You know what my favorite thing about the Pokemon TCG is? The attack names:
And my all-time favorite:
Pokemon Heritage Post
WAIT I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW
I collect fake pokemon cards, badly translated to Spanish… I have this excadrill card with the attack “straight slash”. Well. That’s the original name anyways.
my father just found out about the murderbot casting and sent me like a dozen angry texts about it back to back, and his take is that for thematic reasons murderbot needs to not be a white man because it is constantly misjudged based on its appearance and assumed to have no real inner life or personhood, which is (1) very insightful, (2) not actually a take i have seen elsewhere in The Discourse so far (though i have not gone out of my way to look for The Discourse tbf), and (3) not remotely what i expected a not-very-online 60something cishet white guy not ordinarily given to literary analysis to say about it??? really caught me off-guard and now i’m also annoyed i didn’t think of it. like, i, the litcrit queer am over here going “idk i just think it’s the least interesting choice you could make” and he’s thinking about the subtextual resonances and/or ways of communicating the marginalized status of a secunit to the audience on a visceral level. goddammit.
idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it
Actually forget what I said. This dream is more important than anything
posts about fatphobia and societal valuation of being skinny don’t actually need your comment about your metabolism. you don’t need to add that. it’s not necessary. no one needs that. there is no requirement for it being there. that is an unsolicited comment. am i making myself clear enough that no one fucking cares?
it’s like this crazy guilt complex about being skinny of all things that makes people basically brag but in a way that convinces them that they’d totally be ok with being fat if they could they’re just magically blessed cursed with being socially desirable and everyone needs to know (but like it’s definitely not derailing the post to make it about skinny people who feel kinda bad about it)
The National Parks Service have purged trans people from the website on the Stonewall National Monument
Trans people threw the first bricks at Stonewall, this is explicitly genocidal and revisionist, they are removing trans people from our history, they don’t want us to exist
The fact they can’t even acknowledge us in platitudes is fucking terrifying, they can’t even say T in LGBT on the website for Stonewall Inn. Stonewall was the start of our liberation and we can’t and could never have liberation without trans people and specifically trans women like Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera
During the raid on the Stonewall Inn in 1969, the police forced all women in the bar to undergo genital inspections in the restroom so they could arrest trans women and drag queens. That was what started the riots, people refused to comply with the police attempting to target trans women. It is explicitly revisionist to separate trans people from the stonewall uprising
worth adding that the actual stonewall inn made an official statement
“The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word transgender” from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website.“
a few doors down from me my neighbors have a squirrel bar nailed to the tree in front of the sidewalk, not exactly this but something like this:
it’s been there for years and they never “stock” it so it’s just sitting there. anyway, i thought it would be cute to make a little squirrel out of sculpey and leave it on one of the stools in the middle of the night. i also made a little sculpey beer bottle with its own label.
it lasted exactly one day and now it is gone. it didn’t fall off, i stuck it on with tape. what do you think happened to it? your most fantastical and wrong answers only, please
internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing

Some weird insults in the Catalan language, from the Instagram account dailycatalan.
May I add pixavins (wine pisser) and tros de soca (piece of stump)
may i (also) add pixaPINS (pine pisser), tap de bassa (pond plug) and esvirgagallines (taker of hens’s virginities)
Excellent ones too. Pixapins (pine tree pisser) means someone from the city (usually Barcelona) who goes to the countryside on field trips and such. And tap de bassa (pond plug) means a very short person.
Documenting what is quite possibly the best exchange I have ever seen on this website.
He will not be exiled again
I enjoy all parts of this post. The trans leash, the confusion, the heartfelt display of affection we give to our pets. The biography, the history lesson, and the morality of keeping cats indoors are all bonuses.
Hey thats me again.
Anyway guess whos 18 now!!!

This post has EVERYTHING…
As the puppy on the end of the leash I like the pattern
the REAL truth that this coward won’t admit is that you absolutely did not have to do this no matter when you were born. my mp3s went straight into that thing looking exactly like they were downloaded and I learned their weird names like god intended. you and your “put together” ipod have nothing on me and my 45 🖾 🖾 🖾______%a&us.fr.uk by Various Artists

the rest of the paragraph that was cut out in that screenshot literally explains the reasons behind the easter bilby and bluntly theyre minimising the impact that wild rabbits have had as an introduced species in our ecosystem.
the easter bibly was an ingenious campaign that builds in social awareness and change to an ongoing annual tradition without detracting from what that tradition represents. the choice behind it was intentional
It also puts the bibly at the front and center, which is important, because bilby were once widespread in Australia, but due to the threat of habitat loss, disease, and predation by invasive species in Australia, like foxes, these little guys have dwindled in numbers.
You can learn more about bilby conservation here, as well as get links to other resources, and, if you’re a bilby fan, some access to bilby merch. I think I see some chocolate Easter bilby in there, too!
normally stuff like this feels performative because anyone can talk shit online to someone and most normal people would just ignore it and block you but in this instance its the funniest thing in the world because you know for a fact its getting to him
Bi-monthly reminder that all the emojis I post are also stickers in my Etsy. (Except Pokemon, because Nintendo is scary.)
They’re big, like over 2.5 inches usually, they’re laminated, I always send bonus stuff with orders like free stickers, bookmarks or pins, even if you only buy a single thing. I just bought fancy little star pattern cloth bags to put free items in.
Best of all, they’re only $2.
Under the cut for those that want to see my new stickers. For everyone else, that’s okay! I love you! 💕😚
I try not to advertise often, but I do prefer to eat something other than white rice and cup noodles, so I have to every once in a while. If you leave a nice message when you buy something, high chance you’ll get more free stuff. 💕💌
