favourite hobbies that aren't like. screen-time related? 🩷

I'm a painter! Watercolor and acrylic. My mom steals my paintings (lovingly) to put them up around the house, so I see my own art a lot. Also, I loom-knit. I'm a big reader but that's mostly on a screen these days, I'm afraid. I make and alter my own clothes? If that counts? I have a shirt for my sister on my docket that I need to alter, but I keep putting it off. I'm going to my brother's in a week or so, so I definitely need to get that done, thank you for accidentally reminding me.

Detroit become human au?? 👀👀

I'm not gonna say that's the best choice, but it's the best choice because this fic lives rent free in my head

Y/N is a deviant android, and Felix has a heart of gold, so of course he's going to do everything he can to give her a fulfilling life

Felix rubbed his eyes as he padded out of his room, and you turned to look at him from where you were standing, sunlight streaming through the window and bathing you in a golden glow that made his heart rate pick up. You tipped your head.

"Your heart rate has risen suddenly," You stated quietly. "Are you feeling unwell?"

He cleared his throat and shook his head.

"No, I'm alright! Don't...worry about me, I'm fine." He smiled, and you nodded.

"If this continues, I'll have to recommend you return to the hospital in case you have more severe injuries than we thought." You nodded, returning to where you were looking out of the window. This view was different from what you had become accustomed to, it was a nice change. Much calmer than where you'd come from.

"Why should I go back to the hospital, I have you right here?" He laughed, and the LED on your temple flashed red as you processed the sound. Pretty.

"But I cannot-"

"I was joking, don't worry. If I think something is wrong, I'll see a doctor. I won't make you worry about me."

never let anyone tell you that trawling through mediocre victorian poetry isn't worth it. we just happened upon an absolute BANGER of a worm poem. go read it or else 🪱🪱🪱

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

No nuance allowed. Put your nuance in the tags, I just want a yes or no answer

No single line has ever wrecked me as hard as this one from the Good Place and I think about it constantly

Have you ever considered this is a really stupid layout to have when there’s no way to easily get your account back if you accidentally hit the wrong button???

me--- I mean my "YouSona" and Doe not knowing how to appear human and trying to mimic each other.

(he's not human, I'm autistic; I don't know he's not just another autist until he starts melting because I asked him to wash his hands before we started cooking together.)

bonus points if even in the Uncanny Valley we're the most freaky dudes around
