Libraries! In Your Vicinity (Hopefully)! They have books, amongst other things!
Going outside (if you can)! If cars haven't ruined the landscape, you might just find your new favorite dog walking route!
Drawing! You suck? Try sucking in an original way! Do it for yourself! Or maybe someon you love! Once you're in the zone, you won't care about what the galleries and comment sections would think!

media.ccc.de! not just for computer stuff! wanna see interesting talks? they have them! I recommend: The Ultimate Gameboy Talk, How to dispose of a body, and Scuttlebutt
Bandcamp! Lots of DRM free music, regularly curated!
Webcomics! A genre I wish I could invest more time in, but I've invested enough of it into reading The Order Of The Stick to heartily recommend it to just about anyone! Drugs And Wires is also a good one!

sites to visit and things to do instead of #youtube:
listen to podcasts and audiodramas! your favorite podcast app probably has a search function already and there a lot of good podcast lists out there. I recommend Greater Boston as a good starter. My favorite way to listen is by downloading a bunch of episodes and taking a long walk.
Archive.org! has a lot of movies and just a lot of Stuff In General!

"We can put a man on the moon but we can't —"

No, I'm gonna stop you there. We put men in the moon at one point. We very much cannot do that right now, and frankly, we're much too fucked up to get it together enough for a repeat.

Besides, what the fuck's on the moon, anyway?

Ostensibly gendered insults for use with sex demons 

Are these original? Probably not.
Did I come up with myself? Yep!
Am I proud of them? Yeah, probably disappointingly so.

Other girls: make absolutely amazing electronics projects

I'd also like to remind you of this thing I made a few months ago

Other girls' bathrooms: Toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, maybe makeup

My bathroom: Circuit boards, soldering equipment, anti-static wristbands, personal protective equipment

dreams 

Honestly, I find it hard to buy into the whole "dreams are messages"/"dreams have meanings" bullshit. I have way too many dreams and my dreams are way too surreal to have any sort of deeper meaning. I mean come on, last night I dreamt I knocked out Canelo halfway through the fight, then proceeded to continue fighting him and used a bicycle to stop him from getting to me and knocking me out in the last round in order to fight him to a draw. What the hell kinda message or meaning is that?!?!

Show thread

dreams, lewd ment, subtoot, shitpost? 

"Dreams are messages!"

Yeah, I'm sure they are. So, uh, you wanna interpret the message I received last night, when I dreamed I was fighting Canelo Alvarez? Because I'd sure like to know what the hell that whole thing was about.

What about that dream I had a few years ago where I got fucked by my best friend in a china shop?

Also, what about the fact I have dreams almost every night? That sure is a lot of messages to be receiving. How much of that is spam?

oh, how i love my brain. someone posted a horrifying bit of hentai in a discord server i'm in, and i responded, letting them know how horrified i was, largely but not completely joking. they apologized and deleted it. now i feel bad. thanks, brain. worse yet, i don't know how to respond. i didn't intend for them to take it down, so "thanks" doesn't feel right, but i also don't feel like explaining this is a good response. uuuuuggggghhhh anxiety.

Selfie, ec 

So, a while back, I drew some transition goals for myself. I'm pleased to report decent process, even without having yet started HRT

Did someone say something about you that's pissing you off? Don't just get angry! Stop, take a deep breath, calm yourself down before you reach full-on anger mode, then re-read what they said, taking particular care not to take it personally just yet. It's possible you've misunderstood what they said, and there might be a much better way of responding than to get angry. It's possible that it is personal and they're saying what you thought they said, but don't just assume! Respond, don't react.

Disappointingly hot leftism take 

@auravulpes it's like a bandage, it ain't gonna fix the massive hole in your torso, but it's a good idea to put one on and try to stop much more damage from happening

Disappointingly hot leftism take 

Voting won't win any lasting structural changes, but it is the difference between life and death for anyone who isn't a straight, white, wealthy cis male. It's not meaningful in the long-term, but it is harm reduction and stops many of your potential allies from being killed.
