Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

maybe it makes me a "tankie" to say it but i'm not going to condemn a trans person who is here and hurting and needs help because they made a desperate choice as a teenager to join up as their way out when their other choices were largely grim variations of "go out back with pa's shotgun and hope somebody finds my corpse before it seeps into the groundwater and they have to throw out some of the corn harvest"

to take that stance means willful ignorance about how many populations are presented with the military being their only way out (especially when out means going to college, and even getting adequate healthcare)

rural, poor, minority populations are pressured and preyed upon immensely by the military. if you're not exceptional enough to get a completely full ride scholarship, the military is often the only other way you get to college

"i shouldn't care about trans soldiers affected by trump's recent ruling because they all need to die anyway uwu" is a bad take of the level that it only befits a 14 year old who thinks praxis is wearing the Che Guevara t-shirt he got at target and whose greatest struggle in life to date has been ordering extra guac at chipotle but not getting a sufficiently extra amount of guac

@monorail this was a very tortured setup to a joke i've made before, but i stand by it

a thing somebody should do for next christmas, due to the delightful gaggle of Hollys like @monorail in the fediverse

a "your character here" style commission where it's your fursona smooching/snuggling with Poison Ivy from Batman, in some sort of Santa hat

bc, you know

the Holly and the Ivy, 's festive, innit

@mouseglitch I KNOW RIGHT

IT'S AWFUL. HOW DARE DISNEY DO THIS.

that and the build-a-bear lightsaber thing. i was all "oh all of these just sound not quite up my alley in terms of shops. i can resist." but no. then they had to announce you can build your own lightsaber and be guided through it and choose your crystal color and whatnot. and fuuuck. FUCK. FUUUUUUUUUCK.

we're so doomed lol

@mouseglitch i mean look at this. look. at. this. https://www.foodandwine.com/news/disney-star-wars-galaxys-edge-diet-coke-sprite-dasani-design

i am going to be in line with you paying 6 dollars for an orb of diet coke because FUCK THE LABEL'S IN AUREBESH AND THE CAP DESIGN FUUUUUUCK I WANT THAT

how could disney DO this to us

this may be potentially controversial given how evil the disney corp is

however

as a star wars fan i keep getting a very specific type of angry at the new star wars theme part of disney world

not because i hate it

but rather the opposite

i fucking need this shit and i am so furious, how could they do this to me. how could they inflict this on me, a poor disabled bitch. let me live disney. LET ME LIVE. FUCK. but first pass the orb cola and lightsaber churros fuuuuuuuuuuck

is it bad that my first glimpse at seeing the "garlic flavor coca-cola" photoshop is that i went

"actually i bet that would work really well to baste a ham with"

@Anarkat fortunately i just read about the work of Prof. Andrew Tallon, so if it is a complete rebuild, there is a lot of very good data to go off - https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/06/150622-andrew-tallon-notre-dame-cathedral-laser-scan-art-history-medieval-gothic/

and fortunately i suppose the stained glass, being the main draw, will be thoroughly documented with pictures etc. given the number of coffee table books on that subject

that is unexpectedly hitting me hard

i really hope the stained glass is going to be ok, or at least recoverable

@BearishMushroom Paw And Order immediately came to mind

Like... Y'know, Nya is also a strong candidate

@AudreyJune (either way soooooooo much nicer than electrolysis where you have to let it grow out a bit so the tweezers can grip it and just sit there feeling awful and skuzzy)

@AudreyJune OH I ACTUALLY REMEMBERED SOMETHING USEFUL I FORGOT

the sensation really gets turned way way down if you do it IMMEDIATELY after shaving. well ok, like same day. but it definitely has more of a pop if i leave it until the next day because then the hairs are longer, so it's more of the bit getting fried, and all that.

iirc it actually also works better with newly-shaved because it means more nuking in the follicle base as well?

"harp", some of you may be thinking, reading that last post, "what the fuck"

listen

listen!

let those who have not taken off a bra at the end of the day wherein they ate candy, and gone "oh hey an m&m got in there! ...it's still good, mm a snack" throw the first stone!

@beebs@queer.party ah yes, you're mastering a key technique: the Snack For Later

...you do have to move fast when non-shelled candy goes in there though, but m&ms end up ok for longer than you'd think
