She's shocking! She's toothy! She's fluffy in the head! It's the Electric Mink!
Sounds good to me. I'm calling dibs on "Subversives Inc"!
Next up, a pizza-themed golf bag to "help with your slice"?
I....just can't top that. A pizza duvet? Cheesy. Half baked. Hoping the sheets underneath aren't crusty. I never sausage a thing. Bet you get saucy in there.
*phew* Sorry about that - I just had to get the puns that thing inspired out of my system.
It's like talking about the weather. You know it's been hot, I know it's been hot, so informationally we have no reason whatsoever to talk about it.
Emotionally, however, it's good to know you're not alone in suffering from the heat or enduring the miseries of "swamp bottom" from sweating your butt off so badly.
Knowing you're not alone, that others are carrying similar burdens to what you are....well, it helps lighten the load and make it easier to manage.
And that's a big reason we talk.
Some people complain about the same topics coming up online over and over again with only subtle variations, pointing out they've been done to death and why (instead of continuing the discussion) don't we just read the archives of chats past?
Maybe because information exchange is often only a secondary goal in conversation, and the first is to form connections and to create a sense of community - talking to reinforce empathy or so we don't feel like we're facing shit alone.

And here I was pondering what rub to use on mastodon ribs and how many hours they would need in the smoker.
Wait, what? O.o
If you have job/boss that pays you money, don't comment on creators asking for money.
You don't have to ask to be paid by your boss every day because you have an employment contract.
There's no rule that anyone has to pay for art, entertainment, or any other type of work online. Most people just take it for free. Creators need to remind people that there is no one paying us.
Don't let anyone shame you into not asking to be paid for your work. You deserve to survive, thrive, and be happy.
boost this toot if u arent straight. this is for science
Make learning fun, I always say!
Shack up with a lover who speaks nothing but, of course.
T'is "Walking Your Octopus: A Guidebook to the Domesticated Cephalopod" by Brian Kessinger, and it is a lovely bit of work. ^_^

I've had that book front and center on my coffee table for ages - always get a smile out of it. ^_^
Yup, there's plenty of room for you - you'll be citified in no time!
Chilled squirrels don't scamper properly. Nothing sadder than a descampered squirrel. O.o

Been reading about the London tragedy this morning. Such a horror, and it didn't have to happen - it looks to be the inevitable result of years-long negligence in the service of profit. I can only imagine what the people who lived in that building are facing right now and feel for them and those who didn't make it.
