When did I break 800 followers? Also, why do y'all follow me?!
We're at 944 by the way. What is wrong with you people?
Okay, I have a request. Drop in the replies what, if you remember, drew you to my page and why you followed.
"This story is a tragedy because it didn't have to end this way."
vs
"This story is a tragedy because it was always going to end this way."
I submit for your consideration:
'this story is a tragedy because along the way we got just enough glimpses of alternate timelines and barely-averted prophecies to know that somehow, the way it turned out is the best it could have gone'
The somewhat distant cousin would be "this story is a tragedy because the only things that could have changed the outcome would have made it come full circle to a comedy again."
The situation is so shit, and has such an unsatisfying resolution, the only way things could have gone worse would have actually somehow made things suck less for the protagonist.
The only remaining bad things that could have happened would be to the antagonist, and the protag is so thoroughly scorned by the end of things they receive even the smallest glint of closure as a result instead the protag doesn't even get the vindication that their suffering was not in vain, and that's just the final middle finger the universe could have rendered.
letting the alcoholism gene win tonight and getting absolutely shitfaced due to anxietity
Remember to hydrate. I hope you feel better tomorrow.
Psst hey Jenni can I interest you in some dog photos and/or videos?
Hey now! I thought it was sweet you're helping your friend promote her Only Fans page, but you can't resort to calling her names. Yes, you and I both know she's not going to win any beauty contests and I gave up long ago trying to figure out how someone can only have one bull leg, but calling her a dog? That's uncalled for. It's not her fault when she was born, the doctor turned around and slapped her mother. The best thing we can do is offer support and encouragement. If her dream is to be a magazine cover model, who are we to crush it even though she has way better odds appearing on "Fangora" rather than "Vogue."
But if you're talking about actual dog photos and videos @silent-calling, as long as you don't bombard me, absolutely. Just keep in mind I'm around dogs five days a week. After a long day, sometimes you don't want to see hundreds of work-related items. *lol* But yeah, it's cool. :)
*great big squishy 'Although I've still never met anyone else Glamour Shots refused to serve' hugs*
Okay great, because we got a new baby a week ago and she had her first vet checkup today.
Meet Pippa, feat. Dennis in the upper left there.
Also, I had no clue you worked with dogs. That's awesome!
Oh my God! She's so cute! Those cute wittle eyes! Oh, my heart! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I can see why you adopted her into the family, @silent-calling. Congratulations! She wound up in a great home. Hopefully her vet visit went well. Please give her a hug for me. 😍
Yep, I own and operate a dog grooming shop, so while I don’t have a precious baby of my own, I do get to play and pamper dogs all day long. 😄
Her vet visit went wonderfully! She was a very good girl, and got absolutely spoiled rotten with treats and love for it. And! She has a clean bill of health! We go back in a couple weeks to finish up her vaccinations and maybe see about a nail trim, and she'll be good to go.

honestly the skullgirls censorship is 100% okay, good even.
It really isn't.
Censorship is a constantly advancing tide and without pushback it will eventually come for the artists and art you like. The only way you can stop this is to stand against censorship, even of art you dislike or find distasteful.
There are only specific cases where art has to be curtailed and it has nothing to do with offense or discomfort. It has everything to do with if real people are being harmed. And even then, these aren't clear cut because what constitutes 'harm' is a scale.
This isn't even touching on the fact that censoring and changing the paid digital artbook is extremely scummy. Remember, people bought the art book for the guest art (removed) and concept art (censored). It highlights the problem with digital media and how companies can (and will) erase things in acts of revisionism at the cost of accuracy, the consumer and authenticity.
And then there's the fact that Skullgirls was crowdfunded. People funded the game based on expectations; expectations that are being violated. Stretch goals that were met and added to the game are now being removed. How is that appropriate?
The Skullgirls debacle is bad. It is bad from a censorship point of view. It is bad from a media history point of view. It is bad from a consumer point of view.
As an artist and someone concerned with good consumer practices, this is an abhorrent situation.
Nothing about it is good. Please, sit down and reconsider your position. Saying "censorship is good" should be an immediate red flag that you are not one of the good guys.
Nah removing nazi imagery is always good
No you numbskull, it's not.
The Canopy Kingdom is very much the bad guy here. They're a corrupt authoritarian autocracy and the Egrets are jack-booted militant thugs sanctioned by the government. It was a direct comparison to Nazi Germany, and it wasn't glamorizing them at all - the arm band was specifically meant to evoke the "we're the bad guys" imagery, and now the comparison is more strained overall.
By removing the imagery, regardless of context in presentation, you also inadvertently erase the negative portrayals by trying to minimize the positive. This is like Hellsing being remastered, but any time a Millennium Nazi shows up on screen their arm band is replaced with a slick sleeve, despite the arm band being there to elicit that visceral response that comes with comparing the group in question to one of the most famously evil groups to ever exist.
This is unnecessary sanitization of media, and it's kind of very gross.
FSB, the successor to KGB, gained access to Signal and WhatsApp.
Not the messages specifically, but the way encrypted traffic moves. This allows FSB to track who you talk to, where you send the messages from, monitor your social circle and even know how many phones you have.
I know I still have some followers in Russia, so, guys, stay on your toes.
It’s Fourth of July Eve so make sure to leave some milk and cookies out for Captain America
I THOUGHT AFTER FOUR YEARS YOU PEOPLE WOULD LET THIS DIE AND YET AGAIN I OPEN THIS CURSED APP TO FIND MORE NOTES ON THIS POST
Hi Elon: please add a decreasing counter bar in the corner of the screen so I know how many posts left I can view. Because having a health bar on twitter would be the only funny thing you can do right now
Funny how that works
I am so pleased at how many notes are some version of “I don’t fear the science, I fear the corporations who control it” because that is EXACTLY the attitude you should have. GMOs can save us. Monsanto will kill us.
what people fear about GMO- ‘theyre gonna make frankencarrots that crave human flesh and cause diarrhea ’ what GMO actually is- ‘we made rice crop that is both drought resistant and flood resistant which will prevent about 20% of major famine disasters, also it now makes vitamin A because vitamin A deficiency in poverty stricken areas is a major killer of kids as most vitamin A rich foods dont grow there’ what people SHOULD be upset about- ‘i made all crops sterile so all farmers have to buy the seed from me in perpetuity and i will sue anyone who tries to go back to crops that produce their own seed’

There’s probably a German compound word for that feeling you get at 2am when you’re single in your mid twenties and the creeping doubt that you’ve somehow missed your only chance at love because you didn’t meet someone in college and now it’s too late
The german word you are looking for is ‘Torschusspanik’
Germans got a word for fucking EVERYTHING.
German is like the dictionary of obscure sorrows
Germany is a place of obscure sorrows
The American government can't even function.
'The deep state isn't real, that's just crazy conspiracy talk'
'The government can run just fine without a president'
Makes you wonder if we even need a government in the first place?
And anytime you hear this argument, pose this question:
If the government is running without the President, then just who is running the government?
Same people who have always been running it--they're not on the ballot.
Sees who wrote this tweet
I should call him
Me when my werewolf boyfriend
*touching your fandom-related tattoos* promise youll stop for me 🥺
fuck you
respect this or get the hell out of my life
hey so jsyk the op is being a butthurt little baby about this post and is probably an ablesit piece of shit given how they’re not even considering all the autistic people in the replies explaining that they have special interests.
I encourage all of you to spam them with your fandom tattoos
tbh I thought about getting a tattoo of a stylized The Ram helmet, but I really like that Hunter crest too
😏
I have to be predictable
I mean I fully intend my first tattoo to be Sloth's homunculus mark, so, relatable.
