Social media has flattened every sub culture into an "aesthetic," and then taught people that curating this "aesthetic" is the same thing as being part of a community

And because the queer roots of our community are buried and whitewashed by social media, its a shock when they finally see them

Hansel's not an old cat yet, he's about eight, but we're coming to about that time of his life when we lost our last one to kitty lung cancer. I'm worried, as parents do. Some things you can't control, but... he's my baby.

similarly I catch shit from fucks with f250 flatbeds at a much higher rate here than the south, southern hospitality is obviously a facade but at least folks have the decency to shut the fuck up

An ad about “properly cleaning your retainer” sure sounds hilarious while listening to medieval music. Like what sort of retainers, a standard lance with squires and men at arms, or hobilars or what?

Ever wonder about minis and art where someone carries a sword in one hand and a bow in the other? Well what they actually have is a sword with a notched pommel so you can shoot it! And it’s deadly up to a foot away if the target doesn’t move!

SO much of the cultural and artistic nostalgia that society chases was just art made when people got paid to do it. Lavish movie posters made by human artists, video games made by people without sixteen different investment companies breathing down their neck, movies made by studios taking a chance.

If you ask ChatGPT “is there a seahorse emoji” it will lose its mind.
It is sure there is (lots of people on reddit think there is). But when it tries to post it and fails it spirals

ChatGPT saying yes there is a seahorse emoji. It then posts several different emojis eg fish and unicorn before correcting itself and trying (and failing) again.

Continuation of previous post showing several more attempts get shell, octopus and coral.

The reason people do NOT opt out of online dating, despite its engineered horrors, is because increasingly it's the only dating. Period.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

Although classified as carnivores, wolves may sometimes follow an omnivorous diet. They can eat meat, eggs and even fruit!

This time of year, pumpkins are a special treat for our ambassador wolves.🎃 #wolffact

“Wolves can eat meat eggs and even fruit” well gee WE eat fruit and insects and stuff and nobody’s giving US delicious persimmons to show their appreciation, and maybe they SHOULD.
