@ki *clicks heels together* "fuck this place Toto, the flying monkeys were better."

@Fettlaus because they don't actually have any of their own. I know, it's weird, but true. Republicans are all like Ken dolls down there. It's part of the deal they made with Satan for him to send them Reagan, and they're still salty about how that turned out.

@munin and you *know* once they're making solid progress wiping out trans folx and immigrants, they'll start into Black folx, women, and the rest of the queers.

#Trans folx in #Kansas given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state. As of tomorrow (Thursday), driving while trans is a class-B misdemeanor ($1000 fine and up to 6 months in jail).

The zero-grace-period execution means driving to turn in your license is a crime.

Oh yeah, this bill also enacted a bathroom bounty program allowing private individuals to sue trans folx for using the restroom.

Straight fluff baller, shot-caller.
Bleppin' at the haters, could ya be any smaller?
Don't need my tower to be 10 feet taller.

What? I never said cats were *good* at spitting rhymes.

@Fruan but have you ever tasted fresh padlock? You never forget your first one.

@Fruan you might be on to something.

Of perhaps it's "Maximum resistance to licking"? You'll never make it to the Tootsie roll core.

@ohmu it's 5.

Maximum resistance to picking.

If "maximum" is about 20 seconds, I'd hate to see their less-secure locks.

@amenonsen I still think it's somewhere around half to a third that get answered. Probably more like a third lately. Sometimes it takes days for someone to respond though.

Hi there @akousanet! Thanks for the follow request! Unfortunately there's not enough vibe on your profile to check, so...

After you accidentally step on their robe, a rather sarcastic and moderately disgruntled wizard looks deep into your soul and polymorphs you into an animal, what animal is it?

Were it me, I'd put £5 on being turned into a pygmy goat and left in a petting zoo; full of righteous anger, but too adorable to be taken seriously as I headbutt authority figures.

So to keep kids safe from online predators, we're willing to *horribly* invade their privacy and sell all their data to predators? I see the system is working as intended ‍

Hey #PNW peeps! I'm not in a position to help here, but maybe you are?

Hey Fedi,

How are you doing today?

Everything okay? Do you need a hug?
