Warm soup is incredibly satisfying on a cold rainy day.

"I was told you're a monster," the hero said. "So they say," said the monster. "But you're beautiful!" "Thank you." "Have you always been a monster?" "Heh. I was a young maiden. But I did something forbidden." "And became a monster?" "Got named a monster." "What did you do?" "I hit back."

It is a very difficult time for trans people in this country. It is a very difficult time for people in this country. It is a very difficult time for people. It is a very difficult time. It is. 💔

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars or Trek), LOTR, Marvel, Disney animated or Pixar

The USA really is trying to set new records for fucking ourselves up.

unless you want to see a thousand accounts dunk quoting and arguing with these propaganda accounts, this is a handy block list

Something in Australia that won't kill you!

I'm wearing pants and I haven't joined the cult today so I'm going to call that a win.

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

I used to dream that I would be a prince But God Almighty, have you seen what's happened since?

I've been thinking that I reached the part of old age where I make grunting sounds for no reason, but tonight I'm beginning to realize that I'm actually in constant low level pain. Fun!

It's time to check out Planet of Lana! I loved the demo at EGX back in the day so let's go! www.twitch.tv/CharlAltDelete

Something that isn't often seen: daffodil seeds. It can take a daffodil grown from seed up to seven years before it flowers, so seeds aren't harvested often and propagation is usually done by digging up flowers whose bulbs have split.

Glamping? No, no, we do this full-time. This is Glomelessness.

Apparently, having a bunch of Tajin seasoning in the produce section of a large chain grocery store isn't a thing in most of the US. Sometimes I forget just how many Latin American immigrants I live around, but I am truly grateful for all the food and culture that they've brought to this area.

I was reminded of this bit of early '80s nonsense this evening. Looking back, the generic products aisle seems very dystopian.

Spring is slowly creeping in

Happy Birthday, @laurieblackinc.bsky.social

I have an MMR vaccine update scheduled for Thursday. FU anti-vaxxers. I hope every last one of you winds up with the measles and the worst complications that it can cause so you can spend the rest of your lives suffering and kicking yourselves over your stupidity.

-8c and everything is covered with heavy frost this morning. Not the weather I'd like. Still, it's cool to see all the trees and grass glittering from the reflected street lights. It's like my whole yard has become a fey trap. Sadly, stepping out of the house didn't send me to another world.

Google Maps is in the Play store and can be reviewed. It'd be a shame if they got called out with negative reviews due to the addition of incorrect names for large bodies of water.

My dream outcome at this point

ATTENTION: The mall river is now running in reverse. The coins are slowly rising back to the surface. Someone or something has denied the wishes.

Something without rage or politics for your day: The Vancouver zoo has a live sea otter cam. It's very relaxing to watch. www.youtube.com/live/2R034rQ...

Project Gutenberg has converted tens of thousands of old books into ebooks that are freely downloadable. It's a great resource for US citizens to bookmark in the face of all the book bans and other Republican BS that's being forced upon us. www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/26184

If you're old enough to remember Hannah Barbara's Wacky Racers, this commercial is gold youtu.be/A2apYrKvgLw?...

To the person blasting ‘Eye of the Tiger’ in the parking lot: it’s Monday. Lower the volume and your expectations.

FYI: the massage chairs are not a substitute for therapy. But they might help a little.

Money is the end of Democracy. Money likes having a fascist in charge because the fascist will do whatever the money says to do. The moment they opened the floodgates of money on politics, we were doomed because none of them are willing to give up the money.

I've been listening to this song a lot lately. No reason. You might give out a listen to. Pay attention to the lyrics if you do. youtu.be/-sOSr7n_8YU?...

Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.

Join me next Saturday January 25 for some good Lego building! After completing the orchid I felt I needed some more brick-built beauty around my home. See you on Twitch!

It's a fixer-upper.

Thai food at a Buddhist temple with a little black cat for company.

My vacation is starting off with a lucky assignment to an exit row for that sweet extra 3" of leg room. Let's hope everything else goes just as well.

Okay, yes, my sense of humor is very dark. But the toaster is so cute and so happy!

'Cause not much is sacred, There's not really much to do here any more. I don't feel like you said, I walk the earth my darling, but I never feel at home

I exist. So there's that.
