Maine?? Hello?

LET'S GOOOO SOCUALISM WIN!!!

I live in a city with a municipal, publicly owned power company. It rules.

I moved across the stateline and got to switch from private to public power and my electric bill became 1/3 what it had been. Meanwhile, across the stateline, the private power utility is trying to force the entirety of KCMO onto a variable rate system that will spike your bill based on if the cost of energy spikes.

I hope Mainers nationalize the shit out of their power utility! Every state & every town should!

so uh. Was anyone going to tell me that the pink fairy armadillo is only six inches long

littlest babey......

There's also the Greater Fairy Armadillo, which is frustratingly difficult to find good pictures of

Like I get the funny haha that saving 5k is difficult but I also must stress that line has also aged significantly with the context of what that $5000 is for.

That 5k in savings is for down payment on a house.

Can we all just appreciate that Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls, was prank calling Republican voter fraud hotlines on November 6, 2020?

Ok i scrolled past the first post about this and so this is the second one I saw, but they both fail to mention HE CALLED IN USING CHARACTER VOICES

[first clip]

Woman: This is a hotline to report instances of voter fraud.

Alex Hirsch, in the voice of Soos Ramírez: Okay, yeah, I saw what I believe is a voter fraud situation?

Woman: Can you please describe it for me?

Hirsch: Um... so I saw a man, uh... he walked into this- this building. Uh, and he was wearing a black- he had a, a black hat, black mask, a striped... shirt and a, uh, red tie. And, um... I believe there were hamburgers in his bag? And he was saying "robble robble," as he was exiting the building? Like a burglar.

Woman: [unintelligible]

Hirsch: Y'know, I think- I think he's probably antifa. Can I speak to Rudy Giuliani?

[dial tone]

[second clip]

Alex Hirsch, in the voice of Stanley "Stan" Pines: Hi, I'd like to report an incident of voter fraud.

Woman: Uh, yes sir.

Hirsch: Yeah, so I, um- I committed some voter fraud. I'm very proud of it, and I'd like to tell Mr. Rudy Giuliani about it.

Woman, in a flat tone: Great. Um. Awesome.

Hirsch: My name is Stan Pines. P-I-N-E-E-S. You got that down?

Woman: ...Yes.

Hirsch: So, y'know, I- I went in there and, uh, I had a big ol' sack. And I just started, just takin' ballots out of the box. And I, y'know, I- I didn't even- I didn't even try to hide it. I waved to the crowd, I blew them kisses. And uh, y'know, I think I'm kind of a local hero and I'd, uh, I'd like Rudy to give me a medal or somethin'.

[dial tone]

Hirsch, corpsing: She hung up on me!

Not a morning triangle

One thing I hate in the age of the Internet is parents coming online to vent frustrations about their children in a really negative and public way. It’s normal frustrations parents would have with a kid but they’re like “My kid said they were too tired to clean up after their friend came over and was a total pain in the ass and threw a tantrum so I made her go to bed without any entertainment. She’s such a princess and she really gets on my nerves.” “My kid won’t fucking eat anything because he’s such a little shit picky eater and I hate cooking for him.”

And it’s like. I understand being a parent is hard. But maybe vent these frustrations to your fellow parent friends or family members after your kids have gone to sleep. If your kid finds these videos later on, they’re going to be really fucking hurt by them. I was convinced my parents hated me as a kid (undiagnosed autism, trauma and anxiety caused so much miscommunication between us) and if I heard my mom speaking about me the way some of these parent influencers talk about their kids, it would have fucking destroyed me.

Then when people in the comments are like “Hey, this isn’t a very nice thing to share about your child online.” or “Maybe try [COMMUNICATION TACTIC] to avoid this happening again?” the OP gets fucking pissed at them. Because they WANT their child to be the villain in this story. They don’t want resolutions. They don’t want suggestions. They don’t want the people they overshared to to take the side of the child in the story.

when i tell you i had an aneurysm

"Average canyon is full of arachnids" factoid actually just a statistical anomaly. Average canyon has a normal amount of arachnids. Spider Gorge-

one thing about me is when i read or watch something and there's an evil child or some sort of monster who was born a monster i'm always going to side with the monster. sorry about your loser parents i would have loved you. skill issue

happy 'the person who i thought looked like F turned his head but his expression looked more like he was reacting to the sound I made rather than hearing someone say his name' sunday

something i feel like queer ppl have been steadily forgetting over the last ten years or so is that “genderqueer” isn’t a specific nonbinary term, or even a synonym for nonbinary - it’s an umbrella term that encompasses nonbinariness and more. 

any flavour of trans (yes including “binary trans”)? you can call yourself genderqueer. fem, butch, androgynous, drag artist, crossdresser, or in any other way gnc? you can also use genderqueer. detrans but not in a radfem death cult kind of way? you too can be genderqueer. “i guess i’m basically cis but my other queer identity impacts my gender in a way that’s hard to put into words-” genderqueer!

it’s entirely acceptable and normal to be genderqueer but not nonbinary or genderqueer but not trans. it means literally nothing but “i’ve got a gender that’s queer” and it fucking rules we should use it so much more

This!  There was a period of time where this was well known and understood and then suddenly the genderqueer umbrella was closed up into a word synonymous with nonbinary. I’d just about given up fighting to get that umbrella back open, or at least remind people that it was once much more open.

Damn, best articulation of my feelings towards my gender I’ve come across. Thanks, OP.

Today I saw a pic of a baby cowbird next 2 its nest "parent" and it was so much bigger!!!!! Which is the sort of thing that gets normal people upset about the injustice of nest parasitism but makes *me* worry if baby cowbirds get bird dysmorphia

This (from Cornell Labs via Merlin) is the pic I was looking at. It's just a little baby but it's so much bigger than its "parent"!!!! Do baby cowbirds feel isolated? Do they understand they're a different bird, or are they just a really bad sparrow?

hey, good news! ecologists have been studying this very thing! it seems young cowbirds have some kind of innate sense that leads them to sneak out of their foster nest at night to hang out in grasslands where they—more often than not—meet other cowbirds and learn more about what they really are.

Thanks I am going to cry so hard I throw up ;-;

some people are taking "doomed" to mean "dead". this is actually a misconception! you can be doomed even if you don't die! it's sometimes worse if you don't die!

Sounds like something a wizard mocking another wizard for their poorly written spellbook would say
