this is the restrained version of me. i could be much worse.
this is insanely racist and I haven't even seen much about this online yet
after Bad Bunny won they added a Latin song category and after Rosé got three nominations the grammys added a k-pop/c-pop/j-pop category they have always been afraid of well-performing artists of color challenging white artists in mainstream categories
we're over halfway through 2026. what are everyone's most beloved books of the year so far?
I’m kinda feeling a bit of everything these days and also nothing
literally every problem i've had in my adult life has been solved by open and honest communication. which is fucking stupid, first of all
like i can't even just a little bit solve my problems with wanton violence? for real??
i'm like a caricature in a children's show. "and then Whimsy took a deep breath, made a few polite phonecalls, and everything resolved itself 🥰" fucking hell man when do i get to punch someone hard as fuck in the jaw
“Don’t lie”
Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” that was written in 1950 is set on the day of August 4th, 2026 (tomorrow)!! Now’s your chance to read it around the time it’s based in!
I was just talking with a friend who hates cooking which is so wild to me bc I love cooking so much it is hard for me to understand people that don't like it, but i know many exist. my parents don't like cooking either, but my grandmothers both do, so i feel like it jumped a generation for us. and then i also wonder how much of it is learned and how much not. so! poll time
Carrock^_^
we have more than two green parrots.
We have Kea, Kākā, Kākāpō, and Kākāriki (of which there are 3 species).
Kākā are more olive brown than green but are really neat and beautiful birds and are growing in numbers thanks to conservation efforts.
Kea are mostly green with red underwings and b will pickpocket you, but then again so will weka. The bit about them stopping traffic is absolutely true - I have a friend who has witnessed this.
Kākāpō are, in the words of my ecology professor, “really bad at being parrots”. They suck, but endearingly so. They are so bad at being alive and climbing things and reproducing but you cannot help but love them. Again, they are green, but in a shambling moss pile sort of way.
Kākāriki are much smaller and are kept as pets internationally. The three kinds are the red crowned, the yellow crowned and the orange fronted. Of these, the latter is the rarest (currently critically endangered).
There are also several other species endemic to various outlying islands. We have, in total, nine surviving endemic parrot species and several subspecies of those.
If you see ANY of these at all, regardless of whether or not they pickpocket you, all of them are are very cool and very worthy of respect.
