Cuddly Panda of Doom

i have been constantly in tears over this newly hatched duck i found on instagram last night

This is like the greatest animal ive ever seen

Stray cats 🐈

sick of “scottish independence” this and “irish reunification” that

theres 3 of us and 1 of england

i say we just kick the english out the uk

Ireland, Scotland, and Wales kick England out and join the UK as the United Celtic Nations.

We can do this folks we can even steal some of france

the bretons would probably be down tbh

Solid chance that all of France will vote in favour if you promise us it’ll piss off England.

It's 2023 and this joke is still somehow even funnier than ever.

when doctors ask if i have any history of cancer in my family and i have to say that yes my grandmother had 2 types of gastrointestinal cancer and they're like oh wow okay so we'll keep an eye out for that but i'm like no it was probably just all the nuclear radiation and they're like ok hm ok what the fuck do you mean and it's very weird seeing the look on american doctors' faces when you have to explain to them that believe it or not atomic bombs were dropped on this earth 2 generations ago and it did have consequences

That look.

Gift from a faithful friends

A thing I love to do is telling prepper dudes that one of my disaster readiness skills is making stuffed animals. They never get it. Like, my dude, when things get very bad and we're all sharing overcrowded shelters, you're gonna want the power to comfort children. Trust me.

You know what, I got a whole bunch of fabric / old clothes at home and no idea what to do with it. I might just learn how to do this too

Then you might be interested in a database with hundreds of free plushie sewing patterns of just about any animal, as well as dinosaurs, pokemon, etc: https://craftresource.fandom.com/wiki/Plushie_Sewing_Patterns

& If that's a little overwhelming, here's some easy beginners plushies: - Manta Ray https://cholyknight.com/2021/05/14/manta-ray-plush/ - Whale https://craftresource.fandom.com/wiki/Whale_Plushie_Sewing_Pattern_(Lacey) - Simple dino: https://welivedhappilyeverafter.com/diy-long-neck-dino/

and a little more chalenging but my personal favorite: - totally not that one shark from a Swedish furniture chain store that everyone loves: https://freesewing.org/docs/designs/hi

"A cishet person must have made this, no queer person would ever portray queerness in this way."

"This artist must be white."

"No SA victim would ever handle the subject in this way."

"No woman would ever write women like this."

"This creator is obviously neurotypical. Everyone with autism/ADHD/depression understands-"

Nope.

People who make these blanket statements are very frequently proven wrong when the creator comes out as a member of that group. And even when they aren't proven wrong, even in cases where the creator isn't from the group in question, actual members of the group who don't fit whatever arbitrary criteria are being expressed will see these statements and feel excluded and erased.

Not everyone in your group is going to share your experiences. No single individual gets to personally decide what does or doesn't count as a "valid" expression of trauma or being part of a particular group, and creators are also not obligated to out themselves in order to "prove" their validity.

If something doesn't resonate with you, all that means is that it doesn't resonate with you. You don't have to like it. But you don't get to decide what it means to someone else.

I cannot get this poem out of my head. It haunts me. Joyously, it haunts me.
