1. Sorry this is happening

2. OK, now some tough love: Don't even fucking think about escaping to Canada. We have the exact same people here and they will now be emboldened., and it is quite likely the next Prime Minister will be of the same mold.

Immigrating legally is incredibly long and expensive and you basically need a skilled job already lined up. Don't count on getting asylum or being allowed to stay if you overstay a visa. If you don't have housing lined up, you will likely end up on the street. Remember, if you die in Canada you die in real life!

Whatever you want to do will be immensely easier in a place where you are already a citizen. Save your money and stay in the US.

cat people: what do we think happens if we don't say "big stretch" after the cat does a big stretch? it must be something horrible, right?

#CatsOfMastodon

Off to a very promising start for #Monsterdon.

✅ Day for night

Jonathan Harker looks like he's at least 35

edit: the actor was 33 when this was filmed lol

Jack Palance has a nice Dracula voice, so there's that.

#Monsterdon

Yet again, another movie that patches the plot hole where Dracula just *happens* to find and vampirize Lucy and Mina. I wonder if this movie will also have Renfield somehow connected to Dracula too? #Monsterdon

Also, this castle is NOT decrepit enough. There's no big fake spiderwebs anywhere. No guttering candlelight. Christopher Lee wouldn't put up with this shit

#Monsterdon

It's the 70s and all blood is #FF0000 red

(I'll keep reusing this joke till the blood is normal blood colour)

Happy 17th None Pizza With Left Beef Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/None_Pizza_with_Left_Beef 🍕

i just want to mention that when i was a kid sometimes i would just read the dictionary, did anyone else do that

Like I'll grant that voting for the president probably doesn't really do a whole lot. (IDK. I am Canadian and we have a parliamentary system.)

But voting for the "downticket" or lower-tier offices and helping competent, principled people get their foot in the door has the potential to change things decades down the line. You vote to shape the establishment that activists 50 years from now will be dealing with.

I figure a lot of people just want to do something that changes things right away, for them personally. And in that case they may as well stay home. But if you give a shit about future generations and if you are okay with your actions not having a large or immediate payoff, voting and GOTV efforts are eminently worthwhile.

Seeing a lot of new #FediBlock suggestions I already recognize from existing "worst-of-the-worst" and consensus-based blocklists (blocklists made up of servers blocked by x% of a small list of trusted servers). Quick reminder that I maintain a list of such blocklists here: https://codeberg.org/nev/awesome-fediadmin/#basic-blocklists

If you know of more blocklists/tools to add, reply here, make a pull request, whatevs.

"Something very, very strange in these old woods."

THAT'S MY SHIT

my plans for the s01 finale: a coffee porter/stout, or maybe a kriek, to go with tibetan takeout, probably momos from loga's or something. (i live in little tibet basically, so there is a wealth of restaurants to choose from.)

special agent dale cooper is such a weird little freak i love him
