A Compelling Unknown Force

hey fun fact, you can still get insomnia* when you have chronic fatigue

*not the same as having energy

Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”

BABIEEEESSSSS 💖

Y’know, I’ve started reading lorum ipsum a few times, but I’ve never finished it.

This loser behavior from the Bsky team is...well, making me feel sort of better about my own life I guess?

You deserve a break 💖

My hot take is that it's okay to hate objectively bad people (especially when the bar for "bad" is extremely high) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hearing you laugh like that makes my heart so happy, you really deserve that 💖💖

LLM-generated text not only can’t evaluate the real-world truth of a claim, but its existence makes it way harder for any of us humans to do that evaluation, because the ratio of text that accurately describes the real world as observed by humans to text that doesn’t is shifting rapidly.

As a Northeastern girl, I do think Midwesterners have accents, but they are also charming :) (I love accents.)

self care idea: run after that raccoon and ask him to befriend you

I mean, that *is* the only time they actually care...

These goobers are gonna be the death of us 💖💖💖

Oh man, do they still have the Leaves candle? That was my FAVORITE

sure, getting stuff done is great but have you ever embarked on three separate side quests instead

💖 That's a good idea. Have you ever done a BRCA gene test? That could theoretically also help you feel more at ease.

Whatever the answer is, we're here for you.

Yep, I had a similar situation (minus the reduction) -- mine was just a lump of dense tissue that was reportedly from drinking caffeine. Been there for over a decade now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if you see this post a monster

I'm aware I'm a freak, but I've had great success just putting leftover iced coffee in the fridge. The ice cubes stayed pretty well frozen!

Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?

The same thing we do every night, Pinky!

Yes! It doesn't seem hard at all to me? (And I have a disabling condition myself. I know it's not my fault, but I also can't disregard how it affects others.)

*sacrifice as in "I'll take any negative implications this might have because the people I hurt are valid, too," if that makes sense?

As someone who never feels disabled enough to even call herself that, I completely get where you're coming from. I'm used to fending for myself.

I've always come from a "I don't want to make anyone's day worse for having been in it" mindset, so to me an apology is a reasonable sacrifice* to make.

Solidarity from an editor 💖 Are you so tired? I'm so tired.

I do hear that concern. I see it as a "My disability is not my fault, but it is my responsibility" kind of thing—harm happened, so the person who caused it should apologize regardless of why it happened.

*I've got a disabling condition myself, fwiw

Why can empathy not be applied all around? He can sincerely apologize for causing harm, and also be given some grace because he can't control the harmful actions.

(I'm agreeing with you, btw!)
