Can't make a robot/Transformers version of Stray without including his close companion Dullahan, my "headless" skeleton from @leytale. A robot without a head is a bit awkward (brain modules and all that) so I gave him no face instead!
He's a minibot so he's a smoll.

i think climate change discourse often uncovers ways that people have trouble thinking about things on a certain scale… for example it feels counterintuitive to say that on the one hand, the US is iirc the second biggest emitter as a country and the biggest per capita (since number one is china whose population is famously quite large), and on the other, if we waved a magic wand tomorrow and the US went fully net zero, that would not really have a huge impact on the situation as a whole. but it’s true, because there are just that many more people living Not In The US. or like, it is both true that taylor swift traveling is probably responsible for more emissions in a year than you or i would be in several lifetimes, and that banning private jet use entirely in every single country in the world would be a drop in the bucket at best because it’s a relatively small subset of a relatively small fraction of global emissions. a lot of ostensibly justice-focused climate rhetoric has a very moralistic viewpoint on what we might call disproportionate emitters - which is why many people read a sentence like “taylor swift’s private jet use is mathematically negligible in the grand scheme of things” and assume it’s some kind of ethical or moral defense of taylor swift (or the US, or 1%, or whatever) - but i am starting to feel like “what we really need to do is hold the rich accountable” is just as much performative magical thinking as whatever alleged greenwashed bandaid someone is bringing it up to criticize, because saying it feels radical or serious but betrays a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of the actual scale of the problem.

Oh I got an update on my car from the auto shop! Apparently the issue was literally ONE little wire not working, which means it didn’t tell the car to turn on the fans or do other things to regulate the temperature in the engine, so THATS why it overheated every time I drove it. The mechanic is ordering another wire from a subaru dealership (when my stepdad replaced it when I first got the car, he used an off brand wire that barely worked, and then completely broke and became non functional a few weeks ago while driving) and they’re going to replace it, and I should have my car back and fully functional soon!

Electric cars are bad for the environment and it's fucking stupid as shit that people keep ignoring that. Making the gas powered pollution machine into a smart phone on wheels is still making it into a different, worse pollution machine. It just now includes even more child slavery, corporate surveillance, DRM, and taxing the poor.

why do disabled people have to pay for public transportation??? Most can't drive or don't own a car.
the veterans here (and even working army officers) get a discount on the ticket and the elderly don't pay, why do we have to be excluded???

thoughts about toji 🎤 what kind of bf/spouse do you think he'd be like?
toji is lame to me….hes kinda awkward at being loving but he’s actually quite doting when hes around you. does small acts of service that build up over time. if you ask him how toji getting up from the sofa so you can sweep lead to him picking it up with one hand so you can get underneath it he wouldn’t know what to tell you. he can’t really say he loves you - the word is still to heavy from the grief but he shows it a lot. pats your head and ties up your hair for you. makes you tea when you sound a little strained. skips betting on boats or horses and goes to the store to buy you the bodywash you like but are running out of
