I can’t tell you where or how to activate to help solve this. There are politicians, groups, and activists pushing for this in so many ways. I can tell you when, though.
been going insane over Bruce in his eating dome for 24 hrs now
There is so much story telling here. A person got this pacific parrotlet named it Bruce which in and of itself is amazing but then this person went here my little bird friend a raspbebe for you to enjoy and Bruce said hell yeah and went cataclysmicly and irreversible ape shit ham on that berry. And that probably happened more than once. So instead of never again allowing this little dinosaur the joy of the succulent flesh of the delectable raspberry they went what can we do for our little baby boy. and then boom they got some kind of cake cover type deal and cut a door into it so that Bruce would Not Be Trapped in a fruit prison (altho truely it is the berries who are trapped in there with Bruce but none the less) and so he may go to his pent house and freak it as crazily as his little bird heart desires.
Anyway i love pets they are each distinct little guys who are carred for by the funniest ape to ever exist bc we love animal so much

Bruce getting in touch with his velociraptor roots
I was showing my class that, contrary to popular belief, divorce rates aren’t at an all-time high but actually peaked in the 80s. When I asked them why they thought divorce rates went up so quickly in the 60s-70s, none of them could guess. One guy thought it might be because of all the “free love,” drugs, etc but I told him it wasn’t all hippies getting divorces. Not a single one of them had any idea just how hard it was for women to leave an abusive marriage before the late 1960s at the earliest.
In the late 90s, having secured a permanent and full-time position as a teacher, I applied for a car loan. During the conversation with the credit union rep I was told that I was a risk because I might get married within the 5 year loan period (with the unspoken implication that if this hypothetical marriage were to occur it would immediately result in my becoming a housewife) and that, not entirely linked to the possibility of nuptials, I might also get pregnant (and again, be rendered incapable of paid work.)
I was dumbstruck.
My parents had to go guarantors for the loan. My freaking parents.
I was in my mid-20s. I had a well-paying, secure job. I was single with zero intent to marry, and even if it had been on the cards it sure as fuck wouldn’t have been to the sort of person who would immediately insist I quit my job and stay at home.
But apparently, the fact that I was a woman overshadowed all of that stuff. That single factor meant I was a risky prospect and had to get my parents to back me.
It was absolute bullshit.
Dude, women in Ireland were forced to resign from their jobs upon getting married up until 1973
In the late 60s, no-fault divorce became possible, and it spread throughout the US through the 70s.
The combination of “you do not have to prove to a [male] judge and [mostly-male] jury that your husband is abusive (without being able to afford a lawyer)” and “you can now have a bank account in your own name” did indeed kick off many, many divorces.
Divorce rates are lower now. Marriage rates are also lower now - because, again, women no longer need to get married to get access to a bank account, rent an apartment, own a car, etc.
and even with these advancements women still get paid significantly less and often remain dependent on men for stable and supportive income. that’s why i hate the “evil gold-digger” stereotype because we did not choose to be financially dependent on men. they did.
My latest project is a custom set of keyboard caps
I really love the way this post never blew up big but it never goes away. I’ve got other posts that get like 100k in a couple days, and never leave my notifications… But this one just shows up once or twice every day.
I fully expect the teeth keyboard will still be slowly circulating five years from now. Still creeping people out.
I couldn’t be prouder. Someday I’ll introduce ya’ll to the hair keyboard and you’ll know the true meaning of fear.
that’s because curses don’t just go away on their own
I don’t think holy water’s gonna work on this one
I’m a pope so I can make my own holy water. I would rather put it on the hair keyboard though, because imagine how much worse a Wet Hair Keyboard would be
I like how malignant your attitude is
Thanks! I’ve got my own malignant attitude and it works phenomenally.
is that a really low profile mechanical keyboard or a cheap flat membrane? either way i feel like this keyboard should be warm and wet, like a mouth
It’s a membrane. I think I got it from Amazon for like 17$
will riker is like. the opposite of a queercoded/baiting character. he’s hetcoded. but both jonathan frakes and all of us know he’s bi af and the show just purposefully only shows the ‘het’ encounters
I love that some people think there’s any question over whether Will Riker would fuck a guy. Will Riker would fuck an intelligent gas cloud if they laughed at his jokes there is no way details as minor as human genitals are putting that man off.
Will Riker’s orientation is DTF
Riker isn’t pan, he’s omni.
Will Riker would make sure the intelligent gas cloud came first.
This woman lives in suburbia and has an absolutely bonkers set up to excavate rock etc. She installed ventilation down there. She had a tunnel fire once. I’ve been following her for a little while. What do her neighbors think is going on? Imagine you buy a house and find a deep ass secret tunnel in the basement? She answers lots of questions in the comments, but she never answers anybody who asks “why.”
My favourite comment I saw on one of her videos was something like, “so do we have an objective or are we just expressing ourselves through tunneling?”
A bearcat (binturong) or as I’m going to call them, a long panda, are a species of viverrid similar to no other animal I have ever heard of but they’re basically one of those species that evolved into mustelids without being mustelids. And can look like cars, possums on in this case a scruffy long panda.
Being the only guy who works in a beauty store is fucking hilarious sometimes. Im the only one who can sell our shitty beard shampoo and a not insignificant amount of our customers think im untrustworthy. According to my coworkers i use every mens product we have so they can get dudes to buy a shaving cream. Trying to explain to people that theres no difference between “men’s” and “women’s” products is like talking to a brick wall. Ive had multiple women get angry with me for sampling them out one of our “men’s” moisturizers when they specifically said they wanted a mattifying one to control oil and that’s the best one we have for those two things. I still think about the guy who came in asking if we had “masks for men.” I contemplate ending it all every time someone returns a completely unused product that they absolutely refuse to try just because it either says or doesnt say “for men” on it. 90% of the time its the perfect product for them. I had a lady who was willing to buy a worse product for her needs that was more expensive just so it wouldnt say it was for men. Are you ever tired? Are you ever exhausted? These are the same kinds of people who say that im the one whos obsessed with gendering everything because im trans.
oh my god it’s laika day everyone drop what you’re doing… we honour a little dog who was sent up into space 65 years ago today. she was found as a three year old stray mongrel wandering the streets of moscow. her ability to endure hardy conditions got her chosen as the candidate for a journey she was never meant to survive. she passed away seven hours after liftoff. I hope she died dreaming of chasing rabbits up in the stars I love u laika forever and ever
Never forget, she was loved
She was not killed as an act of cruelty, or simply neglected. People cared about her, and the many space dogs who survived proves it
She was loved

great ritual for honoring Laika’s memory (from another thread)
they looked at each other and said “can you believe this woman???” 😂😂 😂

guys i am fucking crying i got an old copy of pilgrims progress from a used booksale and i just opened it and there’s a handwritten dedication to a girl from her grandfather from christmas 1888 and she put a little fucking drawing in the back and im sitting on my bed losing my fucking mind over a hundred years ago a grandpa gave this book to “miss maggie” and she loved it and it’s lasted a century and im holding it right now
i showed the book to my mom when she came home from a trip and she reminded me that in little women (1868) each of the march sisters got a copy of pilgrim’s progress under their pillow for christmas there is a high, high, HIGH chance that this little girl was a huge fan of little women and talked to her grandfather about it and he got her a classic book just like her 1880s blorbos i am flailing on the ground humanity is so special
