Hi, folks. I see Faine Greenwood reskeeted my cheese mite monk drabble. If you're new to this bluesky account note that I have a weirdass sense of humor and consider male pregnancy a valid way to solve demographic mathematical issues in grimdark settings where developers don't do maths properly.
Urrrgh sore throat yuck.

A pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from Safeway is $9.99. If I bought one every day for a year, that's $3,646.35. The average price of a house in the United States is $400,000. It would cost about 109 years of daily rotisserie chickens to buy that house.

I have to confess that I feel that if ICE took me, nobody would notice I was gone.
I should theoretically have nothing to fear. I am a naturalized US citizen. I have no criminal record and I don't even have driving infractions.
But I am terrified.
And I feel so, so alone.

Time to repost the cheese mite monastery drabble!
This is making me think of tiny cheese mite monks in a monastery carved out by mandible, in a ball of Mimolette; it sits as a marvel of nature under God, beneath a protective bell jar in a Vatican office/storeroom.
"we traveled to the remote monastery where this specialty cheese is created to interview the monks that hold the secret to its unique woody flavor"

bagpipes remain undefeated
Always a great sign for how things are going in your country when 21-year-olds are like “hey, I innovated a system to play bagpipes in tear gas”
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

Good time to remind everyone that "no fap" and similar anti masturbation pushes are — and this is not hyperbole — literal Third Reich Nazi propaganda that was digested through the bowels of 4chan and shat out in its current form.
Alexander Rhodes, founder of NoFap, the much-maligned anti-masturbation group, has filed suit against researchers he claims are part of a vast conspiracy to defame him, along with Aylo, owner of Pornhub, and 150-year-old peer-reviewed scientific journal Taylor & Francis.
NoFap Founder Sues Aylo, UCLA, Scientists & Academic Publisher AVN
Aylo leads a class of defendants in a state-level defamation lawsuit brought by the founder of NoFap, a controversial anti-pornography group.
