Hi Zoey. Asking From A Place Of Ignorance, Could You Please Explain Why Threads Is Dogshit?

please tell me I'm not the only one who gets really fixated on a song but feels like actually bad when the song ends and you wish you could listen to it on loop without ending up hating it

I shared this weeks on Reddit but since that site is a wreck, I’m sharing over here too. I identified which (100% free!) cape pattern the illustrations of Vin and Kelsier on the stickers in the Mistborn swag box heavily reference! You’d obviously have to do a bunch of tweaks, but I would recognize this torso wrap and dart situation anywhere, so it’s a solid starting point!

Yet more reasons to vote for democracy rather than this anti information insanity

Daily Kos

The Atlantic: MAGA will end free weather reports and effectively dissolve the NWS and NOAA.

Did you have a newly reelected Trump administration ending your local weather forecasts on your Project 2025 bingo card? Well, they are plan

NOAA “should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories,” Project 2025 reads. The proposals roughly amount to two main avenues of attack. First, it suggests that the NWS should eliminate its public-facing forecasts, focus on data gathering, and otherwise “fully commercialize its forecasting operations,” which the authors of the plan imply will improve, not limit, forecasts for all Americans. Then, NOAA’s scientific-research arm, which studies things such as Arctic-ice dynamics and how greenhouse gases behave (and which the document calls “the source of much of NOAA’s climate alarmism”), should be aggressively shrunk. “The preponderance of its climate-change research should be disbanded,” the document says. It further notes that scientific agencies such as NOAA are “vulnerable to obstructionism of an Administration’s aims,” so appointees should be screened to ensure that their views are “wholly in sync” with the president’s.

Climate change is the single most important issue in the entirety of human history. One party wants to fight it. The other party wants to let the earth burn; in fact, they want to accelerate the fire.

You all know that one part in Well of Ascension where "Oreseur" jokes about eating Hammond like "One is, after all named "Ham"..."

Well that joke doesn't quite work when the book is translated to languages where ham doesn't have any food related meanings. So in the finnish translation the line goes like "I think he'd make a good ham-burger" which I honestly think is way funnier. Seriously hamburger? Are there even hamburgers in universe? Well it's not like impossible but honestly I can't picture it.

Everybody wish my cats a happy 15th birthday! They've been with me through some of the worst and hardest and lowest points of my life, and I hope they'll continue to be happy and healthy for more years to come! Everybody please wish my kitties a happy birthday!

Argh how am I even supposed to get a career? I do technician work on cars and have an electro-mechanical engineering associates but neither of those really feel like something I wanna do long term. Like how is one supposed to just. decide that. Especially at 18. And in the middle of a pandemic, which is when I was expected to. It doesn't help that there are so many things that sound like they would be fun and/or interesting but then most of them don't seem to pay very well (like landscaping or baking) or require a lot of math that I am subpar at (like all of the science that interests me) or I am just not very good at and feel like it would be very difficult to get into now (music, theater) (I know these still don't necessarily pay well either).

And like. maybe I could manage to get good enough at one of these to make a career out of it except I have the attention span of an actual gnat and I am really good at getting bored of things at top speed so what if I commit to something and then decide that it still isn't something I can to for 30+ years? I have found that the grass really is greener on the other side. But I have decided that I really don't want to work on cars for 33 more years so now I gotta find something else that is tolerable.

anyway end rant. thanks for reading, if anyone sees this. I just don't know what to do and need to put some thoughts out into the Void.

She had chosen to wear her vakama, the traditional Veden warrior’s clothing. It was similar to the Alethi takama, but the skirt was pleated instead of straight. She wore a loose matching coat with a tight vest and shirt beneath. The bright clothing featured vibrant blues embroidered over reds with gold woven between, and it had trim on the skirt.

Has anyone drawn Radiant in her vakama yet? Big miss if not (hint hint)

Also I love her so much:

She’d noticed the Alethi doing double takes—both for the variegated colors, and because she wore what was traditionally a man’s outfit. But a warrior was who she was, and Jah Keved was her heritage. She would convey both.
