So, I guess this needs to be said, apparently: there is no shame in getting Covid.

A few of my friends and acquaintances who’ve been constantly vigilant and have taken thorough precautions throughout the pandemic have come down with Covid for the first time within the last month or so, and they seem somewhat embarrassed by this. As though they did something wrong and their sickness of proof of this. Please, if you get sick with Covid (or anything else) don’t feel guilt or shame, and don’t feel like you’ve somehow failed.

And please don’t feel you have to hide being sick. Sure there are judgy jerks out there, but fuck those people. A lot of us are more than happy to run an errand or provide any other support we can.

There is nothing shameful about being sick.

WITH A TASTE FROM A POISONED PARADISE
FUNKY LITTLE SHACK! FUNKY LITTLE SHACK!

Oh no Toxic is on the radio and now it’s hard not to suddenly respond with “DIG through the ditches and BURN through the witches Ah SLAM in the back of mah DRAGULAAAA”

Look, some decrepit old buildings went down, what might go up here? Could it be more square condos I can’t afford? Maybe apartments I can’t afford? Or maybe it’ll be a charming bar I can’t afford or sell bike stuff or provide dog care services since those are things I can’t afford either! The future here in Seattle is so hopeful and exciting!

"ok but it's not like he can just liquidate all his investments and give away $140 billion"

You're right! It means that, of the $463.567 trillion of wealth in the world, across 8.01 billion people, he has basically autocratic control over 2,419,068 people's share of the world's economy.

When someone's net worth is nearly completely in capital, it doesn't indicate how much stuff they have as much as how much power they have.

Consider this in the context of how the past fifty years worth of economic policy have been all about "free trade" and privatisation.

But to merely find new worlds for Galactus to devour be not enough; nay, for a true herald must carry with him the Sauce Cosmic, no mere vinegary letdown but burning with the Scofield rating of a dying star.

Something that’s been bothering me for a while here 

The former owner comes in daily as a consultant, and usually brings his dog with him 2 days of the week. She’s an old bichon frise who will bark or whine nigh constantly if he ignores her, and pees the carpet (unsure if that’s trying to get attention or just lack of control due to aging). So I really don’t like her (thoughts like “wish the feral coyotes would eat you”) and this is pretty upsetting since I used to think I liked all little dogs.

I’m still amused by paraphrasing Lt. Col “it’ll be a complete meat grinder but it’ll end the Turkish menace and besides it’ll be ANZACS being ground up anyway, not actual Brits, cha ching!” as saying “rum, buggery and the lash.” Buggery is funnier than sodomy, and both are funnier than “anal sex.”

dude DUDE dude! Ron Spencer has or had a blog

ronspencer.wordpress.com/

look at this stuff it's like all the werewolf art I wish I'd been suspended for drawing in my high school calculus class. mad props.

Werewolf artist, description of gore, clean furry art (not mine) 

whoa Ron Spencer did a nice illustration of a horse furry with long blond hair and a spray of flowers

no spray of intestines

no fangs tearing into exposed throats

no headbanging to Of Wolf And Man

just a peaceful horse archangel. monstersandstuff.home.blog/201

Food, drug mention 

Thinking about; using bacon to help cook a batch of kale as dinner. But part of me wants to make tofu jigae. Part of me wants to pay bills and rent and have an edible.

Morbid curiosity gets me clicking on this “mysterious WWII discovery outside Paris.” What is it, a mass grave? A scrapped bunker or pontoon bridge? Some sort of SS ritual site conceived of while hopped up on schnapps and five hour long operas about Arthurian mythology?

Nope, it’s a “massive tank.”

What’re we talking about, a Jagdpanther or Pershing tank? Nope. They found most of an M-5.

@DrSagan whoa did you know Danny did a score for Cirque du Soleil?

It sounds exactly like I'd expect from "Danny Elfman scored a Cirque du Soleil production."

again using uuuuuUUUUUUH as a shorthand for Tom Waits songs the same way you might use "Aaaaangst!" as a shorthand for Smashing Pumpkins or "PUNCH SOMETHING!" as a shorthand for Rollins Band

Throwback to a couple of weekends ago, trying to remember happier moments, here’s some forest and waterfalls in Olympic State Forest.
