Photo of a vintage illustrated book cover, a naked woman mourns her naked boyfriend(?) who is lying on the ground unconscious, presumably dead, as many skeletons loom over him victorious. An award with a review are featured at the top of the cover:

INTERNATIONAL PISS AWARD

Book title and copy read:

She is very indignant upon finding out that the grilled cheese I'm making is not for her

Our gray and orange cat, Sasha, sitting on the kitchen island counter looking kinda like the blinking guy meme where she's a lil aghast about my actions (not feeding her grilled cheeses)

the Bajoran version of the Bechdel test is “do two named women talk to each other about something other than murder” and I love “Deep Space Nine” because it fails almost every episode

I am tired of hearing how women are afraid

If you check statistics, you will find out that men are the main victims of violent crime. Yet we keep hearing how many women are afraid for their safety. All men know you need to take some precautions, and do it. And yet, way too many people pretend men can walk around safely, while women need to be very cautious. Tell that to all the men who get assaulted, and/or killed on the streets.
Such morons are doing a disservice to women and men.
Women feel they are in more danger than they really are, which is stressful. And men are being treated as offenders simply based on their sex. It also prevent society to engage with the real issue of male on male violence as men are allegedly already safe.
It is so hard to check basic statistics?

This is nostalgic, because it makes me think of when the dealers rooms at anime cons back in the day were totally unregulated and were effectively just giant sketchy anime flea markets. It just needs a matching Ever Anime-branded OST CD

Just got a copy of Season 2 in... and it's not any better. Disk authoring dates are also from August 2024 (so no lessons learned from Season 1), video and menu quality is just as poor, and it weirdly comes in a 4-disc DVD case, despite only having 3 discs.

Alice's adventures in Wonderland continue in season two
Alice returns to Wonderland, where she meets more mysterious characters, including the weathermakers, the corkscrew mouse, and the honey elephants.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

What's your totally ordinary opinion about books that you nonetheless find compelled to share when asked on a social media site such as this one for your most extreme/unhinged/hottest takes?

I'll go first: manga is popular among young people because manga often features young people.

This article about the beluga whales remaining in limbo at Marineland is heartbreaking. And it made me think about our leaders’ collective failure with the climate crisis. Bad decisions were made, someone needs to step up now, but everyone wants to point fingers and no one wants to pony up the $$$

‘We need to get them out’: Beluga trainer fired by Marineland speaks out

The belugas' pools are in desperate need of repair with their painted walls peeling and concrete chunks falling into the water, the former trainer says.

Every so often Tumblr rediscovers* a transparent PNG I edited almost a decade ago, and I am begging them to stop reblogging it because yikes was my edit sloppy

*probably because it depicts a nude and physically affectionate Chibi-Usa and Hotaru, this is official Naoko Takeuchi art incidentally
