Francie is here with a BLEP vs. MLEM tutorial. A blep is when the tongue is just hanging out at rest, stationary. Mlem is an action word for when the tongue is performing a licking motion - hence the name which is an onomatopoetic interpretation of the sound it makes.

Feeling despair at the world and something that no bullshit made me feel a little better was giving ten bucks to support someone’s work on Patreon. Not that it’s a big deal but being able to go “oh I like this, I want more of this in the world” made me feel like I had .00000001% control of things.

And one ran up to me, chomping mittens at the ready, and then stopped and asked breathlessly "Can I chomp you?" Hooray, the consent messaging is getting in there!

excommunicating the fuckers who won’t respect your duly elected authority because you want to use it on behalf of people they hate, and who have forfeited their right to power because they’re using it to undermine progress, is the energy I wish Democrats would take into the White House JUST ONCE

Again, selectively ignoring blatant corruption and the criminalization of the press because “oh well that’s just Mississippi, they should move out the state lol” is how you signal there’s no commitment at all for a true politics of solidarity, commitment to principles.

I have two things to say about CPR. Actually 3. 1. Learn CPR. If you can't take a formal class for time/money reasons, go watch shit online. 2. You won't harm someone by performing CPR if they need CPR. You cannot make someone more dead. 3. Most CPR fails. Do it anyway.

It's NOT over. It's okay for folks to be upset. Be mad. Be sad. Be scared. Go ahead and feel a little despair. But then you need to shake it off and clock back in. Go have your freakout in whatever way you need to, and then get your ass back into the fight.

the thing with climate is every tenth of a degree matters it's not "well, we're over 2C, we're doomed, the end" 2.5C is worse than 2.4 is worse than 2.3, etc. do we need to do much more? absolutely, but literally any marginal climate improvement is important

It's so frustrating because what is even the point of limiting it. It prevents severe complications. That's a good thing. And with more "young and healthy" people vaccinated, the virus can't plow through the population as effectively.

I get "just block and move on" in a lot of cases, I really do. And that the best way to end a discourse is to stop participating in it. But when the discourse is open bigotry being widely, gleefully participated in, there is absolutely value in yelling back.
