SEND AN EMAIL: Restore Chicago Library’s Collections Budget
No one has asked for this cut. Not librarians, not Alderpeople, not the library’s union, and certainly not the residents who rely on Chicago’s 81 branches every day.

I also move slowly and spend my days digesting fruits
Meet the Sulawesi bear cuscus! This arboreal marsupial lives in tropical forests throughout parts of Indonesia. It moves slowly & spends much of its time resting & digesting all of the fruits, flowers, & leaves that it eats.

Sidewalk bots are a fucking scourge!
I came across *the* example I have been hammering with these food delivery robots.
A man with a mobility aid is forced to step aside because there is not room for him because the robot will not make room for a person (esp. those with a mobility aid who need addditional room)

Tag yourself I'm "a pitiful forgery of a human made from wet trash"
Holiday classic I made with secretxsnake (instagram) many frostbitten moons ago. Maybe if enough people like this, we will make a new one?

Great thread, and a fascinating interview with Harlow by Tom & Lorenzo
A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

I don’t need any more information about Tarantino’s opinions as long as I live. Truly. If he wants to make movies, he should go make movies! But sharing what Tarantino said *on Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast* is like a turducken of I Absolutely Do Not Care Even Slightly.

What's happening with the Chicago Public Libraries right now is terrible. The proposed budget of the city would CUT 89 CPL positions. Importantly, 78 positions were lost LAST year. That would be 167 positions in 2 YEARS while COPS KEEP GETTING MORE MONEY. ENOUGH. SAY NO.

Happy adoptiversary to our own Buster Keaton and Blossom Dearie! #adoptdontshop
It's the two-year anniversary of these ridiculous creatures arriving. Buster is still a starter of fights, and Blossom will never let us trim her claws, but overall we have been impressed by their pet skills and have decided to let them stay. #catsofbluesky
