that nothing bad happens to you again. i found those people, despite it all. 💜🫂

For the uninitiated, Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey of the Montreal Victoire are married, have a habit of fighting on the ice for each other, and got penalties together at today's game. Hockey romance is not a fictional genre in the women's game, that's for sure.

The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

I saw this AI image shared in a Discord I'm in & was inspired to make the real thing. There are a LOT of fake crochet patterns out there, I wanted to give (especially beginners) a real pattern instead. Support real artists making real work, not AI.
