Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

while getting jeered at by fatphobic assholes on reddit isn't a great way to start the day, it did at least make me sit down and examine my relationship to checking reddit and decide it was a good time to nuke my browsing history, take it off the shortcuts, and generally make it much harder for myself to get into the rut of gawking at misery and wanting to fight people

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz a friend who wants me to come visit them in colorado excitedly told me about "the first rattlesnake of spring" awhile ago

...............i don't think they quite understand how terrifying this is to normal people who are not part-fae ethereal chaos beings like they are.

colorado is a strange place.

also fuck pollen solidarity from the south Oh God The Yellowing Begins

@InspectorCaracal yeah, but i also see how if i listed "she/her I'M CISHET" as my pronouns like, it would end up just doing fuckin nuffin. so i chucked token cishet joke in one spot and listed my pronouns on like... the listy part? and i'm hoping that's an okay compromise but i'm also not sure and now fretting needlessly, which i am also good at

what should i be doing here basically? i'm trying to not step on toes either way, because inviting myself into spaces where i am not invited is boorish, but also pressuring people to out themselves is boorish.

is there a community standard i should be looking to here, or a like commonly done thing practice?

i know i'm probably overthinking this at this point, but overthinking is something i'm quite good at lol

trying to avoid the 💿 🐴, but a question of masto etiquette -

so pronouns listed in profile good, but should i remove mention of being cishet from my profile as well?

i know the idea of listing pronouns is to normalize that/make it easier on trans people, and listing my being cishet may be at cross-purposes with that. but i feel it's also kind of important to note so that i don't come across as like... a bullshit party crasher. i want to make sure i'm properly labelled so people can avoid me.

the smithsonian article also has a delightful picture from the twitter of one of the scientists wherein a banana is included for scale

although other bad things are happening in this world, please remember: new froggies have been discovered in madagascar! they are tiny! and they have been given the new genus name: Mini! and the new frog species are: M. ature, M. scule, and M. mum.

@Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online fucking co-signed, please pay attention to this VERY important series of public service announcements everyone THANK YOU.

@InspectorCaracal with enough glue and possibly mod podge, ANYTHING CAN STICK TO ANYTHING

however mod podge is shit to wrassle with sometimes. but i bet it could probably stick. i mean pill bottles are made so adhesive labels stick to them after all

ofc you gotta drill a drainage hole in the middle for planters but it could be a cute size for like. One Small Seedling. maybe something like a mint plant

the big chonkers i get my metformin in though would make pretty good pencil cups lmao

yknow i should do some crafts with all of my empty pill bottles

(since i saw that idea and i don't wanna crash the other thread bc it was addressed to an audience i am not part of)

i bet the smaller ones would be cute little seedling containers maybe

i wonder if washi tape sticks to old pill bottles?

i have to wonder if "the internet is just too quick to say break up in relationship advice!!!" is actually correlation/causation getting backwards

e.g., it's not the internet being stuck in a rut, but more like wondering why there are so many sick people in an ER waiting room

if your relationship is to the point where people seek advice, there's usually a big problem that's popped up, and that problem often is big enough that the answer is "DTMFA and GTFO"

I Will Stop Saying DTMFA When Motherfuckers Stop Needing To Be Dumped Already

small brain: the internet jumps to DTMFA too quickly in all relationship advice

bigger brain: the internet is sometimes right in that you have to break up with people if the relationship and mutual respect has fallen apart

galaxy brain: pushback along the lines of "the internet just says people should break up!!!" is often a misogynist tool to tell women they should allow any old bullshit and shame them for wanting to leave and is just STAND BY YOUR MAAAAAN in a scooby doo villain mask

CRY AND DOWNVOTE MORE, TERFS

YOU CAN EAT MY ENTIRE ASS AS YOU CRY ABOUT HOW MEAN I ARE SAYING THAT Y'ALL ARE VIOLENT AND STARTED ABOUT TRANS EXTERMINATION NOT JUST 'EXCLUSION'

SUCK MY DIIIIIIIIIICK

EVEN THO I'M CIIIIS I'LL GET A DIIIIIIICK JUST SO YOU CAN SUCK IT TEEEEEERFS

@InspectorCaracal EXCELLENT

MY NONSENSE TAKES FORM TO BETTER INFECT THE UNIVERSE

@InspectorCaracal concept to heighten it into proper-ass satire:

do one set of drawings for the comic. just one.

then do different dialog but just that

sometimes wildly different

like dinosaur comics, but overdramatic anime
