So back in Ye Olde Days of ~20 years ago asthma inhalers used chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) as a propellant. You know, the same CFCs that made holes in the ozone layer. Bad shit for the environment. So they replaced them with inhalers that used hydrofluoroalkane (HFA).

... and suddenly CFC inhalers disappeared from the market and two things happened:

asthma inhalers, ecofascism, vent

So apparently there was a big "news" thing a few months ago where a bunch of outlets ran stories about how ~big the carbon footprint is for metered dose inhalers~ as if those inhalers aren't often the only thing standing between actual human beings and preventable death.

Fuck you and fuck your fascist fucking greenhouse gas emissions.

Let me tell you a story 'cuz this ain't the first time this happened:

Tomodachi Life happenings

This was seriously unexpected. I gave him the chili to punish him for wasting my time and food only for it to immediately backfire. It was hilarious, and I only wish I had it on tape.

one reason I hate linux is that same "I'll run whatever you tell me, boss" attitude when there's a config hidden away somewhere missing a semicolon, all your network packets are inside-out, and it's just sat there naively thinking you meant for that to happen

Uspol, ableism?, subtoot

And, to be clear, he may or may not be. I don't know. That's besides the point. My point is that mocking someone for something so tragic is honestly kinda sickening to me.

Let's suppose for a moment Biden is actually suffering from dementia. Sure, that may be disqualifying, *but that isn't something to use mockingly.* Have you ever dealt with someone with dementia? It's fucking terrifying, watching someone you knew so well be so...different, for lack of words to describe it. Dementia is no fucking joke. Again, if he is suffering from it, it's reason for him to drop out, but if you're *mocking* him with/for it? Just...fuck you.

So, I wanted to know what the eagle referenced in Citation Needed 6x03 was (I couldn't quite make out what Tom said it was), so I searched "new Zealand big fucking eagle" and, uh...what the fuck duckduckgo?!

Well, okay, if that is the reading, it *is* me trying to do a Wynter autograph. Probably nothing. But, you get my point

Okay, I *think* I solved the mystery of the mysterious autograph. I *think* it reads "To Fen Luv Wynter", so it probably is just me trying to do a Wynter autograph. Still, it was certainly a puzzle to decode, and I'm not really sure that is what it says. Probably a Wynter autograph, but 🤷 fuck if I know

So, I'm flipping through a small notebook of mine when I stumble across this. I have no clue what it is. It might be an autograph I got at some point, but *whose* and *when*? The other possibility I can think of is maybe I was trying to do a Wynter autograph, but that doesn't look like anything I did, I don't think. It's weird. What is this mysterious autograph?

Llama badges on Deviantart. People keep giving them to me, but why? What are they trying to tell me that they couldn't by, say, favouriting my artwork or commenting or something like that? Are they even trying to tell me anything? I don't get it.
