"If Trump is performing for the crowd, they must want the thing he is performing. If the crowd had ‘legitimate concerns’ there would come a moment where they realised these weren't being met."

I love sad people with pianos of any gender, although the extent to which this music "rocks" is kind of a debate. But I didn't know about the musical! Which I will now have to look into!

Moon Pride (Opening) - Sailor Moon Crystal OST YouTube video by Sailor Moon Channel

I've had fun trying to explain the Sailor Moon Crystal theme song to my confused spouse because "girly metal" and metal fusion jpop stuff and the gender politics around that genre are totally different in Japan vs the US. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pCNy...

I always enjoyed over identifying with Fold's sad sack image, which is how I respond to most music. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's not about lust for me, it's about subject positions I want to occupy. (I ALSO like silly fun metal of all stripes!)

Holy shit this whole graphic novella is such a good commentary on so many things but maybe especially the weirdness of being a comics character with a forever life, living through all the time we do but never really being touched by time itself...

I think the other one has a somewhat more unorthodox construction, which gives it a particularly striking look? I don't think this is a less nice ring, but I do think it's got more of a standard fine jewelry style to it, and it could also maybe do with a refresh of its gold plating?

My rabbi: Have you considered that hamantaschen look like vulvas and are maybe a persistence of ancient goddess-worship in the Levant.

My spouse: They look like they should. They're like Star Trek communicator badges. That's the ideal hamantaschen shape.

Not as of yet but who knows, maybe we know all about aliens and we'll find out soon as the US government desperately tries to distract us from its endless scandals.

Seriously does anyone want an online dating profile consultantcy like, send me $50 and I'll zhuzh you up?

RIP your mentions.

Jesus fuck this is ghoulish, I'm just. Fuck.

🥲 yeah I imagine there's a reason why they don't hire us to create better survey instruments

This is why everyone should be hiring people who study language and discourse professionally to help make surveys. (And while you're at it, do some qualitative research to understand how things are already being discussed in different communities.)

OK adding it to my list! Right now the main game I haven't finished is Pentiment and that's hard because it's a little heavy and the wee beastie gets no joy from seeing it on the tv. A cute indie JPRG sounds REALLY playable right about now!

With single + dual typing you get at least 54 distinct personality types! Maybe more because I'm bad at math! Classic water type, am I right?

shhhhh I have only ever played Pokemon Go, I do however enjoy a JPRG now and again

Inventing a new divination and personality typing system based on pokemon types

Meanwhile, the reason I'm just writing for myself these days:

"INFJ – You are eternally damned to working for a morally corrupt company that aims to exploit the weak and generally degrade conditions for all of society."

That's most jobs ahahahahahahaha 😭

A seal-pointed cat is lying in a goofy little twisted pose on top of a table. The way she's flopped with her face upside-down also exposes her teeny little fangs.

Do you need a cat for your Monday?

The US (and its allies because so much of this has been widely supported internationally) has learned zero things about deciding other people need regime change. Not once in my life has a thing been learned.

Hello.

There’s no righteous reason to kill children.

Thank for coming to my ted talk.

So look I get it. Guy doesn't want dialogue. I love to complain online too. Fine.

But if you're this upset about how Americans who aren't from countries bombing Iran differentiate themselves from those Americans who are, maybe log off and call your senator and ask them to stop the war instead.

Oh my god you can't even touch them, how, how did they get them in their mouths.

Doing this for students is SO important. Like, come here my precious nerd child, let me help you. Let us nerd together.

And now the right is literally calling for more teenage pregnancy, because however you're having kids, you're probably having them wrong, and birth rate panic is never actually about the birth rate.

(RACISM IT'S ABOUT RACISM.)

Just a little cloud of a puppy, absolute hero

She's such a gymnast and loves to show off her excellent balance.

Omg 1986. I was FIVE.

Except ALL FLUFF. (My cats are like this. We got them all shaved once. Barely any cat at all under the fluff!)
