@alva that’s not shitposting, that’s charming.

See also tiggiwinkle hedgehog. There’s a whole family of related genes.

It’s receptor is frizzled, by the way.

@garfiald FINALLY, someone acknowledges my pain.

Lesbian metal? I had no idea. And singing about kittens? OK.

Must go to Boulder, CO this week to snuggle a baby. It's a tough job, but something grandpas have to do.

@NonbinaryMoth I've been practicing my screams for years.

Gotta start sucking up to my superiors so I too can be a miserable failure at a job I'm not competent to do.

MY Aquaman would treat books with respect.

Charleston, Illinois is not sponsoring a trip to the Ark Park anymore. Thanks, FFRF!

@Reinderdijkhuis I've concluded that this is what spider females do when they reach an age -- and a size -- where they don't have to pretend to be interested in males anymore. The world is their feast.

@lilithsaintcrow Yeah, but I'm not giving her any more men to eat. She's going to have to make do with whatever she's got stored in her spermatheca.

That's right. I'm punishing her by depriving her of male company.

(Vera hums contentedly in her web.)

An uneventful update on the status of the spider colony. Everyone looks good, but they are not having the orgies they're supposed to. Also, Vera is greedy and evil.

Ross Douthat and the New York Times have earned a spot in the tumbrel. That was the most blatantly racist article I've read in that rag -- all neatly coded under the unassuming acronym of "WASP".

Maybe I should start watching Fox News.

Nah.

The Republican fantasy: a mute button for everyone else.

I've never been to Charleston, IL, but it's creeping me out.

Michael Behe pretends to be a college professor, unconvincingly.
