I am reposting my favorite Melonette post in awhile.

Simplified diet diagram of two woman figures. Identical in appearance except width. The thinner body on the right is lined with fruits and vegetables, while the left body is full of an assortment of junk food, fried food, and baked breads.

This post is trying to say "eat healthy be skinny" but that generalization is not helpful for a person to diet healthily.

And besides, the skinny figure has a whole damn pumpkin in their waist like pumpkins aren't typically ten pounds.

My green slime character Melonette, full of vegetables like the skinny character in the previous image. However, she is not herself skinny and looks disappointed.

VHS Halloween is great because this motherfucker Mr. Fun Size is just perfect for me to draw fan art of.

Frame of the VHS Halloween short film "Fun Size. A man in a pirate costume is dripping with caramel and afraid, standing in a dark warehouse. Behind him is a red candy headed man in a bright yellow suit and crown, posing nonchalantly.

“finish adding a feature” we literally all thought was there from the get go. “finish adding a feature” when jay yelled at all of us to shut the fuck up and federate if we wanted change.

unbelievable

Asked about why Link had to contact Bluesky to ask what had happened to his account rather than receiving a notice, Paul Frazee, the service's CTO, said that it was "unfortunate," and that Bluesky needed to finish adding a feature to let users of external PDSes know if they have been banned by Bluesky labelers.

I will not read Homestuck.
There is so excruciatingly much left in the world to read besides, and vanishingly little time on earth. So if i had to skip one, it's HS.

I get strange looks but people are ok with it.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

My only take on "Clanker."

Acting like you need a slur against a computer is acting like you need a slur against anybody. And a lot of people I otherwise respect are acting like they need this one so badly.

Starting work on a classic OC relationship chart for tomorrow's OC-Tober prompt - definitely feeling this rip

A meme I found on Pinterest - "my OC lore only exists in abstract concepts and pivotal scenarios playing in my head which both me and you cannot know"

If anyone knows the original source, please let me know! I tried to reverse image search to find the original poster but was lead in circles 🥲
