I learned yesterday that my cat has gingivitis. Gotta start brushing her teeth!

my cat nona every time i so much as look her way :3

i am hooting and hollering for this for you hoppet

I do think the borderline scorn toward allies, in addition to just like kinda sucking, was a horrible tactical move that set things back pretty badly (and like tbc I was totally on that bandwagon back in the day, I am not immune to social trends).

I think there's been a lot of nuance lost in the sense of like.... "It is not anyone's personal responsibility to praise an ally for being an ally" is true, but that is NOT the same thing as "allies should perpetually be on thin ice and shouldn't get praise for anything short of heroism and if they want to feel good about doing small good things that's proof that deep down they suck actually"

To the extent that anyone "deserves" anything, people deserve praise for doing positive things whether that's doing the dishes or deciding to stick up for marginalized people whose circumstances they might not viscerally understand. We are all just silly little monkeys made of meat and positive feedback has really consistent effects on our little monkey brains! That tiny little tickle of reward for doing the bare minimum makes people want to do the bare minimum more, and makes it easier/more appealing to take bigger steps past that bare minimum!

decadence....

I would also like to know this. I eat them a lot but I don't know the information. The best ones I've had are from this crunchy organic co-op and they call them satsuma mandarins there, they're sold individually instead of in the big bags. they're really noticeably better than any others I've ever had

I'm not allowed to get the shingles vaccine because they limit it to older folks but man I'd really love to not get shingles (I was of the last generation to get "chicken pox parties" as kids)

I did finally get my TDaP booster last year. I should really catch up on the others.

i miss my kitty :( I miss my little baby girl

oh gorgeous! I love when they have that triangle-pointy siamese cat style face... it's good

i been reading books again lately! i saw someone recommend a trick of, you keep a book you want to read in your bathroom, and then don't take your phone into the bathroom with you. it worked shockingly well basically immediately.

things were really really bad for a really long while but they seem to slowly be getting better, fingers crossed that that trend continues

which ones you been into lately?

my roommate has been watching stream VODs of the first bunch of ace attorney games and she's been loving it. is 6 the one with the orca?

ohhhh i didn't realize they were redubbing them! I was very very fond of the digimon movie english dub back in the day but I've always kind of wanted to see the actual story (but with the voice actors I know)

if only they would release a version with the corrected dub but keeping the ska-ass soundtrack.....

ohhhh I really like Tattle.... Tattletale for long.... that's going on the list

ive been playing pokemon alpha sapphire on my 3ds and it's so nice, it's just a little thing, the switch is too bulky for me to comfortably play it handheld for any real length of time

I laughed at the TLDR :P Doing the good work

I'm glad you tried a thing and are learning more about yourself. I feel the thing of, like-- my relationship to gender doesn't align super well with most of the currently accepted mainstream-within-this-bubble gender theory stuff. I sometimes like to describe myself as "queering the cis-trans binary."

The framing that radfems should be high fiving over Biological Males taking feminizing hormones, victory over maleness.... god I'd never thought of that. That's extremely funny.

I wished good things for cohost, it was doing a lot of neat stuff. I made an account and poked around but I've been down this road before so I was waiting to see if it stood the test of time (and also I'm still on tumblr lol). I always want these kinds of projects to succeed even when they're not quite for me, more places for people to choose between is better than fewer. It's sad. I really hope someone figures out how to sustain a non-tiny modern social media site that isn't owned by a huge megacorp someday. Or that the culture shifts enough that "pay $/month to be allowed to upload images" becomes a normal thing people don't balk at (can't imagine this happening but who knows)

When tumblr finally dies someday I'll be so fucking sad. In that event I really want there to be somewhere to go to that isn't another twitter clone. F

I saw this for my area today but the banner is gone now.... it might be pretty funny to go to a wikipedia event tbh....

tbh i would just call her a himbo too but i understand that for many situations this may not be an acceptable approach
