Every day I see an infographic that’s like “Oxygen Is Now Owned By SludgeCorp: How To Keep Breathing Without Letting It Drain Your Vital Essence“ and then I have to spend an hour of my precious life figuring out if it’s worth it to stop breathing

Had an awesome time being back on the Rough Drafts podcast with the lovely @chasewassenar.bsky.social where we review the totally bonkers game, Road to Empress

This episode had everything: F1 updates, FMV Games, and my absolutely horrendous Peggy Hill Spanish

Eventually I'm going to make it myself but in the meantime does anyone have any animated shows/movies that are Daria-adjacent?
I've met plenty of women who love Daria but dont know what else to recommend which is probably why I should just animate IzzynJean soon..

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Had a lot of fun jumping on this Sienna/favorite characters trend. It was such a nice reason to revisit why I love these characters #animaticmeme #arttrend #sienna

All things must fall
and feed the waiting ground,
the hawk, the stone,
the sorrow we have known.

There is a law
where comfort can be found:
what dies becomes
the seed, the soil, the bone.

Moss covers all
with patient, final grace,
and the beginning
finds its resting place.

It feels like the longer you spend not masking, the harder it is to get back on the train in certain situations.

I literally tell my brain “your face should be making a genuine, pleasant smile so you don’t creep them out with a flat affect” and instead some sort of facies mortis comes out instead

Cuts to SNAP and Social Security are supposedly inevitable but he’s…*checks notes* a ruthless, iron-clad businessman who gets it done?

And somehow the Dems are to blame for standing in his way? Do the Republicans not have a majority in the House, Senate and Supreme Court? What you mean?

Maybe it’s my terrible memory, but I weirdly remember Halo being a series about Master Chief putting aside his differences with an alien race to ultimately survive against an existential threat coming for everyone.
Gamestop’s marketing team lost their minds snorted a line of coke and decided to use Donald Trump and the white house to push Halo combat evolved and ICE like what is even happening are we in a simulation why are video games suddenly the vehicle for political messaging where’s 343

It’s bad enough to see her on Drive to Survive, now I have to see her opinions on yet another industry she has nothing to do with.

How much money do we need to raise to make her go away forever?

Can you imagine getting harassed on the daily by nothing but entitled people all day, struggling to unionize, getting stores closed for doing so, and this knob comes in with her “service dog” to complain about a name she asked to have written on a shitty cup of tea?
these Starbucks contras are such fucking demons. every Starbucks employee should be issued a sidearm.
