i got a 100% on this bostonian-to-english quiz but i grew up near boston….. i’m curious what you guys get. there’s a couple things in here i didn’t even know are regionalisms + a couple things i hadn’t heard before but could parse pretty easily from context. tag/reply with what you got and if you’re familiar with the area or not!
The ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything, is “what the fuck is 6 7”
The computer, sadly, misinterpreted the space as multiplication.
Truly the best possible outcome this post could’ve had
ID: hashtag screenshot saying: this is tragic I can’t send this to my brother cause he doesn’t know what hitchhiker’s guide is #and I can’t send it to my dad cause he doesn’t know what 6 7 is. might just throw it in the groupchat and let them explain it to each other
Now I’m curious how many other people are in the intersection of nerd spaces to get this joke.
I am whatever the opposite of a speed runner is. I am a game meanderer. I have to look at literally everything. I am overly cautious in every way. I forget to pause and wander away from the game. I take a minimum 7 hours to get through any given level. If you give me a timer I will cry.
“Not beating the ___ allegations” is such a ‘now’ turn of phrase, implying as it does a world where everyone’s behavior is always on literal trial by a guilt-presuming judge and jury that consists of anyone who happens to be paying attention.
Not beating the panopticon allegations
I happened to open up youtube unlogged in and the Algorithm decided I needed to see this, the trailer for Thai BL show “Cat for Cash”.
A man who inherits his dead mother’s cat cafe has an enemies to lovers arc with the man to whom he owes money to needed to keep the cafe open, who… well, I won’t spoil it.
It’s all very silly, idk if I will ever watch this show, but the trailer definitely brightened my morning.

I was tagged by @anghraine to do blog vs blogger with this picrew, which made me stop to really look at my blog for the first time in years, and thus go oh my god why does it look like that and fix it up a little.
The blue hair is aspirational, right now my real hair is an unfortunate half-bleached pepper-and-salt while I get up the energy.
Some might consider you an unlikely protagonist for a romance game. You have no mysterious childhood friends, no vanished memories, and not one dead parent to your name. But at seventeen you have finally been invited to your first season in Bath, and thus stand at the cusp of a great - and highly interactive - adventure.
What happiness lies before you! The happiness of a progress through a long suite of lofty rooms, exhibiting the remains of magnificent furniture, though now for many years deserted. The happiness of being stopped in your way along narrow, winding vaults, by a low, grated door.
Perhaps, even…love?
Will you follow the plot of the novel and be a woman charmed by the snarky priest Henry Tilney? Would you rather you dance with him as a cross dressing man? Or perhaps the melancholy artist Eleanor has caught your eye, and you wish to have no gender at all. The choice is yours!
I just posted a thread to my Bluesky account about why I think it’s extremely urgent for people to back up anything they still have on LiveJournal, however they do it. Thread starts here:
Please spread this far and wide so as many people see it as possible, because I really don’t see English-language LJ continuing in its present form for much longer, and I know some people may still have things they care about there. It doesn’t matter how you get it backed up, but it’s absolutely crunch time for getting it backed up.
