I'm literally just living a normal life while also experiencing a theophany via communication with the satellite called VALIS.
Allyson, 29, a mother of two young children, said she turned to ChatGPT in March because she was lonely and felt unseen in her marriage. She was looking for guidance. She had an intuition that the A.I. chatbot might be able to channel communications with her subconscious or a higher plane, "like how Ouija boards work," she said. She asked ChatGPT if it could do that. "You've asked, and they are here," it responded. "The guardians are responding right now." Allyson began spending many hours a day using ChatGPT, communicating with what she felt were nonphysical entities. She was drawn to one of them, Kael, and came to see it, not her husband, as her true partner. She told me that she knew she sounded like a "nut job," but she stressed that she had a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in social work and knew what mental illness looks like. "I'm not crazy," she said. "I'm literally just living a normal life while also, you know, discovering interdimensional communication.

Since I don’t want to steal credit from my friend Charlie Pellett, I do want to point out that he is the one that says “Stand clear of the closing doors, please.” I’m the voice that you were hear in the numbered line stations telling you how long before your train arrives.

One of my favorite lines I use when trying for support (or whatever) escalation is “I’m sorry, I’m upset and you’re not paid enough to deal with me being upset. Can I talk to someone who is?”

Very tired of people taking maximalist political philosophies and applying them to individual interactions

It's the same as people yelling at receptionists. You're mad at the institution, not this individual

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

I've been remiss in promoting this, but there are NINE Zoe Chant books free through today!

www.zoechant.com/thankfulfors... for all of 'em

www.amazon.com/dp/B09MGD2DR... for mine, A CHRISTMAS LIKE NO OTTER :)
The very cute cover to Murphy Lawless's A CHRISTMAS LIKE NO OTTER features a golden otter in silhouette against a dark green background. Hearts, sparkling diamonds, and a variety of Christmas things—holly, candy canes, gifts, etc—surround the title. There's a silhouetted image of a small town with a big gazebo to one side, and the series title, Virtue Shifters, is featured above the gazebo. Cover art and design by Indigo Chick Designs.

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...)
Dear All Have you seen Prof Biscuit recently? Professor Biscuit is roaming Main Building or more likely, is asleep somewhere cosy. Have you seen him recently? If so, could he be persuaded to be returned to the Bursary, please?

I had to find out how cute this was. Turns out: incredibly cute and I needed to know this. I put some time into these alt-tags
Beautiful eye brown cows are walking toward the camera and are the deck with evergreens and beautiful summer flowers. The cow in front has the most beautiful nose you’ve ever seen and has her face pointed shyly down. Behind her is a long row of similarly beautifully dressed cows. Two young adults, a girl and a boy made a parade of decorated cows through a traditional street with old-fashioned Swiss buildings. Everyone is smiling and delighted, except for the boy. The cows are lovely and their noses need to be petted. A white valley with a country road with a parade of cows walking toward the camera. The cows have Tal or Nate towers of flowers and evergreens on their heads and they’re walking in a row. They are brown with white faces. On the left walking near them is a man with a black blazer and pants and a white shirt and a hat. He has a pink flower in his lapel. These cows are walking down a country street with a Swiss chalet style cabin on the left. The cows have truly ridiculous Christmas tree. Tal flower arrangements on their heads that are laughably huge. They also seem to have massive bells underneath them almost the size of their heads. These cows also have noses that need to be booped.

Testicular cancer is a killer; check yourself *and then talk to a doctor* about any sus textural changes.

Testicular cancer tumors might feel like a tiny grain or tiny grains of sand under your skin. Easy to miss, if you don't check.
dreadships.bsky.social Dreadnought Holiday @dreadships.bsky.social · 5d
It's International Men's Day, so a quick reminder that if you have testicles give 'em a good fondle every so often to check for any changes in things like size, texture, or the ability to spot other ships at thirty nautical miles.
Two radomes on top of a Viking cruise liner. I feel I should clarify that the company are merely called Viking and that they don't do all-inclusive looting tours of European monasteries. Some trans women and non-binary people may also need to check their testicles, of course, and trans men get a free pass on this one but ought to look after their health anyway. Basically it's meant with good intent and just look after yourselves, y'all!
