This sounds like something that would be playing in a story set in Victorian London slums or something? I DON’T KNOW.

Vitamin String Quartet do covers of pop songs with classical string arrangements. Some of them are really close to the original, like:

Take Me To Church: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLs_-SXZGqE

Bohemian Rhapsody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjD80dBPelI

Wonderwall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvHkxAb3tNY

But others are just far enough away that they sound like classical music for a minute:

Pompeii: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIcDIZGlr9U

this oddly sad cover of Despacito: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAi-F1Io7gc

So while I was getting my haircut, the lady asked me if I had other plans for the day and I said:

“I’m just going to pick up the boy from daycare and then it’s date night.”

And the lady says “Oh! How old is he?”

“He’s three.”

“Mine too! Where are you registering him for kindergarten it’s such a hassle-”

And that’s when I realized I said “boy” and not “dog” because I always think of Charlie as “good boy” but this slip up has lead to a miscommunication.

The lady is now 6 minutes into a clearly needed rant about how unnecessarily complex shopping for schools is, esp when you have a neurodivergent child, so I can’t just tell her that Charlie is a dog because then she’ll feel awkward for unloading on me and she clearly has enough going on.

So the rest of the haircut became a game of “how much can I say about Charlie without revealing that he is not a human child?” And the answer is “enough to cover a half hour hair appointment, quite possibly several hours worth if I’m specific enough”

[gallusrostromegalus]

“is he very verbal?”

“It really depends on who he’s with. He’s very quiet at he but won’t shut up if he’s at the park or has a friend over.”

“was it hard to potty-train him?”

“he’s adopted, but I was genuinely amazed at how good he already was with hygene and potty stuff.”

“mine’s just obsessed with paw patrol and Frozen, drives me crazy!”

“I imagine. Charlie is colorblind so he’s not as into tv, but he always wants a toy if I take him anywhere with them.”

“oh gosh the toys! And the kids are so rough on them!”

“yeah Charlie can destroy a stuffed animal in about 2 minutes, so I only buy him the really cheap ones.”

“Does he throw tantrums when they break?”

“Not really. It’s meditative, really, taking them apart. He has hysterics if the cat takes his toys though. Runs downstairs and cries at me until I retrieve it because he’s not tall enough to get it out of the cat tree.”

Being shortsighted isn’t a good look.

1985 - Burlington passes proclamation protecting LGBTQ people from housing and employment discrimination

1993 - When Congress members attacked non-discrimination in DC, Sanders voted “no”

1993 - Voted “no” on ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’

1995 - Sanders rebuked Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham for using the word “homos” when talking about gay people in the military

1996 - Voted against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)

1999 - When Congress tried to keep domestic partners from adopting children in DC, Sanders voted “no”

2001 - When Congress tried to keep domestic partners from receiving health benefits, Sanders challenged it

2017 - Co-sponsored the Every Child Deserves a Family Act which prohibits foster care entities from receiving federal assistance if they discriminate against prospective LGBTQ parents

2018 - Committed to passing the Equality Act

2019 - Has proposed a comprehensive housing plan that addresses societal homelessness, which disproportionately impacts the LGBTQ community

2019 - Committed to advancing policies that ensure fair treatment for transgender people who are targeted by police unfairly

But yeah, Bernie Sanders “skipping” a forum on LGBTQ rights to host campaign rallies is breaking news

[variks-the-warden]

This is the exact same propaganda that got spread to get people to not vote for Hillary. Don’t buy into it and start thinking people like Bernie or Warren are bad choices because they’re still the best options for your votes right now

One time I was hooking up with this guy and he wanted to try handcuff play, I was like sure I’ve never done it why not. so we are doing stuff and I’m handcuffed and then he stops, and just kinda looks at me. he then gets his keys and uncuffs me and I ask him what’s wrong. He tells me I’m too pretty to die and then tells me to get out of his house and then blocks me and I’m still kinda freaked out about it years later

u know how the tail of a really little brand new kitten sticks right up in the air and how their bodies are kinda chubby

thats good 

[eroscestlavie]

FORGOT to provide Evidence

[afishinspace]

In Austria, we call kittens at that age “Autodromkatzerl”, which translates to “bumper car kittens”, because of the way their tail sticks up. It’s not a really common word, but a very cute one, I think

[eroscestlavie]

Moulay Hassan, Crown Prince of Morocco hates it when you try to kiss his hand.

[mistamarqui2u]

Thas the fastest snatch ever

[kahoot-yaqoot-deactivated202306]

This is all traditional in Morocco. The royalty are supposed to reject hand kisses as a show of humbleness.

It’s kind of like when someone bows to royalty and the king goes, “No no, no need to bow”.

It’s not that the prince is a snobby kid—it’s just what he’s supposed to do.

Learning about the Ides of March in middle school was so surreal for me because it’s my birthday, so when the teacher started talking about March 15th and Caesar’s murder, everyone who knew my birthday gave me the side eye like I was the one who stabbed him, so I was sitting there like
