I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

time for a dangerous question. what is your opinion on the Montreal-specific ban on turning right on a red light.

I mean if a significant enough chunk of your motor vehicle accidents are from one specific thing then I think it’s reasonable to place a ban on that thing

Nooo don’t respond to an unreasonable societal standard by pivoting hard in the exact opposite direction creating a different yet equally unreasonable standard you’re so sexy haha

cat laziness is so contagious. you'll see your cat flopped on its back in your bed a completely comfy cozy baby and you'll be like. you're right. you make a compelling argument.

Accidentally started rereading Northanger Abbey, and was sudden reminded all over again that Jane Austen is, in fact, fucking hilarious.

NA is her parody/satire of Gothic novels at the time, and she starts the book by choosing violence-- she describes the "tragedy" of the main character, Catherine Morland, a girl Determined to be a Heroine even though ALL ODDS are against her: she has a sane father who doesn't lock up his daughters, a healthy mother who didn't die in childbirth, no preternatural talent for music or drawing through which to reveal her Deepest Soul, and-- most shockingly of all-- absolutely zero love interests for whom she can wander the hills mourning their starcrossed fates until she wastes away from the sheer Sentimentality of it all.

But don't worry! She's got this FIGURED OUT. She KNOWS why she has not yet found her TRUE LOVE:

There was not one lord in the neighbourhood; no—not even a baronet. There was not one family among their acquaintance who had reared and supported a boy accidentally found at their door—not one young man whose origin was unknown. Her father had no ward, and the squire of the parish no children.

But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way.

(SPOILER: She is introduced to a mysterious young man who lives in an ABBEY, which everyone knows means he has a DEEPLY MYSTERIOUS SECRET PAST and is maybe a TRAGIC HERO or even a ROMANTIC MONSTER and either way this is IT this is Catherine's TIME TO SHINE she is going to get a good grade in DOOMED LOVE, a thing that is normal to want and--)

(...meanwhile Henry Tilney-- an ordinary guy who never expected "get cast as the Hero in some Grand Gothic Romance" to show up on his bingo card-- starts wondering when exactly he started finding Catherine's attempts to locate bloody daggers in his linen closet charming.)

My hobbies include reading, writing and doing neither of those things

I'd rather hang out with someone who keeps accidentally calling me slurs but treats me like a person, than someone who actively polices every word anyone says and acts like belonging to a marginalised group is my only redeeming quality as a person.

80% of roommate disputes can be solved or remediated with increased communication by everyone

10% of roommate disputes can be solved through compromise, changing life-long learned behaviors, and education

5% of roommate disputes can be solved by moving out

the remaining 5% of roommate disputes you are going to have to get a decent lawyer and abandon all previous moral convictions to destroy that person but not with your mind because you don’t want them to live rent free in there too

i made a thread on bsky because some rando on here got upset that I didn't censor my transgender OC'S deadname in a drawing depicting a flashback with his mom and like, i really do forget most people want their queer stories to be weirdly sanitized and unproblematic especially if it's made by an independent queer artist. it really does reek of entitlement and scrubbing off the lived experiences of people.

sorry y'all are raised on corporate mandated slop that only confirms queer characters through twitter or is riddle with queer/transmisogynistic tropes and stereotypes.

I keep meaning to design more men for the project I’m doing for uni and I keep accidentally designing lesbians instead

I thought I'd be able to quilt this myself on a regular sewing machine (because I have always done so before) in like a week... But having thoracic outlet syndrome and cubital tunnel means I can only quilt around like one or maybe two dinosaurs at a time/a day. I think this should've been the first time I paid someone with a quilting machine to quilt a work. Oh well, I've already started now. But this birthday present is going to be like a month late. 😔

Positive Note: look how cute it turned out!! 😍

maomao’s dedication to ignoring jinshi’s real identity is truly inspiring. the woman who has solved multiple murders based on minor clues in the environment keeps looking at every sign pointing to jinshi being royalty and going “damn, this could add up to something. good thing I can’t do math!”
