The curse of being a multi-cat household 🙄 Also, apologies for the picture, but I needed to share this lol #caturday #CatsOfMastodon #FunnyCats #CrazyCatPerson

Our rhododendrons are blooming, but they’re not doing well. A combination of poor soil, a harsh winter, and squirrel hunger. Maybe we’ll try to refresh them, maybe we’ll replace them. They don’t get much direct sunlight because our large oak trees shade them.

If I created a site called Today in Handsome Dudes, today’s post would feature Will Reeve, Christopher Reeve’s son and correspondent for ABC News and GMA3 regular. Curiously Will doesn’t have a Wikipedia page (privacy concerns?) and there’s not much internet bio that I could find on him, but you see him all over ABC.

This isn’t original but: Once your hear it, you’ll never hear the song the same way again: “Right about now, the Easter Bunny. Check it out now, the Easter Bunny…” https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=wD6jCMn5nq0&si=X0LGxdhFlQYtz-fX #90s

Half Man (HBO) is a tough watch. Written by and starring Richard Gadd, who also wrote and starred in Baby Reindeer. It’s almost unbearably suspenseful and tense, thanks to Gadd’s explosive character. You never know where the explosions will land, and the plot twists are neck-wrenching. It’s tough, but I keep watching.

@angiebaby I’d love to see that, too.

2/3 I’ll be adding people slowly. If you’re tired of my shit (and frankly, who isn’t?), now’s a good time to unfollow me. My new display name is Squalid Splendor. It could easily be Splendid Squalor. You can call me almost anything.
-
3/3 Squalid Splendor will feature less politics than this site. To be sure, I still loathe Trump and all his filthy enablers, including anyone who’s ever voted for him or supported him. My hatred for these evil people is white hot. But I also have serious anger “issues”, and my rage will overwhelm me if I’m not vigilant.
-
If you want to follow me, I’ve moved to @NewMike I won’t be posting here any more. The new instance will feature less of me raging about politics and more of me oversharing about myself. And gay stuff. Today in Handsome Dudes will be a regular feature there, along with mostly Safe For Work gay stuff (if it’s NSFW I’ll post a CW). The splash page looks like this:

Beneath this tattered tarpaulin, life and death are equal, separated by a mere fraction of a second. The whistle of bullets piercing the air around you is not just a sound; it is a constant reminder that survival here is a matter of chance, that the difference between staying and leaving is a matter of centimeters. Your heart does not survive. It remains suspended in a state of acute fear and anticipation, counting your breaths and weighing every whisper of air that passes over the tent. You d...

Lana and Bana were martyred this morning when their home was bombed, killing them instantly. What was their crime to be torn to pieces? For three years, the whole world has witnessed our murder with the most horrific weapons. Where is humanity and compassion? Where is true empathy? We are just news and images, numbers, not human beings. We are tired of everything, of the stench of death, everywhere, every moment. 😢🇵🇸💔 #Gaza #Humanity #SaveChildren #StopGenocide #freepalestine #freeGaza #fyp #...

A little kindness in a heavy world. We steal simple moments from the difficult times to make our children happy. I am here for them. I need your support to provide food and basic necessities for my children. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference.🍉🇵🇸🙏 https://chuffed.org/project/154249-israas-hope-a-familys-fight-to-rebuild-after-war #caturday #CatsOfMastodon #cats #Cat #feline #kittens #catsoffediverse #Gaza #palestine #genocide #freepalestine #mutualaid #MutualAidRequest #Mutu...

The child, Sarah Mousa, was killed after succumbing to a gunshot wound to the head fired by the Israeli occupation forces last year. She had been undergoing medical treatment in Jordan following her injury, but she did not survive; that bullet was enough to end her life. 🥹🇵🇸💔 #Gaza #Humanity #SaveChildren #StopGenocide #freepalestine ##freeGaza #genocide

This is mera. A child from Gaza who learned far too early that survival doesn't mean safety. She flashes a victory sign with the innate sparkle of a child, but behind that small gesture lies a story no child should ever have to bear. Eight months outside of time have taught her things childhood isn't meant to know: fear, displacement, waiting, and the strange silence that follows terror. And yet, she smiles. Not because the wound has healed, but because children, even after the u...

If you want to go out in Gaza, you have to think a million times. Will you come back safe and sound, or will something happen to you? Will you be targeted? Will something happen to you? I swear to God, this isn't exaggeration or hyperbole; this is the reality inside each one of us. For example, this bus in the picture today was carrying children and women, and a car next to them was targeted. Fifteen people inside the bus were injured, some seriously and some moderately, not to mention t...

We Gazans have endured every tragedy imaginable throughout history: injustice and misery beyond human endurance. We sleep on the precipice of death every night, as some fall from it, while others await their turn. Death in the city has taken on countless forms and comes in many different ways. If you survive a bombing that kills someone next to you, you won't survive a car bombing. If you survive a car bombing, you won't survive a bombing of a tent next to yours. If you survive a...

Israel is the most despicable terrorist organization in history; even children are not safe from it. A precision drone and a missile guided by the latest technology target a child as he tries to rescue a martyr! The criminal Netanyahu criticizes an Israeli film exposing his army's crimes in Gaza, while the reality is being presented to the world in sound and image, needing neither films nor narratives. The image documents the moment the child, Muhammad al-Zinati, was targeted by a sec...

Their homes are standing graves… and their tents are shrouds. These are the remains of their homes, and these are the tents they were forced to live in; not shelters that preserve human dignity, but hanging graves and temporary coffins awaiting collapse. They offer no protection from the summer heat, nor ward off the winter cold, nor withstand rain or wind. When the sky thunders, it trembles above the heads of our children, and when shelling rumbles nearby, it rains down upon them. Living in th...

In Gaza, we live under a roof at risk of collapse—not because we chose it, but because the war destroyed our homes and forced this shelter upon us. Do not be surprised, then, if tomorrow you find yourselves pulling our mangled remains from the rubble of the building where we sought refuge. 👇👇👇 This is the roof under which we shelter our lives; for in Gaza, death is merely being postponed by every possible means. 💔 https://chuffed.org/project/154249-israas-hope-a-familys-fight-to-rebuild-after-w...

As the school year begins in Gaza: For the third consecutive year, the essentials for education are lacking, and schools are teeming with displaced people left homeless.🥹💔 #Gaza #gazastrip #spportfollow #freepalestine #save_gaza_children #SupportGaza #Humanity #StopGenocide

In Gaza, transportation costs are exorbitant. Due to their dire circumstances, people have resorted to a means of transport called "al-Aqlah," a cart pulled by a vehicle. People use it because it's cheaper than other forms of transport. However, the high prices have forced people to search for any possible means of transportation. Al-Aqlahs are often overcrowded, sometimes carrying more than 25 passengers on a single trip. It's one of the worst and most unsafe f...

The war never ended, so how could it begin again? They deceived the world with a lie they called a “ceasefire.” But the bloodshed never stopped, the artillery never fell silent, the missiles never ceased, and the roar of warplanes has not gone quiet for a single moment. The entire world stands by as a helpless spectator, watching in silence, while my family and the people of Gaza alone continue to pay the price—every day, every hour, and every minute they remain on this land. What kind of cea...

Anyone know a good path for my niece (just starting middle school this year) in SW Michigan to get on puberty blockers? All the clinics near her family have dropped that as an option. Is there a DIY route?

80,000 years as the minimum for a VIABLE mission. That word "viable" is doing a lot of work, and unless there is some method for faster-than-light data transmission, be prepared to wait half a century to receive any signal from that system.
