A chunky gray tuxedo cat is standing on his hind haunches in a kitchen accepting a treat from an outstretched hand. His front paws are dangling in front of him politely, and his belly is sticking out

I hate gay Halloween. WTF do you mean you're Nomi from the scene in Showgirls where they throw her a pool party at the Paradiso because she got the lead in Goddess?

Many of them are just thinking about this stuff for the first time, I’d like to see more trans flags, I wonder where their outrage was when the decades of groundwork for today was being laid. But they’re still human beings, and they’re here now, and they’re trying.

Constantly flipping "on" to "in" in ways that make the sentence make less sense, while not being able to catch typos like "instamce"

How is autocorrect getting worse. I feel like it was perfect in 2013 and it’s just progressively gotten shittier.

It’s really disheartening to see people who admit this regime is doing eugenics fail to understand the ways in which chronically ill, disabled, and immunocompromised people are just absolutely fucked by Long Covid

This is Boksil. She is reaching levels of cozy previously unheard of. 12/10 a trailblazer (IG: with_bokdanji)

a small cream colored dog stares up at us. this is Boksil, swaddled in a grey robe, and tucked underneath a thick blanket on a bed. her little paws poke out of the robe's sleeves, and her toe beans are in full view. her tiny pink tongue mlems from her grinning mouth.

a higher angle of Boksil. a small yellow pillow rests beside her for scale, and her eyes are closed peacefully as she rests swaddled under a white blanket, looking very cozy.

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.
