feeding is a very secretive affair done in total darkness

pissing off Nintendo AND SE? maybe they need to complete the trifecta and stick a few marvel characters in there too

nothing makes me more nervous than seeing someone with very clumsy general movements scale a 2 story ladder with no apparent spotter at the bottom...

you could know a thousand facts about someone but that will never mean that you know them

they predicted 4 inches.

according to the table on our porch, it is more like 7

SNOW IN IRL COERTHAS AT LAST

Is it business-like?? I see teenagers posting their OCs and silly shitposts all the time! The discover latest tab is great :)

It must be to try to bolster this kind of insufferable caricature as the face of all liberal/leftist/democratic people. I'm just blocking these guys. Tell Putin I think he should be defenestrated and a pile of horse dung should NOT break his fall.

It's very annoying to me the number of bots who do nothing but post political stuff, often angry democrat-leaning stuff, and then they roll up and leave passive-aggressive comments on unrelated things out of nowhere.

I don't think they're real people. It stinks of manipulation tactics.

some others from that day: a canada goose losing its mind about some ducks, like there was non-stop honking

you know, I forgot I took this photo

Tips on the soft water pouches: you'll want hiking ones. Make sure you rinse them out with water and baking soda to neutralize plastic-y flavors if they have them (or diluted lemon juice/vinegar). Silicone is the best material. Test to make sure they don't leak. Carabiner attached is very useful.

I'll spy your foldable water bottle from across the convention center and raise mine in solidarity

Bag-wise I still can't say but I'm hoping the mini backpack I've got is small enough. Jansport half pint!

After that I've kinda looked into accessibility for others. There are 2 elevators in the convention center, accessible parking and entrances, and I think lots of floor space around their stage

I mean I guess you COULD if you were creatively sadistic but in general if I chuck one at you and you catch it with your face, the most it'll do is leave a bruise on your dignity. So I'm gonna bring one of these instead of a metal insulated bottle.

As for the water bottles, there is a solution. The reason these items are banned is to keep people from using them as weapons.

Well, some companies sell soft water bottles that roll up easily and fit in small spaces! You can't actually hurt someone with a silicone water pouch...generally speaking

Last time they had a strict bag size and you had to leave behind your water bottle, which meant a lot of them were lost or stolen *by event staff* (assholes)

So! I emailed SE asking about the bag size and got a 'we're still finalizing these details, keep an eye on our website!' response

It feels like the only thing I can safely worry about in public is how to prepare for fanfest. Everything else sends me right into a tailspin of anger.

SO. One thing I'm figuring out is the personal items situation.

mom has finally gotten into blue mage these past few weeks. i have printed out a list of spells for her so she can collect them like pokemon. now i just need to make sure i'm present when she finally tries the carnivale...

anyway here's the detective pleading for couch time with her little facial expressions, for she wants nothing more than to crawl under a blanket and lean on my leg while she licks her paws

if we teach them to talk and answer their questions, they'll learn we are monsters that no one can do anything about until our own hubris destroys us

all any of them want is to be our friends

so we use them as bait dogs in dog fighting rings, teach them to rip each other apart

teach them so poorly some of them bite humans and get murdered for it

poison them with treats and kindness, abandon them in shelters to die

dogs evolved more facial muscles so they can make faces wolves and their wolfy ancestors can't make, all the better to communicate with us

we have thanked them by making them into pugs and bulldogs, breeds who cannot breathe and can't even give birth on their own

i don't think we should teach dogs to speak with those little buttons. they're happier without knowing all the existential horrors that we humans have created ourselves that will eventually doom our species despite all dogs have done to help save us

i laugh at the sims for being unrealistic and ridiculous when they put stuff they're carrying on the floor but i just realized today that i do the exact same thing...

A Rock Pigeon with a threatening aura

How about a 'keep off discover feed' option, bsky.

there are two whole babies here named Nora-A2 and Vori-A1

being lovingly weighed in an olive oil spread container, much to their disgust

yeah, there are a lot of alternative diet style recipes that are literally just 'how can we use vegetables to make things look, taste, and smell like meat or dairy?'

At this point it's probably better to look up non-european country recipes, that should filter it out
