Have you experienced the Tetris Effect in any way?

Yes

No

Remaining time: 5 days 12 hours

The Tetris effect occurs when someone dedicates substantial time, effort, and concentration to an activity and thereby alters their thoughts, dreams, and other experiences not directly linked to said activity.

#god yeah. constantly

me before i get my paycheck: i'm so excited to spend this on essentials and save the rest wisely

me as soon as that direct deposit hits: you know i've always wanted to learn the theremin

there’s a vid of a girl filming herself at a concert with the flash on making the rounds on twitter because she cut a line to get barrier and then hollered the whole time and every time i see it my thoughts get so mean that i’m concerned about who i am as a person

the kids are calling them "stone fruits." they start off small—think cherries. then they're hooked and they need a quick fix, they get peaches, maybe some nectarines. it's all they can think about. before you know it, they're trying the really hard stuff—apricots, plums. once they taste a mango there's no going back.

I honestly think Gen-Z and younger simply does not understand how recent widespread smartphone adoption is.

I am not that old, and I didn't have a smartphone until probably late high school. For most of my life, many if not most people were not walking around with a magic internet machine in their pocket that they pulled out and used constantly for everything.

reblog if you remember having to ration your text messages and accidentally opening the internet on your phone was the end of the world

could I ask for sci-fi book reccs with/featuring gay characters? all the project hail mary attention has reminded me to 1) finish the murderbot books and 2) how don't care much for andy weir

HELLO I have so many queer sci-fi recs... I tried to focus on gay characters here but a lot of these are also going to be trans/ gender queer gay. anyway:

Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee - Kel our protagonist is a lesbian (she might be more broadly queer but I remember it that way) and Jedao was for sure bisexual. this is battle type space opera with wildly complex world building

An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon - this is a modern classic !!! in the generation ship space sci-fi genre and for sure lesbian protagonist. also very dark and intense

The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer - this is maybe the closest to andy weir type sci-fi on this list (guys sent in to space to save humanity) and I am also obsessed with the gay romance in it!! should mention it is YA

The Iron Garden Sutra by A.D. Sui - gay death monk investigating a creeeppyy space ship. also has gay romance

Redsight by Meredith Mooring - blind author writing about blind lesbian space priestessss lesbian romance also

Floating Hotel by Grace Curtis - very fun spaceship hotel book with lots of POVs I believe two of which were lesbians

Landlocked in a Foreign Skin by Drew Huff - important addition to the lesbian alien creature in space genre

Toward Eternity by Anton Hur - more literary far future multiple POV style sci-fi that I really liked and some of the POVs were gay

The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz - this is a real engineers hope punk style sci-fi, more of a thought experiment about the future than it is narrative fiction, but ! I remember there was gay sex

Empire of the Feast by Bendi Barrett - you can read this novella in a sitting and It is real out there sexy funky space opera. its more queer than gay cause peoples genders keep changing but I would still sell it as gay

The First Sister by Linden A. Lewis - more lesbian space opera now with more of a handmaid's tale situation

These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs - this was a big deal for the evil lesbian cat and mouse space opera community

The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling - lesbian cave diving in space!

Countess by Suzan Palumbo - lesbian space opera retelling of the count of monte cristo, though much much shorter than actual count

This World Is Not Yours by Kemi Ashing-Giwa - very messy polyamory stuff on a space colony primarily focused on one lesbian couple

Local Heavens by K.M. Fajardo - not set in space but gay retelling of the great gatsby with sci-fi future setting and I ate it UP

#ooooooh #things to read

remember when you couldn’t reblog to your own blog so you had to reblog to a side blog then back to yours and if you wanted to add to the post and you accidentally added from the sideblog not the main you’d wail and gnash your teeth.

finally read the handmaid’s tale. thinking and pondering and such.

xueyangapologist

a lot of aspects of gilead society read as plausible to me (the mention at the end of hindu elements to the state religion was a clear reference to the nazis, which i’d been thinking of through the whole book as historical basis for a govt seeking to overturn how a society views marriage and reproduction) except the name gilead itself, because US american conservatism is so tied to patriotism as an identity more than a belief that i don’t believe any radical US-based consevative religious movement would ever discard the name America. perhaps this was less so in the 80s. not that fiction needs to be entirely realistic anyway, but as cultural critique it weakened for me there.

The industry-standard benchmark used by employers and typing certifications worldwide.

➡️ 'Typing classes' refers to computer skills classes you might have had in school; you can also count games or other related typing training your parents might have had you do.

➡️ Across 3 different typing test websites*, the (english language) world average typing speed is 40 WPM.

often you will see things online where you just have to be like "what a strange thing to say" or "i don't think that's true :)" to yourself and try to move on or you will lose your mind

#last week i stumbled on someone who vitriocally hates an author i have no opinion on #but even from the screenshot they shared as justification i could tell they were overreacting #and physically i moved on but emotionally i'm still there #like why would you say that. calm down.
