I’ve recently realized the very real and very understandable boundary that my cat had where he does not wish to be petted (and stimulated, and surprised) while sleeping, even if purring on my lap.

When I started respecting this boundary he started telling me when he wants pet time (by screaming at my face and occasionally, doing a social roll on my lap, which is insanely cute.)

I didn’t either! Skipped right past it for some reason!

We’ve gone blind!

I adore S&M and I don’t know how I didn’t realize that was S&M until now! I missed out on so many jokes!

Why are you a frog?

I would like to add to this conversation, “I’ve talked it over with myself and I’ve decided I’m going on strike,” is an extremely powerful thing to say.

…I didn’t promise my addition would be valuable.

Yes. Yes he did.

That is absolutely a kiwi bird.

It’s an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

Shit like this is why Lemmy feels like the old internet.

My doctors office actually notified me that I’m on 2 medications that make me extra heat sensitive.

I appreciate it. This is a good reminder to folks to check.

I can’t really comment on the European experience though, so I said American, which I am, and which I am qualified to talk about.

Oh, also I have an exceedingly rare hereditary disease, so it feels like a certainty I’ll need it for myself someday.

I believe every American knows someone whose life is made substantially worse because of a lack of access to healthcare.

I want to set this up and learn to use it. I want to keep it and maintain it and wait. Because I’ll inevitably hear from someone that they can’t afford their life-saving medication.

The New Text Document makes this.

I absolutely agree with you. But I did feel like it let me have my cake and eat it, too. It had a Thing-like quality- if what makes someone human is so ephemeral, that anyone could be a replicant… it added a quality for me.

I felt like we were meant to sympathize with Deckard. I certainly did, and I was a little girl when I first saw it! And when those same questions came turning back toward the person who was standing in for the audience, it really drove that point home, that in this world, even I could be a replicant. And at what point, then, did I have the right to arbitrate what is and is not life?

I love it both ways. But I am both extremely indecisive and bisexual so I guess this is no surprise.

Rosa is a bi icon.

Should be butterfly pasta! We’ve been robbed!

He looks like a neighbor of Mister Rogers.

I adopted my cat because he was born angry. He wasn’t even fully weaned before he began attacking his own mother.

He loves his people as long as they don’t dare smell like a different cat. He just hates cats!

Women are forced into a spreadsheet.

What? Oh no!
