The curtains were being naughty. #bondage

What is it with fascists and making the transportation run on time? #fascism
A brunette woman in a cream colored outfit is holding a cell phone and checking a flight status board in an airport. The introduction to the article reads as follows: Headline: These U.S. Airlines Were Fined for Excessive Flight Delays More than 20% of U.S. flights arrive at their destinations late, but a handful of routes experience what are known as "chronic" delays. And for the first time, the government has ordered hefty fines on the airlines who operate them.

This person and I didn't work out, but I just had to share the pun. #puns #dating #IceBreakers
Screenshot of a conversation. Him: :USCG Polaris! I am told I should start a conversation with an ice breaker. OKC says we are a 99% match. I figured that warranted a hello to see where the conversation went. I figure at the very least I might make a new friend. So this is me awkwardly saying hello. Me: I'm aware of the USCGC Polar Star and the Polar Sea. Aha! I just looked it up and the Polaris is from Finland. Congratulations! You are the first ever person I've met on OkCupid to start a conversation by accidentally Finnish-ing it. I know it's a bad pun. Uncle Spider still laughed.

Why the change in wording? #APNews

The headline goes from "promotes unproven ties" to "makes unfounded claims" and I am wondering why. I don't think there's a conspiracy or anything. It's an interesting change, though.
Snapshot of search results with the AP News headline "Trump promotes unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines, and..." A snapshot of the AP News article with a changed headline that reads "Trump makes unfounded claims about Tylenol and repeats discredited link between vaccines and autism."

Text reads: Normally I try to keep this page only about miniatures and fantasy in general but something has changed and I feel compelled to make a statement. I am Right Wing. I am STAUNCHLY Right Wing. I will make no apologies or explanations for that. Think whatever you will of that. If it is intolerable to you I will not miss you. Be gone. I do not want your money. I do not want your friendship. I do not want your encouragement. I do not want your support in any way shape or form. I do not care who you are how long we have been friends or associates. I do not care what this costs me to say. I want NOTHING to do with you. And being totally honest I want to know who you are. I will not keep company with cowards or louts or liars. Charlie Kirk was a good man. He was a moderate who opened a stage for anyone to debate him in a public forum with no censorship. Yesterday he was murdered for that and last night and today there are people mocking him and celebrating his murder. If you are one of those people...... FUCK YOU. I hate you. If you are one of those people who choose to ignore the destruction of Europe and Australia and America by the importation of hordes of third world savages. FUCK YOU. I hate you. If you are someone who despises the Right Wing or uses " White " as a pejorative or wants the destruction of European Culture and White People in general.... FUCK YOU. I hate you. Gods Rest You Charlie Kirk. You were a warrior and did not die a straw death. SKAL!!!

The rules of the group prohibit hate speech and bullying, but also political and religious discussions and discussions around sexuality. The problem is that EVERYTHING is political. Any group that allows someone to post in support of HP and JK Rowling traumatizes trans women.

The FB groups since I literally started writing this post are now rebranding to Wonder Women Worldwide because the original content creator, Melani Sanders, wants to reduce consumer confusion. Going forward, my gripe is with this group and NOT Melani.
The new banner of Wonder Women Worldwide featuring women of diverse skin colors and ages in red, yellow, and blue Wonder Woman costumes. 1) Melani Sanders requested all "WDNC" groups change their names to reduce consumer confusion. 2) Facebook will allow our group name change later this week. 3) It is the same group: Open Forum, putting the world on notice: sharing on what we do & don't care about (within group & Facebook guidelines), what we are grateful for and helping eachother (with caring sisterhood focus)

The thing I have noticed about cis women's organizations right now is the tolerance paradox in action. Take WDNC. Their current banner on FB looks inclusive. However, they are tolerating people that defend JK Rowling every time some lady posts "IDNC that I am still a HP fan and an ally."
Screenshot of the "We Do Not Care Club" banner which includes an illustration of a diverse group of women holding up a sign with a rainbow edging that reads "We Don't Care Club"

My sweet pupper Lafayette (he's 16 and will always be a pupper) is getting his favorite thing today: a snuffle mat with dried anchovies and bacon. This sweet baby earned it.
A brown and white papillon dog with long fur and ears that stick up all the time is laying on a grey sofa. He is looking at the camera worth his head resting on his front left paw. He already loves you and wants treats.

Does anyone know if any of the plants were saved and replanted elsewhere? #JackieKennedyRoseGarden
The text reads "And just like that, Jackie's Rose Garden is gone." The top image shows Barack Obama walking towards the White House on a lush green lawn with red, yellow, and white flowers in the foreground. The bottom image shows heavy construction equipment sitting in a gravel lot where Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden used to be. A garden started formally in 1913 by First Lady Ellen Axson Wilson is being paved over because a manbaby wants women to be able to wear high heels at events.

This is why Bluesky is better than #CounterSocial. Here, I don't have my entire account wiped of everything just for a couple months of inactivity and then my account suspended when I make a post about it. Fuck CounterSocial.

With my apologies to #Shakespeare.
With my apologies to Shakespeare From price war breaks to new marketing, Where civil brands make civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal trades of these two foes A pair of star-crossed drivers take their life; Whose misadventures and gift-breaking fence throws Doth with their jobs bury us all in strife. The fearful breaking of their postmarked love And the continuance of customers' rage, Which, but this employment's end, naught could remove, Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage;  The which, if you with patient ears attend,  What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

Some feed bleach in the form of cute photos of my babies. Hopper and Lovelace are the two black cats, Lafayette is the papillon, and Tesla is the ginger cat. #pets #papillon
Two black cats, viewed from the back, sit on a blue bed quilt and stare out a window with blue and white floral curtains. A brown and white long-haired papillon dog sits on a navy blue bed quilt and stares at the camera with a questioning look. His ears are upright and brown with long fur cascading down, creating a butterfly silhouette. A black cat sits with its back to you and head turned left on a navy blue bed quilt and stares out a window framed in blue floral curtains. The light through the blinds creates a striped pattern on her face, highlighting her hazel eyes. A cute redhead with red rectangular glasses is looking at the camera with a contented half smile while a large ginger tabby cat cuddles up on her chest.

Get you a friend that helps you run errands and partners that make you go to bed while they clean the kitchen. I am truly blessed with good people in my life.

On another note: RIP, David Lynch, you mad genius king. May the owls never be what they seem.

Pride and Prejudice and Papillon. Lafayette loves watching Jane Austen if it gets him more scritches and cuddles.

Humans are the worst.
White text on a black field that reads "There is no conspiracy. There is no cosmic mystery. There is no 'both sides.' Every problem on earth makes sense once you accept that... 1) We built a society where everyone is run and ruled by money 2) Those with the most money can never have enough money. 3) These people are totally fine with anything bad that might occur as a result of pursuing more money - up to and including mass death, disability, destruction and the eradication of any race, any country and species... Even their own. That's it. That's the secret. No one is coming to help. Holding out for a hero is purely self-indulgent laziness. History is occurring with or without us — every second. We are the people we need to fix this.

Since the local supermarkets didn't have dulce de leches ice cream, I'm making my own. Also, the furniture project turned out perfectly! I now have more outlets and dedicated space for the curtains. The couch getting pushed against the wall all the time made closing them difficult.
