Like, there will be a lot of people that have no idea what's going on and wonder why a bunch of idiots are protesting Walmart.

I looked on the No Kings website and there is a local protest.......but it's in front of Walmart. I kind of don't like that. I feel Ike it should on Main St, near the town/county government buildings...? More people will see it at Walmart but also more people will think it looks stupid at Walmart.

I would make him his very own little cheesesteak because he absolutely deserves it.

The cheesesteak wanter has entered the chat

A large brown Mastiff standing next to the table, and he's so big his head is higher than the table height. He wants a piece of my cheesesteak.

Every damn thing on a car is designed to be extra fancy and electronic so you or your mechanic cannot fix it. Fuck all of it. Give me hand crank windows and manual seat adjustment controls. No screens. No computers.

I keep saying.....they're not afraid anymore. At all. We need to make racists afraid again. That's not a threat of violence but they need to know their careers will be over, people will hate them, & they will be shamed & mocked. It's not okay for Hitler to be your husbando.

You are not alone. I am very much at a loss with the people in my everyday life.

I don't know how to thoughtfully demonstrate this to others that don't know or care or believe. Or worse, those that know but don't think it's a big deal.

We have a government made of internet trolls now and that is not good.

Right. It's just the internet.....except it's not. This is official communication from the federal government. This is also absolutely not just one person or even "a few bad apples". This is their culture. In fact, they were likely hired because this is their culture.

Absolutely shout this shit from the rooftops. This is not just dumb kids, this is people in positions of power. These are not just conspiratorial coincidences, this is intentional. These are not just harmless internet jokes......if they are, please explain the joke to me & why it's funny.

I would still caution you. Please be careful!

Now that this behavior is part of the federal government, we're really fucked because there's a huge part of the population that doesn't see or get it and trying to explain it, makes us seem nuts.

One of the biggest problems is that if you try to explain cute lil internet troll behavior to someone that doesn't know, they will absolutely think you are crazy. Like, you are a conspiracy theorist. This stuff is not real & if it is, you're reading too much into it.

This does not bode well for the state of scientific research...

I'm gonna be honest; I think you should call a local cat rescue. I would not try to do this yourself because it may be dangerous. I know you want to help but you should let someone with more experience & the right equipment do this.

Please do not die of CAT.

Let me know what you need, though. Towels for you or for cats? Or both?

I think my mom is trying to get rid of some plus I have a bunch I got out of storage. You want some used ones? Some are nice, some less nice (for cats). Are you in the US?

Stede is still clueless as the stencil is smoothed over his back and then......

"Wow. This is kind of nuts for your first time. You sure you want this, mate...?"

"Oh, YES!"

"Alright. Let's get started!"

Anyway, that's how Stede got a giant dickdragon tattoo on his back instead of Izzy.

Ed laughs and says, "Oh, fuck. Sorry, sorry! You just didn't really look like the type.....well, anyway, gimme a sec to get everything ready....."

At first, Stede thinks he's going to get a massage. Ed asks him to take his shirt off and Stede gets nervous and excited.....

Suddenly, Ed flings open the door & step out for a smoke.

"Oh. Sorry, mate. Didn't mean to startle you. My 9:00 isn't here yet so-- wait a minute. Are....are you my 9:00???"

Stede is so flustered and before he can think, he answers, "YES. Yes, I am! Um, your 9:00, I mean!"

Stede sees world famous dick animal tattoo artist Ed at the coffee shop every morning and is so completely enamored with him that he follows him one day. After Ed enters his private unmarked studio, Stede stands at the door, looking sad, lost, & confused.....

Just looked him up. I think he changed his insta a few times because he kept getting hacked. I wasn't following him anymore!

A while back, I used to follow this artist on social media that did nothing but dick tattoos. Mostly dickfish but he dicked a lot of stuff, I think. I think he was in Australia, maybe? I wonder whatever happened to him.....
