Sorry for grandpa screenshots (phone photo of second screen) but working out some frustration in Procreate tonight โ€” havenโ€™t made the second one work yet after a few iterations and color may have been a false move, but frankly I just needed something absorbing to do with my hands, and my spite

Saints Row series is high art and Iโ€™m tired of pretending otherwise

A lot of Appalachians (myself included) hate Hillbilly Elegy for making us out to be hicks, addicts, and hatred-filled moral failures. I canโ€™t wait for six months from now when Vance is like โ€œwhy did these people I made characters of not vote for me/my presidential candidate.โ€

As a kid from the mountains: Hillbilly Elegy was an awful memoir that disrespected the real people of Appalachia, many of whom are leftists (like me/my family). Fuck that guy.

Folks this is pretty much true EVERYWHERE now. If your city plants a tree somewhere, odds are really good that's all they're going to do for it, and if it's getting too hot and dry in Seattle for young trees to survive... Adopt a new tree near you. Give it a milk jug of water once or twice a week.
Seattle friends! Know how the city has been planting saplings to replace trees that have died from heat/drought/age? The city does not actually water them regularly! In this dry heat, a lot of them are dying. Gator bags say they need 15 gal/week. If you see one in distress on your street, adopt it.

The โ€œsomething about itโ€ is most likely bilateral stimulation (both halves of the brain)! Evidence continues to support that more difficult emotions and memories require more brainpower to process, so getting electrical activity bilaterally/simultaneously facilitates this.
If you come across it, and this sounds like a joke but isnโ€™t, try to play Tetris within 30 minutes. Something about it works like EMDR and helps the brain process the traumatic input. There are versions for mobile, switch, computer- just about every platform.

โ€œpolitical violenceโ€ is when violence is done to a politician. everything they cause is a different thing and you shouldnโ€™t worry about it

Look, I'm not saying that your writing should be 100% motivated by spite. But a little, like 10%, is really helpful for those days where all the other motivations aren't working.

As a 2000s kid I was introduced to the internet at its peak and to watch it deteriorate in my adulthood has been heartbreaking. Itโ€™s like another aspect of childhood nostalgia for me.
It's really weird to have been around when the internet first really started taking off and see it become this massive part of our daily lives and now to watch AI break it apart in real time. It's wild. Like I saw a star be born and turn into a black hole

I don't see the newest video games as just "content" every game i play and want to play is because i truly enjoy the games and want to support the devs. Always do your best to support indie games & just game creators in general

have you heard of video games? they're like normal games but told through the medium of video - and these days, many include audio too! if you'd like to play an audio/video game, they can be accessed from your home terminal

We shouldnโ€™t have to work in summer I just want to drink iced tea and do crosswords on the porch

Unironically want a soulslike where you have to befriend the giant monster bosses. But each one has a different personality. Different needs. Different problems. You have to figure out how to be a friend to them to bring peace to the land. Thatโ€™s all in the run/your build.
Soulslikes should have a pacifism run option where if you dodge enough of a bossโ€™ attacks they eventually just give up

Sudan is going through a humanitarian crisis. Millions of people have been displaced and thousands of people are going hungry. We put together 41 TTRPGs, Supplements, Zines and adventures from incredible game designers and writers raising money for Sudan Emergency Appeal.

I just saw an interview with a male fantasy author where he said "I guess I haven't really written female protagonists because it's not really something I feel like I can write from a place of knowledge." Reader, this man wrote a series with a whole ass ancient dragon as their protagonist. ๐Ÿ™„

Digital media has robbed us of something very very important. The joy and anticipation of driving home with the CD/Movie/Video game in the cellophane wrapper and the delight of peeling that mf'er off when you get home. The smell of printed ink in the insert or manual. The tactileness of it all!

We! Never! Stopped! Getting! COVID!!!! What the actual SHIT is this headline?????? There has never been a time, in the last 4.5 godforsaken years, when we didn't have people getting COVID!!!
A seasonal wave of #Covid is sweeping across the U.S., driven by the FLiRT variants, a trio of the latest #SARSCoV2 mutants making the rounds. So no, it's not your imagination. People are getting Covid again www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...
Yep, people are getting COVID againwww.seattletimes.com A seasonal COVID-19 wave appears to be underway with cases growing or likely growing in 39 states.
