Mom sent me a facebook link to a PBS news hour post about how the anti-lawn movement is growing. The vast majority of the comments on it were stuff like this:

Most people are on our side here, even the so-called "boomers." We just have to be spreading ecological knowledge and practical means of creating useful habitat in back yards! Educate! Protect! Resist!

November 15, 2021. A new dwarf planet has been discovered in our solar neighbourhood. It was given the provisional name Xipe Totec. It has gone unnoticed due to its small size and complex orbit, but it recently passed close enough for this first image to be captured.

August 7, 2022. Xipe Totec has completed an unexpectedly close orbit of the Earth, grazing its Roche radius. Tidal waves are expected in the coming days. Authorities are warning not to approach the falling debris that was torn from the planet by Earth’s gravity.

May 30, 2023. Concerns are mounting worldwide as flesh organisms grow unchecked. Seeds that fell on Earth during close encounter with the living planetoid Xipe Totec appear to be fusing and consuming everything around them. Large swaths of the ocean floor being covered in flesh may lead to ecological disaster, warns biologist.

Controlled fires are being deployed to slow down the growth of the flesh superorganism that is quickly taking over large areas of land around the planet, consuming all organic matter.

Though the measure is proving ineffective at curbing the spread, it may buy Earth some time.

The uncontrolled advance of the superorganism spawned from planetoid Xipe Totec already claims millions of lives worldwide and untold property damage.

Leaders warn "worst is yet to come" as large populations crowd the increasingly shrinking habitable surface of our planet.

BREAKING

Global crisis has been averted as people realize the flesh superorganism taking over Earth could “simply be cooked”.

Massive cookouts have been organized around the world to consume the beast and celebrate humanity's salvation. “How did we not think about this before” claims befuddled citizen through mouthful of meat.

Me: im trans

Snake: Hrm... trans huh? give me a moment

Snake goes into a box and calls up his husband

Snake: Otacon, this lady dropped a piece of intel in regards to herself, do you know what "trans" means

Otacon: Snake, that's short for the term "transgender" a phrase used for those who's identity doesn't align with their asigned sex, some use hormones or surgery to better fit their lifestyle

Snake: Chemical and Surgical modification huh? they're like supersoldiers but they choose to change to fight for their own spirits rather than a nation...

Otacon: Remember snake, being "trans" is an umbrella label, many in the community identify beyond our common gender binary, including traditional cultural gender roles or wholly new ones

Snake: A wide variety of genders, such diversity not only make them unpredictable but increases practical versatility, impressive stuff

Otacon: oh this is just like Lily Hoshikawa from my Japanese animes

Snake leaves the box

Snake: You're pretty good huh? this trans stuff sounds intense, you have my support as a fellow soldier

The thing that gets me about the impending Harry Potter show is like. I'm able to, for entirely hypothetical purposes, put aside my disdain and disgust for the author's full-tilt bigotry and put myself in the shoes of someone who's still a Fan, like I would be if the author hadn't doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on being a full-tilt bigot, and even then, imagining the alternate universe where JKR remained a staunch ally and well-meaning if clueless liberal philanthropic darling, I still can't quite wrap my head around why I'd want this show to be made

Everyone keeps saying it's going to be a Faithful Adaptation Of The Series and I'm just like... okay? This isn't A Series Of Unfortunate Events that got a bad adaptation and they had to go back and try again to get it right. The majority of fans liked and continue to like the movies, a lot, and despite some minor quibbles here and there, they're considered incredibly faithful adaptations. The Fandom isn't exactly divided on this, either.

Like, I imagine a nearby alternate timeline where JKR was never hit by the Idiot Stick That Makes You Hate Women and remained normal, and I remained a fan of a flawed but influential children's fantasy series, and I can't really think of a reason why I would be excited about them trying to make lightning strike a second time. Are people really that mad about Michael Gambon saying "Harry did you put your name in the goblet of fire" animatedly instead of calmly? Or is WB just worried that the incoming demographic of theme park attendees have nowhere near the nostalgic link to the series that millennials would, and that if they don't inject the series back into the zeitgeist, the golden goose might stop laying eggs?

Incubomurum domus, commonly known as "house meat", is an amorphous vertebrate that lodges itself in the empty spaces of buildings.

Originally believed to have evolved in caves, it quickly adapted to human dwellings and their ample feeding opportunities. Apart from predating the inhabitants, they may cause structural instabilities to the foundation. Prompt removal is recommended.

This thing from future world!? This in every home? Thragg not sure if how he feel about future if wall meat there.

I can't believe my art made it to caveman tumblr

evolution dysphoria

oh god oh fuck their dark world colors are getting desaturated... what does it mean...

[ID from alt: Deltarune trailer screenshots of Susie and Kris. First shows them jumping in the air, as something like debris falls around them, and Susie's colors are more salmon-orange and green instead of pink and gold. Kris is a desaturated purple instead of blue. Second screenshot shows Susie and Kris running away from strange black orbs, and the color changes are less intense, but still present. Caption reads: "Chapter 4 is waiting." End ID.]
