As if it wasn’t enough for it to be Monday morning, some students are also facing their GSCE English paper today and the terror of the ‘unseen poem’.

Wishing them the very best of luck with it.

Idea for a rage room except instead of plates and broken electronics to smash it’s filled with hundreds of piñatas of the #Duolingo owl.

Does anyone have advice on cleaning a leather couch?

A dog snoozed on it (mud, slobber, fur), and I don't trust the broader internet to answer factual questions at the moment.

Edit: Okay, sounds like I'm going to the hardware store this afternoon, for leather cleaner / conditioner / wipes.

An email from a store I don't shop at.

I click here to unsubscribe.

The result is not that store's URL advising they will stop…

but rather a long fillable form from some who the fuck knows third party ad company.

I could uncheck a box to stop receiving that type of email…

but there was no option to “confirm" or "submit”; I had to “save profile.”

No. Fucking no.

Sometimes I’m amazed by how slow I am now.

How much time it takes me to do so little.

I try to remember that I'm recovering from burnout, and my previous pace was unsustainable and should not be the baseline.

And it's hard to find motivation in a world so bleak.

But still.

Okay, this is kinda long, but it's also really funny. Watch it or don't watch, it's fine, I care about you being entertained, but I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. Listen, it's just a guy giving a Snake legs, it's a totally normal affront to god.

I got a new plant while I was out.

Mood: seeing a video of a bear righting an orange traffic cone and, instead of being amused by how human the action is, being depressed by what our presence has done to wildlife and the barren landscape in which the bear walks.

I'd been wondering what the timeline for societal collapse would be.

“[T]he Government of Canada’s centre of excellence in foresight” suggests the 3- to 8-year range for things like “People cannot tell what is true and what is not” and “Biodiversity is lost and ecosystems collapse.”

It never ceases to amaze me how consistently allistic people fail to hear clear spoken words in favour of secret subtext.

If I want to play some media, the streaming website takes me to the "about” page.

If I want to learn about some media, the streaming website starts playing immediately.

I've been watching the #Dimension20 #FantasyHigh Junior Year series, even though I'm not an active D&D player. They're such good collaborative, imaginative players.

I was enjoying free clips on youtube but ended up subscribed to Dropout TV when I desperately needed more context for Baron from the Baronies (Riz Gukgak's romaence partner).

Finished the season, and then went back to ep1. Currently watching a bank manager explain penalty payouts from a trust fund to a registered nemesis. So good.

I'm curious, with respect to adult children who live within a reasonable drive of their parents, approximately how frequent visits are.

Please feel free to comment about cultural considerations, boundaries, etc.

It amuses me to write really intricate poetry and then assign each unit the blandest title possible.

Dinners that feel like a play,

where we’re all trapped in a small space for hours on end,

people talking loudly over each with strong undercurrents of resentment,

and no actual food.

Nikita (my cat) let me smother her with hugs and spoon her for about 30 minutes. She got all relaxed and fell asleep. She's never let me do that before. It ended when she got hungry. :blob_cat_melt_love:
