Oh nooo I hadn’t noticed that my cat’s automatic feeder was getting low on food so as usual she dashed off when she heard the machine start but I couldn’t hear the usual sound of her food falling into the bowl so I went to look and my poor cat was just. Sitting there. Staring at her empty food bowl. Then for a second she glanced up at me then right back to her bowl with the biggest, saddest, most bewildered eyes you could ever imagine on such a small creature. I filled her bowl and the machine right away ofc but I still feel a little guilty 😭

When people get a little too gung-ho about-

wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?

ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.

That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

Zuko: There’s something off about her. I can’t explain it but she’s slipping.

in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years

I’m really looking forward to the day at work when the CEO comes online and says, “Congrats, that was everything we were gonna do. We’ve done all the work. That’s all the stuff we’ve planned to do. The products are all really good right now and we shouldn’t change them anymore. It’s just cashing checks from here on out.” And we all go outside and play in the river.

The funny thing about Cosmo (the character I just posted about) looking a lot like the Toy Taker from that one Rudolph movie is that when I watched it for the first time as a kid and they revealed he was just some teddy bear, I was so MAD!

I would kill for you (despite that doing so goes against every grain of my morals)

I would let live for you (despite that your pain makes me thirst for blood)

I would live for you (despite that it is so, so hard)

I would die for you (despite that I know that my sacrifice is not a gift to you; I am sorry)

I love you; and that is a wonderful, terrible thing.
