i need more games where i can play as a kobold but too many of them are just horny and that's not what i'm after. i don't want curvacious purple women with horns and tails badly passed off as reptilian i want little freaklets who bite toes and stare at you like this

i'm so tired of my cat stealing food he can't have bc my family won't clean up after themselves. i'm this close to taking him off his diet just so he's back to being disinterested in scavenging for ppl food again. being fat HAS to be better for him than getting poisoned, right.

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.

What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.
Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

lrs i knooooowwwwww i talk about this all the time but the nuance i always wanna add to the convo of "the key to getting good at [drawing] is building frustration tolerance" is also learning how to recognize when you literally just hate doing a specific art form and learning how to accept that.

Being unable to tolerate frustration + chasing social media clout gotta be a big reason why ppl jumped on the gen ai machine to churn out slop

Actually somewhat-massive news, COCONA, one of the members of the all-Japanese based-in-Korea group XG, has come out as non-binary transmasc and having had top surgery

Which for an active idol in either country is just unheard of, never mind one at such a big group. They look amazing!
XG’s Cocona Comes Out as Transmasculine, Nonbinary
The 20-year-old rapper announced the news in an Instagram post: “I was born and perceived as female, but that label never represented who I truly am. I live in a way that feels more masculine and true...

Somebody in the comments was like "flame war sounds so corny though" YES THAT'S THE POINT, "discourse" gives what amounts to turbo-dorks arguing on the internet (I'm one of them I'm allowed to use that term) an unearned veneer of legitimacy.

my advice to u all if random saves on ur posts distress u or confuse u:

1) ppl save posts for all kinds of arcane but benign reasons. i save posts bc they included a word i wanna look up later but i don't have the brain power to learn a new word rn.
2) get ublock origin and eyedrop the saves stat.

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.
Eurovision has allowed Israel to compete in 2026.

Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, and the Netherlands have pulled out of the competition following the decision.

Going into 7.4 remember:

Talking around spoilers in vague ways is spoilers.

Alt text spoilers are spoilers.

And I can't believe I have to put this one up after 7.3 but: Spoilers in Display Names are Spoilers and those can't be muted holy fuck
Comments like 'I sure hope nothing bad happens to (x)' definitely made me go 'If I was not up to patch and saw that I would be so stressed and wondering'

adding: memes out of context are still spoilers!

as a friendly reminder for those newer to the xiv community, there's an unwritten/unspoken rule where a 2-week spoiler embargo is placed on new patch content. please use rot13.com to discuss any spoilers if you REALLY need to yap about it publicly

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).

It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.

Make sure you have these disabled.

DO NOT USE ALT TEXT FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR ACCESSIBLE DESCRIPTIONS OF IMAGES AND VIDEOS !!!! THEY ARE AN ACCESSIBILITY FEATURE FOR THOSE WITH ISSUES SEEING AND THOSE WHO USE SCREEN READERS!! I AM ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS IS AN ANTI-DISABILITY EPIDEMIC IN THIS FANDOM!!!!!!!!
