Note to self to take my cat in to the vet asap because she is losing teeth. Found one in my bed. The only cats up here are 8 years, 5 years, and 3 years (all rounded up with birthdays before April, except the 3year old who's birthday is around July/August)

I think it's the 8 year old's tooth. She's my everything who I adopted for my 10th birthday.

So it seems like there are two possibilities:

One possibility is that the person who did the shooting changed his jacket right before the shooting- but into a different jacket that was remarkably similar (a puzzling choice! He brought two almost identical jackets with him? He changed his jacket to avoid detection into a jacket that looks very similar but has subtle differences? Puzzling!), shaved his unibrow (the better to shoot with, I guess?), then executed a plan so well thought out that the police had pretty much no leads, but was then caught (with both the murder weapon and a manifesto conveniently on his person! And the unibrow now regrown with long hairs) at a small town McDonalds five days later thanks to a random person recognizing him (and is a random McDonald's employee thinking you appear similar to a partial photo of a criminal enough to get you detained?)

OR

A police force with a budget bigger than many country's entire military, in a country notorious for having corrupt policemen who routinely lie and believe themselves to be above the law, realizing that it would be supremely embarrassing to have no leads, and likely facing immense political pressure to make sure the public doesn't think people can get away with this kind of crime, feeling motivated to peruse the many many records available to their giant counter-terrorism unit and using it to find someone who was in the vicinity, with an established online record of extremism, who has a jacket that is reasonably similar, and straight up planting some evidence on him so they can wrap this up with a neat bow and all of the ceo's who run the politicians who run our country can breathe easier?

As a random person on the Internet I will never find out the truth but some of this is not really passing the sniff test, and if there is one thing you can count on in this country it's that cops lie and cover their own asses. If he mysteriously dies in prison from "suicide" then we will know it's definitely not him

Edited to add: for those confused I do think it's possible Luigi is the guy from the hostel. It's just that based on the jacket and the eyebrows I'm not convinced he is the shooter. There was never anything solid linking the hostel to the shooting other than a similar (but actually different jacket)

Watching the Nutcracker live right now, and I am struck with such a profound sense of cupioromanticism. Typically, I am fine alone. I am aromantic and proud of it.

But watching people dance together, between the children, the parents, the grandparent couple, and most of all the Snowflakes and Clara and her Nutcracker, kind of moved me. A lot. A lot more than I expected.

Sometimes I want to be normal and be able to love and even just be near and experience physical contact with others. Doesn't make me feel broken, per say, but it makes me feel left out. And its not like I want to change who I am, or be anyone other than me, but sometimes I wish this intense fear and aversion to intimacy wasnt a necessary part of who I am.

the level of censorship around this man is ridiculous, what happened to free speech? It’s just his name.

u know that thing where an animals grow in a far off place and some idiot introduces him to a new habitat and it turns out its characteristics that help them in their own sometimes are too helpful in the new one and they become like an invasive species yeah thats the word i was missing anyway back to my point i think i saw a human version of that just now i was driving in tonights snow storm and i saw a man wearing a big ass cowboy hat to keep the snow off him and a bandit red bandana to keep it off his face and a big ass pancho to keep him warm and nice ass cowboy boots to keep his calves dry and he was prancing along while everyone on the road looked miserable and frozen solid and idk i guess the point im trying to make here is i feel like cowboys would have taken over russia if given the chance or something

“here’s what we know about the uhc shooter”

WRONG! He is a suspect and we should treat him as such. He should be treated as innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. He’s a person of interest not the killer. I don’t care what the media or authorities are saying, he’s a human being who deserves a fair trial and deserves to be treated as innocent until proven otherwise.

The problem with “senseless violence” narrative around the UnitedHealthcare CEO is that it ignores the inherent violence of the insurance industry. Denying someone lifesaving care is violence. Subjecting someone to drawn out periods of pain before treatment is violent. The industry is made up of millions of acts of violence everyday, with the CEO at the helm guiding it all. This is not unprovoked and it’s not an overreaction; it is just harder to ignore

This woman was arrested for WORDS.

We should rally for her as much as the guy who actually shot someone. Push back.

I HAVE OFFICIALLY EATEN UP

I got a 71/80 on my Psych final (C+ for the semester)

A 41/50 on my Econ final (still an F for the semester😓)

Geometry doesnt matter bc I already have the credits for it, but I DID get a 20/22 on the multiple choice half of it, and im SURE I ate up the written part

A 120/110 on my photo final (C for the semester)

And an F in Ceramics and an A+ for Culinary, neither of which had final tests due to the nature of the courses. Im getting a grade change for Ceramics later just because its a very time based class, and im extremely detail oriented.

And I just finished my English final, but im sure I did well, and I had a high enough grade anyways that even if I failed the final, I didnt fail the semester

Basically, I went from failing ALL my classes to only failing 1 and a half classes 😎

Shout the fuck out to my teachers for all giving me extra time on tests and assignments because they had a parent-teacher meeting about how bad im fucking up (despite the school denying that I even COULD have ADHD because im tooooo smart)
