That's heartbreaking, I can't grasp what it must be like having to send your kids in to school when this is always a looming threat, the worst we have to worry about is bullying or them catching every flu/cold/nits doing the rounds, taking it for granted they are safe is something I need to be more thankful for

The hot an popular people keep taking over, so us weird nerds are losing territory.

But in all seriousness, fuck the trend of making everything enslaved to some bullshit algorithm. Fuck the corporate friendly piss-garbage.
If I hear the word "unalive" one more fucking time I might have a heart attack. Keep that bullshit on TikTok or whatever.
And also, fuck off with TikTok. I'm tired of it being synonymous with Gen Z.
And now every other website also has to be TikTok, so every other website also gets worse. Thanks, TikTok. Burn in Hell. 

Don't worry, they've banned tiktok.

I suffered with repeated infections for close to two years because of a botched root canal, my only advice is until you can get it sorted, warm salty water, and if you can't get it capped, get it pulled, nothing worth then the infections that come with that.

This wildfire season, I got myself an outdoor air quality sensor.  For smoke wafting from 100s of km away, the most interesting metric is PM2.5 (particulate matter under 2.5 micrometers in diameter).

As you'd expect, when the air is blue, and everyone's coughing and their eyes are burning, the reported PM2.5 is pretty high (100+ µg/m3).  And when the PM2.5 is down to 3 or 4 µg/m3, the air is very clear.

But then one's expectations fall apart.  Humidity doesn't actually improve the air quality--it just ameliorates the worst of the symptoms.  Rain generally doesn't settle the particulate matter out of the air.  And, horrifyingly, there's a wide range of unhealthy values that are not detectable to humans.

The WHO's guidelines are that the concentration should not exceed 5 on a yearly average, and shouldn't exceed a daily average of 15 for more than a few days a year.

Outside, right now, the air seems fresh and clear....and the sensor is reporting 29 µg/m3.  The air I breathe is shortening my life, and I can't do a damn thing about it.

hey I'm back guys.

the last oh, 2-3 years have been absolute dogshit. My mom has been falling prey to romance scams, has given thousands to this asshole, and our recent attempts to have her conserved have failed. This is before even touching on the SAGA of the emotional strain this whole thing has had on my immediate AND extended family. i am now looking to move out and leave her to her own devices ASAP.

The second time wasn't as bad for me but it lasted way longer, left me wrecked for weeks instead of a few days

I feel guilty as an artist. Once told a friend I was disappointed that the only real way to make a living as an artist is digital nsfw commissions because I enjoyed/am better at fine art, but got told that fine art never existed and that it was all holier-than-though "religious lady" paintings.
I know it's true and I'm being narcissistic or classist or whatever, but it still hurt me for some reason.
I just want to make art without being complicit to the system that's actively hurting it.
