I’ve done next to nothing this year, and this month came to accept that 2026 will not in fact be “my year” at all! It might be even less my year than 2025 was. So yes, I completely understand. I don’t feel like hearing reflections on this year, or optimistic predictions about the next. I prefer to pretend that time is standing as still as I am.

Relaxed? They pace back and forth like they’re awaiting a jury verdict.

“For this movie to make any sense at all, one has to believe the United States, today, right now, is a fascist dictatorship,” wrote David Marcus at Fox News

Putting aside the obvious retort one would give to this sort of comment, works of fiction do tend to require acceptance of a fictional reality!

All squares are rectangles, but it is true that none of these rectangles are squares.

Avoiding character ambiguity is a very cool and normal thing to do.

This is precisely what I meant, and I’m glad it came across. 💙

I judge entire neighbourhoods on how amenable cats are. If a cat chilling on the footpath is pleased to meet me, then I’m calm. If a cat sitting 50 meters away from me responds to my friendly greeting chirp by backing under the nearest car with flat ears and a sunken tail, I assume the humans around it are garbage people and I need to get out. Cats are to the streets as frogs are to the rivers.

Huh… I guess I don’t have the most mainstream perspective on that.

Okay, there’s “friends”, and there’s “Friends™”. Let’s not get it twisted.

Oh no, swearing is totally cool. Prior to this, I commented somewhere about the wealth inequality engineered by “greedy, egomaniacal fucks”, so it’s definitely the fact that I expressed “hatred” towards these people in particular.

I wish I was one of your plants. Chilling on that little balcony in the sun.

I don’t think we’re capable of looking very far afield, to be fair. Space is pretty big. I read that somewhere.

Honestly. What are the chances that in the entire universe, there is no ecosystem that has led to the evolution of an organism indistinguishable from our Earth cats?

Rule 2 seems to negate most of the defining characteristics of the MAGA movement, no?

I gotchu.

I’ll have to check out that documentary. Wild that it was specifically for selling bacon. I thought the OGs of deceptive breakfast marketing would be the cereal people.

Preach. They stole our mornings from us and sold it back to us as a fake, made–up mealtime, and everyone played along. Everyone bought the lie.

“Hazel, you need to eat!”

Yeah? Right now? When I have no appetite, and a million better things to do? Sure, I’ll drop everything and slog my way through this meal for which I have only disdain and revulsion. 👍🏻

Switching from dollop scones to pizza slice scones was pretty much life changing for me.

*incredulous sputtering*
