I really hate that mammals as a class of animal are named after our ability to ooze milk from our bodies. That seems like a classification a perverse type of alien would give us but WE DID IT TO OURSELVES. WHY

You’re projecting humans perverse ideologies onto innocent aliens. We ARE the perverse alien, and we had to do it to ourselves.

I really don’t like posting on her blog myself but I’m in a situation that warrants it. Me and my girlfriend were kicked out by our roommates a couple of weeks ago, so I drove to Los Angeles with her to try and find a programming job there. However, we don’t have the money to last us much longer, so I’m posting here to ask for help.

My paypal is mraof@mraof.com, if you could donate there I would greatly appreciate it. I also have a patreon at https://www.patreon.com/mraof, but as I have a more immediate need for money I would prefer donations to my paypal.

Me and my girlfriend Ashley also need temporary housing, we are both trans women and both have cars.

If you have any leads for programming jobs in the LA area (or remotely), contact me at mraof@mraof.com. Other than sbnkalny, I’ve written the Minecraft mod Minestuck and various other mods and small projects, you can check out the source of a lot of what I’ve done (including sbnkalny) at https://github.com/mraof/

Taking your pet abroad if there’s no Brexit deal

Oh my, looks like DEFRA actually has some published guidance on this, since September.

Mr. C came home a while ago pretty late from another drinks after work night: sloshed, showing some worry, and talking about going ahead and getting the cats set up with EU pet passports just in case.

Guessing there was probably some more discussion that got him thinking about it more urgently tonight, but he also said tonight that this political mess has come up in every single one-on-one conversation he’s had pretty much since the referendum vote.

(The Mr. Calm Cool and Collected act kinda breaks down when he’s been drinking, that’s for sure. Sounded like he’s been a lot more worried about the somewhat near future than he’s been letting on normally, which is honestly not that much of a surprise knowing him.)

He also brought up not being sure how best to go about moving the fish. But, by golly, if anyone is urgently hauling ass for Sweden, everyone is going! He apparently felt like this was important to emphasize 😅

So yeah, while I’m pretty concerned about what might happen with this ongoing political clusterfuck, and how I might manage with some practical details as bad as my health situation has been? If he’s feeling a need to emphasize while disinhibited that Nobody In This Household Will Be Left Behind On His Watch, Dammit–explicitly extended to fish he really doesn’t take much interest in other than the fact that I care about them?

I am at least less concerned that he’s gotten quietly fed up with my bullshit to the point that he doesn’t want to live with it anymore.

(Which is totally a product of my own jerkbrain, and nothing to do with anything he has actually said or done. Just to be clear. I am a worrier, what can I say. Though both of us avoiding conflict past the point where it’s necessarily healthy–and for similar reasons AFAICT–doesn’t always help set my mind at ease. Maybe not his either.)

A short manga about a cute assassin from Toshiya Wakabayashi, mangaka of Tsurezure Children

He tried posting it on reddit but couldn’t figure out how to so he just copied someone else’s post

I will protect this man with my life.

sand dollars doin their thing

they’re basically sea roombas

I mean, I knew on some fundamental level that they’re related to sea urchins. I knew that the parts that I find on the beach are their skeletons.

WHY DID THIS VIDEO SURPRISE ME??

They aren’t just related to sea urchins, they are sea urchins.

They’re just a group of really flat sea urchins with really short spines

who eat sand

I’ve met folks who never even knew that regular sea urchins crawled around, let alone sand dollars
