"You posted something publicly, so I'm entitled to criticize you and then have an absolute meltdown when you don't back down on your statement, which was not addressed to me"

PSA for artists still using X. Stop announcing shit exclusively on X.
And if you still announce things on x, always include the link in every post, because users without x accounts can't see any posts without direct links, or even browse your profile to find *litterally anything else about you*.
Nobody wants to use that platform anymore and the only thing keeping most people I know there are announcements from creators, that's it.
Visibility on the platform has gotten so garbage, whenever someone posts something from x that doesn't include a direct link to the thing its talking about; we have to send out search parties to dig up the links so the announcement is actually announcing something its possible to *find.*
I don't like how my culture does apologies and forgiveness.
Time passing doesn't make up for harm.
Hollow words, without action to prevent recurrence, don’t demonstrate care.
We just pretend the bad thing didn't happen? And that it won't happen again?
Hoping my Austin Family are safe out there.

Finally made my first real build in Resonite. The creator jam theme was to make an environment and some type of game in three hours with a a team.
I didn't think I had any real skills in Resonite, but when I answered yes to "Can you pick up a rock?" I got put on our environmental team.
And I managed to build a volcano with dock! Yeah, they were pre-existing assets, but pushing around pre-existing assets was how I built most of my stuff in Second Life.
I'd only ever taken one other picture with the Creator Jam folks before, but I feel I earned my place in today's pic. Can you guess which one's me? Here's a hint: I'm one of the few not in fur....
There is enough sprironolactone in this vial to destroy the testosterone levels of an entire major city.
Be glad my demands are light for if they're not met by midnight....
There are some conversations I'm just too old for, and "social spending doesn't solve problems" is one of them. I've literally watched education, health care, housing, local news, and public transit be systemically defunded, dismantled, and neglected for most of my almost 47 years of life. *My* classrooms ballooned from 20 kids to 30, *my* band class, french immersion, enrichment programs were disrupted by cost-cutting measures, *my* tuition was 4x the tuition of students just 5 years older than me, lower-middle class kids of *my* generation and later are the ones working two or three precarious jobs (if we aren't already disabled by toxic workplaces) for half as much on a slow-cooking planet, watching the price of even the dilapidated shacks always shift just out of our reach while billionaires take pleasure cruises to outer space.
I am NOT a person to take "social spending doesn't do anything" when I saw just how much social cost-cutting fucking destroyed dreams for two-going-on-three generations, lol.
Indian Watermelon Juice! Usually I like to drink this when it's hot, but hot just isn't happening this month....

I've been without sodas for a few days now, mainly because it's hard to get my CO2 Cartridges replaced, and I ran out of canned soda a few days ago.
I'm remember one of the reasons I drink a lot of soda and lemon tea: If I don't food gives me a stomachache. Like any food. I'm guessing there's something about the extra acid in soda and lemon tea that helps with that.
This post brought to you by a breakfast stoamch ache.
