Bigfoot is a 70s hippie who wants you to smoke grass and love one another.
I’d vote for Bigfoot.

Must be. He had no reaction to yellow.

That’s so weird.
I’ve always heard that cats are basically colourblind, but I used to have a cat that was terrified of the colour orange. He bit an orange extension cord as a baby, and would avoid orange after that. Not red, not yellow, only bright orange.
We had a bright orange blanket, and if you dropped him onto it, he’d spring away like it was a trampoline.

Young children don’t warn you when they learn how to open locks. Sometimes you find out when they’re rifling through your stuff or well down the road.

Cheers! I’ve never needed to know this. It will probably become relevant in future, now. So cheers for this!

Democracy is weak against fascism. That’s a lot of our current problem, and why democracies slip into fascism whilst moving towards socialism is harder.
There are ways to fix that, but they require an educated populace. And that’s why fascists work so hard to keep us misinformed.

It would be nice to get the communism whilst skipping the being shot step for a change.

When you stand still
That’s not really possible, though, right? It is at a macro level, but you’re never not moving in 3d space at small levels, right?

For hand sewing, pull your thread between your thumb and a block of bees’ wax a few times after threading it, and you won’t have to worry about knots nearly as much.

Ooh, just wait til it becomes ‘not publishing or speaking about something that will get you labelled a communist and publicly shot’.
That one is coming soon.

- Comment on How long would it take a black Hole to fully absorb a person from event horizon to center of the earth style? 1 week ago:
So there are two correct but very different answers to this question, then, right? One for an outside observer and another from the perspective of the black hole?
- Comment on How long would it take a black Hole to fully absorb a person from event horizon to center of the earth style? 1 week ago:
This assumes time remains constant, though, right? But isn’t time affected by the black hole?

I’d love to see this make an appearance in the Fallout LA series. It would be so appropriate in that time period, and especially so because of the nuclear metaphor. This really seems like something that would become popular in the Fallout universe.

This has always bothered me. I’m a C cup, so most fashion is made for me to show cleavage.
But I’ve done some fashion design (mostly historical fashion), and I’ve seriously wondered why larger bust sizes have such outsized undergarments. Like more than seems necessary.
- Comment on Heave-ho! 2 weeks ago:
Most fashion trends come back around every 20 years or so, but this one hasn’t for some reason:

That brim is almost perfect …
- Comment on Hostile architecture 2 weeks ago:
I could see this meaning something more – and even something inclusive – if the environment is part of the design; for a moment I considered the steep looking sand bank.
If that’s part of the art, then this makes much more sense. I’ve lived places where the landscape changes a lot throughout the year, though, so I sort of ignored the background and took the bench itself in isolation.
Maybe that’s where I fucked up.
- Comment on Hostile architecture 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t assume malice, but ignorance. And not malicious ignorance, either.
Given this is a public installation, though, I was giving my interpretation.
- Comment on Hostile architecture 2 weeks ago:
But what this art says to me, as a wheelchair user, is something completely different because this design is the opposite of inclusive. Is that what is meant?
This design says I should be excluded – taking it as art, this design communicates everyone having conversations and leaving me out, because that back bar will exclude me by design.
If I’m to socialise, I should be on one end or the other, but that middle part means I’ll be artificially excluded by the environment.
Is that what it’s meant to mean?
- Comment on Hostile architecture 2 weeks ago:
They couldn’t, though. Because of the space the back of the chair and the radius of the wheels requires, the person in the chair would be sitting at least a foot in front of anyone seated on the bench.
- Comment on Hostile architecture 2 weeks ago:
as well as practically.
X doubt.
This is worse than nothing, because (as a wheelchair user) there’s like 6 inches or so of clearance behind the chair. That back rail means you can’t back up to get yourself in line with your compatriots,so you’ll be in front of and misaligned with the people on either side, such that they’re literally talking behind your back.
If this design was in earnest, it’s godawful and just shows the designer had no idea what they were doing.
If it’s an art project, then I can appreciate it. If it was meant to be practical, it’s a major fail.

Proper etiquette requires some degree of suction, which is also kinda sexy ngl
- Comment on Water time 2 weeks ago:
Counterpoint: it’s super manly to just own it and not worry about how you look. Whether you do tiny laps like a cat or big ol’ slurps like a dog, having the confidence to just hydrate yourself and not care who’s watching is kinda sexy, ngl

Why the fuck would I get out of the way? It’s 2026, after all. A trolley running me over would be the good outcome.

Thee ‘born into wealth’ bar is so large, you’d need a microphone to see any other bars.
Ever seen the difference in wealth between millions and billions?
Put another way, Elon could spend a million dollars a day for a thousand years and still be a billionaire.
When people are starving and can’t get healthcare or basic needs, that’s just fucking disgusting.
