Performative feminism is a most annoying aspect of our times.

If First Felon had expectations of honor and integrity like a normal administration, he would have to leave the golf course and spend his time replacing all these traitors.
Remember this? It was last week.
Remember when we said that, as stupid and bad as this was, there was something even more stupid and bad coming that we didn't know about, but would wipe this entirely out of everyone's memory?
Of COURSE nobody's been held accountable. Nobody ever will.
And next week, something even more stupid and bad, that we can't even predict, will happen.
I will never forget and I will never forgive the people who did this to us.

I hate the sound of babies crying, but I can't hate a baby. They've been here for like five minutes and approach this situation with an unhesitant attitude of "my needs are unmet and I am going to make it everybody's problem", and I respect that.
Something I read years ago and completely agree with, is that human babies are pretty helpless compared to many other species. We can't walk or run within hours of being born, as many mammals can. We don't have teeth yet, to defend ourselves. We can't get our own food for a long time.
But one thing human babies are really good at - often within seconds of being born - is asking for help.
As we mature and gain new skills - vocabulary both verbal and written, gestures, facial expressions, and so forth - the way we ask for help changes. But babies have just one way of asking for help - filling their lungs with air and wailing. And they're right to do so! Their needs are unmet and they cannot do a damn thing about it except request assistance.
There's plenty of adults who could stand to take some pointers.

Trumps anti-DEI crusade is causing businesses to drop progressive agendas for fear of government retaliation.
This would indicate that Corporate America was always rainbow washing with their participation in Pride events.
This is a great reminder that Corporate America is not now, has never been, and never will be on your side.
Remember this when Corporate America puts out all their meaningless hashtag pride statements in a couple of months, and don't let them get away with it. Call them out, and give your support to the people who do stand up when it matters, not just when it's convenient or profitable.

really is soooo sick that ppl think that overuse of the em dash is a marker of ai now. like why are you people sullying the reputation of my beautiful beautiful wife. if im not overusing em dashes im dead. im like that chuck tingle book thats like the sentient lesbian em dash makes sweet love to me or whatever
I have never used ChatGPT once in my life, and you can pry my beloved em dash from my cold, dead, unartificial hands.
the first paper I ever wrote in grad school came back with the comment "finally, watch those em dashes, girl!" and so I switched over to overuse of semicolons instead but allowed myself an em dash every page or two in my dissertation and I would just like to say that I have been offended by many trivial things in my life but NEVER quite so much as by this idea that em dash is a marker of the plagiarism machine.

A good chunk of tumblr is someone making a post like "I wonder if anyone has ever applied this unusual, unconventional method to serve this commonplace function", speculating something that could potentially exist, hypothetically.
And there's people in the comments going "I don't know about that, but omg did you know that people actually 100% really do this function in this conventional method normal style? :DD"
If you read someone going "I wonder if you could make a camel pull a sled" and your first thought is "I bet this person has never heard of horse sleds!", then please block me right now. I don't want to be reminded about your existence.
Okay now that I'm done being mad about silly things, it's time to be glad about silly things. Like @twyella 's tags:
And I just wanted to draw a snail getting pulled by a tortoise sled. Look at this speed freak. Absolute out of control daredevil. Renegade rebel without a cause.
Assuming we still had enough of them, Galapagos tortoises could actually make decent burden beasts as long as you're not like, in a hurry or anything
Time to bring back Galapagos tortoises so we can start breeding them to be used as adventuring coffee tables. Whenever you've got your hands full and need both hands for something, you can put whatever you were holding on a tortoise like it's a desk, and by the time you're done with the task you find that it has fucked off with your coffee.
There's a breeding farm in Florida that does exactly that. I talked to the guy at Crocfest once and he showed me the contraption he made for his nicest female. It's basically a saddle with cup holders and she follows him around the farm holding his water bottle.
He can't do that with the males tho bc they like to mount things too much and they dump the load when they do it.
i also have great news for you op
@whisperingsoup camel sled real! in mongolia
