That Presa mix intelligence strikes again - he figured the new boots out so fast there was much less comedic adjustment than we had hoped. Still got some very cute little bear waddles:

The Wrecking Crew is pretty meh overall, but the one highlight I gotta say is Miyavi playing the yakuza villain *way* hornier for Dave Bautista than expected. A+.

Wild how movie makers are still making cops the protagonist of any action flick like it's ever believable in this day and age especially. You expect us to buy Jason Momoa out here kicking ass like Jason Momoa does, when his character is just a rinkydink toddler-brained p.o.????? GURL.

I caved and ordered snow booties for Gustav Klimt, because nobody uses frickin pet-safe salt and it eats right through the layers of wax I'll put on his big ol feeties. So stay tuned for potential babybear bootie news.

Checking out a new-to-me mashup artist (I've deliberately stuck to known ones for ages bc reasons) and this particular mixtape has a track that mixes the aria 'L'amour est un oiseau rebelle'/'Habanera' from Bizet's opera Carmen with My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas, so like. Mmmph. 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 Instant sell.

I qualify for MA's free community college thing, and I want to look into taking courses for professional certification in medical coding. ....Soooo now I just need to convince my stupid brain that doing so won't end up like previous attempts at edu learning with me spiraling horribly into failure.

Catherine O’Hara gave us all so much. Her comedy inspired me. Her characters served as proxy mothers for many of us. All of our lives, and our culture more broadly, are better because of her life and work.

rip catherine o’hara i think of you anytime anyone pronounces a word funny

Gustav's breed results are back from the Basepaws DNA test, and apparently the reason I got the test so dang cheap is because it's way less precise/accurate than Embark or Wisdom - these results are basically just "He's a mastiff mix!". ....Thanks so much. Illuminating. 😒🔪

“short narrative stories” Because AI can’t handle continuity for more than a few seconds at a time, so they’ve had to piece this together out of tiny little clips. The resulting product will have so many cuts that it becomes the visual equivalent of jangling keys in front of a baby.

hey everyone! as mentioned before I'm doing a panel for Act of Grace about the first month of the OFMD fandom, and would like to collect some info from people who were there to use in the panel. forms.gle/rdwzbppXYrV1... (please reblog!)

I've had the mental echolalia of jaaaaarkko ruuuuutuuuu stuck in my brain for almost a week and im dying pls

ok who's got the stash of all the old (💀🔪 "old") Knob Hockey clips

He's sulking because I won't let him eat pillows.

Heyo Boston locals, boosting this Trashnothing post offering hearing aid batteries to anyone Dd/HoH who can use them. trashnothing.com/post/4643370...

The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

The one decent song I could listen to at the audio aisles of John's Christian Stores: Shackles by Mary Mary. WHICH IS STILL AND WILL ALWAYS BE A BOP.

Either the ICD-10 if we're talking any read, or They Who Do Not Grieve by Sia Figiel if we're talking reading by choice vs capitalism.

AWWWW YEEEEEEEEE Nobody 2 has my favorite favorite faaaavorite thing in media ever ever ever: Outnumbered small force gerry-rigs booby traps all over their chosen battle ground and totally destroys the overpowering forces. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 YAY.

Thanks to all for sharing & contributing to the families of the ICE victims. The 5 active fundraisers with the lowest totals increased by over $33K combined today. Victor Manuel Diaz's mom can bring her son home. Y'all are amazing. Thank you for being a light. Let's keep it going, and ABOLISH ICE!

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE: Renee Good: $1,499,580 Alex Pretti: $1,289,249 Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423 Parady La: $45,848 Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991 Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640 Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538 Geraldo Lunas: $2,260 Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

I pulled whatever muscle is in the ball of your thumb and now it hurts to do BASICALLY EVERYTHING and I'm already boooooooored

I keep seeing 'what can they do? they don't have the votes.' The answer is NOT THIS. It's actually better to NOTHING than to push this list of pathetic "reforms." It's better to do NOTHING than this.

He looks more Bullmastiff here than any other picture I've taken of him. Basepaws' DNA test was super cheap and apparently it's mainly because it's not as accurate, not as precise, and takes forever to return results - the last bit of which I can confirm because it's been almost TWO MONTHS 🔪🔪🔪

If Gustav wasn't so clearly anxious about the total change in landscape the snow has caused, I'd be SO tempted to offer our yard to anyone also going stir-crazy with their human child and just let the dog and kiddo wear each other out...

Trying to burn off the dog's energy inside since we can't go on our usual walks because snow. We are SO CLOSE to not being on speaking terms. (It's fine, he just can't settle on what he wants to do, has gone through every single toy he has, every puzzle I come up with, and refuses to nap. r.i.p.)

He's TRYING!

....sigh. can't bring this house anywhere.

Gus remains baffled and suspicious of this extra big snow. Fair enough, my guy, if it came up to my hips I would be too.

Similarly, a reminder for shoveling in the morning: TAKE IT SLOW. Lots of breaks with a warm water bottle to hydrate. Push/sweep or only lift multiple light loads vs fewer big heavy ones. Don't be one of the heart attack from shoveling snow statistics pls.

...Okay, I'll hand it to Boston just this one time. This is indeed a pretty decent snowstorm.

Oh my god it's so fucking good I cannot belieeeeeeeeve 🤤🤤🤤

The middle still needs some time but the edges are soooooooo yummy and come apart so easily and nommmmmmm this was such a good idea @thene.bsky.social and big thanks to @pearwaldorf.myatproto.social for the help/reassurance!

New England. You GOTTA shovel during the storm. Stop leaving it until it stops and you have a foot or more down to move! 3in/6in/9in/12in if you can, YOU'RE GONNA DIE TRYING TO GET IT ALL AFTER.

Honestly whoever it was that first thought up the tarp/blanket down on the steps before it snows trick has probably saved my damn life a hundred times over by now via avoiding falls on ice. 🫡 thank u fr ur service to my hips and kneecaps and spine brave soldier

I am hopefully making a pot roast despite only having the most basic of ingredients for it and ofc zero idea how to do anything so uh wish me luck

Anyone work in medical coding who wants to tell me your experience in it, what it's like day to day, pros/cons, etc?

Aw man. Is it just my old and garbage devices refusing to play this or is the Marty St Louis Naked Shootout all fucked up for everyone else too :( youtu.be/GI8C3b0AuwI

Okay now squeegee the smudge of strawman ragebait offfffffff your mind with a goosebear who has not quite figured out how to max the sunbeam by lying vertically in it, there you go, all better now.

This is a small immediate action you can take to support the businesses where the murder this morning happened. They were closed yesterday. Now they’re going to have to close today. Few of them can take multiple days without business.

Great example of the textbook infighting nonsense that drains our energy, straight from the CIA sabotage playbook (knowingly or not). 👍🏻

Yes. Knowing is enough. Adding to the outcry is enough. Pressuring your reps is enough. Telling your “not political” family & friends this happened, again, is enough. Supporting Minneapolis during this escalation of threat/action is enough.
