No pedestals, I swear.

Signal boosting, a good thread for creators, readers, and anyone considering become one of either of those.

In my game of Medieval Dynasty, I have 30-day seasons (the max). It's year 3, my heir is 2, and I'm currently engaged in total deforestation of the map, in support of a massive criss-crossed fencing system that makes hunting and dealing with bandits much easier.

Together, we wil:

I am, and have always been, a "garbage" scrounger. Started in my youth, when I started seeing Transformer toys in open garbage cans on my walk to school on garbage day. My poor neighbors' parents were *throwing out their toys*. No worries, toys. I got nice, safe, dry homes for you.

In my effort to understand the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom's "Notwithstanding clause", I looked up the definition of notwithstanding. 'Despite'? WTF kinda bullshit is this? It's "despite the existence of rules that say not to, I'mm'a pass this rights-abridging law". For real?

What's up, Jenny-verse creators! I'm working on a Jenny Everywhere picture, and I could use a couple other creators' Jennys for part of it. Kinda, looking into the distance and sees her sisters kinda deal. Anyone interested? I'd be re-drawing them in a DTIYS way, but I need volunteers.

Hi folks! Perhaps you've heard of my webcomic Moongazing, featuring a character with the odd name of Jenny Everywhere. Well, I didn't create her. Jenny is an open-source character, created in 2002 and used by a *bewildering* number of people. No, REALLY: wiki.jennyeverywhere.net/wiki/Jenny_E...

I've QA'd government software before, and it didn't look quite like this but it had this vibe, for sure. You have to respect software that has Getting The Job Done as it's only goal. Very cool.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck. Time to check in on all my friends employed there. Very concerned about what's going to happen with all the ethnic/cultural/ DEI groups and the people who depend on them.

No. Any younguns reading this: no. Under zero circumstances do you crunch. And you definitely do not consider joining any company with a job point like this.

Still a bit poorly, like the cool kids say. Did work on my Jenny Everywhere Day artwork, which will also go up in the shop, in some form. Sticker? I have those. Tshirt maybe? Mousepad?

I'll be honest this feels like Coulda Been A Spreadsheet.

Love movies with a litany of specific but potentially overlapping content warnings. Smoking, drinking, drugs, *and* substances? I'm sure they serve different people, though. Just interesting that there aren't combo terms for these.

Ooooh, excellent!

I need so many people to experience ELIZA as a comparison. (Also, I'm blocking all responses to Katie in the form of "yeah I hate that when I use ai" because... missing the point much?)

Get a read on, folks. I'm half a book ahead of you!

I cut Veritasium out when he started being pro-ai, and I *liked* Veritasium.

Apropos of nothing... is there more than the one media I know of where she does that?

My youngest watched ALIENS with me last week. You know what *that* means! She understands all my quotes from it now. So, what's your favorite ALIENS quote? Or scene, person, whatever.

This guy is one of my "I know he's around everywhere but I have no idea who he is". Those are are always weird, right? Anyways, sorry he sucks, Hank Green fans. Strike... actually I think he struck out before... is there more than one Green?

Currently in the wrapping-things-up phase of a short bout of illness. After which, hope to be able to get a drawing done for the upcoming Jenny Everywhere Day.

Watched 'Meet Joe Black'* last night. The corporate bad guy's plan? Buy a company and sell it off for parts at a profit. Isn't that what Richard Gere's company did in the beginning of Pretty Woman? Like, is it not well established that VC is evil? *Shut up.

I wonder who "they" are. Too late for that show but specific names to avoid would be nice.

Ah well. Strike ONE, yer out. Use AI, get boycotted. Hope your *skilled* coworkers can get work in future you HACKS!

This is the viewpoint that massively improved the way I understand and communicate with my oldest. I teach them to understand my way of speaking, moving, facial expressions, etc. And they teach me theirs.

Oh yeah, that reminds me I want to rewatch I Am Not Okay With This and curse the forces that limited it to one season.

Last chance to make guesses on the continuity error in the latest page of Moongazing: moongazing.neocities.org?pg=153#showC... I'm updating the corrected one tonight.

Hi folks! Nothing says 'unbridled joy' like a nice big cannonball splash! Check out this young elephant laughing in mid-jump: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1772... Available as a sticker, magnet, phone case, or pin! #jasonimusprimeart

Hi trans folks, Anyone know where I might find data on blood clot risks for teens receiving estrogen as HRT? And specifically how it compares to the same risk for cisgender girls/teens. Like, is the HRT regimen not aiming to create puberty-like conditions? Would the risks not be the same?
