I watched Frankenstein (2025) and booed at the screen during the credits.

Just a lot of deep, heavy sighs today. My bed was so warm and comfy this morning.

Hello, I would like to share with you these two not-so-normal nautili that I drew. 😁

happy exploding whale day to everyone who celebrates!

Saying “reading books in public is performative” is a very quick and simple way to communicate to me that you are a stupid little pig I do not need to listen to and in that sense I appreciate it

The bullshit persists, yet so do I.

I hope those eight are slathering their faces in spices for when the leopards cone for them.

It's getting to be that time of year again, so here's your reminder that "We're Not Gonna Take It" is just "O Come All Ye Faithful".

Fulfilled my societal obligation today.

Remember, it's even more important now that when you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.

In my city's subreddit, a user reminded people to go vote tomorrow. Another user asked people to remember property taxes while voting to fund schools, water infrastructure, rec centers, and affordable housing.

Correct horse battery staple.

Mumford & Sons and Hozier released a song titled Rubber Band Man, and I thought it was going to be a cover of The Spinners' song. It was not.

Okay, who made this? 🤣 (Seriously, I want to credit!) (h/t @jerryjamesstone.bsky.social but re-uploading rather than reposting so I can add alt text.)

"Fascist regimes have classic, telltale traits, like vilifying immigrants, adopting patriotic symbolism of their nation’s glorious past, and embracing a narrow definition of masculinity and family values. But just because we also do all of those things does not make us fascists."

Is there an IPO coming up? Because if they learned anything, it should be how willing we are to leave a platform once it becomes shit. I prefer they do it sooner rather than later, but I walked away from 15 years, a few months is nothing.
