"I wouldn't want immortality, eventually you will get bored." listen it will take me 6,650 lifetimes just to watch all the movies and TV shows, read all the books, and play all the games that currently exist, I'm not going to even start worrying about it until then

bsky still hasn't fixed the issue with vanishing alt text on vids/gifs. so here y'go:

short video clip of a golden brown & white mutt looking up at the camera excitedly and wagging her tail as she awaits a treat. one of her ears is half raised while the other remains in its typical floppy position

being anti-zionist as a gentile is in fact antisemitic, and also it's advocating for the expulsion of most living Jews from their home, don't you dare try to piggyback on this post, David Lynch (the lesser)

suddenly spotted this street art in the Lower East Side of Manhattan while hurriedly browsing for gifts for my in-laws two days ago and oh I was SO tempted to cackle but didn't--mostly 'cause I had company 😁✌️

spray-painted graffiti of an indigo/purple/pink gradient ribbon or scroll design on the side of the building in Manhattan with the words "U Get Me sO HiGH" on it in black lettering

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"
