#hamsters #comfy #kawaii #photography #my photography #hampter...... #fun fact on this day my friend and i decided to open my sunroof which i promptly left open for an entire week and didnt notice until it had #already been raining for 2 days straight. #now my car has recovered entirely from the water damage its like it never happened but that. THAT. was a torment that lasted so so long #everytime i drove to my uni's bi weekly mandated covid test (2020 thingz) i would have a wet spot unless i laid my #'emergency trapped in snow' quilt on the seat beforehand #btw i cured it via copious moisture sucking bags (not the powder ones those spilt twice on me and were a pain in the ass to get out and #didnt help) and driving to the nearest sketchy carwash to vacuum out the water daily for a few weeks #and then promptly moving to sunny florida where the sun dried the rest. pro tip: car got wet? just move to florida ez #i think of my sad wet pants walkig thru kroger everytime i listen to nickelbacks 'far away' which was playing when i first drove in it after

closing out the weekend with completely calm and rational feelings about my precious, beloved daughter Venus

Me: you know what sounds like a nice way to unwind before bed? Playing the cat-befriending-robots game, it's so sweet and relaxing. Yeah, there are sometimes swarms of scary bugs that try to eat me but so far there haven't been too many of them, I can deal with it

Stray: SEWER CHAPTER COMMENCE

Me, an hour later: how the fuck did this poor kitty wind up in a Dead Space level

#stray game #stray game critical #my post #I already wasn't fond of the zurks and the mandatory zurk chases #I really do not like seeing animals hurt #(yes I have the 'show cat death' setting turned off- that doesn't stop me from knowing that the cat died) #but I was willing to accept the zurks because having to run away from dangerous predators is a pretty common cat experience #Ever since I got the make-the-predators-ass-SPLODE ray gun though #it feels like the game switched genres on me #the change is so jarring I have to wonder if it wasn't an executive mandate or something #'the game has enemies therefore there must be a way for players to defeat those enemies' #the rest of the game is so committed to having the cat interact with the world in realistic cat-like ways #popping mutant bugs like balloons with a ray gun clashes HARD with that #I sincerely hope things return to normal-ish once I'm out of the sewers #otherwise I might not be able to finish this #what I wouldn't give for a mod or setting that makes me immortal #or better yet lets me skip the sewers altogether

i'm straight up not going to survive those other 9 months. the postal worker does not know it but he's going to be delivering my death right into my shaking little hands when he brings me that calendar. and i will have no choice but to open it.

Guess who’s sick AGAIN! Four times in four months. This time it’s some kind of stomach bug where I can’t stop puking and can’t keep anything down.

I think I’m going to email my primary care doctor at this point because I don’t think this is normal. I’ve never been sick this many times in a row.

Also putting this last bit under a cut bc it’s absolutely Disgusting but also kind of morbidly fascinating to me (TW: VOMIT):

Every time I threw up last night, I blew my nose after - and chunks of undigested food came out?? Of my NOSE?? I don’t throw up like ever so maybe that’s normal, but that’s never happened to me before. It was horrifying!!

#vomit mention #dude I feel like ASS #how many times can one person get sick in the span of a few months #My work has been pretty good about it but that’s because it almost definitely happened AT work every time #The hospital higher-ups have refused to re-implement the plexiglass desk barriers or mask mandates for patients #so people come in coughing and hacking and spitting all over me. They don’t give a single fuck.

there’s an absolutely vile track on the required work playlist with weird ass samples including what sounds identical to mudcrabs dying in skyrim and also a literal audio rip of a screaming monkey doll my sister had as a child that drove me insane

#if there was a song tailored to be my hell #i hate having a boss mandated playlist #their taste is bad lol #it’s simply not normal ass music

[qazastra]

actually can i complain about my boss again.

apparently he only wants to have one experienced person on a training shift from now on. one person to train the entirely new worker how to work at our cafe. because "labor costs are through the roof." are you

are you fucking with meeee FUCK WITH MEEEEEE YOU PAY US MINIMUM WAGE YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS

hes just simply not going to have people who know what to do then!!!!! bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#i cannot properly train anyone BY MYSELF!!!! what about when someone orders a small oat milk cappucino with caramel sauce and my coworker #doesn't know where to fucking find it on the cash register and doesn't know how to work the espresso machine besides so im basically #working the shift by myself with the added annoyance of having someone i need to explain everything to before i do it as well.... #AND IF HE DOESN'T GIVE US OUR LEGALLY MANDATED MEAL BREAKS THIS WEEKEND #idc how stupid i'll look im taking His Ass to The Law #can you believe he had a staff meeting yesterday and said something about #'i follow the law always because you know why? its cheaper than breaking it' with a straight face #when he knows damn well he's BEEN breaking it with no consequences. not just there either #but hes also got a SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD (bless him hes really sweet) serving alcohol. FUCK WITH ME IM SO SERIOUS!! #i feel bad for the two new kids they think hes scary and he can be but ohhdjaksgfjvw there were so many times i was holding in laughter #during the 'staff meeting' (it was a 40 minute lecture thats all) and so grateful that i still wear a mask my god #he sounds like hot air when he really gets going its very laughable hes so serious about everything. but i know what its really like t #to work here. so hes not fooling me. nope. #thanks for reading this rant i hope it was interesting #m

I also hate is-the-owlvid-cute, and that’s sucks more bc I USED to like them. but they just never stay in their fucking lane when they don’t have even half a clue what they’re saying. their favorite pastime seems to be spending time on the internet dogpiling random ppl they personally don’t like with maybe SOME bird education that can range from accurate to downright harmful misinformation. extremely weird to be like “yeah that’s rabbit breeders, can’t stand those weird unhinged fuckers” when you directly benefit from them if you care for raptors?? and talk about the positives of human animal death?? like. just say you’re a yes man for scout no matter what and let it go

#they’re almost certainly not someone who lives anywhere rural from the way they talk #and they just fucking LOVE humoring discourse and it’s weird!! and annoying!! #and it’s sucks bc there’s a lot of stuff I DO agree w them on but bc they choose to be someone that can NEVER be wrong. #I just can’t listen to them without rolling my eyes anymore #I think every popular animal blogger should have mandated time away from the computer where they’re not allowed to even scroll online #and just engage with people OUTSIDE of the internet #talk to a rabbit breeder IRL about this shit. stop strawmanning constantly #I think they should also routinely lose followers en masse so they stop getting a power trip over the amount of constant ass kissing #bc people really reinforce it by being the biggest most uncritical suck ups of all time on here

serious question

is it possible for someone fleeing the us to b considered a refugee at this point? like can i seek asylum if it gets me out of this hellhole sooner?

#is it bad enough yet? #roe v wade #they literally mentioned overturning gay marriage #and have also already removed the mandated reading of miranda rights #everything is going to shit #im thinking spain #i can learn spanish #or nz if they'll take a disabled refugee #seriously what the fuck is this shit #i've just had to sit back helplessly and watch this happen bc i wasn't old enough to vote in the 2016 or 2020 elections #i gotta register to vote soon but also like #im gonna save as much money as i can and get my ass out of here #im so done i give up #im gay and i have a uterus this is too much for me #maybe if i was a straight man i could come back after getting a hysterectomy #but nope! nope! #i would literally get stung by a scorpion every day for the next year if it meant i could get out of here sooner #and i fucking HATE scorpions #literally have a phobia of scorpions but at least that's somewhat irrational #help

re my last post, it’s due time that healthcare workers unionized…

#there’s so many fucked up things in healthcare #but just an example from this week… #covid has started to rise again in my state #and already #two people in the clinic have covid that we know of #testing is not being mandated #neither are masks for pts or workers #so we’re not even being protected at the most minimal level #but on top of that #if we get sick #it’s mandatory that we isolate for at least 5 days #and those 5 days aren’t paid for unless you have pto THAT YOU HAVE TO EARN BY WORKING #and if you run out #OH FUCKING WEL YOU DONT GET PAID THAT WEEK #FOR THE TIME THAT YOUR JOB TOLD YOU TO TAKE OFF #LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK???? #and this is me complaining as a childless single person who gets to live at home with their parents #can you imagine people who have whole ass families to support #i just- #this is so fucked up #i cannot #we are not valued at all for the work that we do #and you wonder why healthcare workers are depressed and burnt out

It's amazing to me just how good the Mormon church has been at hiding just how bad they really are from public view. Even the shit that gets spread around is the relatively harmless bullshit. They had a crazy prophet with magic glasses. They believe in god-mandated polygyny. They think everyone who is good enough will get their very own planet after the world ends. They wear magic underpants. Mormon men are all paladins.

Here's one of the ones you hear less often:

See, like many other Christian sects, the Mormons really do believe that the existence of Christ obviates the existence of Judaism. Judaism was just a placeholder until the "real" church could be established by Jesus.

And the Mormons in particular believe, dead ass, that the entire inheritance of Israel has been given to them, because the Jews failed to recognize the Messiah when he was on Earth. They really do. They have this whole system where people are given a "divine revelation" about which of the Tribes of Israel they're a member of (don't worry, they decided that most people belong to the two tribes that are willing to "adopt" people. Only the most specialest boys and girls are members of the original ten).

Let's sum up so far. The Mormons believe that they are the people of Israel, chosen and protected by God. If Jews want to get back in on that party, they can always repent and convert to Mormonism, the one true church to which God gave all the rights and blessings that were originally bestowed on Abraham's house.

But it doesn't stop there!

The Mormons also believe, in all seriousness, that all Indigenous peoples of the Americas are descended from a small group of Jewish people who left just before the fall of Jerusalem (~600 bc iirc). Their entire weird-ass extra bible is a chronicle of those people's history in [unspecific part of America]. At the very beginning of the book, two brothers in the original family turn away from god, so they and all their descendants are cursed with dark skin, so that the good Nephites (who remain "white and delightsome") will always be able to tell themselves apart from the wicked Lamanites.

So, you've got supposedly Jewish people running around the Americas. And the "good" ones are white, and the "bad" ones are brown. Then, ofc, Jesus comes to visit them (I guess supposedly that's part of what he was doing during his dirt nap? Or possibly after he left again, it's not clear), and they all convert to Christianity, which they think is clearly the natural evolution of Judaism. Well, at the end of the book, all of them become wicked, in a kind of weird pseudo-apocalyptic series of events. They are all cursed with dark skin, until such time as they repent for their ancestors sins and return to the gospel.

But of course, Mormons being the good and kind people they are, they want everyone to receive the blessings of God and be brought into the houses of Israel etc etc. And it isn't the fault of those poor little Indigenous children that their distant ancestors turned away from God and became wicked.

So what's the natural answer? Well, Mormons are real big on missionary work, as we all know. But apparently that wasn't enough in this case.

Because the Mormon church has been one of the big players in abducting as many Indigenous children as possible, in order to indoctrinate them into being good Mormons, so that they can turn white again and be blessed. My mother remembers hearing talks about this in the 70s and 80s. The church literally had a "Lamanite Adoption Program," where families in the church were encouraged to get as many Indigenous children as possible away from their families and not let them be reunited until they were fully assimilated and ready to go back and proselytize about how wonderful the church is.

The church leadership literally talked about how wonderful it was to see these children becoming whiter. Actually whiter. Like, saying that when they finally saw them with their families again, it was beautiful how much paler they were.

I'm pretty sure this program has been officially ended, but it doesn't take a genius to speculate about who might be behind the curtains on the movement in the western US to gut the ICWA....

So yeah. Next time someone tries to tell you that the Mormons are just harmless weirdos, please remember that they're an antisemitic cult that advocates for the forced assimilation of Indigenous children to help them escape the cursed brown skin of their ancestors.

& all the handwringing about hurting yourself and coping mechanisms and blah blah at the end of the day does come back to the basic conviction that you can in fact determine what's in someone else's best interest and, having done so, are not only justified in forcing them to live that way, but in fact obligated to do so. well unfortunately 1 you might be wrong and 2 i don't want to live in a world where my every action is mandated to produce Wellness. sometimes something is harmful to a person in one way and helpful in another. sometimes it's the less harmful of available shitty options. sometimes it's fun. the logic that attempts to eliminate these actions through the use of psychiatric institutions & force is the same logic that attempts to eliminate abortions and hrt and casual sex by declaring them unhealthy and self harming. you can't half ass this 👍
