re: The Struggle Is Real 

@mawr Ah, yes. Peg and I refer to them as "The Voice of Binky." Binky has rarely steered us wrong. :D

re: Analogy for being Non-Binary in 2019 (cw: transphobia) 

@mawr Have you read @indi's allegory about the two gender summer camps? I think you'd like it.

I link to a lot of music, and I think I've ever linked to this before, but it's kind of an important song, and I kinda *do* want us all to love ourselves. And it's Reggie, FFS!

@mawr Eek. :O So glad you're all ok!

re: SU cold take 

@inmysocks I mean, right?

It was a good show. Almost everything was resolved. Let Lion take a victory lap. 😻​

Hey, let's just start the morning with a little despondency, huh? Courtesy of social media: suddenly reminding you of people whose hearts you've broken and vice-versa for over 20 years!

Corgis, don't try this at home. This is a professional stunt corgi (as well as a hypothetical spherical, massless point-corgi).

re: magic realist tiger moment; mood (-) 

@JulieSqveakaroo So what you're saying is that the cure to my depression is to pouncemurder a piano for five minutes?

You know, that doesn't sound half bad.

magic realist tiger moment; mood (-) 

*hides in the back of the closet and hwarfs up a gigantic hairball that proves, on closer inspection, to be a wad of chewed-up fortune-cookie strips that all have the word "REGRET" printed on them*

*sighs and noses listlessly at chewtoys for the rest of the evening, maybe stress-binges on the scraps of last night's antelope, before settling on a slightly too-small box to hide in and sulk*

Since it still seems to be kinda obscure, I'll pass around a little love for it: The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell on Netflix is really cute.

It's basically just a craft and cooking show with goth Muppets and a "creepycute" theme, but they're really good Muppets and actually quite impressive craft projects. The arrogant mummified cat is satisfyingly arrogant and the skanky raccoon is quite exceptionally skanky. 8/10

ps you will NEVER actually do any of these crafts

re: The Sport, family issues (or non-issues) 

I feel like I should clarify: my dad was actually a pretty good guy if you take his whole personality into account. He was only an asshole on a few specific points... like "dammit, my kid is going to play football" and "dammit, my kid is going to learn to ride a bike." (SPOILER: NEITHER EVER HAPPENED.) But he was still a funny and intelligent guy, despite a bit of a Homer Simpson butthead streak, and I think I had a pretty damn good childhood for the most part.
