My YouTube algorithm is blessing me with news videos frog protesters. I respect their amphibian courage.

This is why I have very few photos of my Samus as a baby. I deleted most of the blurry ones.

Atop a carpet covered cat tree is an adult grey tabby and his cuddle partner, a black kitten. Kitten's leg dangles over the side of the tree, showing an IV bald spot with fur starting to grow back.

There's a green dresser on one side of the cat tree, and a doorway to a messy room on the other.

@gibbsmoryss.bsky.social You might like this video. It touches upon ale and beer culture in Tudor England, as well as theater culture.

I wrote that as a dig against game developers who make overly young characters.

Still pissed off one teacher declared NDN men were naturally smooth faced because there was no way NDN cultures developed tech for shaving. When I said my dad shaved, she called him racially impure.

The cultures of Indigenous people here were not less advanced than Europe & neither were the African cultures slaves were taken from even though someone's going on about that in my mentions. Indigenous Americans' intentional agricultural stewardship produced a paradise as Europeans admitted.

I say this in the most positive way. He is a comic book character made flesh.

May these protestors keep up the good work, until there is no need to protest.

May they especially avoid violent suppression followed by DARVO.

That said, I really want certain federal staff to get fired and stay that way, wink wink.

Let us raise our middle fingers to his memory.

Depends on the type of horniness. I very much want the sexy characters to look unambiguously grown. I've seen too much media that says "18" while the character doesn't look it.
