It’s got to be a good sign that my cat will just lay on his back with his belly exposed anywhere in and around the house, but gosh sometimes I look at him like “you have the WORST survival instincts bub” especially when he does it so close to a doorway I’m constantly walking in and out of.
that james baldwin quote where he says, “it took many years of vomiting up all the filth i’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before i was able to walk on the earth as though i had a right to be here.”
She snapped because it’s infuriating how people will twist practices that make perfect sense as a way to turn a profit or to accuse producers/processors of wasting food or ruining product for something as silly as food not being “pretty.”
Yes, food waste is an issue, but it’s not the issue you think it is.
Very informative thread -source
thinking about Sid Wright and how he was presented as this constant reminder of how fucked up the world of the silt verses was and I was fully prepared to just watch him die and be replaced as a testament to that just being how the world works and instead he was seamlessly incorporated as a major plot point and changed the world forever. It was such an unexpected reveal but it was done in a way that made perfect sense.
You will patch up all the holes in 2025.

Keep your messaging simple:
“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”
That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.
"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
I lied, I don’t like sex. Put your clothes back on, we’re listening to Midnight Burger.
