I've created a new account for political stuff, and this arallara account is going to be for fandom/pop culture, maybe some personal stuff on both. If you followed me for anything other than fandom, I suggest you follow @metaphile.bsky.social! I may unfollow some folks here and refollow there.
I love him so much. He is so god damn refrreshing! He just says things! And he's not a piece of shit, so the things that come out of his mouth are mostly good!

I think it's bad to commit in advance to voting for any candidate because it's like going to a car dealership and beginning negotiations by offering above asking price and also calling them before you get there to let them know you're already sold and would like the extended warranty, please.

One of our local animal rescues suffered a devastating fire this afternoon. A few dozen of us were in a flurry of activity coordinating efforts to get nearly 40 dogs to safety and into vet care or foster. Work is still ongoing. Temporary needs are great. Please help gofund.me/b7a92f0b4

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

In case you need some animal content this morning. The world is a trash fire but skunks are surprisingly cute.
Glacier the skunk is chowing down on an apple in her home at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Until 1993, Glacier would have been in Family Mustelidae with weasels & badgers.
But molecular evidence showed that her ancestors diverged 60 MYA, so she gets her own family: Mephitidae which means, roughly, "stinky."

i know no one will want to be seen saying it, but i'll say it. this is objectively bad. convicting someone of child abuse for a work of fiction is objectively wrong and bad. thought crimes are not real!

I spent a long time trying to figure out what to do with my Harry Potter books, because just dumping them in a little free library felt wrong. So I mailed them to this artist who was turning them into portraits of murdered trans women

Our product can show you what's outside the window that's right next to you, perform a Google search slower than you can yourself, and misinform your surgeon mid-procedure, causing a catastrophic failure that will injure you for life. The entire economy is propped up on it

this is injurious to moral, social, and all human life
I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.

The reason we do mutual aid & the reason why mutual aid is grounded in anticapitalist theory from a long time is that capitalism says your survival depends on what you can do for people. We say, no you deserve to survive by virtue of your humanity. If you can't produce, we will help you survive.
