As part of her social media detox this girl on YouTube made herself do one hour of understimulating tasks every day and she just counted rice for 60 minutes straight because its no different from doomscrolling in terms of wasted time

OP deactivated, and some of the links were broken/marked unsafe by Firefox, so here's a new compilation post of Leslie Feinburg's (She/her, ze/hir, any pronouns) novels and essays on being transgender:

Update on the situation today

Thu, 16 Jan

After the ceasefire was announced here in Gaza as we saw in all the news agencies, joy and hope filled our souls again 🫂🙏

But unfortunately it was a tough night for us due to the intensification of the raids on our area.

We had started sleeping at 10:30 pm, but we woke up to the sound of the violent fire belt that shook the area, the house and the walls.

When I heard the sound, I don't know how I controlled myself and my nerves to protect my son Tim from the severity of the blow, as the huge windows of the house collapsed on us, and I don't know how I was able to pull Tim from under the large windows, but unfortunately his eye was injured and he started crying and screaming 😭😭

Imagine with me how a five-year-old child wakes up to this panic while he was sleeping and he was sharing the atmosphere of joy with us at the completion of the deal and he was saying to me: Mom, I want you to dress me in Eid clothes, it's over because the war is over 🥲🧸

This is the treacherous Tatar army that surprised us.

I've had enough of this nonsense and my heart no longer has the patience to see me and my family's tragedy, panic and fear of who I will lose!!

I will not get tired and I will not get bored of asking you for help. It's true that I was shy, but it's my right and the right of my child and my family to live in peace.

I don't want all of this to accompany me for life and I don't want these memories to be the only ones in my son's mind!! I won't put myself in anyone's shoes, but if I could help someone or a family, I would do what I can 🙏

Here we are on the verge of opening the crossing in the coming days and I haven't even reached the minimum donations that would allow me to travel to survive Each one of us needs about $5000 to get us to safety, we are now staying at a friends house and when the war is over they will go back to their house and we will go back to the street again, unless you help us with donations to get out of here

Remember well, I have no housing or anything left!!

My only chance for me, my child, and my family consisting of my son, husband, mother, father, and brothers is to travel because all our belongings were completely destroyed.

And your prayers for my child's recovery 🙏🧸 And please support my campaign and share it with your friends.

YES, please!! I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on this game, gollum, gollum!

Hey, when I was a kid a twenty-something with the cartoon-rotted mind of a rat-brained child, I used to read lots of screenshot-style Let's Plays. (for anyone unfamiliar with the format, it's like a video let's play with commentary, only instead of a video it's a bunch of images from the game and the commentary is in the form of text. Essentially it's like a very long, comprehensive, full-spoilers written review.) I had a grand time corrupting my mind with Darkseed and Harvester without having to actually play them.

Long have I considered making a screenshot let's play of my own, but did not encounter a game that was quite compelling enough. ahem. until now. thinking of doing a screenshot let's play of gollum game, because there's stuff in the game I'd love to scream into the void about but I wouldn't want to do a video commentary - one reason being because I am running the game on the minimum visual settings and it would look as bad as it can possibly look, another being that it's such an intensely dialog-heavy game that I would either be talking over things that you really should be hearing, or pausing the footage in order to talk & blowing up the video length to like 30 hours & creating an editing nightmare for myself.

if I did this it would be posted as pages on my blog like the fanfic image gallery- I would not be posting spoilery commentary on your dash, I would be posting links to where you can read the full installment, probably accompanied by spoiler-free doodles. (I know the game's been out for nearly three weeks and people who would really care about spoilers have had time to watch playthroughs, but I still don't want to post spoilers because what if people just haven't gotten around to watching it yet or something. it's not a massive game but it's also not something so short you can just catch up on it right away on a whim on your lunch break)

a screenshot let's play would be just enough of a time investment that i was sort of hoping someone would indicate a little bit of interest before I actually do anything. not a ton of interest- honestly one (1) like on this post would probably be enough to convince me. if you do not want me to do a screenshot lets play please do not interact with this post, ty

edit: I am hearing some interest so this is now an announcement post! It will be a while before I post anything though, I am going through a second playthrough first to explore dialog options, look for little things I missed & decide on: 1) which dialog choices I will want to make in my official playthrough 2) whether there's enough story divergence to be worth tentatively planning an abbreviated second run playthrough, or if I can cover the game adequately by just giving a brief aside/summary of what happens when you choose the other options if you know the answer to this pls dont tell me! i'm still enjoying exploring the game for myself

So I will probably not start posting my let's play for a few weeks, unless I get really sick of doing productive things & binge this whole game this weekend, which isn't an impossibility.
