I mean, that is, except for Measurehead, who has abs and no body hair and is, canonically, non-horny.

Disco Elysium is on the opposite side of the scale from that marvel theory of “everyone is beautiful and no one is horny”. No one is beautiful* and everyone is horny. And honestly, I know which of the two I vastly prefer

* yes, they’re beautiful, but not in the flawless-skin, perfect abs, no-body-hair, immaculately-styled-wig, poreless skin Marvel™️ perfection way

being a pepper plant has to be so weird.

Imagine evolving capsaicin specifically to stop mammals from eating your fruits, and then a mammal comes along that not only will eat your fruits, but likes them specifically because of the capsaicin, so much that it starts using its weird paws to distribute and care for your seeds, which turns into a strong selective force that literally starts evolving you into producing MORE capsaicin and makes you a WAY more successful and wider ranged species than you ever were before

simply because this mammal LOVES Pain Chemical. that evolved specifically to produce pain in mammals. It's not that the capsaicin isn't WORKING. It's just that these freaks like it.

I've been really loving SugerPop Psychodrama. I just wanted to ask, since it's been 3 months since the last update: are you planning on finishing it?

YOU BET YOUR LIFE ON IT!

Things have been hard, rough, wonderful, exhausting, and Just Like A Lot. Right now, I'm extremely overworked at work, and I don't have mental capacity for much of anything. But! All that will end in about two weeks. And I just cannot wait to get back to a place where I have the capacity for writing for pleasure.

Thank you so much for asking. Sorry for the long pause. We will resume the blorbo therapy with great excitement soon.

They're so close! Only three days left!

DOGE just froze funding to vital Federal and Indigenous conservation programs devoted to supporting the very delicate and tenuous existence of the black-footed ferret.

I fell in love with these animals as a kid traveling to our National Parks. Their rarity and ferocity made me sharply aware, even as a child, of just how much of a responsibility we have toward our environment. I can't bear the thought of them being a fucking casualty of Trump and Musk.

Look at them! They do war dances.

Tumblr has decided that:

--cat looking at camera

--empty room

--little rabbit scritching its whiskers

--a scene from a PG movie from 1985

are mature content and must be kept from innocent eyes.

This is delightful.

But also: someone please introduce me to feminist lesbian pop music. I need this in my life.

I have had this exact combination stuck in my head for years. YEARS!

My dad is a musician. I asked him to mix the two songs together, hoping that hearing a full version would rid me of this horrible fate. He tried. He couldn't do it. The two just don't go together, beyond this one serendipitous line. He gave up, and in so doing left me cursed.

I only hope, someday, someone manages what my father could not. I hope someday to hear the song my brain insists must be.

soon may the wellerman come, your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

How is this a question? He's wearing tight-ass pants and a mesh shirt; he out-disco'd disco; he has two ears and a heart and deeply unresolved questions about his sexual identity. This man has got Dancing Queen tattooed on his soul.

Would Harrier "Harry" Du Bois form Disco Elysium listen to dancing queen by abba

Hey, stop scrolling for a minute. How are you doing? You okay? Come and sit down with me in the kitchen for a bit. It’s a warm day, the radio is playing all the oldies, the door is open and we can hear the birds. I’ll stick the kettle on. Do you take milk? Sugar? I’m baking some bread today, do you want to help? Or you can just sit and keep me company if you like. You can tell me everything that’s been going on. Or you could info dump about your favourite thing or tv show, I’d love to hear about the things you like. Or you can just sit at the table if you want, you could paint or draw or play animal crossing whilst I go about the kitchen and we can pass the time of day in contended quietness. Because you’re safe here. You can stay as long as you like and you can always come back. Everything will be okay, darling, you’ll see.

thinkin about a baby of my acquaintance & how when her parents are hanging out & chatting, she’ll almost fully participate in the conversation–politely watching who’s talking, saying something approx the same length & tone of what her parents are saying, occasionally using a questioning cadence & looking at someone specific for an answer, laughing when they laugh–doing everything except actually using any recognizable language

Anyone have any recommendations for a good production of Julius Caesar that's available to watch online?

Two weeks until the Ides of March!
