Oh my god I just watched the RENT 30th anniversary concert livestream and it was incredible. Seeing the original cast and all of the different cast members from over the years. I sat there with my T gel on just overwhelmed by such powerful feelings. You can still watch it for 24 hours I think

I am once again asking you to identify the class in the subject

i don’t care at all how students address me in their emails but i do need them to tell me which class they’re emailing about 😭😭😭

I'll have to put that on the list after I've finished Ghost Concert which is about what happens when a society is banned from singing and all music is made by AI and also there are ghosts.

It’s incredible the things you don’t realize are sacred until you can no longer rely on them

New merch added to my laser store! I haven’t gotten photos of them yet/ my cats haven’t gotten to attack them yet but they can now be ordered. First, this snazzy button-down shirt! www.janelleshane.com/store/p/pew-...

“I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again.” More later, but my love for LOTR directly led to a Middle Earth invitation & I’m emotional.

I weep for humanity. No matter how overwhelmed and busy I am, I always have time to write one sentence about what makes my child special. FFS.

What game are you playing and on what difficulty may have healed me a little NGL

if you're at the top of your field and you don't even want to try anymore, then get out of the way and let someone else take the wheel for a change. jesus christ.

they're lesbians, harold

Lord Have Mercy as Researchers Create Walking Disembodied Hand Like That Little Guy From “The Addams Family”

Some black cat banter thanks to the #comictober prompt list #dnd #ttrpg #comics

three sources coming to the same conclusion :) :) :)

Some additional context from someone who gets regular emails from the NDP, one of their major talking points right now is about the federal government inviting big American companies to invest in or buy out Canadian companies and public institutions, so this is timely and on message for them

We’re proud to tell the stories we’re passionate about on our own terms. Designers like Arya craft games that speak to their values, and our union will empower us to create games that do good in the world. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

This whole reply chain omg. But mainly that I won't "just get over it" it will get worse until all of my problems are compounded and I collapse. Also more cool shirts in natural fibers please.

OpenAI says it will no longer train its AI models on the live internet, citing “significant risks”

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

The creation of some legendary armour and how it got into the dungeon - working off today’s DnDtober prompt ‘mimic.’ #dnd #gaming #ttrpg #comic

I've gotten a few of these and I'm not even a writer!

So what I'm hearing is that you need to replace all your PHP code with the number 4?

This also happens in Australia, and I usually call it the "snapback" effect. Here, compulsory voting results in a lot of electoral inertia - once we've voted in someone, we tend to keep doing so. It's extremely rare for a party to be kicked out the election after they got voted in.

It’s a lower numbered code key sir, but it checks out. I was about to clear them.

There is something so soul crushing about creating art that pushes the needle in the games industry, only to be thanked by using the capital gained from said art to push the ones who created it out of a job.

I preferred it to DA:Inquisition honestly. And Taash was a legend, I love them. I cared about all of the characters so much. Emmrich's arc was sensational.

It's like every day there is a headline "Techbro Creates Terrifying New Product that No-One Asked For, Valued at $1.2B"

I will never stop being mad at private equity

Go to your web host and update your php to 8.5 or higher. Most providers will allow you to do it yourself (I'm on bluehost). It takes just a few minutes. Do a backup first and then update then test your site. if you can't find where to do it contact support.

My uni says that they have air purification in the HVAC and that we are to keep our doors and windows closed for maximum efficacy. I can never feel any air movement coming from them and my repeated requests for a purifier have been denied, despite my health risks. So I bring a personal one now.

Bad indoor air can hurt people in a variety of ways but administrators don’t want to be responsible for another domain to think about. Free air filters are a threat to them. My local school district sold all their filters for a few dollars per. Guess the kids don’t need clean air anymore!
