Flights in the Caribbean turning away from Starship flight 8 debris.

The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.

A six-panel comic. In panel 1, there's a pigeon standing awkwardly next to a pile of sticks with two eggs on it, and the panel is titled "Why pigeons make bad nests: A defense of pigeon aesthetics." In panel 2, a pigeon sits on a pile of sticks: "Many people think that pigeons are bad at making nests. Here are three good reasons why pigeon nests look bad." In panel 3, there's "Reason 1: Some birds, like orioles, nest in tree branches, so they weave elaborate structures that can withstand the elements..." And there's a female Baltimore Oriole weaving an elaborate hanging nest in a silver maple tree. In panel 4, "...but rock pigeons evolved to nest in crevices in cliffs, safely tucked away." And there's a pigeon sitting on a nest in a hole in a cliff. In panel 5, "Reason 2: People domesticated pigeons ages ago. Pigeons didn't need fancy nests because they had human-built homes." A beautiful dovecote shelters a flock of pigeons. In panel 6, "Reason 3: Less time making nest = more time eating seed." A pigeon pecks a seed near its nest, and says "It's called math."

Sitting here thinking about how much better society would have been had the media pushed back against GamerGate instead of brushing the whole thing off as "petty internet drama."

People shouldn’t have to crowdfund survival.

That guilt you feel about not being able to support every GoFundMe for folks who are suffering?

That’s actually rage at a corrupt system refusing to support its people - a rage carefully steered away from the system so you struggle with yourself & not with the institutions that deserve it

don't have any recent photos of myself to use as a pfp, so here's my cat instead

My fellow friends of the fibre arts- what do you do about the loose ends on strands?

I work in a furniture mill.... How does literally no one here have a pair of scissors?!

I've had this app for a little over a week now, and still can't figure out what to post, so I'll start with a little ice breaker.

As a kid, Chuck E Cheese and Mickey Mouse gave me night terrors
