I feel you with this. Living through it sucks hardcore. All I can do is put my head down, keep working, try to keep my family safe, and hope that one day it’ll all be over. But I also feel that things are somehow going to get worse in this country before they get better.

AND NOW FOR SOME POSITIVE NEWS

✨NATURE IS HEALING✨

In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS:

Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring.

Here's a weird starting point:
There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr.

Cats that roar = genus Panthera
Cats that purr = genus Felis

Because of Trubbish’s in-game cry, my hubby and I refer to the ones in Pokémon Go as “DOOP-ee-DOO!” 🤣

This is honestly how I found out I was neurodiverse. Watching TikTok videos and going “What do you mean that’s not “normal”? That’s just the way I’ve been all my life!”

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI.

Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Indiana Jones, taking a short break from stealing Indigenous peoples’ artifacts, is punching nazis in the face, as he should.

FUCK ICE

FUCK FASH

FUCK EVERY PIECE OF NAZI TRASH

SAY IT WITH ME

My company keeps trying to get me to use our internal LLM. I staunchly refuse to do so. I’m not training it to replace me, thanks.

Our Pixel only has one face, generally speaking - tortitude!

Oh wow, for me, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade are my two favorites out of the series. The interaction between Indy and his dad especially was humorous to me. Sorry you didn’t like it!

Love the tanuki bottle! It’s so cute!

And music by Rebecca Sugar!

They are! We have the rainbows as well, and they prompted my husband to make this meme:

Our cats love their Wowzaa! bananas too!

My hubby and I did something similar by creating movie names starring our cat. Not sure why we did it, but we ended up saving it in the Notes app.

I say the same about my husband and his dad every year. His dad always says he doesn’t need anything, and my hubby is cut from similar cloth. We’ll see if they like what I got them this year. 🤣

Please stop playing Fortnite if you support the continued existence of Trans people.

If you've been playing up until now, you have the power to show them that their willingness to support blatant Transphobia comes with serious consequence to the size of their playerbase.

Excellent game! I bought the Earth Dancer edition for Switch 1, then got the Switch 2 upgrade on the eshop on sale. Been playing for a while now and loving it!

Oh, I feel this! I had a bad migraine last week centered behind my left eye. It started with wavy halos on my vision on that side, then totally went dark. Had to take my big meds, call out sick to work, and lay back down to stop the world from spinning. That absolutely is terrifying!

I have this too, as part of my ADHD (focus-based). I was conditioned to say “what?” when I didn’t process initially, because the pause would be seen as rude. It’s been really difficult to retrain my brain not to immediately respond. Maybe I need to do what you suggest here!

I’m so sad you’re not able to ship to the US for now! I was about to order more of the gift stickers for the holidays, so I hope that changes soon!

My husband’s best friend works in marketing. His entire team at North Face was let go earlier this year, most likely in favor of AI. He’s still looking for work all these months later, because no one wants to hire true artists anymore. It’s rough out there!

This is why I pay for the Target membership so I get free delivery. I’m the person who doesn’t want a store employee to bother me. You hit me with that and my RBF will make you run away screaming. Even my friends refer to me as “scary” when I’m on a mission to get what I need and get out.

Describe your cat’s personality in one photo.

Describe your cat’s personality with one photo.

Doctor I trust more than RFK Jr:

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Love it! We have a Glitch kitty too!

Here's the truth.

You can't stand with trans people and take a gig with Rowling. It is impossible. You can make donations, you can issue statements of support, but at the end of the day you are choosing to work with the single most prominent transphobe who uses her money and platform to harm us.
