"Be careful around that stack of books, it's unstable."
"Stack? It's just one book."
"A book is never only just one book."
"What, all the possible readings of it might topple and fall on me?"

Five minutes. The timer on his wrist, counting down all his life to when he would meet his soul mate, had almost run out. Everyone said the timers could not be cheated, but maybe you could give fate a hint?
He entered the animal shelter.

@celesteh I just recently spent days, literally, researching all of the local officials and ballot propositions. It’s a freaking nightmare! My vote still feels uninformed because I just can’t find anything about the people running for, like, the local harbor board!

re: Politics
@WokenClick I was going to argue, but then I read the article and 100% agree with it.
I do think the image you pulled out isn't the key summary of that piece, though. Not sure what is, it's a good article that's hard to summarize in a soundbite...

Never forget: most of us have been poisoned by a toxic educational system that teaches us systematically that failing at a task or not knowing a correct answer is shameful.
There is no inherent shame in failure, in not knowing, or in being wrong, and we shouldn't actively shame others for it.
Get back up, learn something new, and try again.

@slightlyflightyone@vulpine.club do all the politicians wait until after the midterms to file? Or closer to primary time?

when I first ran D&D, my grandmother, who had bought fully into the IT'S SATANISM hype, insisted on sitting and watching the first session
about an hour in, she threw her hands up and yelled 'THIS IS JUST MATH' and stormed off

Sorry I took down Youtube everyone. I'm restarting the Docker container right now.
@jskellogg@tabletop.social @dapperbear are you sure the uni would be a noticeable negative? IMO, people would mostly skip over the university if its not some big name. If you skip it people will assume you have no degree.

Made my first very own #crochet pattern! And of course, it's as geeky as I am :p
I've always loved the way that ethanol looks like a little creature, so I made an amigurumi version - because why not? Meet Ethan, the cuddly creature that gets you drunk!
Should I continue doing this? There's loads of chemical compounds that have a fun structure to make :)
