I prefer to think they are still trying to get in there but can’t manage it yet, rather than see Brain responsible for any of this current state. Even Doofenshmirtz could do far better with a presidentinator

@gayguycandleco.bsky.social , I woke to a crash and found my Republicans Can’t Use My Bathroom candle shattered, far from its window placement. At first, I thought it was poltergeist Lyndsey Graham/Mitch McConnell, but upon further examination, I’m deeply concerned that my cat may be Republican.

Yeah this is the closest I’ve seen to what concerns me. It’s interesting that when I have issues with a series, it’s on a deeply philosophical level where I feel like the creators and I have a different world view. Like the “ forgive abuse” theme that permeated the last season of BBC Sherlock.

Happy Dragon Appreciation Day! Years ago, my local library had Dragon Day and my son was thrilled. When the event came, he found out they were having the kids dress up as knights and find dragons hidden in the library and round them up for prizes. He did not go to the library for 2 years in protest.

Yeah they want satanist with a boa vibes ;) Though they also want a degree of rudeness (which can fit with any aesthetic of course) The biggest issue is coopting a Just Be Unflinchingly You aesthetic as a character. It’s moral gray ground. But it helps train students, sooo

So far I have ripped black jeans and I made a Dead Kennedys shirt. Buying piercings, as mine are boring. TBH the hard part is not just reviving Goth Me, because Goth Me was just depressed and his character is far more intimidating. It’s like Goth Me right now. Less sad, more pissed off.

In this particular instance it is my pet gecko who needs the diagnosis. Usually I am the patient, but this one is for veterinary medicine, not people medicine. Good point tho. My job is to look slightly scary to anyone who didn’t walk around with safety pins in their clothes (That’s me. Hello.)

I am doing a punk portrayal of a character for a medical training simulation. I have been told I can do any variety of Punk/Goth/Grunge so long as I am obnoxious, aloof, and intimidating to normies. Still deciding if I want my lips natural, black, or purple. I did order a ton of fake piercings.

in addition to being the Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May, today is also Towel Day and so, in honor of Douglas Adams - the man who figured out the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything - here is why you should always carry a towel
A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
