Every time a disc enters or exits a console this cat will be there. Calcifer will hear the disc tray from across the house and sprint over to face his arch nemesis. He wants to kill Playstation discs the most. Whether it’s PS3, 4, or 5, they’re his most hated foe

can i also say any white text red hat joke is extremely unfunny and makes me uncomfortable - the context in which that hat exists is a problem that we're all still living through and to reduce it to a "joke" by trying to fit it into some fandom thing falls flat and is high key tone deaf

One-upping everything Gale says here! Also, learning how to interpret symbolism and visual shorthand from illustrations is a great way to develop discretion and literacy. If your problem with comics for kids is “they are reading fewer words” you should put more faith in the power of art & cartooning

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

NFL’s New Overtime Rules

- First possession per team
- Which comes first: score or possession
- If coin flip is heads, elect to kick or receive. Same if tails, once possessions
- If a field goal is kicked on first possession, team on field must acquiesce

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

The 40 hour work week. Compensation for overtime. The right to organize and strike. These were not inherent rights given to all in the US and Canada. They were fought for by the courageous workers who came before us. On Labor Day, we remember how far we've come, as well as our fight left ahead.

I think the most frustrating part of the pro-AI argument is the sentiment of “well it’s here to stay, so you have to learn it or get left behind”. Outside of video players which were determined by porn, most prevailing tech wins out by the consumer demand. AI is trying to work the other way around.

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.
BI REMINDER
💜Bisexual women are still bi even if they're dating men
🩷Bisexual men exist, and they're not "just gay"
💙Ace/Aro bisexuals, & Nonbinary
bisexuals exist
💜Sexual orientation is about attraction, not action
🩷Bisexuals dont need to have dated all the genders/gender identities they re attracted to - to know they're attracted to them

Sometimes writing is like having an enormous lake in your head, and you want to get it out of your head and into a proper place for a lake so other people can cone and go swimming and ride jetskis and stuff,  except all you have to move the lake is a teaspoon. So you're just sitting there frantically flinging water out of the lake with your teaspoon and telling people "Guys, this lake is going ro be so cool when its done" but it will never be done. There is so much lake
