You became the Adam you wanted to see in the world. XD

We made some absolutely nutty characters, that was rad.
Oh my god this goes SO hard, gorgeous work.
I’m so sorry that is such a feeling. 🫂
Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.
YESSS
Gonna have a stock market related panic attack if I don’t stop doomscrolling.
I don’t understand it, it stresses me out, but I sure inherited into it at the Worst Time and every decision I make related to it feels like the wrong one.
Fields of Mistria, save me from myself.
Anyway that’s two semi-serious and snarky/cynical threads in rapid succession which means it is time to stop posting because the internet is clearly testing me.
“We should share it anyway so they know it’s a bad idea!”
Ah yes, give the AI-generated misinformation the clicks it craves to show the corporations that do not care about those rumors or the response to them at all, that’ll definitely work.
LRP: I am begging everyone to read and evaluate stuff before they share it, ESPECIALLY if it plays directly to your own biases and assumptions.
“Well, it sounds like something they’d do!” is not a confirmation or a justification for sharing misinformation and propagating AI clickbait.
Hi hello just QRPing some info abt this coming in from the other site. This news is fake, it was a hallucination.
I’m not replying to the instance of this I saw directly because A) the person is going through it and I do not want to add to it, B) I do not think it was said with any ill intent, just ignorance of its connotations, and C) I am not inviting people to attack me in the name of defending them.
(I may be particularly sensitive to this because boy oh boy did I hear classmates talk about how Shylock’s forced conversion was a happy ending/too good an ending for him, and oh am I aware how language is shaped by prevailing beliefs resulting in language itself becoming othering.)
You can just say you’re owed retribution or justice or due repayment. You do not need to invoke, intentionally or otherwise, an antisemitic caricature steeped in antisemitic tropes from an antisemitic play, I promise.
It’s such small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but I do dearly wish people would stop referencing Shylock’s demand from The Merchant of Venice. Even as I recognize many people don’t know where it’s from or that it’s antisemitic, it sucks to see every time.
I should know less about terminally online people’s garbage hot takes, frankly. If you’re posting something just to stir up reactions I DO think you should actually share less!
A “hot take” for funsies that results in a group of people feeling like aliens or like they are always going to be seen as lesser/other is not, actually, a silly fun time.
You do not need to post, you can just shut up.
One thing I will never understand is the apparent impulse to go, “Everything is bad, so I’m going to kick up discourse about something just because I can and I’ll find it funny, even if it could make swaths of people feel worse/judged as a result. Aren’t I soooooo silly?”
Me, reflecting on how Daniel Radcliffe is a prototypical Jewish guy of my generation: Yeah, like, I wouldn’t be starstruck by him, he’s just a guy, I basically went to his bar mitzvah.
@solstrider.bsky.social, practically bursting out of the other room like the Kool-Aid man, mishearing: You WHAT?
I WILL ramble about her endlessly! It will happen!
(I have a character type: fiercely compassionate and empathetic, ready to do anything to protect others even if it endangers them. Pebli is probably the extreme case of my character type and I love her SO much, even if doing her voice sometimes actually hurt my throat because I pitched her SO high.)
LRP: please let my pixie Pebli stare at you, the world is full of horrors and she wants to give you strength to face them.
(All my D&D characters are personal power fantasies and its worth noting Pebli is so powerfully empathetic she became essentially the champion of her planet.)
a blinkie commission for Jeni of beautiful Pebli!!!

This is my comm! (I wish vgen would let me attach a bsky handle.) Thank you again so, so much! Looking at this brings me so much joy. 💜
And I would recommend everyone who can donate to MSF (Doctors Without Borders), one of few international medical orgs in Iran: doctorswithoutborders.org
The ICRC also works with Iran's Red Crescent and has been operating there since 1977: icrc.org
This is also the decision I’m grappling with.
oooh good to know! I’m not here long enough for it to really matter, but glad there are workarounds
I was so confused as to why I couldn’t click through some of my filters and then the realization dawned…!
… oh my god I can’t see a chunk of stuff on bsky because I’m in Ohio. Which has mandatory age verification.
This is some actual nonsense.
I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img
