One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (it’s because the type of turtle they are is a “painted turtle”). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-

Cartoon drawing of a teenage mutant ninja turtle with a brown afro, like Bob Ross, and a yellow eye band. Labeled “Bob”, an honorary unofficial fifth TMNT. Bob looks like a shy friendly outcast ninja turtle, to be honest. Made for an 8yo boy who made a cute comment ☺️

“That there’s a damn shame, Bill. Yeah, no, sorry, I didn’t see anything. I was visiting my sister’s tree over on Morgan. I’ll ask around and let you know if I hear something, though. Geez, what a world, am I right? Anyway, your homeowners policy should cover it, no?”

Why do I want to throw every human I hear loudly chewing out of the nearest window but when it’s an animal it’s just the cutest sound ever

Huh! So there’s content filtering but not technically words? Or was content filtering just rumored so people didn’t have to listen to rape smut on booktok and then everyone thought they had to say graped?

The pride of saying "yes" when someone asks "have you shopped with us before?" Witness my loyalty, lay coupons at my feet

Bluesky taught me the joy of blocking. I block people everywhere now. I just blocked an ex boyfriend on duolingo. I can't stop.

Sometimes a user will post a joke and then that very same user will post something sincere. And I as the reader am expected to understand this, using my brain?

👀 wat

Leen McBeans 🦇 @leenmcbeans.bsky.social · 18h

I appreciate the pause and perspective. There’s definitely a lot of things I thought were bigger deals when I was younger and have since been humbled enough to realize the error in my thinking. I respect it

I love the idea of creating a new name too, really
