Hey, why are people still posting literally any images* of the dick-for-brains in chief? Like. I don't need to see his face. Just blot it out and draw a dick over it. *It is, of course, always appropriate to circulate images of him with Epstein

Zelda likes Dina's big, plush dog bed so much, so we got another, smaller one just like it. As you can see, it is working out just as we'd hoped.

Why the fuck should we be giving a shit about one more person having died of gun violence in America, the Dying of Spontaneous Gun Violence Capital of the World? I'm done talking about it. Everyone else who didn't know The Dead Guy, closely and personally, should also move the fuck on.

What if, instead of Christmas cookie boxes, I sent out Halloween cookie boxes?

I fucking hate chili. There, I said it. I hate it. It's like eating an entire bowl full of the most terribly seasoned tomato sauce you could possibly imagine, with gross chunks of ground beef and beans in it. Why?? I understand making a meal of what's available to you, but for fuck's sake.

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

everything went downhill when they took porn off tumblr

The absolute ignorance. The mind-boggling lack of capacity for logic and awareness. That these motherfuckers literally claim to champion "free speech," then demand people be punished for saying mean things about a dead Nazi. I'm far from the first to point this out, but I continue to be flummoxed

Look at my son. Fluffy bowling ball with a head and a tail

Feeding Zelda: -Wash food bowl -open cat food -pick up cat from the countertop and place her back on the floor -scoop food into bowl -microwave food for 5 seconds -place cat back on the floor -stir food t -place cat on the floor -stir -place cat on the floor -stir food to -place cat on the floor

You can lead a dog to water, but you can't make them drink. But sometimes if you pour some water from your own water bottle into their already-full bowl, you can trick them into taking a big drinkie because now the water is *special.*

Skinny, tiny little Zelda is still eating everything in sight after almost 2 months with us, and is starting to get a round li'l belly.

How

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

I long to touch a shark. I need to know what their fucked up tooth-skin feels like.

Guy: bragging to me about the specs of his fancy, expensive car. Me: "Wow, cool, bro. Oh, is it my turn to talk about something you have no knowledge of or interest in? Let me tell you about my extensive collection of pliers and the aspect ratios of all my jump rings."

Did it happen yet

I finally submitted a disability accomodations request at work today. Wish me luck. Literally all I'm asking for is more remote time to accommodate bad symptom days and medical appointments. (Currently I get one fixed remote day a week.) It literally would cost them nothing to give me that.

I only post on Fridays now because I'm dead the rest of the week

one very real, concrete way to help feed Gaza right now is through donating to World Central Kitchen

I waited until the end of the workday, then made off with all the leftover bagels. It's what I deserve.

This year Indiana University is cutting nearly 20% of their degree programs, and each individual schools/departments are mandated to cut their budgets by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Meanwhile, university president Pam Whitten gave herself a $200k raise and she gets a $225k bonus.

Yesterday was Black Cat Appreciation Day and I forgot to post pictures of my son. (I could not get him to be still for even a moment. He was very aggressive doing his "pets dance" at me, so they are all a little blurry.)

I wrote a cover letter the other day and I used Big Words from my Big Neurodivergent Vocabulary that I use in everyday speech, and all I could think about while reading it over was that anyone who read it would probably assume it was written by AI ☹️

I'm still alive. New diagnosis: PCOS (apparently I have "textbook" polycystic ovaries.) Goes nicely with my PKD. I'm actually just a collection of cysts in a trenchcoat.

Almost two weeks later, and Moxie is back to her usual self, complete with growling at everyone and everything, sleeping in my bed, and biting me for touching her one too many times. She's eating enthusiastically.

Moxie won't eat. Usually, in my experience with older cats, that's the beginning of the end, if not the end itself. She has a vet appointment Tuesday, and we'll see what they say.

happy august 1st.

This summer has been such a horrible, busy, stressful slog. I'm so fucking tired. Anyway, here's Kevin. Reason enough to keep on living.

My primary doctor is so fed up with me that last time I saw him and tried to bring up my pain and exhaustion he told me to "find satisfaction in my job." That cost me $120 after insurance. Completely unrelated, I'm sure, guess who's back on antidepressants.

You didn't think we'd forget about you two, did you? All payment processors get love! :) While Mastercard and Visa are drowning, these two have been feeling a bit neglected. u_u stop-paypros.neocities.org #SaveSpeech

I think Visa and Mastercard may be getting a lot of calls about their adult content policies, but I just called in to PayPal and not only was there no wait, the customer service rep I got had never had one of these calls before (they were very nice about it.)

Please, I know we all hate talking on the phone, but please call. We HAVE to fight back against small hate groups having an outsized international influence on so many livelihoods MUST stop. There's more of us than there are of them; we have to make our voices heard.

I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

Zelda finally had her spay and I brought her home today. There's something special about finding a tiny, half-starved predator outside and feeding her and earning her trust to the point where she wants to lay on you to keep her warm and safe when she's recovering from a surgery.

two of them

if you're more interested in being an edgy 12 year old from 2002 than someone who treats people with disabilities with dignity than you can get the hell out of my life 🫶

the amount of time I've said "I will block you if I see you using or reposting something with the r-word" and find out that mutuals are upset when they realize I did it... I warned you about stairs bro!!!! I'm not joking!

Not subtweeting anyone but it's interesting that a lot of very online people are surprised mandatory age verification is coming in for everyone in the UK on July 25th. If the porn ban is surprising for very online people the regular population is going to be absolutely blindsided.

What a headline.

It can't be overstated how much American corporations hate american consumers.

JD Vance is out here praising the virtues of blood and soil, Musk's vanity chatbot is literally suggesting genocide of Jews, and nobody is holding either of those fascist assholes to account. I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind

I think Glass Onion's Miles Bron was meant to be a satire of tech bros, but he turned out to just be an accurate portrayal.

why the fuck do you want Superman to cater to you? You already have Homelander, leave us alone

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

played D&D with the kids while we were visiting. I made a Tabaxi child version of my son Paterson. It was fun to play a wild magic sorcerer who is also a tiny cat chaos gremlin.

The most majestic thing you will see on #bluesky today. 😇

NEW: In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson listed 27 grievances to prove that King George III was a tyrant. We looked at how many of those now apply to Donald Trump. Have a good Fourth of July and pass this on. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Senate will soon vote on Trump’s Tax Scam, which would gut Medicaid and SNAP to fund more tax cuts for billionaires. Call your GOP senators ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Or send an email if you can’t get anyone on the phone: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...
