hot lesbinans...
nothing against sparkledogs tho, absolutely not. unironically I love that sort of wild free expression of colour and energy and silliness and imagination and it should be embraced, not shunned and shamed.
me immediately: *wondering if they should recreate Pastel and go FULL ABSOLUTE GODMODE QUEER with their design*
my brain: *already thinking about it because we all know the answer is ALWAYS YES*
me: "hm, you know, I don't think i ever had a 'sparkledog' phase... Is that weird?"
my brain: "don't make me tap the sign"
the sign: "You had a character who was a pastel coloured anthro fox at one point"
me: "....ooohhhh yeah I forgot about them. Wasn't their name like-"
brain: "THEIR NAME WAS LITERALLY PASTEL. YOU CALLED THEM PASTEL. THEY WERE VERY VERY GAY"
me: "...well okay but i mean... we both know they could have been gayer."
brain: "...okay fair yeah, we were young and naive."
Things queer culture teaches you that straight culture doesn’t
ukpol, BBC News, government interference
"Sir Robbie Gibb, communications director to Theresa May when she was prime minister, tried to block the preferred candidate to oversee the BBC’s news channels because the appointment would shatter relations with the government, said people with knowledge of the recruitment process.
Gibb, who became a non-executive director of the BBC in April, issued his warning to the news division’s managers after Jess Brammar, former editor of HuffPost UK and deputy editor of BBC Newsnight, emerged as the favoured candidate in the recruitment process.
Gibb, a former BBC journalist, told BBC director for news and current affairs Fran Unsworth in a text message that she “cannot make this appointment”, said people privy to the communication. He added the government’s “fragile trust in the BBC will be shattered” if she went ahead.
Brammar’s appointment as BBC executive news editor has stalled since Gibb’s intervention on June 22 and taken longer than anticipated, said people involved in the recruitment process."
As if BBC News isn't as governmentally independent as RT already. Let's also not forget the current Director General received that appointment after a £400k donation to the Tories.
If Brammar does eventually receive the position, I wonder if that might improve the BBC's awful anti-trans bigotry? HuffPo's pretty good on that front.

(least favourites are the blos ones though. And urugaan. Radobaan is ok, but urugaan is just a fuckin asshole. I even prefer the Pickle and B52 to them. Hell even pleisoth and it's ilk like jyuratodos and even Lavasioth are better and more fun to fight than 'blos's.)
(I love dodogama and kulu so much. They're my favourite "trash" monsters in Monster Hunter, and both have such character and expressiveness.)
Money help needed, somewhat time sensitive, please boost
So...
Previously unbeknownst to us, we recently learned that we owe $1516.71 in utility bills. One out of the three bodies in the house is working, but it simply is not enough to cover this in addition to our monthly fees (which we are fine on, currently). If the debt is not paid by the end of this month, our electricity will be shut off.
Please help a queer and disabled household.
