There is something very upsetting about writing a fun little post, having it break containment, and then seeing an innocuous bit of your life trigger tagged over and over again. Even with all sympathy and understanding of why someone would find it upsetting, watching the cognitive dissonance of "oh, this is fun, I want this on my blog" matched with "this part of reality is so awful even the mention of it needs a warning label" is, unnerving. I'm not even sure how to articulate the mix of mild indignation and concern, but its like making a post about laundry and then having people tag it as #tw housework #tw chores and then busting out with a multi paragraph screed about the evils of manual labor. It seems like a joke, or maybe some exceptionally fragile weirdo, but then it just keeps happening.

The whole thing raises questions that would be rude to ask of any one individual. Do you just not do laundry? Cleaning of any kind? That means either, you reek, or someone does it for you so you never have to think about it. Until of course, I brought it up and it was such a departure from the norm that it needed a lable. And then of course, someone will mention that they have trauma about household chores from a lifetime of domestic slavery and they rely on content warnings such as #tw laundry. Which is terrible yes, but also not the issue at hand, because the vast majority of people trigger tagging housework are not forced into servitude and it's even a safe bet that most of them are doing their own laundry.

Just searched up “bathhouses” for reference pictures and the results automatically suggested “gay bathhouses” it isn’t exactly a surprise that google thinks I’m gay but it could at least wait until I type in the word “gay” in the query 😑

finished reading lesson 46 and... i think i'm just not gonna read the lessons until say lesson 50 is out, maybe the whole season. being up to date is nice, but i feel that reading the big story arcs together is best.

but it's mainly bc the lessons are really boring lmao.

#they're doing another “something's up with simeon” thing #and i hope that the seeds of doubt mammon planted about dia and barbatos actually go somewhere #i doubt it will since you don't even get to entertain his ideas #but it would be interesting #plus seeing them win constantly but not spend time with them is :/#esp since it's over a competition no one cares about since RAD is so underdeveloped #ntm #for how rushed the induvial storylines are the dialogue is so padded out #they don't even bother with a reunion #go straight into a new arc #but then rush through it #what gives?#from me #waba talk

Last time I checked my follower count a few months ago (at the behest of some poll) I had like two thousand followers and now I checked on a whim and have...more. I don't know what to make of that

Did this tonight instead of actually writing. Not 100% sold on the title yet. Also, high five to Poldark for giving us the kissy face images we need in the Jonsa fandom.

(photos of solar panel covered shade structures over parking lots. The lower right one is being cleaned by workers on a bucket crane using a ginormous hi-tech squeegie.)

Look, now that we've moved beyond the hypothetical, with "new normal" heat waves of 110° for several days in a row, shaded parking places are the best. And they power lots of recharging stations for our plug-ins and EVs .

#little california things #one of my nerdy hobbies #is watching my city becoming encrusted with these things year by year on google maps #like some kind of benevolent kudzu #the schools and colleges started it about ten years ago #and some hospitals and libraries #and now even a little day care center #to the point that when city hall's parking lot was just torn up and renovated to add more spaces #for its adjacent park and sports fields #they removed median strips with tall rows of trees that shaded the spaces #i was upset but figured it must be time for them to add solar panel parking shadss #and i was honestly shocked to see it was just to design a new layout to fit more cars #like yeas we needed that on game days #but how dare you take trees down #and nkt reduce carbon footpring #but accommodate its opposite?#this is the city that prides itself on sustainbility #even the dinky little day care center has solar parking #what gives?

the entrance to the basement is so hidden. it escapes me every time i try to visualise the floor plan. honestly you could remove it completely and have that just be a blank stretch of wall or a bigger bathroom and nothing would look that weird... hm, look at that. it's more of mike not belonging with this family

#st posting #stranger things #note to self #why do they have two rooms for sitting down to eat together #and two rooms for sitting down to spend family time together #as if they actually enjoy that #stop lying #four chairs in the back dining room when there are five wheelers #the grounded explanation is probably that holly's a baby and has a high chair somewhere but STILL #it's SUSPICIOUS #meanwhile the front dining room has SEVEN chairs #what gives?

Byker fanfic prewf that maike whealer is only interesting when ooc. Bish he not a player. He's barely a videogame player rn. Not even a guitar player. Role player yes. But that dnd stuff. So listen. N DND the equilibrium of the universe. Y'all hate him so much omg. Poor boy. He's only 14. So much pressure to live up to these expectations of which he's measuring up to NONE atm. I stand by Mike. #MicOnStandby
