Hey, it’s Franklin. Coming over to play. I mean, to clarify things in the most polite way possible. #HandsOffOurTurtle

I said it… And I MEANT it!

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

OK, who narced?

The flip side of this is that there are people I have cut contact with, here and in real life, for reasons that are my own and not up for debate (or, more accurately, people may debate them but I am not obliged to care or change my mind). If I allow myself this prerogative, others have it too.

Either online or in real life, it's not up to me to tell people how to have a relationship with me. If they want to live their life free of me, that's their right and privilege. Here and in other places I've had folks cut contact. How I feel about it is not their problem.

Comic. Panels up to the 10-year point are grayed out. New panels since the Ten Years comic, which chronicles the first ten years of PERSON 1's journey with cancer: (1) [two people in bed] PERSON 1 (woman): One more chapter?

I will be the first to admit I couldn’t understand why anyone would oppose Assisted Dying… and then I became disabled and had it “offered” to me.

It’s not compassionate when there’s coercion.

It’s not dignified when it’s offered in lieu of care.

Listen to disabled people.

It's time for everyone's favorite chronologically unanchored holiday, The Story of the Lizard in the Leg.

Chicago pope sings

Brandy you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life my love and my lady
Is the See

Behold the guac in a a bowl, fresh and green

*the horror persists, but so does cooking for a tiny shot of joy*

HEY Y’ALL IF YOU’VE NEVER MADE HUEVOS RANCHEROS BEFORE, LET’S GO

Start with whipping up a wee batch of guacamole. 1 avocado, three diced cherry tomatoes, about a quarter of a white onion (diced), juice of one lime, salt & pepper

#KimWooBin penned a letter for his fans to personally confirm the news he will be getting married on December 20th to longtime girlfriend #ShinMinAh, with whom he shares "deep trust and affection".

The actor also asks fans to keep showing them support, as they have for the past ten years.

Some corn niblets in a skillet getting a bit of char on them. You can use olive oil or avocado oil.

HEY KIDS, WANNA COOK A STREET CORN SMASH BURGER TACO WITH UNCLE KEVIN? LET’S GO!

You don’t even have to do the burger part. Just the street corn will measurably improve your life. So let’s start there. Open a can of corn, dump in a skillet with oil, & char

These threads of yours bring me joy. Thank you for them.

Turning off the Smart Features option also automatically turns off the other smart add-ons, afaik, which imo is a plus.

I promise you, trans people have existed throughout human history. We have the records; we have the stories; and shameful as it is to use this as a marker, we have the slurs. Humans are GREAT at slurs, but we usually develop them because they have targets. If the slurs exist, so do the people.

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Trans people have literally always been here; every time I see someone sneering "oh but there were no trans people when I was in high school," well. I dated a trans girl in high school, and was close friends with a trans guy.

My house is haunted, but it’s mostly just confusing, like..it’s never really scared me - just made me second-guess my ADHD meds. According to our neighbors, our place was once owned by an elderly Italian couple who spoke little English.

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

An old tweet I did from my MYSADCAT account in 2014, not long after I lured George - who has, for reasons known only to himself, decided to get in an IKEA bag - out of the bush where he had been living behind the garden of the house I was renting and encouraged him to live with me, The Bear (also pictured) and my two other cats Ralph and Shipley. I'm really posting this to draw people to the essay in the link, which I think is one of the best and most rewarding things I've ever written about cats, even though writing it made me quite upset, to say the least.

Re: Epstein’s emails

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.
