Now is not the time to point fingers about who gives him table scraps of dairy because he begs for it like such a polite gentleman. Let’s not politicize this okay

Loomis the black cat, his green eyes enormous, on a purple towel in a veterinary exam room. He looks like you just told him what an oven is and that he left his on

Lately I've been thinking of this as "platform logic" bc it's pretty much always got a platform

You aren't connected to a person or people. You're connected to the platform, which can facilitate specific types of interactions with people.

You don't have a dr, you have a care platform

J🎃ckie (possibly) @doesnotcare.lol · 11d

And! You have zero continuity of care. You see a different doc every time you go - there’s no ONE person looking at your chart to notice trends/patterns.

You get worse care - things get missed - you get *worse.*

Insurance company makes even *more* money.

It’s gross af.

I've heard every "we have to hit them where it hurts" argument in the book, and none of them are beating the allegations that people just want to make fun of fat bodies.

You are telling every fat person in your life that they disgust you, that their bodies are comical or degenerate or useless. You are telling every fat person in your life you don't respect them.

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

Let’s talk about ‘whoa.’

First of all, ‘woah’ is not yet considered an established spelling variant of ‘whoa.’

While ‘woah’ has grown in prevalence since the late 20th century, ‘whoa’ is still about 5 times as common as ‘woah.’

Anime Sickos is unlikely to ever do "live shows" since I don't think the format works in that setting. "Ohhh but I want to see Tom and Joe be funny live!" Well I never said you couldn't do that. Come to GENIUS NIGHT in Chicago on Monday Oct 20 and you will see both of us going nutty on stage

Watching social media videos of Chicagoans protecting other Chicagoans from ICE produces such a mix of emotions. Grief and terror shot through with pride. I love this city so much and I hate what's being done to it.
