embroidery from peacockandpinecones my friends and I have been losing our minds over all morning.

HEY

so if you know someone who went to the LA protests today no you don't actually! All of those people have no identity. You've never been to a protest, you've never seen someone at one, and you certainly have never known the names or faces of any individuals associated with the protests.

I think it's really funny that reading the discworld witch books (at least the ones that are Weatherwax+Ogg+Magrat), Granny immediately seems like the scariest one by far. She seems like a terrifying force of nature accompanied by a jovial old grandma and an insecure young woman. But as the series progress, the times when Granny holds back and Nanny and Magrat jovially engage in brutal physical violence add up. Now I'm not saying you *shouldn't* be scared of Granny, I'm just saying that she has a rather strong conscience in her way, whereas Magrat and Nanny will both sucker punch you, kick you between the legs and happily step over your groaning body. Granny is to be feared, but Nanny doesn't fight fair and Magrat will kill a motherfucker. Terry Pratchett really knew how to write female characters.

I promise I will never use my powers and authority to kill indiscriminately. The deaths will be purposeful and calculated.

Any right that has conditions is not a right, it's a privilege. And that privilege can be taken from you as easily as anyone else.

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

Can you make something good again please.

Aw anon! I didn’t mean to be such a disappointment of an artist to you. Here you go

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

It’s actually stupider than that, because you had to have a (free) ticket to go. So they had to fence off the whole thing to make sure no one without a ticket could get in. I assume this was more for like… tracking people who were there than exclusivity or something.

But then no one showed up. Hilarious.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

Never thought about that. Hope they also watch the Nando’s.

TIL Pizza Index. I find it pretty hilarious that there may be people in US political adversaries whose work include real time monitoring of the Google occupation index of the pizza joints close to the Pentagon as an early warning system for “some shit is on its way to the fan, ETA a few hours”

It's impressive how Neil Gaiman vanished from the internet. Wish Rowling would do the same.

So someone stole the mounting pole that we use to dispense poop bags for dogs at one of the parks and I'm off-season so its none of my business. Except that someone posted about it on the community facebook group and said: "There's a lot of shady stuff that's going on there. I always thank the police when they drive through."

You thank the police? You thank the police why?

The police aren't the ones that replace the pole and the police aren't the ones that replace the tiny free library that someone set fire to, that's US. That's the parks people. Parks and Rec are the people you should be thanking. Only thing the police do are sit on their asses and watch people speeding down the street and not catch them.

"There should be plenty of money for security cameras with the police budget" YES! There is! But the police don't pay for the security cameras at the parks.

You know who pays for parks security cameras?

Parks and Rec pays for security cameras at the parks.

If you give money to the police for security cameras at the parks they'll grind it up into a fine powder and snort it with a hundred dollar bill that you also gave them just for being cops.

And I also don't want security cameras at the parks. People should allowed to just exist. Like I don't give a fuck if someone is sleeping on the bench up by the playground- he's literally 50 feet away from any kids and goddamn just let the man sleep.

"Always thank the cops?" For why? They didn't stop them from stealing the pole, either.
