bluesky honestly needs a "stuff you might have missed" feature that just surfaces stuff like posts you from when you were offline and posts that got buried in the middle of a thread

there's no good way to figure out what people two or three degrees removed from you are up to, and that's exactly what people used to use the algorithmic feed for on twitter

i think most of the problems people have with feeling isolated on bluesky would be fixed if the discover feed wasn't absolute total ass

"discovering this artist fully reconfigured my brain and helped me turn myself into a completely different person" type of situation

something you might not know about me: i have an inability to be normal about the band pigeon pit

Famously one of the things about genies is that they do go back in the bottle.

i still haven't figured out what a "girlfailure" is supposed to be

i had a similar experience with transmedicalism also when i was 17. i didn't really get freed up from it until the transmedicalism dam started to break societally (which happened to be about 3 or 4 years later). if the societal shift had taken longer i probably also would have taken longer to start

this is unfounded speculation based purely on chronic illness intuition but: i think ME/CFS and "burnout" are driven by the same underlying mechanisms, the only difference being the difficulty of recovery (ME/CFS is much harder to escape from due to some extra biological burden keeping it in place)

sorry did i just read the words "non-op" published in an article in the year 2026 😵‍💫?

love to log on here to once again see anyone who acknowledges the continued existence of the novel coronavirus called a delusional dead ender loser. leftists earnestly saying shit like “horseshoe theory” because they personally don’t want to feel guilty about covid

for a while it felt like that shit was gonna come crashing down any second

hey so what happened to the bubble part of the AI bubble

frankly can't stop thinking about this

previous names include

taylor
laurel
harper
claire

and probably a couple that i'm forgetting

also i really wanted it to be plant themed

went through like 6 or 7 names and eventually landed on something that had no ambiguous pronunciations and had zero gender ambiguity

"tumblr user mint-swirl: you’re mommy’s medium-sized twenty-seven year old. because that’s the age that you are that it says on your official governmental paperwork. be the same age for mommy. #agestagnation #sameage #nothingplay"

sort of like this except i'm actually 31 and 27 was the last time i was only kind of sick instead of life ruiningly sick

age regressing to 27

this edition of Ys has the coolest monospace font of all time

i saw this one recently actually

guys, i don't know how to tell you this, but if that genie can't be put back then we need to beat him to death with baseball bats

they're trying to eliminate 90% of white collar jobs and people are still saying shit like "can't put the genie back in the bottle"

i can't believe i spent eight years getting a degree in the field that's first on the chopping block for our nonconsensual technocratic new world order

where's the spray that attracts them instead

I'm trying to find this story I read a few years ago (Maritimes, pre-2000, I think?), wherein a neonazi group tried to establish themselves in a small town, but their little clubhouse was burned down, rebuilt, and burned down again so they gave up lmao. Long shot but hmu if you know

glad that my intuition isn't off base i guess lol

if music isn't going to have functional institutions of criticism and art history, i think it actually is up to artists to help trace those lineages

i think it would benefit the world if musical artists talked more explicitly about the works that inspire their music

it's not just tuning shit upward. you're changing the voicing
