  • Giant cat, the size of a grizzly bear, but somehow with the proportions of a chubby house cat. It’s primary prey is mega rich humans. Continuous exposure to greed in such humans lends their flesh an exquisite and deeply savory scent and flavor that the cat can smell from hundreds of km away. Like all cats they take pleasure in toying with their prey, refining their technique and cunning by repeatedly capturing billionaires, then letting them just barely escape, only to hunt and catch them again, until the thrill of the hunt or hunger overcomes them, or their toy succumbs to the chase. Friend to the destitute, the homeless, the impoverished, and all the proletariat. The cat is gentle and loving to all who respect it and want not for the fruits of others labor.

    Which is wild because he hung out with engineers all the time and his best friend was an engineer. I’m an engineer with audhd and no joke I’m pretty sure like 90% of the engineers I work with are some form of neurodivergent. I know for a fact for like half of them because they told me.


  • Thr USA killed way way way more than 10 million native americans. We will never know the true scale of the genecide because the majority of it was done through disease. Early settlers would deliberately trade goods contaminated with several european diseases that the natives had little or no resistance to, including small pox and several others I can’t remember off the top of my head. Explorers moving west described “virgin” country untouched by man, beautiful and bountiful, but they were wrong. What they saw was an environment shaped over thousands of years by humans for humans that once supported hundreds of millions of native americans, who were mostly dead by the time european explorers got there. The genecide everyone knows about was really just the end, picking off the stragglers. That was bad enough that it’s whitewashed in public schooling, but they don’t even teach the history of the biological warfare that did the vast majority of the work. In many ways the americas still bear the gaping wounds of european contact today. This place is built on a foundation genocide.






  • I know it usually comes from a place of compassion, but trying to change anyone who hasn’t explicitly requested help doing so pretty much always results in conflict, resentment, and estrangement if it continues too long, at least in my experience. I’ve been on both sides and it sucks for everyone. Still dealing with the fallout of a failed relationship that had this problem (them trying to change me) and I still feel so worthless and broken… I just want to be good enough today 😭


  • Those are usually hard corn, so it would probably taste pretty starchy once ground into cornmeal. Now that I think about it that would probably be a yummy cornbread, like a less sweet cornbread. They may be able to be popped to make popcorn, but in my experience the colorful corns make pretty bad popcorn. The taste is good but there’s a lot more hull relative to the starch compared to yellow or white popcorn, which makes them more tough and less satisfying to chew, at least to me.
