Unmitigated Disaster

could i ask for pigeons? just any/all variety of pigeons you want to post

Hola! Hope it's ok to ask, recently I got told that there is no way to socialize kittens from a feral mom, that they will be irreversibly feral since birth. How true is that?

also I fucking HATE wearing a mask. just for the record. i hate it. i hate it so fucking much. if I go to a place masked I have roughly 1/5th of the time available to me before I crash* that I would if I was not wearing a mask.

I cant go to my local libary anymore because last year when I stopped by a librarian was reading a book I wrote under a pen name years ago. This book sold under 10k copies and I've literally only heard people talk about this book online *if* I went looking for it so I went up to them and tried to start a conversation like "oh hey I've heard of that book is it good?" Like hoping for some real feedback and she goes "yeah I love reading things by queer writers" and in a moment of terror I was like "oh but- hold on, I thought the author was some old hetero white guy?!" A thing I thought because I used my own dead grandpa's picture for the author pic because grandpa never had internet. I fake looked it up and was like "yeah if he was queer its not public?" And without looking up this absolute unit goes "oh the author bio is obviously fake. I'd bet my left leg the author is a west coast millennial non-binary queer who has never lived on the east coast." And then proceeded to rattle off a dozen linguistic flourishes that are specfic to the pacific northwest that are in the book and several that are nearly ubiquitous in the state where I said my pen name lives that are somehow completely absent from the book.

No Bones Jones, nobody does it like you.

The grinding process for sharpening anything to a cutting edge on a grinding wheel, or even using a whetstone or even sand paper, would cause a large amount of friction heat that would cause a poor insulator substance, like the flesh of a banana, to heat up and become mushy dramatically fast. On a grinding wheel this would mean sending flying bits of banana flinging across the walls

Ugh, Squarespace just notified me the annual cost to run the Repository website is going up by $72, to $348, when it renews in August.
