Anyways. Cyprus is first and I'm not into it. Sorry Cyprus.

I need Eurovision songs to be WEIRD AS HELL OKAY! We need to get a lot WEIRDER and a lot less mainstream!
I miss Europe <3
Staring at you with a lot of expectation, Israel.
Yeah nah. A bare-ass Australian did more political commentary a few years back at a Eurovision than Israel during warcrime atrocities. I was really hoping for something here. Well.
RUSSIA IS BRINGING THE WEIRD, YES
Yes yes, this slaps
I'm here for the Russian Feminist lady.
Serious question, are all the female performers sharing the same dress or something?
What's with the silver tassel thing this year?
Portugal, your stage is cute.
Serbia shaking it up with black tassels instead of silve ones.
I feel like I've seen the same performer 4 times already. EUROVISION IS ABOUT BEING WEIRD, COME ON.
At least Nikki is BRINGING THE TRUE GLAMOUR.
Did he say "As long as you whip me I won't get cold"????
Thanks to Greece for breaking the silver tassel spell.
Hold up....
Fine, I like Switzerland but so far Russia is CARRYING the crap out of this
Switzerland needs an epilepsy warning yo

I HAVE SECURED AN ICELAND SWEATER AND HAD TO ORDER MY WAY THROUGH ICELANDIC LANGUAGE BUT I GOT ONE!!!
France is very France about their France song.
France just went and decided to say "Voila" a bunch in their France song. People will get it.
I hope more people realize how much cultural diversity Europe actually has. Eurovision really helps with that.

Periodic reminder that whiteness as a monolithic concept is a white supremacist concept and Europe is much bigger than white supremacy wants you to think.
Norway, what happened?
Is this a low budget Lil Nas subversion?
Listen, I wasn't even planning to watch Eurovision but I'm having so much fun with this and y'all's responses :D

Nice to know I have followers everywhere and you are ready to be laughing about how lovingly silly this is with me :D
NETHERLANDS is BRINGING IT??
I like the energy, not gonna lie.
The background dancers made me a lot more bisexual somehow.
... Italy.

You had NO BUSINESS TO BE THIS SEXY
I've been LOCKED UP FOR A YEAR, I can not deal with this hotness.
Someone had to bring the kink I guess. We thank you for your service Italy.
Sweden, you cute, but you had to follow a tough act. Appreciate the energy tho.
Look, I just don't buy all the "Sexy girl dancing to dancy song" for Eurovision. You gotta bring MORE.
Flo Rida appears on stage.

American Twitter: WAIT I KNOW SOMEONE FINALLY
Ok let's get my top 5 down:

1. Germany (sorry, of course, I loved it)
2. Iceland
3. Italy (sorry, I'm horny)
4. Ukraine
5. Lithuania

Now everyone votes but it's really just politics, so....
While we wait for voting to come through:

This has been SO DELIGHTFUL and SO JOYFUL, I didn't even know I needed this! Thank you for all your lovely replies, I laughed so much!

I AM VERY PROUD OF GERMANY!
I will now re-listen to Ukraine because that one SLAPPED
Also please don't come here to tell me how much you hated Germany :( I really enjoyed it and maybe you could allow me like, 30 minutes of joy for my country?
No really, this is like, the most German thing I can think of. We can not manage to ever be proud of anything we do or represent.
It was a happy, lovingly gay song with a message. That's a wonderful thing to bring to Eurovision. I'm proud.
The voting expectation rules presented by Nikki made me laugh and I love it <3
Also important to note:
Eurovision is super wholesome and lovely BUT IT IS INHERENTLY POLITICAL! Voting is political and is heavily influenced by politics! Political COMMENTARY is part of the Eurovision fabric!
No YOU are re-watching the Italy performance because you're very bisexual today.
HUMAN PEOPLE COUNTDOWN WEIRDNESS
Petition to just replace all warmongering with song contests from now on.
Now onto the politics!

We're not listening to Israel tho. Ssssh.
What's wish Poland and the Zebra?
Well, so far everyone is wrong is all I can say.
Germany is being ROBBED!
NO I HATE IT
Toss the jury votes out, booo!
I AM NOT ENJOYING THIS
Well. Everyone hates us I guess. Did we not buy into enough fascism or why do y'all hate us? Pffff.

ROBBED!
OH SHIT BARBARA!
FRANCE????????????????

AUSTRALIA MADE ME SPIT OUT MY DRINK FOR REAL
ICELAND YES!!! SIR! I BOW TO YOU! ICELAND!

WHAT IS HAPPENING

You know, the reason a lot of us struggle to “go back to normal” as we’re getting to a point of more safety with covid is not “virtue signaling” or being addicted to the pandemic lifestyle, it’s because it’s traumatizing to reconcile that so many ppl didn’t care about our lives.
It’s not a question of suddenly not believing in science anymore or not wanting our lives back, it’s a question of the idea that we should just “go back to normal” as if everything we’ve been through, everything we sacrificed doesn’t matter and has no resolution.
We’ve lost friends and family to the virus. We’ve lost friends and family to the cruel conspiracy theories. We’ve watched horrible and dehumanizing things happen and learned that our neighbors would rather let us, our friends and family die than to wear a mask.

This happens to everyone, including all the people you feel like have "made it" in this and other industries.

Last year I bombed an interview for a director-level position that I would've really liked, but had some insecurities about. It showed and I didn't get it. *shrug*
I wasn't sure if I was ready for it myself, I was overwhelmed by the possibility because I didn't expect an offer like that, I was unsure how I would approach certain leadership challenges and did not meet expectations for a director in a male-dominated field. All fair.
I felt guilty about it for months, was afraid that I missed my only opportunity for a director position since women don't exactly get these handed to them all the time and I felt like "I let down my gender" which is a thing a lot of us deal with.
But this is normal. It happens.

I'm super proud of BBI for this code of conduct that includes all of our channels - yes, also social media! Shaping our communities requires strength and clarity and I think this is a great approach. I love that it includes things for what we WANT ppl to do.

Proud of you, BBI!
I'm personally a HUGE fan of including things we want people to DO in our communities, encouraging behaviour we want to see. A list of things NOT to do is not very effective.
"Don't be a jerk" is not a good directive. Pointing out behaviour to aim for and to reward is great.
I LOVE that it includes a line to expect to apologize if people were hurt - a really great thing to just encourage in people in any of our communities. Humility, care for one another, self-assessment - all great things to include in your community code of conduct.

So I’ve been thinking about EA putting a patent on an intricate dynamic difficulty system that in the patent refers to its use to be for player retention and while I don’t claim to know the inner workings of EA and its motivations, I wanted to take a stab at dissecting it: Thread
So from what I understand, the system in question has a way of analyzing player behavior from previous games in relation to a player’s predicted time spent in one play session and it uses that data to adjust difficulty dynamically.
I could be wrong in how it is used in the patent, but usually when we refer to player retention we use it to discuss overall retention of a player playing the game in recurring sessions and not within one play session. Retention data *usually* means if people come back to play.

You’d think after all these years and all the harassment I’d know better and actually trying to explain progressive concepts to bad actors, even if they follow you, will not work and you will be punished immediately with dozens of people harassing you.
Maybe one day I’ll learn.
This happens literally no matter what. Even if the person you talked to sees your point.
They WILL come after you, ESPECIALLY if you’re a woman.

My personal instinct is to not give up on people and have conversations about missteps but Twitter makes it literally impossible.
My only advice these days is this one: block literally every single bad actor even if they follow you because if you don’t and if you try to explain and discuss, you’ll potentially end up raining harassment on yourself and other people.

Hi. This is a weird tangent but I’m nervous about this so you’re coming on the journey with me of fighting my spider mite plant infestation by.. releasing... more mites into my plants. 😬 Image
I bought a plant from Facebook marketplace from a local and now almost all my plants have spider mites and it was a huge mistake so here we are.

Mites that eat other mites are my only hope.
It ... feels very counterintuitive, not gonna lie.
Also... it’s somewhat cruel? Once all the spider mites are gone, these mites here will die because they won’t have food.
But it is for the greater good I guess otherwise I will suffocate in spider mites. 🙃
