Adding flavoring to mediocre coffee to mask its low quality is known as a Potemkin spice latte

"You two have been together for _how long?_" 

Nineteen years? Nineteen years!

I love you, @orrery – and every day, that love grows deeper and stronger. I'd make all the same promises again without a moment's hesitation. Let's keep doing what we do so well together!

Also: @kobunny, you're a fantastic friend, and I'm glad that this day also marks two years of you and Orrery being an item. I think we all make a good team together (that includes you, @IceWeasel!) so this is basically the best ever!

fake etymology 

spat, n. : (informal) A petty quarrel.

Origin: acronym for "Several People Are Typing." First known use: 2013, slack.com.

comfortably warm take, accessibility 

Fake HTML tags (e.g., <deadpan></deadpan>) can be incredibly useful in primarily text-based communication mediums, as they allow you to add a blatantly obvious "tone of voice" to what you're saying. For people with autism like myself, and those with similar processing quirks, that extra context data can sometimes be the difference between laughter and feeling like the butt of the joke.

Not sayin' you have to use 'em, but keep 'em in mind, hey? :thinkhappy: 💙

Also a periodic reminder that Planned Parenthood is a source of HRT in most places in the US, they are informed consent and use your preferred name and pronouns!

No one calls a podcast a "blindness-accessible article" but they ARE. Once you start reframing use-cases like this, the world of design opens up to you, instead of closing off. That is the power of accessibility.

Me, playing resource gathering games on weekends:
"Okay I need to pause time here so I can set up the most efficient gathering techniques to get this done as quickly as possible"

Me in real life on weekends:
*falls out of bed with a ✨paff✨at noon, makes a sound similar to the one Wall•E makes when they're low on battery, knocks phone to the floor when reaching for it*

“Only 170 days till I get to see you again.”

“Darling, I’m on Mars, remember? It's only 165 days for me.”

“What about Titan days? Then it's only 10.6!”

“You know, I like to think of it in Venus days. Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Pfff! In Venus days, this relationship is technically still a one night stand.”

seattle folks: if you see anything recruiting people to meetings for the “full service workers alliance” it’s an astroturf group trying to roll back secure scheduling laws and cut the minimum wage

Stages of planning a Tabletop Session: 

T- 7 Days: "I know pretty much what needs to happen here."
T- 3 Days: "Yup, got a lock on it."
T- 2 Days: "Shit this isn't going to work at all"
T- 24 Hours: "Okay, fixed."
T- 2 hours: "Aaaaaah what did I do help everything is going to burn down, fall over, and sink into the swamp"
T- 0:00:00 "Okay everybody, so go easy on me this time"
T+ 15 minutes: "Thank god, they're all still making butt jokes"
T+ 1 hour: "Yes, this is PERFECT, nailed it!"

What with the nature of Mastodon, I wonder how easy it would be to set up an instance that is an in-character RPG. Like, modern setting, Urban fantasy, sci-fi, horror, something like that, where the instance host is the GM.

Shit what Keet says 

What the autocorrect giveth,
The autocorrupt taketh away.
They are one and the same.
