just had my first male-fail, i’m so happy!!

holiday season hadn’t been too kind to me and I’ve been skipping on the depression walks. but yesterday i managed to drag myself out for a quick walk in the dark.

it’s freaking cold; i put on a lot of layers, a beanie on my head, and a scarf around my neck and face. you could only see my eyes and my longish hair flowing from the sides of the beanie, which gave me a rather androgynous look.

as i was walking along the sidewalk, i approached a car trying to back out of a garage. there was someone outside directing the driver and they said something like “hang on, let the lady cross”

way to unintentionally make my entire year

You might want to look into Asahi Linux, it’s pretty cool! It runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs and it seems to work reasonably well for such a small project. I’ve never used it myself though, so ymmv.

love you all and hope you have a great day!!

Also the classic “do I want to be with them or do I want to be them?”

Took me way too long to discover gender envy

I’m 100% sure that everything on that site is AI generated, including the site itself. It has that vibecode stank

I don’t know how relatable this is to other L2 English speakers, but I used to truly despise this language. I hated it on principle. I hated what people used it for in the false name of “freedom”. I hated its inconsistencies and its spelling and its grammar. I hated that I was forced to learn it at a young age in order to be able to talk to other people that were forced to learn it in similar circumstances.

But I’ve come around in recent years. I realized that it’s just a language, after all. You can use it to create good and nice and beautiful things. I’d never really delved into English poetry though.

That is to say, thanks for posting this poem. I really dig it and I doubt I would’ve discovered it on my own.

Politicians got their money, billionaires got to screw over another public infrastructure project, and it’s not like any of them would be caught dead in a train. It’s probably a win in their books

Nice, I also really like the Deftones cover https://youtu.be/oiKM-NDx9Jw

When I was younger, maybe junior high, I got roped into watching my 3 month old niece while my sister got her hair done. So there I am, sitting in the waiting area of a hair salon with my niece, and who walks in but Linus Torvalds!

I was nervous as fuck, and just kept looking at him as he read a magazine and waited, but didn’t know what to say. Pretty soon though my niece started crying, and I’m trying to quiet her down because I didn’t want her to bother Linus, but she just wouldn’t stop. Pretty soon he gets up and walks over. He started running his hands through her hair and asking what was wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry or something. So, Linus put down his magazine, picked up my niece and lifted his shirt. He breast fed her right there in the middle of a hair salon. Chill guy, really nice about it.

Safari once again proves to be the most broken web browser

We should not allow /c/fakenews label itself “news”. Otherwise how am I to tell whether this is true or not?

I could’t find any decent translation so here’s my attempt

A mauve girl jumps off the apartment building and leaves behind
A streak of white sparks and a room in which we wait for her
From which we watch as the world swallows, the world swallows, the world swallows the world And leaves us without her, and leaves us without her…

My room is as dark as a heart
Wherever I throw, I keep hitting and breaking something
My room is as dark as a heart
Wherever I throw, I keep hitting…

Love lasts, so love matters
Love can’t see us, it doesn’t brake, it speeds up
And Natașa cut my safety belt
Natașa left without telling me who I am
Who am I? Who am I? Who am I? Who am…

With blood full of marjoram and heroin
A mauve girl waits for me in a car
Amnesiac and blameless
A new life waits under rust
With blood full of marjoram and heroin
A mauve girl waits for me naked/empty in a car
Amnesiac and blameless
A new life…

You told me to be brave…

A mauve girl jumps off the apartment building
A mauve girl jumps off the apartment building
A mauve girl jumps off the apartment building
And leaves nothing behind

Can confirm, I sometimes chug an energy drink to quiet my brain for a nap. I also don’t recommend anyone do this

that’s really pretty

Killing nazis is not only moral, but also funny

I find it so funny how Poland became one of the “good guys” so fast

More like 91 years too late, if you ask me.

That’s the point though, isn’t it? They clearly don’t want such customers.
