Happiness as I know it.

The rare excellent piece of writing on AI

I was drinking tomato juice while gaming, and I finished it, but then I died and had to reload a save from before I finished my tomato juice, and for a moment, I was genuinely confused about why my tomato juice was still empty.

American diet and "healthy living" culture is insane and runs DEEP

who the heck is eating dice, cards, and pool

WHAT is the first one supposed to be? It looks like 'piecing between meals' to me, but that can't be what it says, right?

It does in fact say “piecing between meals” and it refers to snacking

I'm more struck by the fact that the progression set forth here implies that laudanum and cocaine are less concerning that spicing your food.

Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️

Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.

Thank you to everyone who commented in their tags or messaged me. Indeed, today is “Martin and Bosco Day”. I originally whimsically blazed this photo on 13 July 2022. I never expected Martin and Bosco to travel so far and make so many new friends. The experience has been such a gift for me.

It’s now July 13, 2026: HAPPY MARTIN AND BOSCO DAY!

The other day my wife told me about this influencer who said she needed to go on ozempic so she could go from 130 lbs down to 115 and I really cannot stress the degree to which we have so COMPLETELY lost the plot with this glp1 shit. Like not only are people are going on this shit for purely cosmetic purposes, the cosmetic purposes are delusional. This is the kind of mindset that gives people eating disorders but now because you can get a prescription instead of having to starve yourself or enduce vomiting a big swath of the general public seems eager to go along with it. Body Positivity did not go fucking far enough because I am being so real when I say that fatphobia is more of a public health crisis than obesity has ever been

I kept forgetting my nighttime antidepressant so I set an alarm where the sound was a recording of me saying "HEY. TAKE YOUR FUCKING PILL" because I thought it would be funny. It was funny about three times, and then it started making me mad and I'd dismiss it right away to make it stop. So I handed my phone to my partner, who made another recording sweetly saying "Okay Shira, it's time to take your medication" and now I don't get mad anymore and I take my pill. The "compassion over punishment" camp has gotta get something wrong one of these days

gooseworx has been banned but neil gaiman is still up. i would say i'm baffled if i didn't know exactly why this is the case.

Glad to know we finally got an edition of "Famous (alleged) male abusers who still haven't been canceled as much as a woman who hasn't smiled enough" on Tumblr.

Say it with me! Wheelchairs aren’t sad! Mobility aids aren’t sad! Mobility aids are instruments of freedom!

How the fuck did you make that last panel say so many things without using any words at all that’s so fucking cool.

And also the indestructibility of that woman's ankles

Also check if your library offers Hoopla! "Libby is just like spotify but for books" is a bit misleading, because you do have to wait on a hold list just like you do with physical books from the library. but Hoopla really is just like spotify for books: no wait times, you can check out instantly whatever your library has with them. The trade off is that their selection isn't as broad, and often your checkout limit will be lower because libraries have to pay per checkout instead of a bulk license.
