Non-IRL peeps, started doing adult content message if you want a link and would like to come support my work.

I miss you.

I don't really use social media anymore, shoot me a text if you want to catch up.

Dan and I bought a thing called “long ziti” from the local Weird Bargain Store, largely as a joke, but…. I have never had a more unsettling pasta experience in my life. They wouldn’t bend enough to cook from top to bottom simultaneously, and while they were cooking boiling water kept spouting out from the tops of them out of the pot, like a boiling pipe organ. Then they were so long and floppy and hoselike that we couldn’t pick them up with anything other than tongs, and then they were so long and unwieldy that it was basically impossible to sauce them without them all slithering out of the bowl like wet snakes. They then proceeded to cool down almost completely within the the seconds it took to walk to the living room. Eating them was like eating a bowl full half melted drinking straws.

Bringing back Long Ziti for another round because it’s just too funny

Also: if he touches the woman who works in the copy center, but not the woman who’s a regional director, it’s not a case of “he just can’t help himself.”

He can; he’s just decided who’s an acceptable target.

^^^That right there. They definitely pick and choose their targets based on how vulnerable they assume they are.

i’m speechless

This is how the system of white supremacy operates. The media is used 2 create stereotypes like blk on blk crime.They need black men to fill jail cells for the Prison Indstrial complex

You know what? I’m tired of this. I do not know what exactly they are waiting for. I mean our government comes up with “reasons” to invade other countries, such as Syria, like their government is allegedly violating human rights or something like that. but… I mean for other countries, they do not even have to go deep to bomb the fuck out of this place, they can just look at our media. And this has been happening to people of color since the media has existed.

I’ll never forget this 👇🏾

Did a research project on this in undergrad and the results are extremely alarming because it’s not just in imagery, it’s in language used even in the law making process and within our own communities in a completely different way than expected.

Yuuuup talk about this in our media culture and society class where the exact same Katrina sample was used. White supremacy runs far too wide and too deep to be denied that it exists

Lilo, why are you all wet?

tin-pan-ali-deactivated20191216

This is actually heartbreaking when you remember Lilo tells Stitch her parents went for a drive, and the bad weather caused them to crash.

I get the feeling the adults knew…

jaaku-frost

and now I’m wondering how in the hell Lilo came to the conclusion that there’s a peanut butter loving fish god who demands tribute or else he’ll murder your family.

When massive trauma hits, some people try to find any way to make sense of what seems senseless. Find any semblance of control, of responsibility. Lilo may be blaming herself (unfairly) for her parents’ death. This was the only connection she could make, the only thing she could have had any control over, so to her it must have been her fault. If only she was a good girl. If only she did the right thing. Then maybe… It’s very very hard to lose a mindset like that even when it’s the most irrational thing, even when it hurts you, because then you’re left with nothing.

And when you’re six your pattern recognition skills are a work in progress. Lilo sees that type of fish one day and as it swims away it starts to rain; connection made.

Denver Zoo and its gay lorikeets said fuck homophobes happy Pride

the-awkward-turt

In case anyone was curious, Denver Zoo is literally hosting a Pride event this year called “True Colors Safari”:

“Celebrate Your YOUness with an adventure-packed evening at Denver Zoo! Whether it’s in the animal kingdom or your own community, we all thrive when our unique selves come together in beautiful harmony. After all, we’re each perfect exactly the way we are. So come join this celebration where birds of every feather can flock together and show off their true colors in wild and amazing ways. Explore a festive world of music, entertainment, food and drinks, community conversations and fascinating animal experiences all highlighting the LGBTQIA+ community and organizations.”

So yeah. These homophobes are REALLY barking up the wrong tree.
