Funny, they always have these weird recordings from a deranged Australian.

Kaio-what?

Honestly with my social anxiety, self checkout works perfectly for me. I feel a hard to describe tension when being rung up by most folks that I don't feel when ringing myself up, and if I'm just popping in for a few things I'd rather not stress myself out more than I need to.

Call it cheesy, but people need to tell each other "I love you" more often.

If ya got good speakers, there's a whole world of fantastic trippy albums that are fantastic to listen to if you want a good chatty/vibey/general low energy night. I can recommend a few albums of different genres and styles if ya like!

Working on weaning out caffeine. My current coffee blend is mostly decaf with a few beans thrown in from my last caffeinated batch, ground myself and cold brewed for 13-16 hours, taken just with a splash of half and half cream and no sweetener.

Saxophonist here, it's professionally known as a saxoridoo.

Germans speak deutsch, whereas the Dutch speak Nederlands. The German language is just called German in English, and the Dutch language is just called Dutch.

Bed bugs made us burn our furniture. In the end we still paid several hundred dollars for an exterminator cause they were that persistent.

Whitey here, but here's some insight from a queer person in the deeply conservative south. I'm cis and straight passing enough that at worst I get some odd looks from time to time, but my other queer friends haven't had better luck. Just recently one of them was being tailed in a grocery store by a dude and his kid, and they'd overheard the father say awful things about them to his kid, including "vile," "dirty," and "f*ggot" Didn't confront my friend over it thankfully, cops in this town are notoriously bad if you're not a white anglo saxon protestant man.

It's like Roko's Basilisk playing out in real time, except instead of building a malignant computer out of fear it's accelerating a fascist takeover.

The most punk thing for me to to as a person of queer is to keep living, but God is it hard to find the spirit.

Seeing shit like this play out just makes it harder to keep going. At this point it's a matter of when I do it, not if. What point is there if it's only getting worse? I've seen my best years by now

Evidently, yes.

What a horrid perversion of the very human experience of art. Miyazaki would want nothing of this.

Oh wow, little strange to see Pulsar's account outside certain furry circles :o He ain't wrong tho.

For shame.

No.

Fuck off with your cryptospam bullshit.

The far right is, quite literally, removing the freedom for undesired people to do what they want. If a woman needs an abortion to survive an ectopic pregnancy or a trans person wants HRT, the far right says no.
