one of my favorite story elements is “character way past their prime can still absolutely wreck you, leaving you to wonder just how powerful they used to be”
Do you know how hard it is to live with a cat that has the intelligence level of literally like a 3 year old but the pure chaos of a high ranking demon?
He’s learned to open the lazy Susan and won’t stop clawing open the flour and rolling in it like a little chinchilla
Criminal charges
Hey hey hey HEY
He’s been CRAWLING INTO THE BOTTOM CABINETS to TEAR OPEN THE INSTANT POTATOES and EAT BAGS AND BAGS OF THEM I’m livid but also impressed.
Do you have anything with that kind of texture that he can safely play with? This sounds like an understimulation issue.
He’s not playing with it
He’s eating it.
I can tell because the bags are nearly empty except for a few small clumps.
I knew he loves mashed potatoes. I just didn’t know the extent he’d go to to get them.
We had him tested and in the course of that vet visit he stole
6 tips
3 of the ear light cover things
Our other cats collar
the ear bud of the vets stethoscope 
several hearts
a plastic glove
the vet techs hair tie
Also yeah he’s fine he just likes to steal
Not guilty by reason of deficiency of other people’s stuff
This is his ledge
His ledge is taller then my husband who is 6’2”
I am 5’5”
I have to get the step ladder out once a week and see what Orange Sherbert has taken to his ledge for safe keeping. It’s usually the remote.
Narratively speaking, ending this saga with the reveal that his name is Orange Sherbert was a masterstroke.
As of 12/8/21, Kellogg’s has broken off negotiations with their striking union workers and is electing to permanently replace the strikers. So needless to say, don’t support strike breaking: don’t buy Kellogg’s products. Besides breakfast cereals, Kellogg’s makes Cheez-Its, Pringles, and owns Kashi. I’m sure there’s more that I’m not aware of, so if the hive mind wants to add to the list, please do.
TL;DR Don’t buy Kellogg’s products
a list of all brands owned by kellogg’s
Just to add, workers are posting and reposting lists like this, memes, videos of people calling for boycotts in supermarkets, signs calling for boycotts on food items on shelves, etc., on the rank and file Facebook page (@kelloggstrike on FB). The workers are 100% asking people to boycott all Kellogg’s products.
In the beginning of the strike BCTGM were saying to only boycott non-US produced foods (which imo is anti-solidaristic, but it was the only instruction being given from the worker representation).
Now, workers have rejected the proposed (bribe) contract that explicitly denied their main strike demand: an end to the two-tier contract system; they’ve been outright calling for a general boycott, and people should definitely take their cue from what the rank and file are asking for.
And ofc keep donating to strike funds and show support on social media and/or in person if you’re near one of the picket lines!
Look we all want a robo dog but if you kill someone with a sledgehammer to steal theirs, they are going to find you. There’s no way a 75k$ dog doesn’t have gps
we are killing the dog
NO.
ALL DOGS ARE PRECIOUS.
Even robot ones.
its not a dog, its a machine used and designed for police surveillance and the entire reason they made it dog shaped is so idiots like you would go “awwww robot dog how precious” instead of seeing them as the oppressive tools they are.
we’re killing the fucking dog
That’s not a robot dog.
It’s a four-legged robot spider.
It is not a dog, a spider, a chicken, a horse, a fish, a tick, a mosquito, a tapeworm or a baby
It is a weapon
There is nothing morally wrong about breaking weapons that are hurting people for any reason other than to prevent those people from hurting others worse
the dog robots are fully capable of hurting people, and badly. failsafes that would prevent that have not been installed. the police are deploying a thing out in public that can maim anyone who touches it wrong.
look, when i was a kid i was passionately in love with the idea of robots–that humans would one day create another sort of intelligence to share our world with– and believed very firmly that we should respect and protect all our robot friends from the start, so there would be no violent humans-against-robots revolution or anything.
anyway it turns out that the people trying to keep end-stage capitalism running are really banking on us feeling more love for the robots than for the kind of people they’re going to be using the robots to oppress.
so like. maybe lets all agree right now that if a robot is being used to hurt a person, you need to smash the fucking robot. they’re going to make the robots really cute. they’re going to show us so many movies about how much robots need to be loved. and then they are going to use robots to hurt people.
“there is no such thing as ,jewish features, because Judaism is a multicultural and multiethnic religious group and has been so for over two millennia. there are no ,jewish features, because there can be Jews from any ethnicity” and “there are features (like thick curly hair or a big nose) that have been associated with judaism and are not ~typical european~ features, that are common within European jews. these features has been mocked, villainized, deemed unattractive and were linked to witchcraft and being demonic or evil, and are still used to dehumanize Jews and differentiate us” are two coexisting truths.
Honestly the queue and schedule post options on Tumblr are extremely underrated. No other major social networking site has the ability to do that with the same ease as Tumblr does, and we’ve had them for like a decade now. They’re fantastic features and Tumblr doesn’t get enough credit for having them.
I’m actually willing to assert that Tumblr actually has some of the best site functionality:
- queue/schedule system
- tagging that doesn’t interfere with the actual content of posts
- the ask/inbox system
- ability to make likes/following lists private
- ability to reblog posts multiple times
- the “Keep Reading” feature
- ability to easily post different media. AFAIK Tumblr is the only social media site that lets you post audio without it being a video.
You will drink more water if it tastes good. I’m dead serious. Throw some mint in there, throw some lemon or strawberry or a little flavor packet. Your brain likes things that taste good.
You know why people like lemonade? Flavored water
You know why people like tea? Flavored water
You know why people like koolaid? Flavored water
People like flavored water. Brains like flavored water. It’s like being forced to choose between a rock or a rock with glitter on it. You want the glitter rock
I am once again telling you to drink water
And to absolutely FUCK OFF if you’re going to be a dick on this post
There are some FANTASTIC infuser water bottles for sale these days. Here are some things I have used mine with:
Basil: AVOID. You will be astonished how quickly it overpowers literally everything else and it’s bitter. You think you want some kind of basil blend. You don’t.
Mint: you will need more than you think. No, more than that. More.
Strawberry: v good but only do this if you have a way to keep the water very cold, otherwise it kinda tastes slimy.
Apple: surprisingly good. You’d think the water wouldn’t pick up the flavor much, but it does. Add a tiny bit of honey and oh. My. G-d.
Lime: you need much less than you think for MUCH LESS TIME than you think. I put a single key lime in 32oz of water for six hours and ended up with a limeade concentrate. CONCENTRATE. That 32oz made like four pitchers’ worth. It tastes great but ONLY USE A LITTLE!! It’s like the opposite of mint, you need maybe, MAYBE one or two slices and only leave it in there for an hour or two. You can always infuse it longer if it’s not strong enough for you but you cannot un-infuse it.
Oranges: brb jaunting off to Olympus to ask Zeus if this is what “the nectar of the gods” was.
Citrus mix: you will never drink anything but this, ever again. Everything else will pale by comparison. You will yearn for it.
Grapes: great in theory. Did not work at all. I used black grapes. If you like green grapes, it might be worth trying but honestly I would warn you to expect disappointment.
Blueberries: I hate blueberries and tried this on the advice of a coworker who told me it would taste different than regular blueberries. It did not, but I guess if you like blueberries that’d be a good thing.
Peaches: this one was so weird. Not because it tasted bad. Quite the contrary. It tasted EXACTLY LIKE BITING INTO A PEACH and my brain was very confused. I kept trying to chew the water. So like, 11/10 on flavor, but expect your brain to be like the meme of the lady with the mathematical formulas.
There are many delicious options. Go forth. Discover them.
