Thread worth reading.

Quick cultural lecture time, from Sigrid Ellis:

As we are in Spooky Season, why do so many horror movies of the 80s and early 90s feature extremely creepy homeless people?

They were just waiting to get rid of all diversity, weren’t they? FFS.

Now I will dream of having tiny T. Rexes on leashes as we walk to the park.

Lucas Nunes @lucasjn.bsky.social · 1d

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Stop talking to yourself, self. No one cares.

This is the kind of stuff retellings are made of. What if, instead of cloistering himself away in the castle, the Beast went out into the world to try and track down the sorceress to break his own curse? 🤔 But things go haywire because the sorceress has scars of her own…

Hillary Monahan @hillarymonahan.bsky.social · 13h

If The Beast had tracked down the sorceress and said he was sorry, he was 12 when he pulled that shit and 12 year olds are 62.6% demon by weight, maybe he'd have gotten defurred sooner.

The world is already awful. Why do I have to make it more awful?

Jillian Spiridon @jillianspiridon.bsky.social · 13h

Wholesome or grotesque? We may never know.

It’s so lonely being asexual. I can’t relate to 90% of the relationships fed in media.

I’m staying alive until my cats die. That’s my ultimatum.

I was thinking this earlier:

“The Trump administration is not going to ruin everyone’s life.”

No, it’s not going to ruin everyone’s life—not the one-percenters, anyway. The ones with bunkers and gated mansions and enough money where “healthcare” is another commodity, not a luxury.

Just thinking.
