There is some evidence mounting on the subject of spiders not actually using wind to disperse as babies! They might use electricity, meaning they don't glide or ride the air, and depending on definition you could legitimately call it "flying"

That's incredible thanks for sharing!

Part of me is hoping the cause of the earthquakes is Groudon because it's so classic PMD but I also logically know that's almost definitely not it. I'm very curious to see what IS it though!!

I also like the idea of an Inteleon sheriff a whole lot. The only pokemon that can most accurately do wild-west shootouts deserves to be a sheriff in a desert mining town.

It is very classic PMD! No spoilers on whether or not that’s the direction this arc takes, though. :3c

Ha! Yes!!! Originally Calder was a bisharp, but I couldn’t resist the allure of a Pokemon who’s literally perfect for wild west shootouts. 😂

Around when did shelters, rescues, and breeders start asking for veterinary information of their clients for recommendations? I've been looking around local humane societies, breeders, and rescues for awhile now for a new dog, after my old girl sadly passed last year. All of them require you provide the phone number of your regular veterinarian for a short interview, if you had pets prior to then. My old dog was almost 17, so none of my family looked at any of that between when we got her and when we had to put her down. This seems to be a new thing that arose during those 17 years.

I think it's a good thing, and a good way to get a clear, unbiased picture of an adopting family's standard of care. I'm just curious when this came about. I've heard the adopting process got more stringent during covid due to the sheer increase in demand for pets; did that become common practice recently, or is it older than covid?

I think it's sort of been slowly becoming more of a thing over the past decade or so. I don't have a great memory of what we had to do when my family adopted our childhood pets but all of my more recent adoptions (and breeder purchases) required it. Although it's a bit weird for me cuz I just write my own name. I don't think any of them called, but again, I think I'm probably a bit of a special circumstance. I remember for sure that I had to write down my vet's contact info when I adopted Ravioli (ferret) in vet school in 2019. Pretty sure I had to provide that info when I adopted my cat in 2015 too.

I hate the double standard in fashion so much. A skinny person wears a graphic t shirt and jeans/shorts and they're called stylishly casual. I do it and I feel like a lazy slob who can't be bothered to dress myself nicely. Fat people get criticized and called gross for wearing casual clothing but skinny people get compliments. I hate this.

Hey friend,

This is a very prevalent issue for many, so at least you're not alone (if that can be comforting).

I do believe the internet is to blame somewhat, you get bombarded with beautiful bombshells and ""perfect"" bodies achieved via photo editing programs. Even on Tumblr, the bodies you typically see are taken with fashionable outfits, with good lighting and poses, quippy captions and fun backgrounds. This isn't a knock on Tumblr Fatshion blogs, but always keep in mind how staged it all is.

Fatphobia in fashion is a big big BIG problem, within communities and the overall industry, esp as a fat woman/femme. You're absolutely right, skinny folks get lauded as fashionistas in ugly outfits and fat folks are ignored. Even looking at the notes between skinny fashion and fat fashion shows the disparity; fatshion blogs receive a pitiful amount of likes and even less reblogs (for high caliber posts) compared to mediocre skinny fashion posts.

A fun thing to watch, if you're feeling up to it, are those 'Is it Skinny or Fashion' videos, or other humorous videos!! I love watching YT for some fatshion and fat positivity, off the top of my head Sierra Schultzzie is amazing, Sarah Rae Vargas is wonderful, Carrie Dayton is fun (anyone feel free to rec their own favourites!!)

Also, I know this is hard, but please try and forget others opinions on you and your outfits!!! People that always have something negative to say aren't people you want to associate with!! I used to flat out tell my coworkers it would be a cold day in hell before I'd come to them w fashion advice, obv this won't work for every occasion but always remember you don't have to put up w negative comments about your appearance/body.

I hope this helps!! The best advice is to surround yourself with wonderful fat folks if possible and to not take any shit <3

Serious question: how do you not die from cuteness overdose, fostering all these newborn kittens? I understand orphaned baby animals are a LOT of work but oh jeez oh man they're so precious. Overwhelmingly cute.

Because I’m too busy dying from lack of sleep and the remembrance of ‘oh fuck, yeah, this SUCKS’... which then I forget about 4 weeks later and do all over again.

But there have been times where I’ve had a little bitty baby asleep in my lap or my hand or I’m listening to that brand new ‘pop pop’ purr and I get so filled with love it feels like my heart must stop.

But then they turn 4 weeks old, start weaning, get diarrhea and get it *everywhere* and then I get over it. XD

Hey, if you wanted more of an audience for Humans-B-Gone I would recommend making a post about it on r/awwnverts and/or r/spiders. I believe both of them allow creative content posts and there's definitely an audience for it in those places!

That's a good idea! I just...feel self-conscious promoting my own stuff like that. I know I need to, though.

Would that axe be good for woodsplitting? I can't justify buying something like that unless I can use it for camping.

It might be a bit lightweight for big logs but smaller sticks and stuff sure.

Sketch #1

The Admiral from Monster Hunter, for @celepeace

He’s blonde Wolverine, bub!  And just look at those pauldrons!

I had never seen this character before googling it, and it honestly shows.  I’m much better at characters I’m familiar with.  Well, at least little better.
