I’ve got another orange cat video to show....

He's got his own dinner theme

I love how he's still stretching, like he's clearly leapt up from being comfortably at rest to rush over and be like "Oh?? Dinner?? Is it time for dinner?? Dinner for me?? Dinner??"

I was hanging out with a group of ~7 people who were mostly or all poly, and mentioned reading More Than Two's examples of problems that come up in poly relationships –

"I was flipping through it and going 'this is trivial', 'this is easy', 'yeah whatever' (sometimes with unwarranted confidence) and then I hit the scenario where your partner never has sushi with you, he refuses to try it because he can tell he's going to hate it – and then he comes back from a date with one of his new partners and says, guess what, [she] got me to try sushi and it's really good! And I went –"

I did not need to finish that sentence, because there was a cacophony of groaning & agonized writhing & knees being drawn up to chins. People did NOT like imagining that

That escalated so fast I feel like I needed a safeword.

the disappearance of durian between botw and totk implies to me that somehow zelda managed to erase all durian from the timeline

Sonia handed her a fun new fruit they'd discovered and Zelda was so excited to see familiar food she ate it before anyone could tell her it was the only one

Alternatively, Zelda saw her chance to eliminate that fucking fruit Links to cook with that smells up the house and she fucking took it.

wait so the new superman animated show has clark kent transforming into superman a la magical girl anime sequence???

if your man does this that’s not your man that’s sailor moon

According to one of the show’s storyboard artists, it’s actually a reference to Pretty Cure!

Being raised by areligious jews with 0 exposure to christianity outside pop culture is so fun. One time I asked my ex-catholic friend why a picture of jesus had a bristle crown and she looked at me like I was insane. One time I heard someone mention the "lance of longinus" and responded, word for word, "Like from Evangelion?" One time during a history lesson my professor described an important monk and scholar as "Dominican" and I spent the rest of class super confused and hung up on it because I was very sure that the Dominican Republic didn't meaningfully exist as an entity back then, maybe she meant he was a native Taino or something but that's a weird way to say that and I'm pretty sure this was pre- European contact? Really fucks people up when they realize I genuinely have no idea.

This but it's my partner taking an art history class in college and the professor looking at them like they grew a second head when they answered "What came out of Jesus' wound when he was stabbed on the cross" with "...Blood?"

Additions that prove my point by mystifying me because what on earth would come out of a nail wound besides blood. Are you telling me it was something besides blood. What was jesus full of that wasn't blood. You guys are scaring me

Apparently it was water?? I guess he was also stabbed on top of being crucified (which feels like overkill imo) and water came out, which was a huge deal in medieval symbolism and also to my medieval poetry professor, who was genuinely shocked and upset that I didn’t know. This man fully docked me points because I, a whole ass Jew, hadn’t somehow heard about the secret waterballoon Jesus lore that I guess everyone is supposed to like… intuit

On the plus side, it does lead to some absolutely wild medieval Jesus art of angels tapping him like a fucking keg

a friend of a friend went to go see passion of the christ for kicks without knowing anything about the story

when jesus was hauled up on the cross he turned to my friend and said, in all evident sincerity, 'i know they're not going to kill the main character but how's jesus getting out of this one?'
