“The @arrogantworms.bsky.social sure have a lot more death in their songs than Weird Al.” - @zaclonius.bsky.social, after listening to “Rippy the Gator” 🐊

I ended up watching Christmas Eve on Sesame Street instead and teared up at a few scenes but otherwise made it through the movie. Hallelujah…

@arrogantworms.bsky.social signed this poster for me when I was in grade 9 (21 years ago…). The science class reference is bc I got a multiple choice question right due to the song Lonely Lab of Broken Hearts. I’m sorry worms but I hated school & ended up barely passing grade 9 science with a 50 LOL

I’m finally putting up some more posters at my “new” apartment (that I moved to in February) and as God is my witness I shall never part with the Groundskeeper Willie iFlurtz poster for as long as I shall live

TFW you’re 12 years old making a mixtape and you sneeze but you just don’t want to rewind and tape the the song again so you leave it for your 35-year-old self to listen to in the far future 😂

Last week Trump called Tim Walz the “R slur” and now his base are using it regularly. They’re driving past the Walz house & shouting it at the family. It’s not ok. The disability community has worked for decades to remove that word from the public vernacular. This is ableism at its most vile:

A snazzy thing in the 2002-3 ADV DVD release (and anyone who remembers Exiled-Destiny encodes!) of chaos anime Excel Saga: VidNotes. These are helpful notes for cultural references and language quirks peppered by the dozen in each episode, popping up with mascot Menchi to clue you in.

There’s another one I probably shouldn’t watch because it will remind me of my mom and make me sad… I’m definitely avoiding Muppet Christmas Carol too 😭 OK I literally cried when my brother was watching Return of the Jedi and Darth Vader died XD know your limit, play within it

Hey, you know what's a good TV special? A Muppet Family Christmas. Please give this post 38,000 likes.

It's #RandomGameSaturday again, and in celebration of the Analogue 3D finally being shipped I present "Densha de Go! 64". Currently it's the only Japanese N64 game I own And being a massive train nerd, it's obvious I'd own a copy of at least one Densha de Go! game isn't it?

I can't tell you how much I love Ken Sugimori's old art. He's still got it but in the 80s and 90s he really wore his influences on his sleeve in a really endearing way.

Also my in-laws went to Italy and brought me back Italian Pokémon cards that ended up to be fake. Will post more pics tonight but here is a preview. What even is that Palafin pack!!!!

Yesterday I encountered my 2nd-ever “natural” Shiny Pokémon in a core series game. (First one was Shiny Pidgeotto in LGP. I’m not counting “guaranteed” shinies like Red Gyarados or events, or ones ppl have traded to me.) So here is my Trubbish. I’ll love him forever and like him for always. 🥰

Good news for Team Paper…. Spotted during this morning’s hike in the Vernon Nature Area outside of Kenora.

Everyone I know is sick right now with “a bad bug” Many are lamenting the fact that they were sick not long ago as well Then they turn around and ask me when I’m going to stop masking My N95 means I avoid not only covid, but all the other viruses floating around Masks rock!

I could go off but the point is. Ableism is not partisan. Stop acting like it's partisan. And stop using the lib pormanteau of the r word, seriously, what the fuck, just think about what you're saying and how cruel it comes off as.

Since 2020, disabled people have been pointing out the rising ease with ableist rhetoric/language, the comfort with which so many people used the r word, the number of people willing to abandon disabled people for some notion of the "normal." All of it mattered/matters to understand fascism today.

Today is Canada’s National Day for Truth & Reconciliation We honour Indigenous peoples: survivors of residential schools & the 60s Scoop, the lives lost to MMIW & the Highway of Tears, and the erasure of Two-Spirit people We acknowledge genocide, racism, grief, and the land Listen. Learn. Act 🧡

At Scarleteen, we respect all our visitors. We believe in real human contact and service, not robot hallucinations, and we believe that the damage AI does and can do to our planet and to actual people creating work and providing services is wholly unnecessary.

I fell asleep playing Pokémon & dropped the 3DS on the floor (not a comment on the quality of the game) & got this big crack next to the right hinge 😬 so I got one of those clear cases. The protection is minimal on the hinge for obvious reasons but I’d like to think it’ll help if I dropped it again.

Today is the 19th anniversary of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions, first released in Japan for the Nintendo DS on September 28, 2006! They are the first core series games of Gen IV and take place in the Sinnoh region. https://bulbapedia.b...

On one hand I keep hearing about how nobody uses Canada Post anymore, and on the other, my inbox is full of stuff like my local library telling me interlibrary loans are now suspended because they use Canada Post, my bank not being able to send me my new card, frantic apologies from small businesses

you’re never more than 10 feet away from someone texting “lol” with a completely expressionless face

I didn’t super love Pokémon Sun + Moon when they first came out, and to tell the truth, I never finished them! I’m pretty close to the end in Moon, but was only 2 hours in on Sun. Zack was planning a re-play of Sun himself, so I tucked the event Pokémon safely in Pokémon Bank, and started over too!

what do we think chat is this funny enough for a sticker? (typography will still be improved, this is just a concept)

goofy final boss

I don't really care if the future is short videos. I like words. Words have gotten me this far and I'm gonna stick with 'em for the duration

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

Its one thing if youre tricked (ive fallen for it myself. No one is immune), but I feel like if you feel that you have to share any AI-created anythings knowingly then thats just you openly telling the world how creatively bankrupt you are.

Don’t take medical advice from AI. Don’t take legal advice from AI. Don’t take financial advice from AI. Better yet, stop using generative AI. It’s destroying the environment, it generates slop and is destroying the internet, artists, creativity and our brains.

*young me, developing a strong sense of justice* This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

Like no brain, using the medications that I need for my variety of medical conditions is a good idea and I don't get any gold stars for suffering needlessly.

Species Spotlight: Great Egret (Ardea alba) The Great Egret is a striking marsh bird with snow-white plumage, a yellow beak, and long black legs. Great Egrets live in shallow wetlands, including mudflats, marshes, and ponds, where they primarily hunt small fish, insects, and amphibians.

Now the (very delayed) unpacking continues as I begin displaying figures :3

Plushies!!!! 🧸 I only moved like six months ago 😂

testing

Road sign or metaphor?

Anyone who has exchanged snail mail with me probably has some of these stickers. About 15 years ago Walmart used to sell these “value cubes” full of random old stuff and as a result I acquired literally in excess of 1000 of these 90s Pokémon stickers. I still have hundreds. I will never run out lol

do you ever stare at the ceiling and think about how the worldwide scientific establishment did the impossible and created a COVID vaccine in under a year and the response of the general public has been to go on an unstoppable rampage to destroy science and scientists

I went to a game store the other day and was asking if they had any singles of the Pokémon TCG expansions for the e-Reader except I couldn’t remember the names of Aquapolis and Skyridge 😂 I was like “Expedition Base Set, uhhhh the water one, uhhhhhh the mountain one” 🤣🤣🤣

this is one of my ultimate “could never get away with this today” movies genuinely an impeccable way to teach kids that poverty is an artificial social construct and the cops use violence to enforce it also Friar Tuck is one of cinema’s greatest Catholics I am serious

It doesn’t matter when or why you stopped masking. You can start again anytime, right now. It doesn’t have to be a big deal.
