When you realize you're going to turn into a monster and there's no way to stop it, what's the last thing you should do help others before you lose yourself for good? Asking for a friend...

Gather all of them together in a room to tell them dire information that will give them a chance to survive, only to change before you can get it out.

An AU without the war or yeerks or anything where they’re all safe happy and human and Tom’s trying to help Rachel and Marco set his brother up with Cassie

This is wonderful, and I don’t know how to write it because it feels like a complete story already!  Anyone else have thoughts?

"Here's a thing I asked a chatbot to write" is the new "let me tell you about this weird dream I had last night."

I'd really rather you wouldn't.

There's an interesting alchemy by which, for certain TTRPG fans, WotC's misbehavior makes it more moral to play D&D if you're broke.

The logic goes something like this: WotC is bad, and therefore it is good to steal from them. Indie creators are good, and therefore it is bad to steal from them. Therefore, if you don't have money to spend on games, it is moral to play D&D and immoral to play indie games.

For some reason, the fact that this unimpeachable logic only benefits WotC and only harms indie creators is not relevant.

otherwise interesting post ruined by the bold insistence that you can never accidentally abuse someone & that all abusive people are self-aware evil masterminds

I just discovered foodtimeline.org, which is exactly what it sounds like: centuries worth of information about FOOD.  If you are writing something historical and you want a starting point for figuring out what people should be eating, this might be a good place?

Thank you very much for including "wash your hands" in cooking instructions! It's important, and easy to just blur over!

how do you make the chicken wings with bbq sauce

I use an air fryer so I'll tell you, basically:

-Wash your hands.

-Put the chicken wings in a bowl.

-Add a good pinch of salt, another one of oregano, and then add some onion powder and black pepper.

-Add the bbq sauce (you can buy it or make it yourself) and with your CLEAN HANDS give the wings a little massage to make sure they are well covered with the sauce.

-Wash your hands again because now they're sticky with the sauce.

-Put them on the air fryer for twenty minutes* 200° (temperature and time can change depending on whether it's me or my sister making them, because she basically likes to eat carbon).

*half way, take them out to turn them around so they're cooked on both sides.

Anyway that's how I make them for me and my sister and dad lol. I think you can use an oven too

If you haven’t called Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, or Stripe yet, you really shouldn't feel guilty about it. For this to work, we need to keep up these calls for the long haul, and it's perfectly fine to take as much time as you need to get yourself feeling able to call in. You don't have to do everything at once. The fact that you haven't pushed yourself too hard means you're not burnt out on this effort, and if what you can manage is to call a single payment processor, that's one more than we would have had otherwise. It's not as bad as it seems, give it a try.

extremely funny to me that harley quinns real name is apparently harleen quinzel, a name that sounds less real that harley quinn. they should do that with more comic characters. batman real name batthew manning. daredevil real name darius devilson. doctor strange real name. well okay that one doesnt count.

Ask yourself: what’s good about this moment right now? Is the sun out? Can you hear birds? Are you drinking coffee? Can you smell freshly cut grass? Is your bed soft and warm? These little things are oh so precious and yet seem so arbitrary.

We live in the dumbest, lamest cyberpunk dystopia possible.

So LA has been — and continues to — protest against ICE. These protests haven’t gotten any smaller or lost any momentum, but social media wasn’t reflecting it.

TikTok users, realizing that the platform/other social media are censoring/deleting/shadowbanning these protest videos, decided to find a workaround.

They’re calling it the LA Music Festival. Ice detention centers and other protest locations are “stages.” The hottest band is Rage Against the Machine. “Here’s what gear you should be bringing to stay safe at the LA Music Festival.”

And it fucking worked.

TikTok has become a proving ground for a lot of new music, meaning lots of labels and organizations have lucrative deals with TikTok to promote their new artists and music festivals. So they absolutely cannot censor the words “music festival” or train the algorithm to ignore it, or they risk endangering that very important revenue.

So now protest videos are flooding feeds again, but it’s the LA 24/7 Music Festival. Truly an incredible timeline we’ve landed in.

So if Animorphs aliens were an established part of Star Wars, they would just be more aliens. That's cool, no complaints there.

But what if Animorphs aliens found themselves in the Star Wars galaxy? A yeerk fleet (with all their ally/slave races) falls through z-space and ends up in the Corellia system or something? And the Animorphs were there too because they were trying to destroy the fleet or whatever.

How do you think Animorphs aliens would fare in the Star Wars universe? Would Yeerks form an alliance with the Empire? Or would the Andalites? Lol Jedi Andalite? A Jedi with morphing powers? The Rebellion has to stop t he empire from stealing the morphing power?

I don't feel qualified to write this one. Does anyone else have thoughts?
