I’m literally crying with laughter over this

HIS LITTLE DANCE AT THE END IS SO WORTH IT

HEY.

HEY YALL.

USAMERICAN DEMOCRATS SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED EVERY ANTITRANS RIDER FROM EVERY FUNDING BILL

Spread the fucking word because LORD knows democrats fucking suck at spreading it themselves and will fail once again to inform their base

But just in case you’re sitting there going “the Dems aren’t doing anything,” THEY ARE

IT IS JUST SLOW

AND MOSTLY INVISIBLE

BUT THEY ARE

I HADD to draw this scene after i saw it included!! It's one of my fav scenes in the novel where wwx smooches lwj!

Non-croc post for a change of pace Since it came up in a conversation I ended up googling if the rhinos in the Salzburg Zoo get out in Winter and not only do they, it also makes for some impressive photos Images by Manuel Bukovics

I highly recommend going to the zoo when the weather is "bad" i.e. raining, snowy, cold, windy etc. not just because the crowds are way smaller, but because different animals are active in different kinds of weather, and not necessarily the ones you'd think. Most critters take it easy during summer so they don't over heat, which is when most people go to the zoo, but are way more active the rest of the year

In Colorado the big cats, elephants and hoofstock LOVE when it snows and are out playing instead of taking an all-day heat siesta. The primates, birds and for some reason the anteater eally like the high wind days. Bears, hippos and a lot of the smaller mammals like porcupines and red pandas love the rain.

I also recommend going to any nighttime activities or zoo sleepovers for the same reasons: many of these animals are straight-up nocturnal. Bigs cats, hyenas, wild canines, hippos, rhinos and a weird number of birds including penguins tend to be more active at night.

important stats from that article about why calling local leaders matters:

One phone call = 100-1,000 angry voters.

One personal email = 10-50 voters.

One form letter = maybe 1 voter, if they even count it.

This is the economy of political pressure. Individualized contact influences 94% of congressional offices on undecided issues. Mass email campaigns? 18%. Petitions? Worthless.

But here's the secret that changes everything: State officials are sitting ducks.

State Comptrollers generally receive 5-10 constituent calls per month. State Treasurers? Many have never experienced a coordinated campaign. District Attorneys? Only hear from victims and lawyers, not voters. State Legislators? They average 20-30 contacts per week.

The magic happens at these thresholds:

10 calls in an hour = staff notices.

50 calls in a day = emergency meeting.

100 calls in a day = office shuts down to handle it.

500 calls in a week = policy change consideration.

1,000 calls = historical precedent shows this forces action.

Constituent contact increases legislator support probability by 12-20%. The Net Neutrality campaign's 1.3 million calls changed federal policy. The ACA defense campaign's 6,000 calls prevented repeal. At the state level, you need 100x fewer calls for the same impact.

this fantastic article has sample scripts for what to say about ICE in your state and city, as well as what to ask for to help your city and state fight federal over-reach where you live

we can win this fight, but we need to fight. I know on a personal level how hard it can be to make calls, especially to politicians, but we've reached a point that if we don't, the slippery slope into the chasm of tyranny becomes a cliff

WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY (2025) dir. rian johnson

This map illustrates the early global migrations of Homo sapiens—our species’ remarkable journey from Africa to every inhabitable continent. Tracing movements that began over hundreds of thoussands of years ago, it highlights how small bands of early humans ventured out of eastern Africa and gradually spread across the globe. These migrations unfolded in waves, shaped by shifting climates, coastlines…

It’s extremely important that you listen to this with the sound on

some people in the tags seem genuinely distressed

about their relationships to their phone and i believe in you, you can change!

The core of phone addiction though is an inability to tolerate minor discomfort. If you feel a slight twinge of boredom and immediately reach for social media, you are self-soothing. Learning distress tolerance is the best way to support yourself long term and it helps with almost every part of life. Here is an extensive packet with info and exercises. You can do this.
