I'm getting a lot of followers who may not know me, and I tend to only retweet if there's a concrete political action these days, so...
If you think trans rights are up for debate, or if you voted for Trump, or if you think the US arming Israel is just peachy, I don't want you around.

There are quite a few fic commenting challenges going around (excellent, kind, magical), so I thought I'd remind everyone of how amazing AO3's search function can be for finding overlooked gems. These tips & hidden search operators are very fun to try out:

My sister is asking for money for Christmas this year, which I'm happy to give, but I also had a thought: I could make her some paper/fabric beads with my marbling scraps! (She has been making keychains lately.)
I've never done this before. So stay tuned for that!

I've been doing origami for years, since I was a kid. I'd probably describe my skill as intermediate.
Anyway, I just watched a tutorial that really broke down every step and it made me so irritated (just tell me to squash fold!), which made me realize that I have a degree of origami "fluency."

Mr Sparrow: so I was talking to your dad about intermittent fasting this Thanksgiving...👀
For fucks sake leave men alone together for 10 minutes and they give each other eating disorders.
(I say this flippantly but I'm also mad, I'm already worried about my dad's habits.)

I like doing my reviews no one cares about, also encourages me to actually watch all my blurays, so:
Saving Face
- so cute I cried
- even the minor characters in this movie felt so specific ♥️
- new theory: if it's set in NYC, not a bummer, and they wear coats at any point, it's a Christmas movie.

Officer Ben comes in to respond to what appears to be a break in. He finds were-raccoon Rey passed out in the bathroom. Just before he calls it in to animal control, the very inebriated raccoon turns into a very nude (and still slightly intoxicated) woman.

I need new jeans and on one hand, the return of low-rise is a bit "hello darkness my old friend" on the other hand ever since I gave birth I get nauseous if anything is a little too tight around my waist (should see a doctor about this?) so maybe this is a good thing.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

Rey after the breakup
The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.
The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

I cannot bring my childhood Samantha back into my life yet because of lack of space, but when I do the first thing I'm buying for her is the nature paraphernalia set (I dare not look at eBay prices). #dollsky
