happy 20 year anniversary of Neil banging out the tunes!

though every rat is special, it's a wonderful and unusual thing for their accomplishments to be remembered and cherished by so many people so many years later. we're all so fortunate to know about the rat who banged out the tunes!

thank you to all the people who sent me reference photos of their beloved rats for this piece!!! credits under the cut!

what does a bunch of sentient space hardware have to do with lunchables and football? fair question.

today is april 7th, 2026. it is also the day that humans stop dying, being born, and aging in jon bois' 2017 web novel, what football will look like in the future. here's some lovely art to celebrate our new-won collective immortality in that alternate universe <3

if you use "southerner" as shorthand for "idiot" or "bigot", if you say that people from the south "deserve" the terrible policies they're going through, if you broadly categorize all southerners as being The Villain, if you describe country music as being just ignorant racist whining, if you talk about places like Tennessee solely in terms of being the home of inbred, ignorant, backwards, hateful people -- remember you're not just talking about the guy you're envisioning, you're also talking about HER!!!!

”i’m pro-choice!”

”me too!”

”yes! abortion is LIFE SAVING health care! it should be a legally protected right for all women!”

”i agree, and it should be a right for everyone who can get pregnant, everyone has a right to bodily autonomy! and pregnant trans people should also have a legally protected right to have an abortion.”

”bean soup theory ugh STOP CENTERING MEN IN FEMINISM”

you are not actually pro-choice if this is your viewpoint. you don’t want abortion to be a legally protected right. you don’t give a shit about harm reduction, the wellbeing of children and their parents, saving lives OR people being able to have final say in what happens to their bodies. you only want that to be available to YOU. if trans people are not included in your politics, you’re not fucking pro-choice. and you’re not a feminist.

ignoring the perspectives of trans individuals may result in a law being passed that is worded as ”every woman has the right to abortion”. good for you, a cis woman!

very, very bad for a trans man who changed his legal gender to male a while ago, whose endocrinologist may have neglected to tell him that testosterone does not prevent pregnancy even if he no longer has a period, or he just had some insanely bad luck. and now he’s pregnant, and he does not want to be. he tries to book an appointment for an abortion but he is denied. because his legal gender is male, so he is not legally entitled to one and they latch on to that definition of the law for dear life. because hey, motherhood might get him to straighten out and get back in line!

you might think i’m reaching, but i read about a case in Sweden, a man was initially not convicted of raping a child because that little girl used the wrong word for her genitals. the court ruled that according to her testimony there was no penetration involved, and therefore it was not considered rape. because the word she, a CHILD, had used to describe her vagina wasn’t clinically correct.

mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

I know what I am doing is wrong

I know there is an activity that looks similar that is not wrong
