[Transcript: a gifset of Aza Holmes, played by Isabela Merced, saying, "There's this parasite. It only grows in the eyes of fish, but the only way it can reproduce is in the stomach of a bird. Once the parasite is ready to mate, the infected fish suddenly starts swimming to the surface of the water. The fish are literally trying to get themselves eaten by a bird. Eventually, they succeed. The parasite was in charge all along. Sometimes I feel like a fish. Not in control of my body. Not in control of my thoughts." /end transcript]

I welcome an actual image description by someone who has watched the movie, perhaps with information like who Aza is talking to offscreen and where they are.

Thoughts on Trump moving Obama's portrait at the White House to make way for his own

That's one of those stories that is simply not important when it comes to everything else that is happening right now with this Administration. Like it or not, petty as it may seem on the surface, for the next four years the White House is Trump's home and workplace and the President certainly has the right to decorate it however he wishes. His entire modus operandi since first running for President has been predicated upon establishing a personality cult that his Christian nationalist followers could use a vehicle for their own means. Of course he's going to put his portrait or photos in as many prominent places as he wants. At this point we should be grateful he hasn't just replaced the Presidential seal with that stupid glowering official photograph that he thinks makes him look so "strong".

Stories like the Obama portrait being moved (and my understanding is that it wasn't completely removed from the building -- it was moved to a different, less prominent location and replaced with the photograph of Trump following the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last year) just take up space that should be focused on REAL issues like the idiotic stop-and-start trade war(s) that seem designed largely to further destabilize the world, the growing Constitutional crises of the Executive Branch flat-out ignoring judicial decisions, the complete lack of the co-equal Legislative Branch in pushing back against executive overreach upsetting the Constitutional balance of power, and the sloppy decimation of vast aspects of the federal government by unelected, non-governmental outsiders who didn't have to be confirmed by the Senate (or even given traditional background checks) and operate with no oversight and/or transparency.

Impeaching judges and changing their constitutional authority just because the president doesn’t like their rulings is an abuse of power and must be stopped.

The words are surrounded by a red frame that matches the crow's eye and the word "entrail", whose color contrasts the other words in black. /end ID]

I took a look at two Reddit posts below (I'd post a full cite in case the URLs change or the links die but am not feeling well at the moment) and concluded the following:

You don't need a registry. Some couples set up a honeymoon fund or home improvement fund. Some guests like the feeling of helping pay for a cool experience or the convenience of a fund.

It depends on your guests. If you have traditionally-minded invitees or just people who prefer gifting physical items over gifting money, a registry may be a good idea anyway. I think at least two responses point out that if you don't set up a registry, you risk receiving random items, so it seems like they set up a small registry, so people can gift them something useful like new kitchen or household items to replace ones with wear and tear, nice sets of dishes for guests, luggage. One wedding my distant relatives attended had a vacuum and a sous vide kit on the registry.

The wording matters. An example from the second link: "bride and groom have been happily co-habiting for some years and have all the accoutrements for their domestic life. No gift is required or expected. Should you wish to generously contribute to their life together they would most graciously accept a donation to their honeymoon fund to kick off to their married life together. Regardless, bride and groom are so excited to share this day with you!"

I've been told I need to have a registry for my wedding, but I'm a full grown adult with most of the kitchen and household appliances I need and I like.... Wtf do I register for?? Any recs y'all??

Almost made the mistake of posting about wanting cereal but how ingesting milk rn would probably fuck me over, and in a rare moment of clarity realized this would only invite a host of well-meaning but annoying people to suggest dairy milk alternatives that either a) will kill me upon ingestion and I do mean that quite literally or b) require a trip to the grocery store which isn’t happening because it’s midnight or c) suggest water on my cornflakes and by all means, you do you, but absolutely not for me, thanks.

And then there’d be the bonus points people who’d get angry over dairy milk as a concept, but also the other people angry over the ecological ramifications of dairy milk alternatives.

So anyway, I saved us all some annoying bullshit and threw a frozen gluten free waffle in the oven 👍

Don't have the wherewithal for a proper image description, so: four photos of an orange cat wearing a collar with a bell, enjoying a nice day outdoors. The accompanying poem is presented as if someone had printed it on printer paper, cut up the lines, and glued them on each photo. Without the line breaks, they read: "You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don't know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it / You don't need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live. That is all most animals do." And that is all this description will do, too.
