Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

To finish this drawing while listening to this. I'm like weirdly obsessed with that song. The part that starts at 3:30 is such a vibe and it really gets me going!

I enjoyed painting the tomato sauce far more than I should've hehe

Play minecraft the entire weekend. I'm off for two weeks starting a week ago but today is the first day (of many now) I haven't had any obligations :)

A bit late, but I finally got a Switch and am working on Breath of the Wild. I plan on going through some of the wine, tea, and Belgian chocolates I got for xmas. :)

Some Top Golf and a game night with friends, then going to an immersive art exhibit with the family after gorging ourselves on sushi. Really looking forward to all of it.

Dunno, maybe write some stuff, abuse myself, watch some movies, play some games. And grocery shopping. Christmas wiped out my fridge.

Apparently my plans are to become very sick and try and sleep a lot while my sinuses attempt to kill me.

Previously my plans were a Hanukkah party on Sunday but that's looking unlikely now.

Going to see friends on Sunday. Rest of the time will be spent rotting.

My kids were admiring my childhood stocking on Chrusas morning. Their stockings are also handmade, but in a different style. So now we're talking about spending Saturday making stockings for met year that all match as a family.
