How many friends have you made cold approaching people on the street or in shops like that?

Do people often react by treating you with intense suspicion? Ngl, overly chatty/friendly strangers freak me the fuck out.

You are right, your parents are out of touch. Stick to your guns on this.

Chilling in bed (alone) reading a book/the internet.

That’s nearly all my favourite things in one activity, I’m lucky I’m such a low maintenance person.

I can’t be so rare in not wanting to talk to people about my fixations, surely?

It’s far more enjoyable to go off on my own and do the thing, than it ever has been attempting to explain it to people.

She-Ra is my main comfort cartoon these days, but previous shows on rotation (that don’t often get mentioned on threads like these) have included:

Axe Cop

Bee And PuppyCat

Dogs In Space

Scavengers Reign

Kipo And The Age Of Wonderbeasts

Major Lazer

Crying in Ehlers-Danlos. I was too bendy for my own good, and now I’m none bendy, left pain. All that is left is pain.

If you want to try something similar but imo better, pickles dipped in hummus are beyond delicious.

Add some rice noodles, green onion and chilli oil, and this is basically what I ate for dinner yesterday.

Batter and breadcrumb your slice of congealed noodles, and pan fry it.

(If you want to make yet another food culture twitch, you can call this a kugel.)

Animatrix. It’s been in my regular listening rotation for probably over 15 years now.

It’s a book. Then again I don’t watch much tv, so who knows, it may have been adapted by now. The book is worth reading though, it’s very good.

Ok. Your recommendation to read the FAQ about the abused animal and your posting of that extract from it, seemed to imply otherwise.

No licensed vet would ever say a morbidly obese cat is ‘fine’.

The owners fed the cat into morbid obesity, that was the diet it was on.

That cat was too fat to ‘work out’. At that size, it would have been in pain from the strain on its joints after walking to its food bowl.

The cat died prematurely due to this abuse, I don’t even have to check the age it died to be able to tell you this.

Stop defending animal abusers.

I’m not interested in seeing excuses for abuse. They made a blog about their abused cat and people follow it and like the images because this abuse is considered ‘cute’. It’s sickening.

It’s horrifying how animal abuse is seen as cute and funny by so many people, and considered an acceptable topic for a tumblr blog.

In an ideal world, the owner of that cat should be banned from owning animals and prosecuted.

Copaganda

Think of mushy peas like British hummus. It’s literally just mashed up beans and you can dress it up however you like.

I like mushy peas on toast with sliced tomato, salt and pepper and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.

Mushy peas are boiled marrowfat peas, which have a completely different taste and texture to mashed garden peas.

They’re delicious though, and very filling, especially served with chips or other carbs.

I keep trying to talk myself into starting one, but I don’t know if I have the patience for modding.

Ugh, same. I want to see all the pretty nerds showing off their pretty skills here but most days my brain won’t even type words coherently, I would be an utterly useless mod.

We need one of those hyper energetic t-girls full of all that post puberty energy and optimism, to swoop in and be queen mod of all the pretties of the fediverse for us. I really miss having all that energy, haha.

Are there any good nail art or makeup communities on the fediverse yet? I love seeing how creative people get with these art forms.

Those iridescent shadows! The teal/purple shift is so pretty!
