Anybody know anything about cars? Is there a repair or diagnostic reason that someone would need to noisily rev their engine repeatedly for hours, every day for months?

y'all ever think about how people ask "well what was he wearing" and "well what did he do to deserve it" when someone hits a cyclist with their SUV and/or truck before asking why the driver hit the cyclist and how 'protected bike lanes' are "DEI" apparently

Also, this is our new foster dog. He is on ADHD meds. Like for real. We and the rescue agency are doing our best for him to get him adoptable (he might be a foster fail tbh, he and our other pitbull are best friends and boyfriends now i guess). If you can help, read on or share please!
Bam, a warm brown and white pitbull, walking down the sidewalk with a big red and purple ball in his mouth. He has a jaunty gait, one of his white tipped feet is extended out in front of him, and he is paying absolutely zero attention to me as I take his picture. He is extremely pleased with his ball and focused on carrying it.
He is wearing a purple and black harness,  and his face is mostly white except for his black nose and the swoop of brown across the top of his head and one ear.Bam, having dropped his red ball on the sidewalk and wanting to stop to chew on it more effectively, standing with his legs apart in a sturdy stance to prevent us from continuing the walk. He is looking into the camera with his dopey looking little blue eyes. He had to have eyelid surgery so his eyes are extra dopey looking. His white tipped tail is wagging hard and his ears are perked, as the walk and the ball are extremely exciting, and it is difficult to pick which activity he wants to do.

my sewing assistants
Oscar, an orange tabby cat, laying across an in-progress quilt top. He is looking at the camera with am expression that reads as if he is bothered, but really he is incredibly pleased. One of his paws is close to his soft, fuzzy chest, resting on a loose grass-green and white checkered fabric square. His other front paw is extended forward, holding down a pile of fabric squares that are half yellow-green and half coral pink. The quilt top features two quilt blocks with images of Moo Deng, a pygmy hippo, pieced together out of solid colors, with her mouth open and legs akimbo against a creamy white background with pinky purple flowers. The sides of the quilt top resemble cut pieces of watermelon, which I later embellished with black embroidery to look like watermelon seeds.Oscar sitting on top of another quilt top, looking at me as I take his picture and wondering why I am not playing with him or petting him instead. One of his front legs is slightly forward, ready to smack a feather teaser toy right out of the air at a moment's notice. His stripey tail is curled behind him, the end slightly raised as he tapped it in mild annoyance, but his expression is a bit more playful.
The quilt is a solid black and white in zig zag stripes to resemble the famous zig zag flooring in the Red Room in Twin Peaks. This time, the quilt top itself was done and I was trying to line it up with the inner batting and the red plush backing fabric. I had to hand quilt it, which was a very exciting prospect for a lively young orange cat who loves to lay on top of projects I am actively working on.AllieCat, a brown tabby cat with some orangey tortoiseshell markings, laying on her side across a large woodland themed quilt top. She is looking into the camera with her bright green eyes, and she was purring hard, holding a catnip toy shaped like a half-peeled banana. Her extra fluffy orangey tan belly peeks out from between her brown stripey legs. The solid dark brown end of her tail wags.
The quilt features large printed illustrations of sleeping woodland creatures, the visible one being a cartoony fawn laying on a blue leafy plant with pink flowers. Green, pink, and white patchwork fabric squares make up the bulk of the bottom third of the quilt, most with woodland creature illustrations or floral patterns.Oscar the orange tabby cat rolling around on some solid backing fabric. He is laying on his back on a strip of light pink fabric, which I had been trying to line up with green fabric to make a quilt backing be half pink and half green. Oscar's legs are in the air as he thoroughly enjoys the smooth cotton on his fuzzy back, and his light orange belly is exposed. He is looking towards his back paw and curved stripey tail.

hi, i love you. in theory & concept, i still exist. in practice, not so much. i hope you are all as well as you can be and fighting the good fight. i am scared but i am alive. i made a protest quilt. did you know i could quilt? me neither. cat tax below. ok i love you goodbye for another year maybe?
A small quilt in the trans pride flag colors, light blue, light pink, and white. Each quilt square is either plain with no print, has floral prints, stars and constellations, or woodland creatures such as foxes and owls. It is bound in a thin strip of rainbow plaid fabric the whole way around. It does not yet have text on it, but I will iron on words to use this at a protest.The opposite side of the protest quilt. It is the progress flag colors-- a rainbow flag with a triangle on the side in white, pink, blue, brown, and black. The quilt squares are mostly solid, but some contain florals or stars. It is bound in a rainbow plaid fabric. The inside is actually a pocket so I can slip a piece of cardboard in between the quilt to hold it up at a protest.A picture of my beautiful brown tabby cat with tortoiseshell markings named Allie Cat. She is sitting on my sewing table in front of a white floral quilt with a yellow green binding that I was binding by hand. Her green eyes are looking calmly toward me as I take her picture, and her expression is one of quiet pleasure.Allie Cat again, sitting on top of fabric squares on my cutting surface. Her back leg is in the air because she was licking her butt hole on top of my nice fabric squares. The fabrics are bright and happy colors, lots of teals and yellows, with cute flowers and birds.

Sometimes you have to keep yourself from speaking the full truth about a thing because the people who really need to hear it will shut down then shut YOU down because they can't handle it. Sometimes you need to hint at a thing so they don't get scared and angry and can actually hear you. I hate it.

most people who are not trans women don’t seem to know how terrifyingly isolating it can be to be a trans woman. it’s v possible to have nobody in your corner. at all. no family. no friends. no community. nobody to offer you a kind word or share a meal with you.

You need this today. For morale.
secondbeatsongs posted:

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so l will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

hidefdoritos replied:

OP I hope you know that this changed my life and nearly eliminated my guilt over enjoying things.
And I've delighted almost everyone I know with the phrase, leading a few of them to use it back to me.
Anyway just letting you know about this little sparkle of wonder. For morale.

There’s willful self-delusion in the NYT’s bizarre moralizing. Civility is a treaty. A mutual adherence to norms. When one side has shown itself eager to lay waste to law, limit freedoms, attack the vulnerable, and foment violence in its ranks, the treaty is broken. The norms are dead.

Wear a mask. Even if you just start popping one on at the store, on the metro, in meetings at work, at your job when someone else is in a mask. Any additional masking slows the spread and makes it more possible for people like me to be in public places. You don't have to be perfect, every bit helps.
