Why are your posts tagged "The council speaks" and not "The council squeaks"?

this feels like a slur, somehow

Given that rats have no concept of marriage are all rats rat bastards or is it impossible by definition for any rat to be a rat bastard?

I think I should start bragging about my adopted son’s achievements when people around me start bragging about their kids. Ooooh your child can count to 10 in mandarin? Well, my child found 110 landmines! And he’s only 6 years old!

Qobuz is the most ethical alternative to spotify and even tidal (tidal is just pandora radio in a different font; you can't curate playlists, which i absolutely fucking hate, but you can curate playlists on qobuz, and the royalties they pay to their artists are far larger than spotify) that i've been able to find, thanks to this post on instagram by singer-songwriter laura burhenn. the post also lists other alternatives, including tidal, but qobuz is by far the best of the lot. they even have a free feature called soundiiz where you can transfer all of your playlists from spotify to qobuz!

Do you guys offer dental?

of course we offer dental! as a system of government, we believe universal healthcare is a rodent right, and that includes our beautiful smiles.

we also offer vision, comprehensive medical and aging care. we have your backs - all nine thousand.

[acollectiveofeightythousandrats]

Do you have enough comprehensive healthcare for all of us? We've been looking for a good cause to believe in.

[rat-council-official]

hell yeah we do

100% open conversation though, we're also gonna make you pay taxes to fund it, but like. comprehensive healthcare. isn't that good news

remember to do everything you can to keep your community healthy. mask up, wash your hands, quarantine yourself if you get sick (as much as your circumstances allow). help the people around you out if they get sick and need help surviving. we have to do everything we can to protect our communities and neighbors from illness, because the folks in charge wont.

please please please mask people!

follow @covid-safer-hotties for mask sales, i have recently purchased almost a thousand masks for under 100 dollars from sales she has shared. i plan to give them away to people in my life who are still open to the idea and try desperately to convince others to do so.

[dabblingindissent]

this is 440 3m aura n95 masks for 30 dollars. properly sealed and stored n95 masks can stay up to 90% effective for up to 10 years, and this is nearly 2 and a half years worth of masks, please fuck amazon but your health is worth masking!

they don't fit my big ass head too well but they should fit on most people, i'd be happy to send some to anyone who asks if you just pay shipping.

6 noses? Is the council a rat king by chance or seven individual rats?

by technical definition, yes, we are a rat king. however, we prefer more democratic techniques as opposed to monarchic - therefore, we are seven bound together in a rat council. very convenient, isn't it?

[rat-council-official]

This is how booping the rat council looks like

you're missing six noses, but close enough, yes
