an explicable rat

got a call that her preorder for volume 2 of the Metaphor manga had come in last week, so today I did one of our routines alone, driving up to Gardena and grabbing some food from the japanese market next door

also, if you care about disability justice, hope you’re also pro-fat liberation.

do you know how many people have gone to the doctor for troubling symptoms, been automatically dismissed and told to lose weight, and then developed late-stage/severe chronic and acute illnesses?

The apartment building my Grandparents were living in burned down when my mother was a baby. The Salvation Army assisted the other tenants with emergency housing. They wouldn't help my Mom's family because they were Jewish.

logos for AI tools and companies are awesome because they're all just "a cool shape i imagined," and though they were probably "imagined" by an algorithm, they're perfectly representative of their product or service: "we couldn't think of anything clever, and neither can you"

For trans day of remembrance I'm just going to share again this art I made last year 🐁💛🏳️‍⚧️

Weather this weekend is set to be very wet. Potential for thunderstorms, so things can still go wrong, but at least that won't be my fault and we can reschedule something just for remote viewers, if we have to.

My cabling is VILE, really not anything to be proud of but it wooooorks

very very very glad I took the time to do setup today for the video call this weekend because I encountered ISSUES that left me sweating bullets until I figured them out. Took about four hours to get things sorted out.

Hi everyone!! We have a lot of creators signed up but still looking for more to help out!

I still have a bunch of squeakross game keys to give out to streamers to give to their top donors!
The event is dec 1st - 10th but its just fundraising at least one of those days! ❤️🐀

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

my rat OC Star without his iconic goggles. he just looks like a regular dumbo rat here, except for the fact that he's yellow. he's staring blankly, with his mouth open in a smile. his head is empty.

:D ...?

Every once in a while I think of this edit I did of Zagreus 😆

Only just seeing the news about Neverwhere now, but genuinely a really sad thing to read about.

She was a fantastic person and you might remember her name as she turned up in chat a good couple of times - more recently massively excited to see everyones reactions to the RGG Summit.

Rest in Peace.

for that shout-out and ask if you mind me showing it to her relatives and friends via video call this weekend? If you're ok with that.
2/2

@froob.bsky.social I saw your mention of Neverwhere in day 4 of your 50 at 5 streams and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, she was always thrilled to watch all your streams and your runs at GDQ. I'm behind on our streamers, as you can imagine. I wanted to ask which vod to check 1/2

Robert and I played RATSHAKER yesterday.
It was very good. 🐀

Breaking: Post-Gazette Strikers Win Three-Year Strike!

A grasshopper mouse howling

Underrated fursona idea: the grasshopper mouse. It is a carnivorous rodent that 1. Is continuously evolving a higher pain threshold and toxin tolerance to be able to eat live snakes and scorpions while they fight back, and 2. Defends its territory by howling like a tiny wolf. Hardcore little beast

Holy Fuck. did i mention this game is Free?
