People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.

I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say:

If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:

Mr Albus: imagine Sigil (our cat) is a corporation
Me: he’s not
Mr Albus: yes he fucking is. Anyway, imagine he is…

I asked several months ago, no answer, so I’m going to ask again: can someone please call CPS on the USA rn?

I’m starting to understand on an atomic level what Bilbo meant when he said he felt like butter scraped across too much bread.

I experienced this when I got mine done.

My educated guess is two fold: part of the mind body connection - where you can trick your brain/rest of your body into feeling symptoms by mimicking one and part you’re healing from trauma and that can include feeling cold

Theres a turd in the yard

And every time I open the trash I see it
And I think of how hard we tried to get you to not be so itchy
It must have been maddening.
Because nothing worked
Except now you’ll never be itchy again
Never scratch until you bleed again
Never annoy the whole house with your unending attempts to scratch

And it’s stupid because I always hated that you made so much waste when you were with us
But there is a turd in the yard
Nestled in the grass
That made your paws itch unbearably
And the cone you lived in the last few years is in the garbage
Where I am sure you wished it would have been

Theres a turd in the yard
It’s a little squished
Someone
Probably you with your grinch feet
Stepped in it.
But I’m not ready to pick it up
And toss it away
Because it might have been the last you made
Before we found you.
And we took you to the humane society
And they cremated you.

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

Headline in today's Guardian that reads "Reading and writing can lower dementia risk by almost 40 percent, study finds. Cognitive health in later life is 'strongly influenced' by lifelong exposure to intellectually stimulating environments, say researchers."

This is why you need to be reading books and writing your own emails, by the way. When you outsource your thinking abilities, you risk turning your brain into soup. Heavy dependence on AI has already been linked with severe cognitive decline. What you don’t use, you will lose.

My partners chapstick

Let’s see how long it takes for him to notice.

My husband has an emotional support chapstick. He carries it with him everywhere. I am, frankly, the third in this relationship he has with chapstick.

Which means one of my favorite things to do to show I love my husband is to steal it right from underneath his nose.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

If I pay for a streaming service I don’t want to see fucking ads in the middle of my shows. How is it that the only respectable services I have right now are Netflix and Shudder?

(by this criteria only)

I can’t say I’m making wet bone bag sounds but I definitely have to do a lot of adjusting and frequently have to pop joints to be any kind of comfortable

Is there a Spotify alternative that lets you block/opt out of ever playing certain artists?

I have an immense and burning hatred of a few popular bands/artists for various reasons and getting into a playlist that has them ruins my day.

edit of Ed and Stede from our flag means death with ed standing with a hand raised against a wall and the other on the hip and stede looking surprised. there's a con o'neill edited hugging Ed's forearm.

this is how they work together. Stede will understand.

If Izzy not meant to be kissed on the forehead by Stede, why forehead kissing height for Stede?

please remember: part of why anti-ICE movements across the country are able to function as well as they are is because they are able to get the news out and get support via the internet

therefore, doing your part to pressure your reps to defend internet speech is one (of many) ways to help!

I love him completely. He’s my soul-kitty. 🐈‍⬛

stede bonnet standing on the beach with his slutty white shirt that izzy tore to shreds to reveal his tits (our flag means death s1e2)

gravy basket ed teach breasting boobily in that tight raggedy black shirt with his little corsage of sorts to be a good innkeeper (our flag means death s2e3)

izzy hands standing shirtless below deck on the revenge, drenched in sweat, with the sunlight shining through the deck onto his tits as he gives stede the sluttiest sassiest look possible (our flag means death s2e5)

may i offer you some tits in this trying time

My most handsome boy, black cat with purple collar and green eyes looking out a window.

3. Yelling. A lot of it. It’s his favorite thing to go into any room and yell.
4. Living with a catnip addict. He wants it daily. Twice daily if possible. His favorite toy is a catnip stuffed banana.

Things I didn’t realize I was signing up for when I adopted my 3 legged cat:
1. He would insist on coming into the bathroom with me and demand I hold onto him so he doesn’t fall over while aggressively rubbing his face against my face.
2. Drooling and his residual nub twitching when getting pet

Echolocation but it’s clapping cheeks. - a real thing Mr Albus said to me today.

Yeah, I recommend not using the patreon apple app to join. Just go on the website, it's 1. cheaper for YOU to support your favorite creatures and 2. All the money you give goes to the creator.
