If you are wondering if you should pick your cat up and show them to your doctor during your virtual visit? Take this as a sign to do so. It did not derail my appt, yet it DID give me the unofficial medical advice to get, “as many kitty snuggles as possible.” Doc’s orders!

Hulu? Come see. No need to patronize with this, “Choose your ad experience” shit. Just play the fucking ad and let us get back to watching Futurama for the 809th time.

Between this and the “suicide plant” Australia is a Stephen King book read backward in a funhouse mirror.

lol. Watching S5 of the Wire tonight: “imagine talking to a psychopath like that” “I interviewed Dick Cheney once”

“AAAAAAUUUUGGGHHH!” - Tom Servo, “Mitchell” The right people will get it.

An AI system employed by schools in Baltimore mistakes a bag of chips in a teenager’s pocket for a gun. Cue half a dozen squads pulling up on the kid to draw weapons. I once choked on Cool Ranch Doritos, but generally do not find them as deadly as or shaped like a gun.

Grasp passion with both hands! Or paws. Or hoofs. Tentacles work, too.

this is the moral cowardice of conservatism that i've been on about. andrews can't just directly say "i think a little friendly competition is good." she has to dress it up in this pseudohistory about men and women's inherent natures as revealed by the Savannah™️ www.compactmag.com/article/the-...

Remember, Lovecraft was a huge dickbag, but so was Suess. Enjoy.

If some cats can joyously announce they are pooping by hollering and loudly meow-mrowing, surely we can all celebrate our own human wins without shame!

A fast-growing digital movement means Indigenous people no longer rely on outsiders to speak for them.

Well isn’t this lovely. Opera star sings Habanera (from Carmen) in the airport (?) What a terrific voice. #opera I don’t care if they’re staged, we need more profl free public #music and #art.

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.

Everybody needs someone to look at them like this when emerging from a shower.

Remembered this morning a therapist once told me true intimacy isn’t about how much is shared, but how little either person feels the need to pretend and hide their true selves. Terrifying to imagine it before you are in the place where you cannot imagine anything else.

Began the year single as a Pringle and would have laughed in your face if you said come August I’d be reorganizing my partner’s bandanas. Love does grab you by the throat! With a bandana, in this case .

In most media tall people are portrayed as ungainly and lumbering with thunderously heavy footsteps warning of arrival. Then there is @thatamenkid.bsky.social whose footsteps are as light as Nureyev’s leaps. Unrelated, but is it wrong to ask one’s partner to wear a cowbell at home?

Good.

“Singh, a global icon, set records by running marathons across multiple age categories, including when he was over 100. He began running at 89 and ran nine full marathons between 2000 and 2013, when he retired.”

Nobody tells you life after 40 includes how the number of people you want to call out to the street goes up exponentially.

Love means never have to use more than the one controller/remote/magic tech box because your beloved knows your brain will fry if you try to use more than the one.

ah, timeline synchronicity

Re: Diddy being acquitted on sex trafficking charges, one of the reasons the MeToo backlash has been so effective is because the court system enables a commentary class to say the absence of a guilty verdict means that women and victims are liars. In reality it’s incredibly hard and rare to convict

Among other things, I'm just so pissed that a country that once made winning WWII its whole personality is now building concentration camps

It is vital to be a good partner and take care of what scares your other half. In our home? The wee teeny bit of juice left is their phobia, and I am brave for them.
