Look, despite everything, Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson are married. The world could use a little more pure love in it. Getting married is the best thing to ever happen to me. So happy for them.

Pals around with fascists. Photo ops destroying homeless camps. Actively anti-trans. Plastic as Barbie.

That's using the "Upbeat and Optimistic" setting.

The "Dark and Gloomy" setting is much, much darker.

As RWNJs buy up all the media, turn it into slop, and wonder why people walk away.

Read about "Thermocline of Trust".

Peep-Tarts would be peep-filled tarts, not tart flavored peeps, in my overly specific, ADHD-adled brain.

Yup, respond with ad hominem, unsupported BS, and accuse me of whatever random BS you think everyone who disagrees with you on some point believes without checking my timeline, bye.

Me: Hears non-English in a song.
Looks it up.
Realizes too late that I'm reading the next line of the song...

Ah, "I'm a loser," yes. Yes, I am.

See also McCartney's "Michelle".

Loveable prank in progress

@oakborn.bsky.social took a couple of nights away.

While she was gone, MANY tiny chickens were hidden around the house. No one said anything until she found the first.

She's up into the 20s now ... and counting.
