Did you know that in the eighties the program tasked with figuring out a way to mark nuclear dumping grounds for 10,000 years from now thought a good idea would be to genetically engineer cats so that they glowed in the presence of radioactivity?

Anyway the messages they came up with to include on their future apocalypse rosetta stone read like the most deeply existential slut shaming, and I have been feeling like shit, so it was a meaningful intersection.

@tfproxy I’ve made about a dozen of these and I used this pattern youtu.be/JR5yb4sFDTo

I sized mine up from her pattern a bit on all sides - maybe a quarter inch. There’s a bunch of articles on how to deal with glasses; this one has some pretty good suggestions:

(But honestly, I just wear contacts when going out and haven’t tried any of them)

@tfproxy omg they’re perfect little Dino tokens and I love them!!!

@kotep TLDR, IMO - right wingers and libertarians didn’t just not develop empathy, they completely skipped the stage of child development where you recognize other people are fully autonomous and also have an inner life.

pol 

@kotep I think this thought spiral stems from their complete inability to envision other people as, uh, people. Objective beauty is completely doable in a world where you’re the only person and everyone else is some Descartian thought experiment. The fact that they can’t understand or envision the inner workings of other people and the fact that their ideology prioritizes only themselves isn’t a coincidence. Sorry for blah blah - this is very similar to a convo I had earlier so I’m on it RN

horny things that are good 

‘I was a man once and now I’m not, oh god’ is intensely hot but it’s so so close to complete cheese that you have to be really Good to pull it off. The emotional / existential dilemmas of TF are where at least 55% of the boner is if I’m being honest (25% aesthetics, 20% weird body / junk, btw)

horny things that are good 

When your boyfriend, who is turning into a monster, is far enough along that he loses control of himself while you’re fucking and can’t vocalize w/ words. Afterwards he apologizes (he doesn’t need to, it’s hot) and has to have an extended angst about the ramifications of it

pol, choice, despair 

Seeing AMAB people smirk and sneer all day about how the Supreme Court is already lost so it doesn’t matter has just made me want to walk into the sea. I knew this was coming but it still got me.

daily life, virus stuff 

@fineursine I thought about making a cute cat face mask but I worried that’s too glib

daily life, virus stuff 

I went out to do the weekly grocery shop and wore a scarf, but I don’t think it did a good enough job. I’m gonna make some masks I think, since I have plenty of fabric quarters I bought for no reason. I’m not sure if I have elastic but I have some bias tape for ties.

@fineursine oh I don’t super love the rebrand and agree that they should have kept the black ring (and dropped the outline. I’d drop the letters before dropping the black ring; people know what the BMW logo means and leaning into ‘you already know’ is an extremely luxury brand strategy). That said rebrands at this level go through a zillion meetings and committees and is focus groups to the extent that the final result can hardly be described as having any artistic intent.

Perhaps the dumbest thing that made me angry today is the throwaway line in this article from a tech website that implies a multinational corporation would design their logo in fucking photoshop

Ring Fit 

@Balina the yoga ball fish have little fins on the bottom that wiggle helplessly when they fall backward and I love them

sex, my broke-ass brain (~-) 

@Balina I think it’s not super possible to like sex a ‘normal amount’ because no one agrees on what that is and the societal goal posts are so different depending on a lot of factors. I’m friends with an artist who is ace and they often talk about how they feel like an alien and not liking sex is weird but as a woman who likes sex ‘too much’ whose livelihood sometimes revolves around porn, I feel that same anger in the opposite direction.

fitness 

@tfproxy I run the story until I burn 150-200 calories, or more on the weekend when I have more time (typically 20-30 minutes of time on the clock, so 45 ish mins of actual time). On weekdays I grind the actual levels and avoid gyms and boss fights as much as I can since the levels burn more calories. On the weekend when I have more time to play I go back to old levels and complete missions and challenges to 100% them.

fitness 

@tfproxy wear shorts - the leg strap stays on your leg waaaaay better if you do. I’m still having a hard time getting it to register how well I’m doing squats, but I basically just avoid those for my attacks (the game uses squats as a traversal mechanic a lot in later levels so you’ll end up doing them regardless). Also I have monster quads so squats is the thing I feel like RF can help me the least with - I need to actually lift to do meaningful work there.

fitness 

@smallesttiger it’s been a fun thing to do every morning - it’s not like, an incredible workout but it makes it enough of a game that it’s easier to come back to than just trudging onto the elliptical or going downstairs to lift. I hadn’t been working out at all for a while so it’s definitely an ‘anything’s better than nothing’ scenario

fitness 

I’m like level 86 in ring fit and I finally got the goddamn jackknife pose (sit on your ass, raise your knees and your arms so you’re balanced and hold, RF calls this the ‘boat pose’) which is a godsend for ab stuff and is thankfully really useful in game. I’m feeling pretty good about my progress - I definitively look better and have lost at least some weight (also due to diet stuff). I’m still not bikini ready but I’m gonna wear it anyway because does anyone ever truly feel bikini ready
