Again I propose that in addition to Taco Tuesday, there’s Taco Monday, Taco Wednesday, Taco Thursday, Taco Friday and there’s menudo on weekends

I’m pretty sure I’m sober, they thought, giggling to themselves at the concept of “Tricliterops, the horniest ceratopsian.”

"How to make French onion soup" well to be REAL French onion soup it has to come from the Langue d'Ail region of France otherwise it's just cheesy bulb soup

what an odd art thing; I'm looking at someone on e621 and some of their character design (and faces) doesn't work for me at all, but they have a truly fantastic understanding of lighting and contrast.

one thing Masto doesn't have that I love about it compared to Twitter is no trends. I really dislike feeling like someone else has decided what I'm vitally interested in (even when it's what I'm vitally interested in) and I think trends make our political situation look worse than it actually is. This is one of those crummy things that pre-dates the present leadership.

and immediately after "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi" my mind spits out "and incidentally my liege is how we know the earth to be banana-shaped."

this pretty much starts with CHRISTMASTIME

also, similar music cues to Danny's Spider Man soundtracks again suggest that Spidey and the MiBs exist in the same fictional NYC and know about each other.

okay red wine and Coke? Is a little like having re-invented generic supermarket Dr. Pepper.

okay, I just fessed up to gender dysphoria on main over on Twitter. Oh shit, did I just say that on main over on Mastodon?

must not pick fights with people about AI art on a Telegram channel. Must keep frith.

O, my accursed soul in this eternal night! Naught can know the depths of my anguish beyond having four dots in Celerity!

this eternal HUNGER can only be sated with the pumpkin jam that Trader Joe's has these days. Trust me it's good.

Next up, assuming the 60s Adam West show as the model, trying to sing BATMAN to any possible Batman movie or series theme. Yes, I’m thinking of BtAS as my default here.

I mean at least I assume a somehow living hamburger eating pickles would sound like Jabba the Hutt. I can’t be the *only* person who’d assume that.

ethnic/art rant 

Okay most “race” stuff is pointless but complaining that an artist portrays only Black people is EVEN POINTLESSIER;

* how often have artists portrayed only Caucasians, so why *not* only Black people?
* by definition there have been centuries of African art with nothing but Black people
* similarly I can walk into parts of Oakland and be the only pale skinned person there, so why would art work different?
* most importantly if someone is stoked to draw *anything*, why stop them?

I like Mastodon, but it’s greatest strength is Twitter’s greatest weakness and vice versa. Centralization means I can blunder into say, herpetologist Twitter, which I absolutely adore, instead of having to know liz.ard exists and then if awoo federates with it; but centralization means it’s always easy to encounter ultra rightwing Twitter AND if Twitter goes, say because new management is completely in love with an unviable business model, all of it goes.

Before this takeover, I thought of Twitter’s employees as basically hostile; people making incomes better than I could dream, enjoying lifestyles I’ll never enjoy, the sort of people the Bay Area wants, not shit like me; yet helping make the last Administration so much personal hell.

But all that was needed to make me really sympathetic to Twitter employees was instituting a legitimately toxic boss. I hope *they* land somewhere nicer.

Uspol, gun control opinion, - 

Also Oregon passed an ordinance limiting magazines etc and now every pro gun leftist in my feed is screaming about this, not exactly enjoyable reading. It’s shitty that there’s no right answer here; no gun control measures mean people get shot all the damn time, but any gun control measures mean enforcement, and enforcement means police letting their ultra right buddies off while eagerly harming and killing whoever they want.

Unfollowed someone on Twitter because she is a fantastic artist, but I just can’t deal with the non art posts. Feel bad about this but buttons got pressed and this is the simplest resolution.
