And completely jettisoning cultural, historical, or sociological factors for why such-and-such stereotype exists. E.g. there's an evo psych claim that women are innately drawn to the color pink because it helped them forage for berries in Caveman Days (yes, really)
This is also your reminder that anyone who's big into evo psych is guaranteed to have utter dogshit opinions about race, gender, and sexuality: which, of course, is not bigotry if it's Just Scienceยฎ๏ธ
"Frisson of transgression" FFS just get really into Charles Manson or noise tapes with xeroxed photos of bondage porn on the cover like a normal edgelord
An orange tabby cat is sitting on your chest with his head very close to yours
At least sweet Monty is curled up with me right now and giving me his gentle, quiet purr.
Love to get a headache from checking my bank balance. That's really gonna help my productivity
I guess my big project over the next couple of days will be finishing a paid story review essay I've been putting off because yesterday's vet visit left me flat broke AGAIN and I genuinely need the ๐ฐ. Praying Monty's bloodwork results are benign because I can't keep living like this
Weird picture for toady, an 18th century mezzotint of some lovely dissected heads.
#MorbidMarch #horror #artsky
POV: you live with a beautiful girl kitten who loves you. Sound UP for a solid minute of purrs!
When did your obsession with hot toxic women begin?
Okay, I have Thoughtsโข๏ธ. Will report back later
Currently seated in my neighborhood theatre. In about ten minutes it's gonna be Bride Time ๐งโโ๏ธ
UPDATE: He actually didn't get an echo today since I'd apparently misheard when scheduling the appointment (just that he "needed one"). He did get $$$ bloodwork though, so it probably cost about the same ๐ I'm waiting to hear back about the results to figure out what's wrong with Monty's front claws
"The Calvinist Drinking Game"
The drinks are placed on the table. Nobody takes one but everyone looks sternly at one another.
The player who enjoyed themselves the least wins.

There's currently a cat in the vet's waiting room named Gummo!
The Bookmark Shoppe presents: a book launch with Eddie McNamara for Zodiactually: The Real Story of a Fake Serial Killer
Author Eddie McNamara reading from his book Zodiactually in the children's section of an indie bookstore as patrons look on
Me giving skeptical side eye to the stock Zodiac Killer photo on the cover of Zodiactually, which is about skepticism regarding a lot of popular Zodiac Killer beliefs
Went to my neighborhood bookstore last week for a reading/Q&A from the new Feral House true crime book about the Zodiac Killer (which I've just finished reading today and can recommend). It was oddly well-attended for a Tuesday night indie bookshop event on a rainy evening down in Bay Ridge!
A handsome orange cat is curled up in my lap with eyes closed in a happy expression
This fancy lad here is getting an old-man check-up tomorrow (including an echocardiogram ๐ฌ). Wish him luck!
TBH I'm mostly concerned that for the past month or so, he's been overly grooming his front paws to the extent that they have little bald patches ๐ I've never known him to stress-groom so I wonder if he has some sort of toenail fungus. Poor guy
Fingers crossed it won't completely drain my bank account ๐ค๐ค๐ค If all goes well this will be my last vet visit for awhile, at least until Dexter gets snipped (which I'm holding off for a couple of months to help my finances recover)

This reminds me of the time one of my grade school teachers was standing before the class making a McGruff the Crime Dog puppet lip-sync to some anti-drug cassette tape and one of McGruff's shoes was visibly loose on his cloth foot. I was transfixed by that shoe. I actively hoped it would fall off
small slate gravestones with a cross and IHS above a busty winged effigy epitaph: James Slaven son of Patrick and Ann Slaven, died May 4, 1833, aged 19 month
detail of the same stone, focused on the angel with melon-sized boobs
Crosses were not a common motif on New England gravestones before the 19th century, when Catholic immigrants brought their cross-iconography traditions to NE graveyards.
Big, luscious boobs, however, were actually a very common symbol on 18th-century gravestones โ a metaphor for the two testaments.
Just saw the kittens huddled together in my bedroom intently watching something on the floor. Turns out it was a bug, which my sweet murder baby Dexter caught with a paw and ate. (Monty is a good mouser but is largely indifferent to bugs.) Good boy, Dexy! ๐ซ
Note that those two have definitely hunted bugs before. But I think this was the first time I'd seen Dexter eat one

YOU - โฆI don't want to masturbate on the street, okay?
ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Whatever, coward.
Seed of Chucky-brand condom wrappers with "GET A LOAD OF CHUCKY" printed on the back and what appears to be a stress squeeze toy in the shape of a giant sperm
Apparently this is real Seed of Chucky promo swag from 2004!
I would happily bang Human Charles Lee Ray. The supernaturally possessed doll version, not so much . . .

Somehow it's extremely fitting that they look like those nonprescription hipster glasses that were ubiquitous in the 2010s
A lot of people think โsurely nobody wants to fuck someone they think is subhuman,โ and these people need to be taught about the concept of heterosexual men.
