I did some silly sketches to even try to figure out what raccoons ARE. I was looking at photos and trying to keep things quick and simple... featuring @adi.vote ~

Watching these people lose comfortable retirement levels of cash multiple times over only bolsters my "tax cryptobros into oblivion" dream policy.

Parisian vampires enjoy cinema too.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

lol gentle reminder that DEI is not illegal. Supporting marginalized groups is not illegal. Anyone reneging on support is making a CHOICE to do so.

I guess only hating myself for being lazy and inept at so many essential things is an improvement over loathing my very being, but it'd be nice if those things weren't around either.

If I made any implication that fully-finished art were something that could be done for "a quick buck", my partner would overcook all of my steaks until they were charcoal.

As we all know, nothing done for children can be art.

Ringtail Rolls a Nat 20 Again (Sorry!) @worldweaver.errux.net · 1d

But even that got corrected, before long.

Ridiculous behavior from this person. I don't even live in a blue state (Raleigh!) and the worst I'd gotten was from the dentists' software failing to let the receptionist update my first name.

once again i cannot emphasize enough that transphobia is almost entirely an elite panic. the overwhelming majority of people simply do not care—it is media and political elites who are obsessed with us and keep bending over backwards to justify and spread transphobia.

Nicole DeWitt @catastro-v.bsky.social · 3d

the idea that trans rights have swung elections to republicans is a fiction made up by media and political elites (both conservative and liberal) who are personally transphobic and want transphobia to be politically popular so they no longer have to hide how disgusting they think trans people are
