Some of y’all can’t handle two high-agency males getting at it, and it really shows.

This is hilarious—but I agree with Ripley:
![Close up of Sigourney Weaver in Aliens II, saying, “You don’t see them [effing] each other over for a goddamn percentage.” She’s telling a fellow human who just tried to kill her and a little girl that he’s worse than the xenomorphs (aliens in the film).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qodwjrpwyaz7zp3onahjfczt/bafkreiekcmjsdwn7jxxyysk7gr3s53gax74u7b3um3akhdjpi6yn5gdtca@jpeg)

@freyathewolf.bsky.social Freya, my husband discovered this lovely creature in our garage in Central Texas. He said there was no rattle, and to me it says “bull snake” or “rat snake” or some-such (probably likes the local rodent population). By the time I arrived it had disappeared. Should I worry?
