A new Here's Moping from @chasebluestone.bsky.social and myself. Tarantino can go toe-to-toe with any director! #heresmoping #tarantino #comic #cartoon

I really do wish that non Native folks, and honestly, this goes double for y'all Canadians*, would stop speaking up in outrage on behalf of tribes way too many of y'all seem to know very little about and are speaking over. *This is specific cause there's a lot of ... pointing fingers with this.

If you need to know where my brain is, I can't stop watching two things. 1) an animated video of Japanese pickled vegetables doing aerobics. 2) a series of Chinese videos of a breakdancer dancing with a group of dudes with WAY too many filters and his "for legal reasons I'm backwards" current/ex gf

I haven't had Dunkin Donuts in two months and it's banal depressive cold brew is comforting in it's steadfast utilitarian caffeine transportation efficiency.

I'm reporting from Eastern Connecticut to tell you the Boys aren't sprouting the broccoli head haircut, but instead have a "the haircut Animal Crossing gives you when you haven't touched the game in months" but with some attempts at styling and product

"[Carriage Return] plays a convincing homosexual" in a review of a play I was in that got otherwise scathing reviews (this also wasn't meant to be a compliment but I still think it was funny cause I've never been not out)

In @hillarymonahan.bsky.social thread about crafting, I posted a toille (thank you, to the person letting me know that term!) of a coat I'm making. Well, I finished the coat!

In all honesty, I think it doesn't really matter who is calling themselves "Americans" because everyone's going to immediately start demanding to know where you ACTUALLY live, no matter if you're from Bogota, Mexico City, or Perth Amboy.

It's my fault for Discoursing™️on a Monday, but I feel like a lot of these conversations, especially when it's just assholes online (I'm one of them) seem to have the motivation of "I'm uncomfortable when we are not about me" as opposed to actually trying to right wrongs of the world.

One of my cast mates was trying on her costume (a business suit skirt) and I asked her if she had some sort of business women's lunch special and she stared at me like I had two heads.

Somehow today's priest, who was alive to see Moses come down from Mount Sinai, turned the homily from the "be like little children" to "Karl Marx has blood on his hands and America is a Judeo-Christian nation." There are times I go to church in other places and remember what drove me away

Maybe it's the boy scout and lifeguard in me but setting of a fireworks display that some dude brought to the beach while a LIGHTNING storm rolls in seems dumb.

For starters, I'm not here to dunk on anyone. I work in subsidized housing. It feels like everything is more expensive but the thing is, I can't tell *where* the magic Capitalism Fucked Us fix is. Mortgages are up*. Utilities cost more**. To take government funding, you need security guards.+

So, if Vyke got the closest to bring Elden Lord, that means he had at least two Great Runes. The demigods and legends and the like don't respawn. So who did he kill to get them and what happened after? Or WAS there some sort of reset? Like if we don't burn the Red tree will the demigods revive?

How do straight couples meet other people? I'm at a 4th of July party and know a handful of people but NO ONE is talking to anyone they don't know. Every queer/artsy party I've ever been to has everyone automatically introducing each other. The worst here are the straight guys who act like Mrs Astor

That feeling when you're touring a Stately Old Home and realize that the secret passages kids find in spooky old houses in a lot of kids literature were probably just ... servants passageways.

Not really? Maybe? I dunno. I live in NYC but the losers who have no other claim to fame other than being born in Midwood tell me I can't claim NYC. I was a kid in California and spent most of my growing up in Texas so I've always had to "explain" myself long before everyone needed 🇺🇸 hairshirts

YouTube is a really weird place cause it's giving me a suggestion of "TOTALLY NORMAL THINGS that are ILLEGAL in the US!" and the cover photo is a cartoon of someone driving, while both texting in one hand and holding a burger in the other.

One thing I think about a lot is how in the movie Bring It On, after the team shows up to regionals with a duplicate routine, Big Red yells at her that this season should have been an easy lay up. Yet, showing up with Sparky's routine involves them in a scandal that actually allows them to procede+

I can't tell if I like Jenna Coleman as an actor. I think she's very pretty. And I don't think she's bad as an actor...

Is there a way to block Screenrant from my existence? I don't need to see anymore headlines announcing new Elden Ring or ASOIAF media only to find it's a calendar or a mod or two "exciting" new classes when the basic game is ported to the Switch 2

It's hot enough that I don't want to put on my skincare, outside of sunscreen, because it's just gonna add a layer to sweat into my eyes. I need a walk in fridge so I can apply moisturizer during the summer.

"hey Google, call Aunt Becky" (Aunt Becky is literally the last person I called) "Sorry, there's no one in your contacts by that name" "Then what fucking use are you, loser, if you can't see the last fucking call?" "I won't be spoken to with profanity or abusive language" (Gemini ends)

I've been involved in a lot of community event stuff in various ways. I try to have an active social life. Yes, there's an aspect of this that is "capitalism" however you want to define that, but I also gotta say... lots of people don't want to go out. Take that however you will.+

I have no idea if this is I just got used to NYC or it's the GLP-1 I'm on but I'm sitting here in a house looking at the thermostat set at 73 thinking "I'm kinda chilly. Maybe I'll just turn this up" and feeling like Taylor Lorenz while setting it to 75.

I feel like wading into this, and I find this interesting and I don't mean this as a dunk to anyone involved. When we talk about real vs historical (I also put Arthur into this category), what's the difference between "pretty much everything is a latter adition" vs "didn't exist?"

look, I really should just mute that thread because it's annoying me, but in general, when we see behavior in other people that we don't like, why do so many of us just jump to doing the exact same thing in the opposite way? "Their ignorant tourists" vs "our civilized norms" or something like that.

There's a bar in NYC with a piano player who has a set ... speech? he gives when he's doing certain songs. One being I Am What I Am from La Cage. During this he talks about the beginnings of Broadway Cares, and how there are three bars in the Village that predate the Stonewall Riots BUT+

I'm really mad that no one's been making Bioshock Infinite GW statue comments here.

In Elden Ring, the spell Thops leaves behind mentions that one day this spell will found a new conspectus. Implying that we're seeing some sort of future ... Thing. There's an implication here that 1) Raya Lucaria exists well into the future 2) it has students. There's a weird thing of hope? there+

Y'all are gonna hate me. This is my PERSONAL rankings, mind you and not a definitive statement Mansfield Park Persuasion Pride and Prejudice Emma Northanger Abbey Sense and Sensibility

The Ultimate American Pig. Things found at the National State Fair and also at Folsom

Fanny Price is a character you have to grow into, I think. A similar example is when I first saw Ever After, I was always going "WHY DOESN'T DANIELLE JUST SHOVE THEM DOWN THE STAIRS!!" As an adult, I feel differently

Based on yesterday's Austen thread, I have a question. Who is the highest ranked family (with speaking roles? As in, not offhand mentioned being at Bath) in the main six Jane Austen novels? I'm assuming the Bertrams or the de Bourghs but I'm not sure if I'm missing something.

One more. The trend of casting Mary Bennet as "Hollywood Homely" misreads the text and is a failure of interpretation (No, I haven't seen The Other Bennet Sister yet. I will at some point when it's not just on Brit Box or whatever platform it's on that I don't have)

Buried in the larger discussion Matt's reply is from is someone going "Well, all these older people have a point, but the way they're talking about it is SO ANNOYING." I'm not trying to shit on that person, for one. I'm also not sure how to talk to/about/with them without them feeling annoyed+

Having breakfast with my aunt, one of her friends shows up. To her: Now, you must be older than I thought or he must be younger than he looks cause you look too young for that. (thanks...? Even the old lady at the other table was like "wtf?") My director: Grow out a beard cause you look youthful.

Once you, a Christian or someone raised it it, sit down to think about it and learn anything beyond the bog standard ideas Christianity has about the other faiths, the term Abrahamic makes no damn sense.

Curtis Sliwa loves parades so much he went to see the musical Parade and was disappointed there were none.

As much as watching people visit the US and find things they love turns me into Gladys Leeman preparing the Sarah Rose Presents The Mount Rose American Teen Princess Pageant, watching Americans fuck up fairy bread turns me into Parker Malloy

I have another one of my dumb questions. Has any politician, especially a Democrat, said or have a majority of people say "they're OWED a seat?" And, here, owed is in all caps because I see a difference between that and "why are you challenging THIS incumbent?" especially since that person is sat

"Kids, go play in the Silent Hill beach before the Sun Demon rises and scorches us all! Man we should have read the actual reviews on this AirBnB."

I need to go to bed but I got kinda wired staying up late sewing

DAMNIT!!! Below 54 or whatever it's called is doing a Scarlet Pimpernel concert and I won't be in town!!! @mynameispurpose.bsky.social

That stupid political quiz is the equivalent of those dumb HP quizzes that would ask you your favorite activity and the answers were "a) be cool b) be evil c) read d) have a mayo and cheese sandwich" Also, I got Pope Leo and I feel that's relatively spot on.

I actually have space to spread out and cut my fabric! What even is this luxury?!!

Caveats before the question/thread. 1) Username has been removed. I'm not trying to make fun of them. I agree this is a problem. 2) Please don't go looking for them, because of that. That being said, there's a bunch of OTHER caveats about location but I've been relatively car free in Houston.+

Another day, another Jane Austen adaptation notice that's not a good adaptation of Northanger Abbey or Mansfield Park.

wait, we are? Look, I realize I gotta stop assuming y'all (The broader y'all) are talking about me when y'all say Americans. My social group saw him as how quickly white people who are discriminated against can assimilate into white supremacy once given a chance to.
