Attended a rattlesnake conference yesterday and one of the presenters was talking about public attitudes towards snakes, specifically how showing them in a non-aggressive context helps to create more positive attitudes, and. Y'all. I NEED to show you the image he used as an example
Look at him. Look at this smiley newborn sidewinder sitting in a bottle cap. He is so small and so happy he is EXACTLY the right size to sit comfortably in a bottle cap
I went to a seminar on 17th century dresses and the speaker said he was in the process of making a dress where you could use the panniers as pockets, specifically by cutting a concealable slit at the hip of both the dress and the the pannier, and then sealing the bottom of the panniers
He said the panniers were “big enough to store a roast chicken” which was so weirdly specific, because can you imagine your sweetheart taking you along for a picnic in the scenic countryside, and you’re somewhat confused because she doesn’t have a picnic basket, but she tells you not to worry, so you don’t, and when you arrive at the orchard, she pulls an entire roast chicken out of her dress, followed by the rest of the picnic
obsessed with mass market paperbacks. their pleasing rectangular proportions. how they fit badly in a hoodie pocket so you can drag them around everywhere with you like a temporary little buddy. the way they fit in your hand because they're MADE for human hands and not as bookshelf decoration. the way the pages feel when you riffle them gently with your thumb. How pristine and crisp they look when you get them and how creased and folded they look when you're done, even if you try to be nice to them. how that wear is okay, how that's correct actually, because they're made with the philosophy that books aren't meant to be PRETTY, they're meant to be read. that little ripple new ones get on the left side from where you hold them when you're reading, the way the ripple only goes as far as you've read, because u change stories by reading as they are changing you. how you can find thousands of these creased and folded and loved little dudes in every thrift store and used book shop and neighborhood library and you can instantly see the ones that someone carried around in a backpack for weeks or read to pieces or gave up on halfway through because they wear being read like fresh snow wears footprints. I love these poorly made, subpar little rectangles so much. truly the people's books.

with the way high school positions you to think that you need to decide on the rest of your life as a seventeen year old i think troy bolton was well within his right to be flinging himself across walls and visualising hundreds of basketballs falling from the sky to attack him and shit
the type of mental anguish only a seventeen year old who wont be taking a gap year after school will experience
clicky noises amv, in case it gets taken down off twitter too
I had a dream that Joe Biden kept trying to sneak back into the white house to become the president again and he had a variety of silly disguises like in one he was wearing a big moustache and top hat and introduced himself as Job Iden and tried to sell trump snake oil and trump was super interested until his moustache fell off and then JD vance was like "wait a minute.. that's joe biden!!" amd he was like "welp, gotta run, see ya later jack!" and then all the evil white house staff were shaking their heads cus joe biden almost sneaked into the white house and the newest aid was there and she was like "That was a close call, Mr President" and his new aide was actually kamala harris wearing a big cartoon wig and they were all too distracted by joe biden to notice
Y’all ain’t on my level. I ship the two guys from Blazing Saddles
This image does not convey the sexual tension in this scene and I’m not joking

fun fact one of the world champions in pepper-eating contests is a trans woman and she actually faced significant backlash because people somehow thought she had a biological advantage. to eating spicy pepper
update bc i went back and checked: her name is brianna “the chilli queen” skinner and she set a record in 2017 by slamming back 23 carolina reapers consecutively. she only stopped when told to by the referees, and the next year she stepped down out of boredom. queen
Here's a picture of her, by the way
And her super supportive wife
The championship, it should be noted, is unisex. Apparently being a trans woman gives you an innate biological advantage over both cis men and cis women.
The innate biological advantage of being cool as fuck
Children near a magical wood catching bugs and their family are like. Please do not catch pixies and small fae and bring them into our home. They are sentient and they are intelligent
And the kids are like "but they get into our bug traps" and "we didn't catch him he followed us home"
And their parents are like. Please i do not believe that 6 fucking pixies smuggled themselves into our garage on the underside of your bicycle saddle and then set up shop in the old dolls house. These are living beings they're not toys it's not kind to treat them like this
And the kids are like we are NOT treating them like anything you said we're not allowed to trap them and they always get into our traps so we always run away when they see us and then they follow us and get inside our backpacks and stuff
And the parents are like
Stop lying!!!
And then they set up wildlife cams and not only can pixies apparently do all of that and are very desperate to hang out with these human kids (who have fun life-sized toys and are covered in wonderful things like glitter and are a free source of fresh bugs and pop tart crumbs)
But they can also like. Fully just pick locks and shit.
Setting up little cameras and having to come to terms with the fact that not only are these small fae initiating every interaction with the kids but have also taken their cat's side in the war against pigeons and keep riding it into battle
The fae quickly realise the camera is a camera, and just as quickly invent silent movies
Each intertitle card has been crafted from words cut out of other writing, so a piece of paper looking like a ransom demand states "BuT Hoo wil SAVE the Dams3l?" is pulled away to reveal a doll tied to train tracks
So many people on the train right now, bundled up in layers and clearly headed to the protest downtown. I've literally never seen it this full. Some folks are handing out handwarmers. The windchill is somewhere around -30F. Really proud of Minnesota today.
Got home safe after everything and one thing I can't get over about today's march is how incredibly... Minnesotan it all was. State flags and loon imagery and hot dish and lefse jokes on protest signs and people all bundled up in insanely cold weather and warning each other about icy patches on the sidewalk and helping others off of the curbs and generous folks giving out handwarmers mid-march and indigenous protestors wearing ribbon skirts over snowpants and people offering each other rides home in the cold.
And I think that's really powerful and important imagery at a protest where we all were essentially saying "This is our state, and we want you to leave every single one of our immigrant neighbors alone, because it's their state too and they belong here"
It's scary here, and there are so many people in my community that I'm really worried for, but it was still one of those days that helps keep that spark of hope for a better world alive. And in conjunction with the number of local businesses that closed today in solidarity, and the friends I know were doing ICE watches in other parts of the Cities during the march so that no one slipped through the cracks, and the number of out of state folks that have checked in over the last few weeks to see what kind of support is needed, and the fact that no one is about to stop anytime soon, I really think we have a chance.
