I'm going to have to get an oil change and new spark plugs for the car in the next couple of weeks, and that promises to be a bit pricey - especially if the dealership confirms that I also need new tires. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! gofund.me/5a6754275
God save me from obnoxious people determined to read things in the worst way possible.

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work!
I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖

Dems are now overperforming the 2024 lean of red districts by, uh, 30+ points in special elections
I’m not sure “apocalyptic” is sufficient to describe how the environment is starting to look for the GOP in November

RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%.
This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.

I've often thought about changing my online handle after my egg cracked, since Manticores are traditionally male in depection.
But it's been my handle for 27 years.
Why should I change it?

Ugh, just saw an artist I followed post a sketch of blatant sex that was unlabeled.
Reported and unfollowed.
I don't mind posting or seeing sexy stuff, but label it FFS.

Yes!!! And I think it's good actually to embrace that dream as "who we really are" and label all the horrific shit this country has done as NOT who we really are
We can acknowledge the evil while also being like "and fuck that shit, that's not our America"

the fifth episode especially. they tell a story where young people try to balance the understandable distrust of their forebearers with a desire to engage with a world that oppresses them. it's heartfelt and deeply emotional. and funny!
but "these aliens puke glitter. ugh. cringe." give me a break.

For clarity:
Dysphoria is when you correctly perceive what you look like and it feels wrong.
Dysmorphia is when your perception of what you look like is skewed.
It is possible to have both, but personally I only have the latter.
