So they say...

So my cat is dying 💔

We found an inoperable tumor in her bladder this spring, and the prognosis is September at the latest. Throw into the mix the fact that we're moving in a few weeks, and it's likely the stress will accelerate that timeline.

My wonderful partner put together a GoFundMe to help with the costs of her death plan. This includes things like at-home euthanization, skull preservation, aquamation, and covering food & transportation while her body is tended.

Donate to Demi's Rainbow Bridge Trip, organized by R Q

Hey everyone! We are trying to raise money to help our beloved Demi. She was diagnosed with terminal ca… R Q needs your support for Demi's R

Any extra funds that we don't use will be donated to a local animal nonprofit, probably the one that did her snip&chip back in the day.

Please don't feel any pressure to give! If you're like me, you really don't have the extra funds right now. Mostly I'm hoping people can share the link around, especially with those in higher tax brackets 😉😏

More than anything I would love your well wishes, both for her health and my heart. And I certainly wouldn't say no to people putting pet pics in my ask box!

O-okay, let’s get into this, shall we?

*grumbling* Would you rather work for Lex Luthor or the Joker- *shouting* Lex Luthor, by like, a fucking mile!

Yes, yes, working for Lex Luthor is basically like being an Amazon employee that makes weapons of mass destruction, which is bad. Lex is like Donald Trump mixed with Mark Zuckerberg mixed with Jeffrey fucking Bezos, it’s not a great mix. He does not treat his henchmen well. Their lives still suck, and they are probably monitored on how long they take piss breaks for.

But let’s analyze what working for Lex Luthor is like versus the fucking Joker. With Lex you probably get a dental plan, a health plan, a paycheck, and the guy that you’re fighting really cares about human life. Superman will hit you just long enough to knock you out, so you’re not a treat, so he can stop the problem.

If you work for the Joker, your payment is you’re not fucking dead. You say one wrong thing? Bang. You don’t laugh at his jokes? Bang! You do laugh at his jokes? Bang! You think Joker gives a fuck about a henchman?

Who’s Lex Luthor’s right-hand-man? It’s a woman, you sexist, her name is Mercy, she’s awesome. Who’s Joker’s right-hand-man? Bob? Nah, he’s dead. Harley? Tried to kill her multiple times. Slappy? Who the fuck is Slappy?

The best case scenario of working for the Joker is that you fight the fucking Batman! And that presents its own fucking list of problems. If you stop Superman as a Lex Luthor henchman, Lex’ll be pissed, but he’ll be at least happy that Superman was caught. If you stop Batman as a Joker henchman, you better have a fucking coffin picked out yesterday.

This isn’t a fun hypothetical question, this is a screening technique that the doctors at Arkham use to determine your mental health! There is a right and a wrong answer to this question, and the correct one is Lex fucking Luthor. Thank you for coming to my fucking Ted Talk, have a nice day.

writing tip they don’t tell you is that in addition to reading good books you should occasionally read one really bad one so that it inspires you to write something better out of pure rage

I thiiinkkkk I'm done

[hbmmaster]

just realized my phone doesn't display some braille characters correctly. the dot pattern [⠸] is supposed to be the right three dots, but on my phone it looks the same as [⠇] with the left three dots. that's a really weird problem and I don't know how they messed that up

[hbmmaster]

how am I supposed to tell the difference between ⠝⠥⠅⠑ (nuke) and ⠝⠥⠨⠑ (nuance) if [⠅] and [⠨] display the same way? pretty big oversight there

[hbmmaster]

here's what it looks like on a device that displays braille properly btw, for reference

[hbmmaster]

after looking into it, the reason this bug exists on android is that, one, when braille was added into Noto Sans they just did it wrong at first, and two, even though this issue was fixed in Noto Sans back in 2017, the android system font Droid Serif, bafflingly, hasn't been properly updated in ages despite the decade of work the Noto team have been doing improving these fonts. like different departments at google just aren't telling each other what they're up to. so that's why braille text is broken on android

Edited to add: Since a lot of people are reblogging this original post, I'm adding the updated version I did that incorporates the intersex circle...

I know intersex people are still getting excluded in a lot of LGBTQIA+ spaces (let alone wider society) and I think it's crucial to show this group is included in the statement that we all deserve equal rights.

I feel like starfish are one of those animals that are treated as very “normal” by people but absolutely shouldn’t be. Like they’re a wheel of repeating heads connected by a central stomach. They walk around using thousands of tiny sticky hydraulically powered tentacles. They have an eye on the end of each arm. Instead of having a mouth they just have an opening where their entire stomach can be pushed out to engulf prey. And they’re just allowed to exist like this. It’s not illegal or anything.
