Mr Thailand. Traditional, LOOK AT MY TITS *and* a sword. Very nice for such a simple look (comparatively). Also I know I said I wasn't going to comment on the contestant's looks, but my gods that's a breathtakingly beautiful man right there

This is amazing!

And this whole thread is an absolute Joy

Mr Laos. Just when you though this year was a bit quiet on the insanely huge, bedazzled, symbolic costumes along comes Mr Laos and blows everyone else out of the water. This is insane, but it's also *so* good.

TRUE.

But at least he is referencing something from the the '70s/80s and not.... 10 to 15 years ago!

Pollitt @pollitt.bsky.social · 20h

I just saw a clip on IG that was referencing "old" fandoms...

And then referenced Voltron.

And signs point to the 2010s Voltron.

I'd like a definition check on "old" because CHILD, NO.

Fun fact: Josh once responded to my wallet name Twitter and it is one of the high points for me because he is such a sweetie pea

Awwwwww. Pepper has been cuddling more in the morning (probably because I have the window open and it's chillier) and it's had me not wanting to get out of bed even MORE

It's Friday ducks!

This gif is more exuberant than I am, too, but I'm bringing the joy/silly I want to share 😁

I hope that your day is filled with good things and good people. I hope you have an opportunity to laugh and smile and may the chair zoomy silly find you today

See you on the flip

DEMO not demon.

(At least not that I know ... *Looks for purple veins*)

Pollitt @pollitt.bsky.social · 1d

Watching a demon for a platform and thankful I'm on mute and no camera because I just snorted at the phrase "frictionless is key" because yes for a system and automation, but for other stuff... It's the friction that makes it fun 😅

I posted this on Threads, it went low-key viral, and now dozens of people are posting they've bought it, some showing the sale confirmation they received. Social media is, sometimes, such a glorious thing.

Sale confirmation from Cards Against Humanity saying: "Thank you for your pre-order and for supporting the American Libraries Association! We hope you enjoy your Informational product this holiday season, your heart warmed by the knowledge that you didn't give Donald Trump a fucking cent."
