nerdy realization, possibly tearjerking 

If anyone in the real world, past or present, could lift Mjolnir as depicted in Marvel's various properties?

I think Mr. Rogers could've. And I think he would've used it to build houses.

"We're passing through their magnetic field. All pilots bounce up and down in their seats."
"Lock S-foils in attack position. All wings report in."
"Red four, standing by."
"Red Skelton, standing by."
"Red October, standing by."
"Red Red Wine, standing by."
"Red five, standing by."

"And you know what Matron says about unfinished business."
"Don't?"
"Yes. Don't unfinished business."

#whyistayonmastodon sounds like an giant undecipherable mess of sounds.

#WhyIStayOnMastodon reads out "Why I Stay On Mastodon" 😄

(Reason #44 I stay here: my previous requests like this have been generally well-received, proving that most people are awesome.)

accessibility, autism, sensory differences, UK (+) 

A supermarket chain in the UK (Morrisons) is introducing 'Quieter Hours' in their stores.

For an hour every Saturday, the background music is turned off, other ambient sounds are made quieter and the lighting is dimmed to make shopping more comfortable for those on the autism spectrum.

FYI for those who use Patreon and haven't heard: all their transactions for this month are failing and triggering fraud flags. Whatever card you use, your bank will probably be calling to ask about it and may lock it til then.

I posted about my friend's situation in PA but it's become much more dire. Anyone in the harrisburg pa area that can help a trans girl find a place to live please contact me.

P.S. If you let me pack up and return that clothing that didn't fit right, I promise I'll order even more that won't fit right. I know how that perks you right up.

Dear Keet's Depression:

We've known each other since forever, and I'd like to think that we have a certain... mutual respect.

If you don't let me be interested enough in food to eat lunch, my blood sugar will crash and we'll end up asleep or catatonic or worse. (Yes, I know you can come up with worse.) This may sound acceptable, but consider: You can't fill me with existential dread at me if I'm unconscious.

Please stop wreaking havoc with my hunger signals.

Yours *sigh* Forever,
Keet

Racist/Transphobic Business at Mt. Baker Station 

If anyone's in south Seattle, avoid Compadre coffee. The white owner makes snide remarks about POC while her business is in a POC neighborhood. Adding to that, she's transphobic as hell and will forcefully deny the existence of fluid gender identity.

May it sink like the Titanic and reverse its attempted gentrification.

toot like an old 

The anxiety demon that lives inside my head keeps trying to tell me that I... "toot like an old". Something about how I use capital letters, punctuation, rare emoticons, and basically no emoji.

I don't put any stock in what my anxiety demon says – that asshole is a liar and a fraud – but it does make me think....

What all do you folks think is off or strange or dated in how you type when you toot?

They Live (1988) 

This film has the protagonist – who has just found out that the broken Reaganite capitalist nightmare is the result of widespread well-concealed alien control – carry a shotgun into a small convenience store (IIRC) and exclaim, "I am here to kick ass and chew bubblegum... and I'm all out of bubblegum."

Thirty years later, I still can't help but think of the missed opportunity for the cashier to respond dispassionately, "Candy and gum, second aisle."
