And the guy COULD have just plopped the plate down in front of cat like a boor, but no, no! Instead he engages kitty in play, says "here, o mighty hunter! you have waited, now pounce!" and the cat is like "YESSSSSS!". God, so smile-inducing

So I finally have resolved my feelings re: the United CEO shooting

Listen, I thought about it. I don't LIKE endorsing violence. I'm a victim of violence. But I'm also someone who has lived without health insurance, pre-obamacare. I am someone who has lived the reality of "You can only corner people so far before they either break down or have nothing to lose."

More and more, we're seeing young people galvanized to the latter, and while I could act like I'm shocked... I'm really not? Like, we've clearly entered the "And Find Out" portion of the programme.

Why, you stupid bastards?

"Oh wow! Herge's tintin has a digital tintin section! I wonder what ebooks are available--" *sees they are shilling TINTIN NFTs, immediately loses some 30 days off of life, has to physically force their soul back into their chest* You bastards. Already there's the whole history of racial insensitivity and ignorance and now this. You stupid bastards. No, I take it back; I have known noble bastards; wedlock is no guarantee of moral righteousness. You are insufferable. You deserve to be put UNDER the jail. First Betty boop and now fuckin' this.

A Holiday Recommendation!

So a few weeks ago, as part of an online animation club I'm part of (we watch films every Saturday), we started to break into the Holiday Films. And let me tell you, boys, girls, and other genders, when I say the head of the club exposed me to a JAW DROPPING musical, I mean that this streamer, who has thirty plus years of vocal and music training, acknowledged the skill and effort of the actors involved.

I nearly cried. Lemme tell you, I don't generally emotionally cry--social conditioning and certain hardships mean I only cry as a result of absolutely savage depression that I've since overcome, or as a result of physical pain--but this one damn put me to tears.

So, if you have Netflix, and you like musicals, or POC casts, or Christmas style movies, and you're sick of A Christmas Carol's 200+ hecking interpretations? Please, *please* check out Jingle Jangle. It's a steampunk holiday story about love and loss and creativity and it has singers that have more pipes than your local hardware store. It got no advertisement--because of course a drop-dead gorgeous POC casted musical with killer choreography got no advertisement--but it's SO GOOD, people. So, SO good. And it's only like three-ish years old. Please check out Jingle Jangle. Please. Please please.

a reminder that there are PEOPLE behind nsfw blogs and what they share online is a very small part of their lives. you do not know these people and they do not owe you sex, photos, messages, or a relationship. even if they have interacted with you in the past, they still don't owe you anything. posting nsfw content ≠ consent.

so this is a dumb and probably entitled question but what are some good entry level artists for someone who wants to expand their musical understanding to include rap

Can I say it's truly bonkers how people will be like scared of rap. Cause it's racism obviously but the level of exaggeration yknow like the extent of it all is Crazy. People will talk about it like This is some heavy stuff... & dude has like an obviously-for-show supervillain shtick. He's like sampling space ghost. What are you talking about

[othergolem]

Seriously do this. I have done this sort of thing in the past it is STRONK.

[othergolem]

living right now is extremely painful.

i'll try to do it anyway.

but it hurts.

few things that are worth doing are easy, and living on is one of them.

i'm scared for so many of my friends, my family members, people I know online, small businesses, and others.

i'm going to try to keep living, though it hurts.

The idea that only women can give birth is a misconception. Men can give birth too and that's a mrconception

I know this site is like 99.9% usamericans so all of the political posts are focused on the US election but I think it's important for everyone to know that the Australian Liberal Party (which is actually the conservative party) straight up missed the deadline to put in the nominations for local elections, which means there are a stack of electorates where there is no nominee for the major conservative party and it's the funniest thing that's happened in years.

being able to wear any killer outfit without a hint of shame or self-doubt is definitely the domain of the triforce of Courage, but he's not used to people commenting on it, I think

Hi there, EBT user of several years here. People like this are absolute not-yet-dead saints--as someone with several disabilities and a living situation that makes it hard for me to use an oven, stove top, or most cooking devices (Exceptions: Microwave, toaster, mini-fridge and freezer), the access to cooked, safe, hot meals cannot be overvalued. Have you ever walked over a mile to a supermarket, then desperately wondered if they'll have any deli food you can actually purchase? Cold foods, like deli salads, or pasta salads, or sides, half-off because they might soon approach their expiry date.

Have you ever, reader, desperately juggled if the $20.52 in the cash portion of your EBT account would withstand a single hot meal combo--knowing that no restaurant in your lived in area will accept EBT cash, and having to juggle the multiple trips you have remaining in that month with the mental calculus of how much you can afford each trip with how many calories they will provide, so you can live to walk another day? And I am *fortunate*. I have a stable, steady housing situation I *trust*, which took years for me to rebuild after several no-notice evictions from people I thought would never harm me in that way. There are countless people in even more extreme situations--people who can't take the Seven Entire Real Life Ass Years it took me to get my disability case won, and local courts overturned, because they DON'T have those advantages through the kindness of people I won't expose here.

We do not live in an ideal world. But people like this--people willing to recognize when a rule does not serve its intended purpose, people who know when it should be bent--make it a little better.

Solidarity

And possibly a treat, to get it to warm up to you. WHO'S A GOOD SPINDLY BOY? WHO DESERVES A NICE WARM PUPPER BED? YOU DO.

Poor thing's so thin you could compare it t' tissue paper.

The trouck, once on the memetic "critically endangered" list, is proven to be memetically reproducing, albeit incredibly slowly. Meme conservationalists are thrilled.
