Remember, it's only technically Orwellian if it's from the Orwell region of England, otherwise it's just sparkling authoritarianism

Never know if these make me feel seen or called out...

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Accordian Bear Blanket. Look at him. Just minding his own business, vibing to the music. Not shooting any women in the face. No wonder women chose the bear.

So much sucks right now. But hey, there's this! A spot of delight in my day
Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Just One More Chapter shirt. Reading addiction is a powerful thing. Melvil Dewey kept telling himself "just one more chapter" until his corpse was discovered, surrounded by endless stacks of books. This is how the library was invented.

Over the past few days, I've subscribed to a handful of new channels on YouT*be, and the almight 'rithm is still recommending me new (sometimes only tangentially related) videos. Le Sigh.

they say crows hold grudges for 17 years. that’s what i call “a good start.”
I feel in my bones that the wave has started to crash back in and Certain People/Companies who thought they were safe to abandon everyone they’d been pretending to care about will suddenly realize that those people have money/power and I, for one, will be holding a grudge until the end of time 💜

Happy Fifth Day of Christmas. A brief respite from birds?

It's only the Fourth Day of Christmas, and I'm already losing track of how many birds are involved.
