Silly thought:

Recessive traits are ones that require a coupon code from the other parent to activate

Dominant traits are terms and conditions you’re required to accept in order to proceed

My current brainworm:

Hoarding is behavior that dragons only exhibit in captivity. In the wild, shiny objects are collected briefly, & then presented to a mate as a temporary nest. But when trapped without mates, distressed dragons collect continuously, guard hoards aggressively, & settle on them.

@overlysarcastic.bsky.social @mythsandlegends.com hey, have you two noticed that you’re doing a similar thing as far as Journey to the West? Would love to see you to collaborate as the story near it end in both of your projects. Maybe a debrief afterwards or something? Or a sit down?

The angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference

Anime character walked into the store. Tall androgynous person in black button down and black slacks. Bleach blonde feathered hair. An inexplicable umbrella despite the lack of rain.

All they need is a suitcase and a supernatural creature that they’re fighting/fucking.

Pro-Life, really? "Women living in abortion-ban states are nearly 2x as likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth or soon after giving birth..." and "Maternal mortality rose 56% in Texas in the first full year of the state's abortion ban." (from the summer print issue of @msmagazine.com)

Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.
The Chan-Zuckerbergs stopped funding social causes. 400 kids lost their school.
Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg’s retreat from funding social issues forced the closure of a school Chan opened for disadvantaged families in Silicon Valley.

So a lot of grifters think about Rome, and it’s fall and worry that America is collapsing the same way.

Something I wonder about, why would you want to be Rome?

Are we talking about the same civilization? The one with slaves? Where to become a politician, you had to already be born rich?
