Chat, is it considered “abusive roommate behavior” to release a raccoon into the living space after you have asked your roommate for months to please clean up their messes (they do not pay any of the mortgage)
For context, when I used to live alone I would do something called “Princess Time” where I would do an initial sweep (to remove any significant hazards) and then I would release a raccoon into the living area and clean. This helped because I would 1) feel like a princess and 2) the raccoon would bring attention to things my ADHD brain had decided to ignore and I’d quickly clean that stuff up.
So like, if I’m expected to clean the house now, I will be doing it in the way that is most effective for me. And anything that has not been cleaned up after months of having sit-down talks and sending reminders and being promised things will change, might be deemed “trash” by the trash panda and thrown away.
We haven’t done since we moved into the house, because I didn’t want to cause my roommate or their cats destress or have their things destroyed by a raccoon
I am a raccoon biologist and one of the few people in the state allowed to take in captive bred raccoons that had been possessed illegally. The raccoon in the photos is Moonshine, but she is currently at the animal sanctuary where I work as I had been quarantining multiple new intakes from an abuse case. I still have two males (Rum Tum Tugger and Electra) left in my home enclosure as we are getting them neutered and then hopefully sending them to an AZA accredited zoo.
I wanna make things very clear that underneath all the whimsy, I am a trained professional.
Those vibes are likely because I’m the original creator of Dashcon and my personality has not changed since 2012 lmao
trans girls are always so good at everything hey what do those red dots on that plane mean

People with most mainstream tastes imaginable should not open their mouth on how anti piracy they are btw. Yea no shit you can depend on legal sources to watch Marvel and listen to tswift and Maroon 5. Thank you so much for signing the petition to close that platform that was the only one i could download this 2008 romanian dungeon synth ep from
Cheryl Dunye’s directorial debut, The Watermelon Woman, was out of print between 2000 and 2018. Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace was only available to watch on a pirate channel on YouTube until last year. There is still no way to watch the X-Files spinoff, The Lone Gunmen except to own a dvd box set that has been out of print since 2005. Or to pirate it. It’s on YouTube.
Piracy is incredibly important to keep media that’s weird, or out there or just embarrassing to someone in power, alive. We need piracy and we need to stop being snitches when someone pirates stuff.
i think what the “trans men don’t have male privilege” crowd don’t understand is that they absolutely do it’s just as conditional as any other minority and often falls into the infinite category of “privilege that you never actually notice or know about”
like if someone’s picking through resumes and picks yours because it says Steve Smith instead of the one that says Sarah Sanders that’s male privilege! and yeah if you show up and they clock you as trans you lose it in that instance, the same way if you show up and they realize you’re gay or they see that you’re black those other layers of bigotry (misogyny, transphobia, racism, homophobia, etc.) will overrule the male privilege of the situation, but that does not change that you benefitted from male privilege, even if only briefly and without you ever knowing
privilege isn’t people openly saying “i’m hiring you because you are a man” it’s people even subconsciously hiring you over a woman because they heard her high heels as she entered the blind audition
i know it sucks to benefit from privilege you do not want but you can’t just “actually i’m magically immune” your way out of it having happened
the fact is there is no internal or secret identity that magically excludes you from privilege because large swathes of privilege are not based on your material reality but rather on how the other person in the situation perceives you in that moment
it doesn’t matter what you were born as when the client at your workplace refuses to listen to your coworker Alice and only pays attention to what you say because you have a beard and are named Kevin
One thing I find really interesting/lowkey hilarious about mcr’s time at the paramour is that they’re really open about what a difficult time it was, how they all had personal issues and there were struggles with mental illness and perfectionism and addiction, tons of real tangible factors making things dark and difficult. But I’ve never once heard them deny the place was haunted. If anything they’ll say all that and then be like “and the GHOSTS sure didn’t help”
This mild Wikipedia sentence is like the understatement of all time
Here are some crazy grasshopper mouse facts for those who are not familiar with the most badass mouse species on the planet
- They are primarily carnivorous, and their diet is made up of not only bugs but also snakes, lizards and other mice.
- They hunt like true predators, slowly stalking and creeping up on their prey before ambushing them. They will sometimes let out a screech as they attack.
- Like wolves, they howl to establish territory and have a specially developed throat to produce louder vocalizations. They will stand up on their hind legs and throw their head back to howl- a sound that can be heard from 100 meters away!
- Grasshopper mouse behavior is linked to lunar cycles and they are more active during a full moon.
- These mice have been hunting bark scorpions and evolving alongside them for so long that they’ve evolved a mutation where scorpion venom that is lethal to other animals is converted into a painkiller in the grasshopper mouse’s body.
