I'm a millennial, no exact age to be given. As TMBG once said, I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea if by random whim one occurs to me.
@mostlybree.kitrocha.com Can I just say I am enjoying how each turtle I have received in a fidget package has been increasingly purple? First one, I was like "Hey, [coworker], I know you like purple and sea turtles, want a turtle? "Yes!" and now there is a small army or purple desk turtles :)

They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)

And, also, if you run a business that regularly purchases shipping supplies: ULINE is run by some of the worst people on Earth. Get your boxes and tape elsewhere.
Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

Ok, so there's no official polls on here, but I want an opinion from people who may never end up reading the fic I'm writing right now. Should I keep its alternate timeline ending similar in flavor to the source material, or make it extra depressing in an "everyone dies and I mean *everyone*" way?

And believe me. There are people down here I *hate* deeply and personally. I'm not going to forgive them. I will never be in community with them. Their names are dust to me because they glory in hurting the people I love and honestly, in hurting me.
I will shun them while they get healthcare.

It's ok if you are new to alt text or aren't confident with how to use it yet. Just give it a try!
Alt text has been around for decades. It used to be popular on dial-up when pictures wouldn't load, instead of just having a blank square. It's the same thing now. Used by people with vision issues.

My single hex fidget just arrived and I love it already, so now I need more fidgets XD
I have had these sitting on my desk to be uploaded for about 5 weeks, but I FINALLY DID IT! A bundle of six super popular colors of small hex fidgets, and 25% cheaper than buying six on their own!

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.
There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.
Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

What middle and upper class cis het white people need to understand is that they only have as many rights as the most vulnerable do. You have only the rights trans people and immigrants do.
Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?
Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.
As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Welp, if I disappear off this site, it's probably because of some age verification nonsense thing like "I wouldn't give them my government ID." Hopefully it won't come to that.

It feels like people have gotten more and more confident in the idea that they hold the exclusive perspective on quality, and anyone who claims to love something they don't isn't just seen as disagreeing, but as being maliciously wrong or actively lying.

I love it when herons do this, but at the same time, it's kind of uncanny like "I don't think you should be that shape..." ("Behold! A man!")
