movies, animal harm, loathing, spoilers for a mediocre-looking film 

Started watching Secret Window because I'm bored and it was there. Saw the dog and thought "Huh, they're giving that dog a lot of attention. Dammit, are they setting up a Sacrificial Pet?"

Checked on DoesTheDogDie.com. Was right. Closed the browser.

I'm not one of those people who's super-sensitive about these things -- at least, not unless I'm actively anxious about the cats for whatever reason.

But FUCK do I hate emotional manipulation, and I can usally tell when a film is about to do lazy shit for a cheap tearjerk. No thanks.

Good riddance, Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 46% anyway. Can someone recommend a GOOD thriller in a similar vein, that DOESN'T sacrifice a pet-- or FFS, an otherwise totally plot-superfluous woman, LOOKING AT YOU HERE DAVID FINCHER YA SHITBIRD-- so they don't have to bother establishing any real tension?

math is comforting to me

at least some things are both beautiful and eternal

@001zlnv i mean it couldn't hurt, sounds better than my FIFTH playthru of the 10-hr strong bad email compilation

family (~/-), mh (--) 

Welp, mom finally dropped the Poignance Bomb I was braced for. We talked about what happens if my stepdad doesn't make it through the year, which is not at all impossible.

Rough conversation. We talked about how many of his friends he's lost in the last few years, including my mom's brother, his own brother, his own dad, and his son/my brother Matt, who was an amazing kid and we all miss the shit out of. ;___;

And it hurt a lot, honestly, because... it's like... how do you tell your mom "YES OK BUT I KNEW THIS ALREADY BECAUSE I HAVE CHRONIC ANXIETY AND DEATH TRAUMA LEFT OVER FROM DAD SO UM I KINDA PONDER THESE THINGS 5-6 TIMES ON A NORMAL DAY."

It's funny, mom was back to full good humor 20 seconds after we finished talking, and that just makes me feel worse, because... god, it reminds me she just has to live immersed in this every day. And I feel powerless and horrible, all reminded that EVERY story on this miserable planet ends with a tragedy and I'm gonna lose EVERYONE someday.

I could use... anything. Anything. I'm reeling. I dunno. Anything you can offer.

skinnyshaming, mocking an nft bro so it's ok 

"i want you to find the son of a bitch who ran this beautiful, soft young man through the douchifier and bring me his head"

@anthracite oh god i'm sorry

mostly about seeing the matrix but also the other thing i guess

(srsly, mine always recuperated after like 5-10 minutes tops-- but i know yours has been having weird battery issues to start with? gl hun, hope it's ok!)

family, wisdom (+) 

wow

my mom was so right

one, not giving a shit if people don't like you really is a superpower

two, it kicks in naturally in our family somewhere around our 40s

i feel like that kid from "invincible" (what was his superhero name?🤔​) except i didn't have to inherit my powers from space hitler

just from an run-of-the-mill, absolutely savage, midwestern mama bear with zero chill <3

re: shenanigans, chud damage, xmas cheer, cw: firearms 

Some glorious day, the right-wing militias will discover just how heavily armed queer people are.

But until then, I will have to settle for the thrill of seeing the surprise on these cringefarmers' faces when they realize that, yeah, contrary to what they've been taught to expect, furries do have a sense of irony.

And some of us have been carefully sharpening it for YEARS waiting for this kind of thrill.

re: shenanigans, chud damage, xmas cheer 

The thing about being tormented constantly by queer-furry-bashing trolls for >5 years is that you start to recognize just why and how some of their tactics work so damn well.

These people might as well have built me in a lab like a Terminator. They have only themselves to blame. I am the Robo-Bambi T1000, Butcher of Goon Hill (there is an actual story behind this), and no earthly force but death can stop me.

shenanigans, chud damage, xmas cheer 

nothin like a few Christmas Island flags to show you're not sincere in the least ^_______^

trust me, this idiot deserved it-- basically a KiwiFarms chudlet who bitched some poor pony fan out PURELY for calling herself a pony and having a pony icon, because apparently This Is Why The Normies Won't Take Queer People Seriously.

His buddy threatened me with Twitter Jail, which is hilarious, for "stalking" his friend, which is also hilarious. I read the whole TOS for kicks: there's no rule against "going through old tweets looking for snarkbait." Sorry, Vladdie. :D
