INT. Oval Office, late afternoon (because November) Mamdani: *finishes arranging McDonalds french fries in the shape of a tower* I was thinking the housing would look something like this, Mr. President. Trump: It's brilliant! I love this kid! JD, get in here and see this new kid!

I think right now we should be uplifting Chicago style in solidarity

I liked two posts about the blood moon that were photos taken through telescopes, and now I'm getting a bunch of posts about the blood moon that are most astrological in nature. Not mad about it, just observing how fast ideologies overtake sciences on this platform.

bro this is genuinely hysterical

What's with the sun setting on the British Empire nowadays?

Went to the symphony tonight and the first chair violinist was about 5 months pregnant. Idk when fetuses can start hearing, but imagine being in the womb and you're just engulfed in the sounds and vibrations of the greatest pieces of music of generations for a few months

Me (the cat) when my husband (the fox), who takes the bus to work (we have 2 cars but live in a city with ok public transit), complains about someone honking because a vehicle in front of the bus took 15 seconds too long to start going and my husband feels bad for the bus driver

Me to my Very Offline Husband: So a Zoomer on Twitter called a classic song "sinister." Guess which song. It's a very famous song. MVOH: "I've Put a Spell on You" Me: Good guess. "Uptown Girl." MVOH: wtf

surrogate two parents is better than no parents

This is not to say that kids prefer trans parents or not, just that they statistically benefit from having their bio parents in contention. If that's not possible (and I know a lot of personal cases in which it's not)

My point here is that kids don't care. They want their parent. If they were raised with their bio parent', they'd rather a Mrs. Doubtfire situation than something else

Sarah and the kids came over, and we hung out, and not one of them said anything to me about it except, "Just so you know, our dad is our other mom now."

So I say yes, and my dad says, "Well, now Jeff is Sarah," and I say, "Okay. Does Sarah have the same kids as Jeff did, or does she have different kids?" and my dad says, "Same kids." And I said, "Okay." All I cared about was playing with the other kids.

xx Jeff had been over to our house many times, and I recognized and liked him, even though he'd been my parent's friend, so I obviously hadn't hung out with him much. He had two daughters, though, around my age, so I always liked when we hung out with Jeff's family xx

I was a fairly little kid when I had my first experience with the concept of someone being trans. I was maybe 6 or 7. My dad came home from work one day (this was back when coworkers hung out outside of work), and my dad said, "You know Jeff?" xx

me: *eating scrambled egg* one of my cats: I want to steal this from you; I will say so by hitting your fork hand many times me: Okay, jerk, here's some egg *sets dime-sized amount of egg in front of cat* cat: *hits egg onto floor, leaves room* Men: say cats have utility

Is it weird that I sing this to the tune of "Hot to Go?"
