(Also, don't buy the game. Save your $100+ and buy, like...5 - or more - indie games. Or, like...a nice massage. Oh, and if you aren't getting it, be VERY loud and VERY direct with Rockstar that the layoffs are why.)

Took me less than 30 sec to do the alt text for this.

The disrespect you have for disabled people is obvious when you choose not to accommodate them in such an excessively easy way.
Screenshot of text: "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): OMB's General Counsel provided a letter to USDA on May 23, 2025 stating that there is a bona fide need to obligate benefits for October - the first month of the fiscal year - during or prior to the month of September, thereby guaranteeing that benefit funds are available for program operations even in the event of a government shutdown at the beginning of a fiscal year. In addition, Congressional intent is evident that SNAP's operations should continue since the program has been provided with multi-year contingency funds that can be used for State Administrative Expenses to ensure that the State can also continue operations during a Federal Government shutdown. These multi-year contingency funds are also available to fund participant benefits in the event that a lapse occurs in the middle of the fiscal year. To fulfill this Congressional intent, it is necessary that a limited number of FNS employees be excepted from furlough to support program operations. These activities include, but are not limited to, program policy and operations, financial management, and stakeholder communications." (Text that has been highlighted: "SNAP benefit funds are available for program operations even in the event of a government shutdown")

The Department of Defense has quietly delayed its cleanup of harmful “forever chemicals” at nearly 140 military installations across the country, according to a list of sites analyzed by The New York Times. The Pentagon has been one of the most intensive users of these chemicals, which are also known as PFAS and are a key ingredient in firefighting foam. For decades, crews at U.S. military bases would train to battle flames by lighting jet-fuel fires, then putting them out with large amounts of foam, which would leach into the soil and groundwater. In 2017, military communities nationwide began to report alarming levels of the chemicals in their drinking water. A growing body of research has linked PFAS exposure to serious health concerns including certain types of cancer as well as child developmental and fertility issues.

If you refuse to wear a mask, I'm gonna start assuming you're the same as this person. I have zero goodwill for non-maskers anymore.

You make the world more dangerous.

You ARE a factor of danger for vulnerable people.

Start masking if you haven't already. I am fucking SERIOUS about this.
Screenshot of Bluesky post ("Michael" his handle is cut-off "captain-corona...") So let's just stay inside all our lives. Ok. There is a risk to everything in life. For me I'm more likely to die of other things. I'm not masking for someone who has no business being in public with no social distance. They are ignorant. Trump supporter most likely. Be a good death.

("they would ignore me anyways, my word wont count to them") nope wrong- even if your words dont reach them, the abundance of phone calls about this issue will eventually sink in and prompt change, you dont have to be amazing at talking to get your point across additionally there are international numbers you can call (screenshotted text continued from last image, parenthesized text still red, the rest still white) "("well i'm too anxious to call them, someone else will do it") nope wrong- you can only 'someone else will do it' so much until no one is calling. and trust me im deeply anxious about phone calls too, like stressed out sweating shaking levels of anxious but i prioritize this entire movement over that, and eventually you will realize no one on the other end of the call can hurt you on any way, you have the power d ("well i dont use those payment processing services") even if you dont, my first point stands. if you care about art and the freedom to create and consume it, you can contribute

What happens when you forget your new grinder has a keef catch.
Close-up photo of my hand holding the bottom chamber of a rose gold grinder. In the middle is a pile of keef and there are obvious scrape lines in a dusting of keef that remains on the rest of the surface. The wall it is held up in front of is a medium jean blue. The lighting is coming from above and to the right and the closeness of the photo causes the front side of the grinder to be blurred.

I need to jump back into Sandrock to kiss my two husbands.

Then I need to make a new save bc I'm at the end of the game with the others AND I MUST acquire more spouses.

The only issue is WHO NEXT 😰
Screenshot from the game "My Time At Sandrock" of my player character and Fang, a romanceable character, kissing. They are outside, in a desert climate, with sparse ground vegetation, a large tree with orange leaves, and large red rock boulders. The player character is facing away and Fang is facing towards the camera. Fang's eyes are closed, his arms are wrapped slightly around their shoulders and he is leaning his head down for the kiss. The player characters head is tilted up and their hand is on Fang's chest. The PC has long, slightly wavy ginger hair, a portion of the front pulled back in two braids and tied together in the middle. Fang has grey-black, long hair that is tucked behind his shoulders. He is wearing a teal-blue jacket with a short-sleeved, black overcoat. Screenshot from the game "My Time At Sandrock" of my player character and Logan, a romanceable character, kissing. They are outside, in a desert climate amongst red rock canyons. The player character and Logan are facing each other, their sides facing the camera.

The player character has their eyes closed and has turned their head up to meet Logan's lips. The PC has long, slightly wavy pink hair, a portion of the front pulled back in two braids and tied together in the middle.

Never seen him do it before, I feel blessed 🤣

The moment Simeon realized their infatuation with Davrin hit way deeper than they expected 💕🥹

#MurnOC #SimeonThorne
Photo from a cutscene of Dragon Age Veilguard. My Rook, Simeon, is on the right and Davrin is on the left. Assan, Davrin's griffon, is partially visible in the right foreground, facing towards the others. They are outside, with rusty red and green bushes and a few boulders behind them. Davrin and Simeon are crouched down and their bodies are facing each other at a slight angle. Davrin has his eyes closed and his head in line with his chest. Simeon is looking at Davrin with great attention, corner of their mouth turned up in a small smile. Davrin is an Elf with a deep brown skin color and black 4c hair, cut close on the sides, with the top shaped at an angle, gaining height closer to his forehead. He has vallaslin tattooed on his face - medium thick lines, thinning at their ends, stylistically mimicking a bow across his forehead, pointing downward. Simeon is Qunari with deep gray slate skin and straight, short maroon hair combed forward into short bangs. Their eyes has black sclera and a red iris. Their horns go an inch or so past the back of their head, curving slightly inward, then curving out. There are wide silver cuffs on each and the ends are a blue gemstone, capped in silver.

#MurnOC #AkriDeRiva
Photo of Akri De Riva, a Qunari Rook from Dragon Age: the Veilguard. It is from their chest up, with their horns not fully in the picture. They are looking to their left, lips slightly parted and brows lightly furrowed in a look of concerned surprise. They have light, slate grey skin, with pink tones on the top of their nose, apples of their cheeks and lips. They have darker grey and blush tones on their under eye (meant to mimic "bruising" or more severe dark circles, not meant to be makeup). They have one scar horizontally cutting across their left cheek/cheekbone. There is a partially visible tattoo of a rope - lined in dark red, weaving up and down their neck as it goes around. They have fully black eyes - sclera included. Their hair is long and straight, pulled back from where their hairline is between their horns. It's kind of hard to tell, but their hair is a very dark purple, almost black. Their horns have thick gold cuffs on them - two closer to the base and two closer to the ends (the latter aren't in frame). They are wearing tattered leather and cloth armor, with only a faded red scarf and neutral gray cloak in frame. The cloak has leather tabs over the upper part of each pec.

They are looking completely to the right so their profile is in full view. Hard to see their expression, but an assumed look of light confusion or concern is on their face (can tell their brows are a bit furrowed). They have light, slate grey skin, the details of their skin tone are evened out by the desaturation. They have one scar horizontally cutting across their left cheek/cheekbone. They have fully black eyes - sclera included. Their hair is long and straight with the sides shaven. It's not very visible, but their hair is a very dark purple.

I used to have a Rook called Ether Naishe. They're amazing, but they always felt...idk, I just was always changing them - not in a "building on their story way" but a "I don't think that was right, but maybe this?" way

Now I have two Qunari Rooks

Simeon Thorne & Akri De Riva

#MurnOC
Photo of Simeon Thorne, a Qunari Rook from Dragon Age: the Veilguard. It is from their chest up, with their horns not fully being in the picture. They have medium-dark grey skin with a slight blue undertone. They have straight, short, deep red hair that is brushed forward between their horns, forming short bangs. They have two large scars on their face that go from the center of their forehead, through their right eye, to their jawline. The right eye has signs of cataracts. The other eye is undamaged and has a black sclera (both eyes do) with a red iris. Their nose is crooked, their lips are full, and they have freckles across their nose and cheekbones. The blue crystal ends of their horns are slightly in frame on the right side as well as the hint of a silver cuff closer to the base. They are wearing heavy leather armor (only part of the shoulders is in frame - green leather with thick gold trim) and a red scarf with an embroidered snake (done with only slightly darker red thread).

I wasn't able to go on the family trip this week (tried, but an hour in my back pain was agonizing and I had to be brought back home 😓) but my dog, Bert, went with bc it would've been boring and sad home alone with just me (while recovering from the drive).

Look how handsome he is!!! 💕
Photo of my dog, Bert. He is a large mutt that looks like a Chocolate Labrador, but with darker brown brindled fur and a white patch on his chest and a few toes. He is laying down on hard packed red earth, his back resting against a wall made of similar material. His mouth is open, tongue relaxed and resting over his teeth. His expression is neutral and calm.

Nobody told me the lich armor gives Emmrich tits...
Screenshot of companion NPC, Emmrich, from Dragon Age Veilguard. He is facing sideways and is in special armor. From this view, the chest piece of the armor is pronounced at the chest, making it look like he has breasts, especially as there is no abdomen/stomach portion of the armor (not visible, but it makes the depth of the "breasts" more pronounced).
