"It's Giving Me The Death Giggles"

He's basically confirmed brain dead.

They're keeping him on a ventilator to try and make it such that a replacement will not be on the ballot in November, and will be appointed instead (from what I know).

Mitch McConnell the man is dead.

Mitch McConnell, the political influence, is not.

Assaulter: *stops assaulting me to thoroughly read my birth certificate* oh my apologies! When I assaulted you for your gender nonconformity I believed you were a trans woman! I am very educated on trans identity and so I now know that is untrue. Now that I know that you have an f on your birth certificate I will no longer assault you now, because people viewed as cis women are never sexually assaulted for gender nonconformity.

✨Oh snail expert, I summon thee, what kind of moon snail would this be?✨

(Location: Cape Cod, bay side, near Orleans)

Snail spotted!

Diagnosis: Policininae sp. Common name: N/A Notes: This is either Euspira heros or Neverita duplicata. The two are hard to tell apart from above - if there's a callus over the umbilicus, it's N. duplicata, and E. heros if not.

1. Weird thing to add to a post about someone having pet parasites

because it's genuinely insane the things i've heard americans say 'america doesn't have' when it's just factually incorrect.

for some perspective: during my longest move i did by-car in the u.s., i drove ~3,000 miles. That's ~4,800 km. It took nearly 50 hours drive-times alone. Meaning, if I could have driven without stopping once, it would have taken nearly 50 hours. Of course I split that up over several days.

Driving that same distance here, If there's a ferry+road from Rabat (in Morocco) to Kyiv (Ukraine), I could take it and keep on going another several hours.

So you can understand how silly it is for someone from the u.s. to be asked to answer a question on behalf of the entirety of the u.s.—geographically, culturally, etc.

So now that we've said all that, I need you to know that I listened to a guy from Idaho tell an Irish person today, "yeah, we just don't really get snails much in America."
