Twinkly stars, twinkly snow!

oh this is a life saver

Well now I have no excuse to say “there’s no food at home” 😐

I know this is due to my particular constellation of interests, but for me the funniest thing about the "everything in a given century happened simultaneously" view of history being applied to the 1900s is bumping into increasing numbers of people who are genuinely unclear on whether Dungeons & Dragons pre-dates or post-dates The Lord of the Rings.

tolkien had to call them hobbits to avoid running afoul of Hasbro's trademark of the word 'halfling'

It was TSR's trademark of the word 'halfling', Hasbro didn't get control of D&D until after the end of WW2.

Update: this tastes like if a baha blast could kill you and annihilates any ongoing anxiety attacks

Update update: comparing this to a long island is like comparing a pickup truck to a tank

One of my favourite things about Bruce Wayne as a character is that, in universe, it’s so easy to presume that Batman’s greatest strength is his brain, with his detective skills and strategies. Or it could be his body, which he’s turned into a weapon through years of training so that he can be the best and do what nobody else can do. But it’s only those closest to him that realise that Batman — that Bruce’s — biggest strength is his incorruptible heart. He is a bleeding heart and an optimist at his core, and I need everyone (*cough* DC studios *cough*) to realise that that’s what makes Batman so special.

Last time this came around I showed my three year old and he said "He's little like me!" and stared for a whole minute (v. Long in toddler time).

It's interesting how some of those fake mobile game ads seem to be backpedalling on the openly misogynistic framing and making an effort to appeal to female players instead, but whoever's making the ads clearly hasn't the slightest idea how to aim for that audience. All "ladies are into cleaning shit and bossing men around, right? How do we gamify that?"

ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to deny location sharing and turn off personalized ads and reject all non-essential cookies and not set up siri and face ID

The “you couldn’t boycott chik fil a” post was a psyop in this essay I will-

In the notes of this post, you will see rather desperate attempts to keep up the “nothing has really changed, your work doesn’t matter and everything is horrible forever” argument, which only proves to me that I’m right about this particular psyop.

I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

“What if there’s no good reason for them to be lazy?” It’s a free country and I refuse to think about anyone’s decisions for how they live their life that do not impact me in any meaningful way
