it's really weird to me that Shonen Knife never covered "Rainbow Connection"

who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the evening star?
somebody thought of that and someone believed it,
look what it's got us so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?

I applied for some more jobs, and then it turns out that "Dreams" is free on YouTube, so I watched the first sequence with the fox wedding and I am kind of a wreck right now as a result.

aaaaa aaaaa aaaa aaaa
aaaaa aaaaa aaaa aaaa
we come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

a wolf shall devour the sun
and this will be counted a great misfortune
another wolf shall devour the moon
and this too will do great mischief

“Dilophosaurus” has the same syllable count as “My Little Pony.”

I used to wonder what friendship could be, Dilophosaurus, until you all shared its magic with me

Wanna go home and draw. That’s “draw” not “look for a new day job because mine has suddenly been largely obsoleted,” but well

I used to want my body to go to a med school to be used as a study aid for would be doctors and illustrators, but talking about it today I realized I’ve lost faith that medical illustration will still be around and that doctors will be available for other than the wealthy when I die. That’s assuming my body doesn’t get dumped in a mass grave because there’s been a pandemic, a fascist regime or some result of climate change.

@chimerror I figure if any of the wizards are trans men it’s probably Radagast

@porsupah ha ha streaming only uh… in an age of decreased abortion/birth control access I don’t think there’s a huge market for wanting your periods monitored by notably unsecured phones

And similarly, after waving a flaming sword at Gandalf he takes off for the other end of the battle, is it possible that he knows he’s facing a Maia (not a Man) and is playing safe?

So wait a minute. No living Man may kill the Witch King but the other wraiths aren’t alive and Sauron was never a Man, so is JRRT also hinting that the Witch King’s loyalty is rooted in constant fear of being axed by his boss or his subordinates?

The human condition is probably being told you need to shut up, sit down, work hard, save money, and trust Jesus, when what you actually want to hear is that you’re loved and safe.

@SummerJackel thanks; I know I keep bringing this up, but disliking a dog, not wanting a dog around, is so new for me and antithetical to my entire worldview.

As a kid my favorite parts of LotR were Gandalf’s death, and Eowyn revealing her identity to the Witch-King. Even though my tastes have changed, I still think the latter is just an incredible exchange of really memorable dialogue; equivalent to the rapid fire exchange when Rachel meets Deckard in Bladerunner.

@amagire yeah. Hope all y’all are okay down there.

Currently feeling the statement “you are more valuable than how you are treated” is the self-esteem equivalent to Occam’s Razor.

@Oneironott yap!

@svirdilu 💙💙💙💙!

Just wanted to get that off my chest. Addendum *I’m* the extreme left, y’ever thought about that?

Okay so;
1) Biden and Inslee have little to do with the price of fuel and are scarcely liberals unless you mean “left of Ronald Reagan” which isn’t exactly hard
3) how do you know biotech and computers are easy jobs, y’worked them? How do you know young people working them can’t do real work, y’know them?
4) they’re not going to go on welfare and even if they did that’s not a comfortable position to just vibe in
5) maybe your hiring woes are bigger than just people being lazy and innately evil?
