Another reminder: I have it set so people I don’t follow can’t reply for a very good reason right now. I’m in autistic burnout and interactions are very difficult for me. Anyone circumventing that because they really feel I need to read their opinion on something I posted will be blocked immediately

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

Thing is they’re not even dangerous, he’s just gone mental and decided anything “ultra processed” is going to kill you and is trying to get the government to ban it. Massive fanny thinks sugar causes ADHD

Huge support to the inflatable frog costume person in Portland for both embarrassing the regime and reclaiming frog imagery from the internet right.

Our village is dead posh, I once saw a bloke out running barefoot.

He wasn’t even in just his underpants and being chased by an angry husband

Just had my jabs, so I can now go to the park and walk on a lead without being carried.

At this point it looks like they all know they’re cooked, and they’re doing things that will create future profits on paper in the hope the breakthrough they want will happen before people realise this isn’t free money if they just invest in this industry
