They like to sleep on the bathroom rug.
I don’t really know exactly why I had to do this but I had to. The geometry commanded me and I obeyed.
Does this count as @animals-with-fan-art ?

American friends: If you are so convicted to donate to food banks during the ending of SNAP benefits, as someone who worked in nonprofit, please know it is much more impactful to donate MONEY than it is to donate food. Food banks can order items in bulk and get them tax free, and it gives them the flexibility to order what they need.
Check on your neighbors, help each other out 🙏🏻
Someone may have already put this in the notes, but if you're donating money to a food bank, and they're a tax-deductible charity and your employer offers matching donations, please look into that! I completely forgot until this post came around that this was an option. I just went in and submitted my receipt, which automatically doubled the $100 I sent to my local food bank to $200. This will really stretch the amount of food that they are able to buy at no additional cost to you.
Where's that one video of the guy yelling "One dollar's worth of food, coming through!" as he pushes an enormous pallet of vegetables?
When I donated $50, the splash page informed me I had donated ?? FIVE HUNDRED (500) ?!?! MEALS???!!!

People who are hard on yourselves: may I humbly offer you the 100 floors of frights philosophy?
In the SNL David S. Pumpkins sketch, a couple is on a ride called "100 Floors of Frights," where they see a different scare on each floor, and at one point they complain about many of those floors being lame. And then Kenan Thompson delivers this line of deep philosophical wisdom: "Hey look—it's 100 floors of frights, they not all gonna be winners."
My husband and I use this line all the time to give ourselves grace. For instance, I'm a good cook, but when I make a dinner that doesn't turn out well, I will literally say out loud, "It's 100 floors of frights—they're not all gonna be winners," or just "Look it's 100 floors of frights."
It just means when you do a thing a whole lot, there's bound to be some instances that are bad. You don't have to be good at the thing 100% of the time. You can't be good 100% of the time. Some of the 100 floors are gonna suck. It doesn't negate your skill at creating the rest of the 100 floors.
You can use this for anything: art you make, performances, school assignments, days at work, outfits, sex sessions, literally anything that you are too hard on yourself about when it doesn't go great. Listen to Kenan Thompson and remember that it's impossible for them all to be winners, and that's okay.
My husband and I use the phrase this way ALL THE TIME. It's helpful!

for those who aren't aware, jamaica is about to experience its worst storm in history with a catagory 5 hurricane for at least a full day. i only ask that you keep jamaica in your thoughts, and if you have a bit of spare money, contribute some money to families, because they are absolutely gonna get destroyed
Greater Fort Lauderdale Diaper Bank (many of whose employees have roots in Jamaica) is collecting monetary and (if nearby) physical donations.
Please also visit this website for information about local shelters and donations!

This is the most pompous pretentious thing I will ever post here, but it’s true:
doing a complex piece of writing is like painting. You can’t just do it in one sitting, or two, or five. You have to do it patiently, incrementally, in small, painstaking layers. You can’t rush it or force it. You just have to add a little shading here a little highlight there until it becomes the beautiful thing it is.
Anyway I’m done imma go give myself a swirly in retribution for writing this pretentious-sounding shit publicly.
You know what? This is neither pompous nor pretentious. It’s the damn truth. Like my proposal for book 2 is FINALLY getting good after weeks of painstaking, lackluster crap.
@slytherkins I’m the same. I think about it like “ok I need to tear out those stitches and knit these two sections together and then I need weld together chapters 2 and 3 woo ok”
this is why it drives me bonkers to tutor students in the era of AI and have them say things to me like "well i know what my ideas are but AI can put it into words for me." like i cannot emphasize the degree to which none of us know what our ideas are until we write them meticulously over time. the writing is the thinking.
YES
Generative AI is so fucking terrifying and makes us all so much more vulnerable to a technofascist coup hahahahahah

I've gotta say, for a place called 'Silent Hill', it's pretty noisy with all those sirens going off all the time and stuff. Two stars.
'Lake Placid' basically lived up to it's name right until the point when that giant crocodile started thrashing about. Three and a half stars.
Just signed in at the 'Overlook Hotel' and I've literally got the entire place to myself. Looks like all the other holidaymakers did indeed overlook this place, so I've finally found an aptly-titled getaway.
Update: It seems that not only the staff, but also God himself has overlooked this hotel as well. One and a half stars.

The thing I love about chocolate guy is the sincere effort he puts into his little videos and how he shows all of it. Most short form content tries to bait you with a fake pic of the end result (or a completely different product), trying to sell you on their hacks and easy recipes.
What Amaury shows is that if you want a crazy result you need a crazy amount of effort and knowledge, and that's fine! It's okay if you don't have the expertise a pro has, that's why we pay them! Because we value their craft.
I don't know, I feel his videos refreshing amidst the constant barrage of "supposedly easy to replicate fake recipes" and "showing off amazing results with basically zero process". Like yeah, he did that, and we can see how he does it and admire the technique that goes into his craft, and I think that's beautiful
You watch him take 30 seconds to make a little something, and it's like oh, how charming! And then he snaps his fingers and there's 200 of them in a bucket, and you're like oh man, so you've been doing this all afternoon, huh? And then he snaps his fingers again and there's 10 buckets, and you're like oh you and your entire kitchen have been doing this for 2 days. Well then. Damn.
And you realize you're 30 seconds into a 2 minute video and he's getting the airbrush out. When he bites into one of those little treats at the end of the video, that man has earned every delicious flavor he's put into it.

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.
The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"
For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.
The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.
The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

His name is António Fernandes, and you can find the original article where he spoke about this event here
This elderly gentleman lives alone in Porto, when he saw the march coming up his street all he knew was he wanted to participate, so he ran home to get the only flag he had to wave as they passed by, when they did he was overcome with emotion and called over one of the activists, they hugged and exchanged flags, he felt so overwhelmed that he could only hold it and cry.
This isn't a story about a closeted elderly man, António lives and has been living alone for many years now and that little moment made him feel included in something for the first time in many years.
Says the article:
"The act was "of support”, guarantees the man, especially because “each one is as they are and we are all the same”. “The joy I felt at this moment. I cried,” he recalled, still emotional when looking at the photograph offered to him during this report.
However, even though it reached thousands of people, the moment screams a feeling of belonging, of joy and also a portrait of loneliness as a consequence of aging.
Behind that door, whose image spread across the country, António is the portrait of a condition that affects many others like him. He lives alone, but the walls of his home are full of memories of a life shared and full of love. “Memories I preserve,” he stresses.
He's not gay, nor does he need to be to support and respect the cause.
“We all have the same color blood. We are all the same.”
Still with an emotional look glued to the photograph that immortalized his gesture at the march, António remembers: “I felt embraced by all of them”. After a sigh, he says: “See this photo? I want to take it to my coffin.”
