  1. My Theory About The #Ballroom ...
    #BrennaPerez

    I have a theory about the ballroom. And it has to do with something Trump only recently revealed about it. #news #history #analysis #storytime #drama

  2. when I was a kid I remember there was this "Etiquette for Ladies" TV show that would come on after The Price is Right when I was at my nanny's (my mom's stepmom) house

    my weird little autistic trans girl brain treated that like gospel

    I tried so hard to be a perfect little lady

    and I couldn't figure out why it didn't make my mom happy

    she's always very lady-like, I thought she'd like it

    so I assumed I was just doing it wrong, or not good enough

    I tried even harder, and eventually that "be lady-like" became one of the self-critical voices in my head

    I still feel gross when I do something "unladylike" and it's weird

  3. CW: lots of bs, traumadumping

    Goddess help me, today was horrible

    I got to work and the girl before me did almost nothing before she left

    the customers were all being mean and angry

    the truck came in, a full day early, while I was the only one working

    I kept making dumb mistakes because I was overwhelmed

    a guy came in to work on the registers, and his voice sounded exactly like Krish, one of the men that assaulted me

    I was hiding in the back room crying every chance I got

    I was panicking and triggered for basically my entire shift

    everything hurts

    I'm exhausted but too adrenaline to rest

    my brain is on fire

    and I think my coworker who came in to relieve me was annoyed that I hadn't gotten more done

    but I'm listening to music from Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI and it's helping me calm down

    I have an appointment with my therapist on Tuesday

    "I'm alive, but I'm not well"

  4. Into the Woods - My Diagnosis Story

    > In a weird way, what helped me feel a little better was my ER doctor bluntly saying, "I don't know why they told you to come here." There was a pretty good reason, it turns out, but we're getting ahead of ourselves.

  6. Bonedread & Pendle

    Pendle Bonedread here and I am your expert on all things Grimhold and beyond. Welcome back. Today, I’m going to take to to a small village just outside Grimhold Marketplace. Pendle is a small village about two miles from the marketplace, past Ubbin Falls on the coast of Howling Cove. When you first get to the village, it doesn’t look like much, but if you know where to go, like I do, you’re in for a treat. A little Pendle history… I used to do a bit of trade when Pendle used to […]

  7. New blog post out now!
    I’m talking about the chess tournament I had today.
    Pretty important one for my chess club I may add.
    Sadly, we still lost in total but I managed to get a draw against a 1500+ as I found out later.

    More details about the game and what I think about it can be found there!

    Per calculations, my DWZ (official German Elo) should now be between 1200-1350.

  8. SCENE: INTERIOR, HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION OFFICE, RUN-DOWN. MONDAY MORNING.

    Executive Assistant: Hey, Brett?

    Director: Morning, Jennifer. What have you got for me?

    EA: Well, we have the opening weekend numbers.

    D: And?

    EA: They're ... mixed. There's some bright spots overseas. Australia did fifty.

    D: Fifty million?

    EA: Uh, no. Fifty. Fifty tickets.

    D: All weekend? The whole country?

    EA: Ya. I know.

    D: You said there were some bright spots, though?

    EA: That was a bright spot. It was worse elsewhere.

    D: How can it be worse than 50 tickets for a whole country?

    EA: Well, some open-source intelligence type people on the 'net proved that almost every single ticket sold in the UK was to a movie reviewer, because we wouldn't give them advanced access to it.

    D: "Almost"? So at least a few regular folks bought tickets?

    EA: ... maybe. Those were tickets where no-one showed at the theatre, so they couldn't determine if it was film critics or not.

    D: Damn. How were the reviews?

    EA: Uh, let's just say "not good" and leave it at that for a bit.

    D: ... Okay. Well, how about here at home? Surely we sold some tickets here, at least in MAGA states? What's the news here in the good ol' USA?

    EA: The Director's Guild took out a hit on you.

  9. It's not about how easy, or how simple, it's about the customer, but AI assistants lack any human compassion and the agents are no better, if you can get them. I'm just changing my address, I try an hour on hold, hang up, try a different day, a different way, a new number off their webpage to try..

    Rerouted to the same Virtual Assistant, constant loops.
    SAY how I can help you.
    LIVE AGENT, sure, I'll connect you
    you can do all your banking through the app, or your online RBC account, then it hangs up

    Five tries, one report to the Banking Ombudsman while on my fourth HOLD, and working my way to reviews and Better Business Bureau complaints
    Royal Banks is just wasting my time. They don't want to do their own jobs.
    If I was near a bank, I'd flip to CIBC Visa because RBC can't get it right.

  10. #Storytime again. #Banking #RBC #Visa COMPLAINTS #Thread
    When I was 17, I had a Royal Bank account, my military pay went directly in and usually 3 days before the end of the month. They were unkind to me, so I left them. But I have their VISA but no other RBC account . I don't do online banking or apps.

    There was no internet. I still wrote cheques & had a bankbook. I'm OK doing everything on an ATM machine but we don't have any banks or ATMs. I moved in May 2025, and just changed my mailing address today, through threats and hours of my time. I keep getting a virtual assistant telling me to use APP

    Back when I got my bills, they always included an envelope for the cheque payment and on the flap, a change of address. They don't send that anymore. I refuse to trust my banking to apps and internet, when every day it's another breach and no banker can explain the encryption they promise

    #ScreenTime Before #Bed Is Ruining Your Child’s #Sleep (Here’s What Parents Need to Know)

    by Don on February 26, 2025

    "Establishing a Screen-Free Bedtime Routine

    "Creating a peaceful bedtime routine doesn’t have to be complicated. Start by setting a consistent bedtime and work backward about 30-45 minutes to begin your routine. Replace screen activities with calming alternatives that help signal to your child’s body that it’s time to wind down.

    "Begin by dimming the lights throughout the house to support natural #melatonin production. Choose quiet activities like reading stories together, listening to #GentleMusic, or practicing simple #BreathingExercises. Many families find success with a warm #bath or shower, followed by putting on comfortable pajamas and brushing teeth.

    "Consider incorporating #mindful activities like #GentleStretching, #coloring, or #QuietPlay with #NonElectronicToys. Some children benefit from a brief #CuddleTime or sharing their favorite moments from the day. Keep a consistent order of activities to help your child feel secure and know what to expect.

    "Remember that transition times can be challenging. Give clear, gentle reminders about upcoming routine steps, and offer praise when your child follows along. If your child seems resistant, try making it fun by turning routine tasks into simple games or using visual schedules for younger children.

    "Store all devices in another room to avoid temptation, and make the bedroom a #ScreenFreeZone. This helps create a sleep-friendly environment and reinforces healthy boundaries around technology use."

  18. # Opsec Fail-Forward 🫣😋

    @catsalad just found a screenshot of that time I outed myself publicly...twice 🤣

    Context: Cat's initial post was public, so my replies were also public by default 😯 I thought these were DMs because I was half-awake and flustered 😳 This was the first time we had really spoken about anything, but it became quickly obvious that we both had already had crushes on the each other for some time 💘

    So, without further ado: "My Best OpSec Fails" aka "How I Met Cat". :neocat_fingerguns:
