Luke, 25 (he/him). My new thing is working on a game. We’ll see how long that lasts!
Also - oddly specific, but does anyone know of any instances oriented towards baking/cooking? It's a big part of my life!

@secretpeej @herzleid looking back, I don't mind at all, though I sometimes feel odd about what other people say. I felt like it actually made Christmas mean more to me, because if I got a gift I loved but hadn't asked for I knew it meant my mom and dad had been paying attention to me and picked it anyways, not that an elf man magically knew, and that made me feel special and loved. They would still write fun "from" on the gift tags, though - like if I got a shirt with a dog on it, they would write it was "from" the dog. That's a tradition I really like!

People have been very mean to my sister about her choice not to raise her kids to believe in Santa, but our family didn't do it and neither did her husband's (he's from Peru, where it's less a thing.) So I do think that seems rough.

When you were a little kid, did your parents act like Santa was real?

People think my family is nuts for not having Santa.

As a gift for my younger sibling's birthday, I'm putting together a small fabric goods repair kit (I often patch and fix stuff for them, and they've expressed an interest in learning for themselves). Off the top of my head, I've picked out these items:
- A speedweve-type darning loom, plus darning needle and some floss
- Sewing needles and thread
- Thread scissors
- Threading tools
- Some small pieces from my patch pile

Does anyone else have any items they recommend?

buys a videonow color fx and rips the Wrathgate cinematic from World of Warcraft circa 2008 to a CD to play in it to cope
Disney "Renaissance" movies want what Naruto Numb AMVs have tbh

I've added a new strategy to my color-mapping tool!

In some cases, the old strategy performs better, but in others it performs quite badly. (In this case, it's a huge improvement! Old left, new right.)

The woman who intentionally conspired to have a false search warrant based on fake evidence written up for Breonna Taylor, leading to her state-sanctioned murder, has pled guilty. She'll spend no more than five years in prison for essentially conspiring to murder an innocent Black woman.

It's more than most of these fuckers get, but Jesus Christ, you get that much for having 20g of weed in Florida.

Apparently some lost media fans found the Saban Sailor Moon pilot!
@human_dude haha, thanks! I don't change avatars anymore for that reason, but I'm trying to pick things that I relate to more than random photos that were on my phone when I made my accounts...
