It says "dress" but I'm pretty sure technically it's a jacket and a petticoat.

Wilma is very much what I think of as a northern type of cat: more chunky in her appearance, with comparatively smaller ears, to preserve her body warmth better! 🐱

nosferatu? no. tuferatu. no es mi problema.

no mi circo no mis feratus

We've all gotten just a bit too comfortable being jerks to strangers on the internet I think

You said it better than I could. Of all the inane and ridiculous things I've seen in my notes because of this post, "I NEED to say fuck you to strangers or I will literally die" is certainly one of them

remember guys, being kind takes basically no effort when its done with real purpose. no one deserves to be treated badly, that includes YOU. so treat others the way you'd like to be treated. if you dont want to and wanna take your anger out on people/be needlessly mean, whatever i guess, its your life youre fucking up. but dont be complaining when no one likes you or wants to talk to you. please everyone go vent out your frustrations healthily :)

"Treat others the way you'd like to be treated" is probably one of the oldest maxims of human conduct in existence, it's universal. Don't think being a 21st century (probably American) human exempts you from its universality.

One time I bought a bag of chips and put a note on it that said "to be opened only after (task)" and it Did Not Work because I had to put it in the cupboard so as to not be too tempted, and then I couldn't see it so I kept forgetting it existed.

If you do worse at researching Czech names than Arthur Conan Doyle who literally used the name of one of the most famous Czech people of his time (A. Dvorak), you're really, really slacking off.

I keep remembering this and. Yeah. I stand by what I wrote in the last parenthesis: They're lucky it was us of all people. This is the sort of thing that inspires seething rage in postcolonialist contexts.

Rice planting. Nepal

Vibe checking. Nepal

GODDAMMIT TERRY

"Subd Geog" means that subject headings may be divided geographically (as in Art History -- European) but I cannot stop reading it as Subdivisions Georg. Subdivisions Georg, who haunts the Library of Congress and adds millions of subdivisions to catalog entries per year, is an outlier and should not be counted.

"The magic system is never fully explained" yeah that's how life works. Imagine having a story set in modern day America and the characters have several pages of exposition on combustion engines and telecommunication networks before we get to the plot

i think this is absolutely correct and good writing advice but also victor hugo would like to have a word with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1832

victor hugo would like to have many words with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1831

i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”

The first attested cat in Japan was given to a young 9th century emperor and his diary about it includes such gems as 'I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long.", "The color of the fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink.", "When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. You cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were circular Bi disk." and "I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.” Basically posting about how his void is the best little void and so good at getting really round

'When it cries it sounds like a lonely dragon above the clouds'
