I love that phenomenon where ur talking to another neurodivergent person for the first time and u haven’t quite grocked their flavor of brain yet and they haven’t grocked yours and you’re both using your Acceptable Friendly Person Getting To Know You Script on each other but of course those scripts have been calibrated mainly for use with, like, normal people, so you just end up being like two conversational roombas bonking gently off one another like “hello fellow human” “hello fellow ‘hello fellow human’” until you both at some point manage to adjust your programming and actually like, communicate

It’s like when I was a kid I had two furbies and when you put them next to each other they’d just natter nonsensically past one another for a bit and then at some point one would abruptly recognize the other with its furby sensor or w/e and it would shout “DANCE!” and the other one would flap its ears and reply “HEY, DANCE” and then, in perfect unison, they would begin to rock back and forth while chanting “doot doot doo doot doot doo”

It’s exactly like that. I love it. Crazy people are the best, we are super excellent, i love us, i love crazy ppl

I wrote this post in my head while having a major dissociative episode in the bathroom and its the best and truest thing Ive ever said

**Please help!!

**PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**

Hey guys, I know that I keep making these annoying posts but I’m getting really, really desperate. I had to pay my rent today (November 24th) and I only have £6.52 left of my benefit after paying it and that’s to get me through all of December (Christmas/New Year) and you can’t imagine what kind of struggle that’s going to be for food/bills and I am unable to receive help from anywhere else (local council or food banks)

If anyone could possibly spare anything at all, even if it’s just £1/$1, please consider donating to my PayPal

($/€ donations please use the PayPal icon on my blog)

Thank you ❤❤

December 1st: Please, please consider donating guys if you possibly can. I’ve thankfully managed to pay a majority of my bills (gas/electricity/tax etc..) and all I have left to get is groceries/household supplies for December and I know that everyone is struggling with Christmas coming up but, if anyone is able to help me, please try. 🙏❤

PAYPAL

The Sea Monkeys and the White Supremacist

Maybe another reason to buy the Aqua Dragons or similar instead.

I ran across this piece earlier, and it’s a pretty wild ride. Including how many people around him were aware of von Braunhut’s involvement with Aryan Nations, while they kept brushing over it and making excuses to continue working with him. (What a surprise, right? 😒)

Von Braunhut died in 2003, and his company is apparently not even supplying the special hybrid eggs anymore after a big dispute between his estate and the outfit now using the name. (No wonder I was seeing a bunch of recent reviews suggesting that the quality had gone way downhill.) Not so keen on supporting Big Time’s business practices either, by the sound of things. But, von Braunhut may well have been funneling some of the Sea Monkey profits to white supremacist organizations for years, and the whole thing is pretty disturbing.

Just to make things weirder, from that NYT story:

Except for one almost unimaginable and horrible thing. Harold von Braunhut was a neo-Nazi. Moreover, a Jewish neo-Nazi. He was born Harold Nathan Braunhut, to Jewish parents. He inserted the “von” to sound more Germanic.

At some point before 1960, AFAICT.

(Also, from last year: Sea-Monkeys documentary explores toy creator’s dark side. It runs about 16 minutes, and was worth a watch.)

Arizona Cardinal

Northern Cardinals are popular in America, honored as the state bird in seven states. These photos were taken with a friend at the base of Tonto National Monument near Globe, AZ. We agreed they were the most uniquely colored Cardinals we had ever seen, different from the Cardinals we see in the Midwest. This male was photographed on a cloudy day. I’m guessing it has something to do with minerals absorbed into plants.
