I do captioning for a living, & a big part of my job is cleaning up false starts & filler words. That has always been the norm at every media outlet. Print media edits Trump so carefully that you would never know what he actually sounds like. Doing this to Biden is a 180 from decades of policy.

way back in the tumblr days, one of my cats was dying and needed an obscene amount of vet work, and people fundraised enough to give me another 7 years with her and I'll never be mean to the internet again

Walked around the block looking for the source of the smoke flowing into my windows (it's not here or it's a tenant with heinous weed)...

Found a lagomorph instead.

I hope one day we learn if the people who send Laura Loomer fake tips are just normal trolls or state-backed disinformation agents. They're all easily debunked within an hour so the fact that she still does this suggests she's simply a fucking idiot.

It's so frustrating. Promo and networking in a lot of ways feels like I'm completely starting over. Most sites were never very useful, even if you paid for promo *coughs* Facebook *coughs* but Twitter used to be effective for networking and promo. Here, I kind of feel guilty using hashtag feeds.

There is some kind of longhorn beetle absolutely VIBING in the anthers of my Easter lily cactus flower. I can't ID it because the pollen makes it look like a beetle-shaped Cheetoℒ️, but can you IMAGINE what it would be like to be this beetle?

I just got an email from my local greyhound rescue that Caliente, the dog track at Tijuana, is closing. If you're in southern California and thought about a retired racer this might be a great time to reach out to an adoption group. Retired track dogs make awesome pets.

To be clear, this bill is nonsense, and he is straight-up calling for the murder of every Democrat in Congress. It is already illegal, as a matter of federal law, for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. This doesn't change that. What it does is a national ID mandate for voter registration.
