every time I mention how many days sober I am I appreciate people congratulating me and telling me to keep up the good work. it is nice. but I also wish that milestones in addiction recovery weren’t still so pinned to length of sobriety/abstinence

sorry if this is completely off topic but people seem to be the same with recovery from self harm. it's like the days are the milestone instead of whatever I consider an improvement. there was a really helpful post that I saw years ago that said a slip up doesn't undo all the work you put in during the previous length of time.

shoutout to the person in my building that left their halloween skeleton on their balcony and proceeded to dress it up for other holidays

OKAY FINE HERE'S WHAT I'VE FOUND

And the post of the year goes to.....

it's like she's some kind of cursed homonculus that stole his eyes

i hate mlm content. i hate how privileged non female queers are. i hate how people make it seem like being a male and gay is something special.

Yeah man because non-female queer people are so privileged and never discriminated against or face violence. Theres no places in the world where it's still illegal to be gay. Theres no places in the world where gay men face threats to their lives if they're open and proud about it. That doesn't happen at all. Homophobia actually only exists for queer women now everyone else is completely accepted. (Obviously sarcastic)

Nasty and sophisticated scam: BEWARE of this!

What to actually do If you get one of these, the answer is boring and it works every time: Don't call the number. Don't reply. Don't click links in the email — not even the unsubscribe link. Open a fresh browser tab, type paypal.com yourself, and log into your account. Check your activity. You'll see either nothing, or a tiny incoming payment from a stranger that you can ignore. Then forward the original email as an attachment to [email protected] and delete it. If you want to go a step further, report the phone number to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov — every report makes it slightly harder for these operations to keep running. And if you've already called? Don't beat yourself up — these scams are designed by professionals to fool smart people. Hang up, run a malware scan if you installed anything they asked you to install, change your PayPal and bank passwords from a different device, and call your bank's real fraud line (the number on the back of your card) to flag your accounts. Move fast, but you don't need to panic.

— If an email recently landed in your inbox with a subject line like "Pending charge of USD 987.90 for account activation. Questions? Call (855) 629-1161" — don't call that number. Don't click anything. And whatever you do, don't panic-dial to "stop the charge."

So I was scrolling and saw this image in an article about the European heat wave,

Dragons are fireless until they undergo the Hroom, the traditional draconic ceremony where a fledgling dragon will go out into the world and make a bargain with a spirit of elemental fire to live in their soul in a state of mutual symbiosis. The spirit receives shelter and nourishment, while the dragon receives a source of elemental fire, which it can only now use to defend itself.

i think you should post about rain world again you're boring as fuck dude
