X is a place where someone can say all this like its a bad thing.

A drag queen is running under the name 'Maebe A. Girl' to be a state senator in California for the Democratic Party. His main policies are 'LGBTQIA+ rights' and 'fuck fascism'. He's considered to be a front runner, having come second in a congressional election in 2022

#OTD 45 years ago (7 Oct 1980) according to my diary, I drew these images for the Hitchhiker's Guide BBC TV series. Douglas Adams as both the ad exec and as Paula, the worst poet in the universe. I was 19 years old and having fun.

3: What kind of digestion or endo or other?

STOP ASKING ME ABOUT DIGESTION AND ENDO

2: Digestion, endo, or something else?

I don't know what this means, so I'll go for "something else".

Oh God, someone actually liked this. Okay then, here we go.

...look, I don't want to eat people, and I don't want to be eaten. But if I was forced to choose, then I'd go with predator out of self-preservation.
