Reading this in bed with my cat laying behind my legs - can confirm.

Wait I thought that’s what accomplishment was?

Properly spaced out, sporadic emergencies are where we shine.

No time to worry about being perfect, just has to be done.

Oh thank hell it’s not just me. Every so often I retry the man command only to get frustrated having to flip through six walls of text via keyboard for something a 20 second Internet search would have easily refreshed my memory on.

She has absolutely taken over your life and she bears that knowledge with glee.

Those lil peanut cheeks(whiskers?) of hers are killing me though 😭💜

Thank you this sums up pretty accurately how I’ve felt lately too.

Like, we’re effectively a collection of pseudo-countries loosely tied together by a federal delegation spread across a contiguous landmass roughly a third the size of the continent of Asia. Our cross-border infrastructure is a joke, worker protections are nonexistent and to drive several hours/days to the nation’s capitol to protest (which we’re being told does and doesn’t work??) is a level of cost many literally cannot afford.

In a lot of states we do see grassroots efforts to fight back and improve. That is a better comparison to smaller European countries that have won in fighting against government corruptions, imo. Even Texas recently had a small wave of progressive wins in local races.

Unfortunately I think a lot of outsiders see “you have guns there!” and as such want us to start an all-out bloodbath. I don’t think it’s wrong for the average citizen to not want to die unnecessarily, and/or only use arms for literal self defense rather than reckless political violence. (inb4 “bUt Ur gubbermint is aLrEadY violent!1! DoN’t WaIt!2!” yeah no duh, see “literal self defense”)

A good chunk of the 20th and 21st century European revolutions people point to when we ask were largely nonviolent. That’s what we’ve been trying too. Not unarmed, but nonviolent (also corporate property damage doesn’t count as violence).

Malcolm X, the Black Panthers and of course MLK are solid figurehead examples of American protest that led to some level of success. Protesters during the AIDs crisis too. But it took them years. We’re trying.

And then I proceed to forget to drink any of them and wonder why I’m exhausted by the middle of the afternoon

I feel that. I got COVID (confirmed) back in august and while it screwed up my stomach for 3 weeks my respiratory was fine.

Forgot to vaxx for flu and got it in November, very literally couldn’t breathe properly for 8 weeks.

Got a lot of gray hair from COVID though.

ETA: I did get COVID vaccine when it first came out, and am pro-vax/pro-mask. Just sharing anecdotal experience.

Huey face, Riley attitude.

You outed yourself by demonstrating reading comprehension, sorry

They will know what a primordial pouch is and carry that knowledge as punishment for their crime

This is exactly why I hate TikTok and FB videos too, and once Instagram started hopping on that train I quit and never looked back.

If the information you want to share is worthwhile, it’ll be written out where I can read it at my own pace.

The excessive speed and nightmare for reasonable accessibility (not to mention the self-censoring that screws up the point of subtitles) makes me instinctively upset too. You’re not alone.

ADHD brain is built for sprints, not marathons

As someone who loves the solarpunk aesthetic and does not share your opinion: that’s valid.

“Sleek” and “let nature be” are a contrast and that can be jarring for some.

That’s fair. I watched JP when I was 6 and had themed nightmares for a while, so your parents were probably right. That said, I still loved the movie anyway and also still loved dinosaurs so you may have been similar if you were super into them.

Yeah the discovery of dino feathers changed the game. Ultra-giant pissed off birds is way more imaginable, too. Take a territorial chicken or emu and make it the size of a rhino? That’s a horror movie.

Oh she’s adorable! I love her 💚 I’d love SFW art/tags, thank you so much.

I have no idea if this is satire or not but I unironically love both the idea of your dinosaur character(?) and that YouTube clip.

Do you have art/bio for your sona? If I ever play D&D again this may well inspire me to update my Dragonborn bard to have feathers. /gen

I think it’s code for Christian nationalism? Basically all the sects of Christianity, especially varying Protestant subsects who insist that they’re totally different when it all boils down to the same basic claimed beliefs, and underlying beliefs of superiority over other human beings, to put it politely.

Bubbles or Jiji

This is how I got mine. I had just my one cat for a couple years then one day a new momma shows up on my front steps and informs me that I have a new owner.

Eventually ended up with her and two of her second litter and they’re all lazily asleep on my couch while my first girl is on my her bed and will give me stink eye if I go in before my approved bedtime.
