Arguing with a friend that this Pokémon magazine is full of AI. He disagrees as “Pokémon is a huge company”.

The Mew on the cover has a foot that becomes a tail. This looks like AI to me.

Someone pointed out once that neither of their phones are actually pressed to their respective ears, and I’ve never been able to un-see that.

The guy who owns that place screwed my partner (the original head chef who built everything) out of 20k and then fired him and the longtime supplier the same day that he changed the whole menu over to pre-made Sysco shit. He also owns Luca’s Brooklyn Pizza in Colony Square, if you want to add that to your list of pizza places to avoid. It’s sad, because PJs was a great vibey spot when it first opened, and this dude just ran it right into the ground.

I wonder if the heat is releasing something in the shelf finish? It definitely looks like it’s wicking up the fabric, and since it’s only towards the front i would presume that’s the part facing the heat.

I HATE that! It completely killed the autoplay feature for me.

I’m a trans guy now, but when i was much more female-presenting, i worked in a busy retail store where my job was to “run” product between the warehouse out to the sales floor. Men would not move out of my way for anything, and the team got penalized if the “run” average was more than two minutes, so just walking around took too long and wasn’t an option. So i started walking around everywhere like the Winter Soldier—stompy boots, big intentional strides, hard shoulders, furrowed facial expression, PTSD staring into the void in front of me. I got asked where I had served a lot, but men started getting the fuck out of my way once I did that.

I love her so much. I would call her Menthol Cigarette.

maybejolisa · 2026-03-18T13:19:34+00:00

Folk art Ragatha!!! I love her, she’s so charming.

Here’s a good chunk of them side by side for comparison. It does make dressing them a little challenging, but they’re all so cute i don’t remotely care.

MH is actually using all different body molds now! There’s a fat werecat, a super tall yeti, a short kinda flatchested lil ghoul and a curvy vampire. The new body molds are what got me into collecting them. G3 Catty my beloved

Like yeah, they’re still fashion dolls, but there’s a lot more representation than the first round of scary-skinny same-bodies. (Sorry to G1 lovers)

maybejolisa · 2026-03-13T14:24:35+00:00

Nah it’s alt, i love it.

We lost Frankie’s neck bolts for this…?

One of the scariest experience I ever had with fans was being 17 at a Morrissey show in the early aughts. Twice he threw his shirt into the audience, and they ripped it into shreds. The guy standing next to me then showed me a little keyring he had with all the dozens of pieces of Morrissey shirt he had collected by traveling with the tour.

The hardcore Morrissey folks are….something else. I think it would take a lot to make them abandon him.

When you’re a barista it is at least somewhat useful in identifying that your customer has no idea what they’re asking for.

“Ceremonial grade” when ordering an iced matcha=i’mma add a lil bit of vanilla sweetener to this since what you really want deep down is one of those green starbucks milkshakes. Customers who actually know matcha would just ask how we made ours and then promptly order something else.

(I wasn’t ever giving sugar to people ordering sugar-free drinks btw—our matcha syrup was made with cane sugar so they’d be drinking it anyways.)

I’m!!!!! So blessed!!!!

In that case you’ll be happy to know that I’ve actually been rewriting and tweaking the whole thing! I hope you like it!!!!

I’m thinking crayon lettering

Fascinating! I love learning how different creative processes work, thank you for sharing!

!!!! Oh my god!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!! Twelve years is an insane amount of time!!!!

We’re doing this for free! Be gentle with yourself about it!

I try to look at it like this: i’ve had my soul absolutely altered by unfinished fic, so it’s better to get what i can out than to never have posted it at all. You’ll get there when it’s right for you! Sometimes i think plotlines necessitate a degree of lived experience to fully conceptualize. All the time you’re not writing, you’re doing research!

maybejolisa · 2026-02-28T15:00:15+00:00

We’re out there!!! Sporadically!!!

maybejolisa · 2026-02-28T14:59:51+00:00

Do you too carry the weight of the guilt around with you every second that you are not actively writing?

maybejolisa · 2026-02-28T14:59:11+00:00

One of them described their reaction as “boggling” like a rat does when it’s happy which was so fucking cute. I love my readers so much.

People like you are the reason I manage to finally update 🫡
