a series of hyperfixations

dragon-in-a-fez:

really fucking boils my cabbages when the right is completely correct that something is a problem in society they’re just hyperbolically stupid about why.

eg falling birth rates are not a problem because something something the future of the white race and they’re a sign that modern women aren’t sufficiently interested in staying home and making babies. they are however a problem because a society with no economic safety net is not prepared to manage a demographic shift toward having more retired people than working people and they’re a sign that millions of adults in 2026 do not feel financially stable enough to add to their families

thinking about “you haven’t met all the people who will love you” and like!!! you also haven’t found all the things that will make you happy!!!! there will always be new authors and musicians and artists whose work you will one day discover and love!!!! there will always be new hobbies and skills for you to learn and feel fulfilled by!!! there will always be new things around the corner that will bring sudden and unexpected happiness!!!!!!!!!!!

“At my old job in public education, my office mate invented the concept of the 8 Weeks of Doom. This was defined as the period between New Year’s and Spring Break where it was dark and gray, there were few holidays, and everyone’s seasonal depression hit an all-time high. To combat the 8 Weeks of Doom, she started a tradition of making me a Doom Calendar, which is an advent calendar but for fighting the Doom. She’d include small fidgets, snacks, stickers, and fun tea, which I’d open whenever the Doom felt very high on a particular day. Eventually this turned into a standing tradition of us making each other Doom Calendars, and the concept spread to our whole department. We would eventually just start our department meetings checking in about how everyone was managing the Doom, and did anyone want to open a Doom Calendar door for a quick pick me up? Even though we’re not longer office mates, I still exchange a Doom Calendar with this friend every year anyway. It really does help with the Doom!”

— Ask a Manager

I adore this for the same reason I like winter celebrations/special days: humans realizing they can act to change their perception of reality. The longest dark, the coldest time of the year, can be dressed up as a party with lights and shiny things, or firecrackers and dancing wearing a lion costume. We can clean and make music and loud noises and give each other nice things and if we all do it very hard, together, maybe we won’t be so cold and sad.

I’ve just been introduced to hand crank chargers and now I’m laughing hysterically.

Cause I’m imagining Celine, who’s about to begin training the Huntrix girls for real, finds out about their existence and decides yes, this is a genius invention.

And she proceeds to give Rumi, Zoey, and Mira one of these hand crank chargers and just goes, “If you want to use your phones, have fun with these.” (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

Two birds with one stone. She gets to limit their screen time while also training their arm muscles.

Except Zoey, the chronically online enjoyer that she is, proceeds to go absolute ham with this thing. Nothing’s stopping her from watching Sunlight Sister videos even when she’s living with one.

Her shin-kal throws become like missiles and Celine pats herself on the back.

I’ve been slowly working on illustrating my own Tarot deck about black cats.

I have a long way to go, but I’m nearly done with the major arcana.

Here are some of my favorites:

I set myself a design challenge (as I often do). I wanted to limit the color palette and the brush styles to create a very consistent look.

And since each card focuses on black cats, it forces me to think deeply about symbolism and design to make sure the meaning of each card is clear and each design is unique.

But there’s still a lot of variety coming through. It’s not all class, or all silliness - just like cats

I have a forearm tattoo of the cats in this one ☝️

I’m so happy with how both of these two managed to feel dark, but adorable at the same time.

And then there’s this one absolute diva:

Most of these used my own feline friends for reference.

There are more but I don’t know yet how many I want to share online. If I can actually complete the entire deck I would love to have it made. But I have a ways to go, so for now I continue to chip away, one card at a time.

Time for a quarterly reminder not to touch bats, even if your country has claimed to “eradicate rabies.” Because they only ever eradicated rabies lyssavirus, which was never even in bats in the Old World in the first place. All the other rabies causing lyssaviruses found in bats in places like Australia, Europe, and Asia are still there.

Germany has three viruses that cause rabies. The UK has two. Australia has one. They have even found rabid Japanese pipistrelle bats.

Please love and respect bats, they are so amazing for the ecosystem! Just don’t touch them.
