Urrrgh sore throat yuck.

A pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from Safeway is $9.99. If I bought one every day for a year, that's $3,646.35. The average price of a house in the United States is $400,000. It would cost about 109 years of daily rotisserie chickens to buy that house.

Screenshot of a social media exchange. Brigitte Gabriel posts: “A person’s brain doesn’t fully develop until they are about 25 years old. That’s why the vast majority of Generation Z voters are Democrats.” Below, Devin Duke replies: “But you still want a 10-year-old to carry a baby?”

Make it make sense.

His favorite? Wasn't he heartily sick of looking at them after a while?

It looks like a slice of pepperoni.

I'm in North Carolina, aren't you in NYC?

Also just to add, every fricken white person who told me I was overreacting and catastrophizing can go fuck off forever.

I have to confess that I feel that if ICE took me, nobody would notice I was gone.

I should theoretically have nothing to fear. I am a naturalized US citizen. I have no criminal record and I don't even have driving infractions.

But I am terrified.

And I feel so, so alone.

This is what ICE looks like

Two half grown kittens in a blue carrier. Sonnet, at the front, is a ginger kitten who is glaring/squinting at me and guarding his black sister from anyone scary.

Sonnet and Cadence were VERY GRUMPY about being popped into a carrier and taken to the vet for desexing.

Time to repost the cheese mite monastery drabble!

Yes, let's be friends!

the statute that Jeanine Pirro reportedly tried to indict congressional Dems under, 18 USC 2387, was originally passed as part of the 1947 Smith Act, a notorious law used to clamp down on free speech during the Red Scare

Next I think is kiln and lamp glass and lapidary.

As of last week I added soldering for jewelry to my extensive craft skill index.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Hi. It's me. I'm the baby owl. 🪶 🐣

I've never gotten such perfect smol muppet owling beak on beak action in my life so far, and it was taken from over 500 feet away, in 84 degree heat, on top of asphalt, facing the sun!

Really psyched for baby owl season 2026! 🪶 🐣

Hey folks I solved my Rubik’s Cube and am now experiencing infinite waves of pleasure and pain in an extra dimensional hell. This thing should come with a warning label

He doesn't know if the Census Bureau is part of the department he runs?! Or he doesn't know the Census Bureau establishes the poverty line?

Either way, that's the kind of staggering admission of utter cluelessness that should get this ass-kissing toady shown the door

Chiitan thinks of transgender people as my mom and dad
cherish my mom and dad for the rest of my life
I love you all

I will continue to spread the message about transgender people until the day I disappear
I hope that all good-hearted transgender people can live their lives with pride and happiness

Uhoh those the were load-bearing witches.

Honestly ghost towns aren't super great for accessibility which is why I hesitate to do it. The roads are horrible, groceries are hard to get, getting contractors up a mud road to put everything to standard is likely expensive.

Every once in a while I keep thinking maybe me and my friends could pool our monies together and buy like... a ghost town or something.

It will be just me and it will be small pieces, custom, because it's literally bobbin lace made with jewelry grade wire — silver, perhaps gold. Copper for visual contrast. With gemstone or glass beads depending on customer budget.

Earrings, bracelets, necklaces/pendants.

Crafter and artisan friends: I'm working on prototyping some jewelry that I may sell when I manage final production. What's a good place to sell?

I am aware that Etsy is not a great place to do so.

Good time to remind everyone that "no fap" and similar anti masturbation pushes are — and this is not hyperbole — literal Third Reich Nazi propaganda that was digested through the bowels of 4chan and shat out in its current form.
