#the number is higher

[bright-eyes-strawberry-lies]

Ah jeez that's a big number. I wonder if I can get it to a thousand.

did one for piercings so let's do one for tattoos!

By the way, I would literally bet money that we're going to successfully keep global warming below 2 degrees celsius.

Would I bet my whole savings on it? No, not yet. But the way the data is trending, in two or three years, I very well might.

Hello Greer!

I’m a long-time foster who recently came into possession of half a litter of nine kittens— at eight weeks old they’re EXTREMELY neonatal (the biggest ones are around 20 ounces) and I suspect there are multiple fathers given the wide array of colors. I was wondering if you could guess what their dads looked like! You don’t have to, of course, it’s just idle curiosity on my part.

(Kittens from three weeks ago, with their mother.)

(Kittens from yesterday when we took our half of the litter).

There are two Siamese (one seal point, one tabby point), one black, one spotted tabby, one mackerel tabby, a third grey tabby whose markings I don’t know, and three solid greys.

We think there was at least two fathers, one to explain the coloration of the black kitten and one to explain the Siamese. Is it possible there was only one? Or even three?

(As a tax, here’s the smallest and most Belephegor-like kitten. At eight weeks old, I swear she felt like less than a pound! All the smallest ones are staying with their mom and the old foster.)

hmm.....there might just be the one father?

let's start with the mother: she's shorthaired, dilute black, agouti but carries the recessive for solid-coloured (since she has solid kittens), mackerel tabby but carries the recessive for classic tabby, non-pointed but carries point.

now if there's just the one father, he could be shorthaired, black but carries dilute, agouti but carries solid (OR just pure solid), ticked tabby but carries the recessive for classic tabby, non-pointed but carries pointing. in other words, a guy that looks like this:

or this:

HOWEVER there might also be the silver/inhibitor gene at play, given the unusual look of this kitten in the back.

though that could also be a fever-coat, which would mean the kitten will eventually grow out of it and look solid-coloured.

if the kitten does have a silver undercoat and ghost striping that doesn't fade with age, then it's a smoke (which is what silver is called in sold-coloured cats), which would mean the father is a silver ticked tabby:

or a black smoke, with a ticked ghost pattern:

the litter could all be explained by one father, but that doesn't mean there aren't multiple. in any case, they're a batch of very cute and colourful kittens!

It's still standing there, draped in white. I pass Grenfell every day, knowing there are most likely still bodies in there, burned into the structure, and unrecognisable.

Doc and Marty's friendship is so funny and unique because they are fundamentally, above all other things, best friends. Doc isn't really very paternal towards Marty, nor is he much more avuncular, he is only a mentor in the loosest sense of the term--the reason those two hang out is because they are close, would-die-for-each-other friends. Who just happen to be 17 and [truck rolls by quickly making a loud noise]

This gets very silly when you consider that Doc ends up having two kids of his own, which I think would really put into perspective that he encouraged Marty to do some absolutely insane things at a decidedly young age (even before all the time travel). It probably doesn't kick in until Jules hits 10 or 11 or so, because you know. Surely it's not the same with much younger kids, that must be why it feels different.

But as his oldest starts creeping closer and closer to the age Marty was when the two of them started hanging out, Doc definitely comes to the conclusion that George and Lorraine McFly would be within their rights to hunt him for sport.

“average u.s president is indicted for 2 felonies" factoid actualy just statistical error. average president indicted for 0 felonies. Crimes Donal, who consistently and obviously breaks the law and has been indicted for 91 felonies, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

(TL by Kimane)

According to chapter 1 of the This moment with you! event story, the Hatsune Miku version of Leo/need's debut song reached over 8 million views online. This is not exactly notable if we assume the song was uploaded on YouTube, however if we assume the song was uploaded on Nico Nico Douga (which is referenced in the event as Smile Douga) this is actually incredibly noteworthy.

Assuming Smile Douga's viewcounts reflect its real-life counterpart, the 8 million viewcount would put Leo/need's song in Smile Douga's Hall of Legends, and less than 2 million views away from the Hall of Myths, which as of posting only contains 24 songs, and only contained 11 songs at the end of 2022, the year this event is supposedly set in. As of posting, the Miku version of Leo/need's debut song would rank at least #39 on the site's most viewed Vocaloid songs, if not higher depending on the exact viewcount. Though again, if we take into account that this event is supposed to be set two years ago, it would rank much higher.

While the amount of time between the Parallel Harmonies ending, chapter 1 of The Night Sky We Saw That Day, Someday in the Distant Future (where L/n's vocaloid song had 1 million views), and chapter 1 of This moment with you! is unclear, it is fairly safe to assume that if Leo/need uploaded their song to Smile Douga, it is one of, if not, the fastest growing Vocaloid songs in the site's history.

im doing the notes thing

I doubt it'll work but I have also witnessed the power of Tumblr so...

100 notes: I'll paint my nails the trans flag colors

200: I'll buy a nonbinary pride moth bracelet (skyebluez.com)

250: I'll also buy a classic pride bracelet (I know it's not a lot but it's kinda all I can afford)

500: I'll find a way to go out in public wearing all three

900: I'll talk to a friend that I suspect is a system about our DID

1000: I've been wanting to stream on twitch but am insanely anxious about it so if we hit this I'll do it at least once

1500: I'll have y'all recommend stuff and I'll make a poll

"separatists want women to give up their chance at love" the assumption here is that men can genuinely love women (rather than their usefulness). if men were out here loving women up there'd be no need for feminism in the first place. please stop avoiding the issue.
