This is great fascinating info, but did anyone notice that OP said "the nuisance of our language"? (though I assume they probably meant "nuance")

What's the time distance between that and when you usually try to go to sleep (if there is a usual time)? My caffeine cut-off is 5 pm and my sleep time is around 1-1:30 am. (I wake up around 9 am usually) You with your sunrise pictures, if your bedtime is similarly pretty early, maybe 4:30 is too late?
Sometimes I wonder if I’m drinking too much coffee. I have a cut off time for caffeine at 4:30pm and I have decaf for the evening. But maybe that should be earlier? Like 2pm cut off time?

Ah. Still, though. This sure seems like an artifact that could have turned up on Supernatural in some way.

dumb outdated meme thing i made over a year ago but never posted, new revised edition
characters included based on the criteria of “i could think of something mildly amusing to say about them”
(lest i overexplain the joke: number 189 of the “700 Hobo Names” in “The Areas of My Expertise” by John Hodgman is “Skywise the Sexual Elf.” god i love the 700 Hobo Names)

To recognize TERFs, anti’s, fash, incels and other internet shitstains, one pattern you need to recognize is this:
They take some normal human behavior
Explain it in the darkest, most bad faith way possible
And then ignore any other, often more realistic, explanation.
A simple example:
A lot of adults watch TV shows about high school relationship drama.
Dark bad faith take: all these adults are obsessing over teenager sex lives because they want to fuck teenagers.
More realistic explanation: a lot of adults have memories of their own high school relationship drama that they like to relive, process, etc through media.
Another realistic explanation: People can empathize with the stories of hobbits, dragons, defense lawyers, plucky detectives, space rebels, talking dogs and teenagers in high school without always having a desire to fuck the characters involved. It is possible to just enjoy a story as a story without it fulfilling some emotional of sexual need.
Like, when you take a tiny step back, it becomes clear that the jump from ‘adults watch high school dramas’ to ‘they all want to fuck teenagers’ is absolute moon logic.
This logic only works if you assume the absolute worst possible things about the group you’re talking about. This logic works if the only lens you can see a group through is ‘predator’ and you do not acknowledge that they are completely humans who can just do non-predatory things like ‘enjoying stories’.
And assuming the absolute worst possible things about a specific group while denying their complexity and humanity… well, that is absolutely key to what TERFs, anti’s, fashos, incels, etc. do.

Very proud of the newest Hitchhiker's Guide Towel, and was so excited to get the commission for an older project to give it new life.
Now they can always know where their towel is, lol.

Wait, what? Usually when these posts say denied, I can see why. For example, the customer's supposed explanation was cheeky and obviously not what most people would take the thing to mean, or even if innocent there's a reasonable argument that it might get mixed up with something else. But TUNAFSH? Especially after the DMV worker apparently verified the story? What's the problem here?

Customer: I’M A PROFESSIONAL FISHERMAN AND I FISH FOR TUNA ALL OVER THE WORLD DMV: I GOOGLED HIM, HE IS AND HE DOES Verdict: DENIED

I love the Monkey island series so much, it is one of the few pieces of media that makes me laugh out loud!
If you haven't played through these games, please consider it!!
