The two took to the slopes after Kitty saw a skiing commercial and wanted to try it out. I think Norman prefers the beach.

me telling chris claremont about Rachel/Betsy

Aight so there was this guy pretty much everyone hated in my grade in high school, Brandon. He was extremely sexist and rude (he once said if girls don't want to be raped they shouldn't leave their houses, to a girl that had been raped, and told one of my friends he was dating that she couldn't cut her hair because she wouldn't be 'feminine' anymore.)

And he was a fucking genius- which pisses me off the most. I'm talking valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA, with his actual cumulative grade being 99.8, and a 36 on the ACT (a perfect score). He hated me because I'm an asshole and openly hated him and called him out on his bullshit- I hated him because he was a sexist homophobic asshole and treated me like I was a second class citizen to him because I was a girl and I was 'stupid'- so it was mutual. He even went as far as to convince the teacher and the rest of the class I dropped AP lit when I missed half the class to have a root canal one day.

Anyways, he had twin brothers, Christian and Matthew. They were four years younger than us, and both were in band with me. One day before a competition we were chilling at a mall, and my friends Noelle and Elaine convinced me to eat lunch and go shopping with their group of friends- which the twins were apart of. And me and Elaine were tight in a 'we keep each other up to date on the latest gossip' kinda way. And when I was having a conversation with someone else, and her and the twins and Noelle were having a conversation next to us, Elaine "accidentally" brings up that Matthew had a crush on me a little bit too loudly.

So one day Brandon was being particularly annoying and asshole-ish in AP lit, and I "accidentally" brought up that I was pretty sure one of his brothers had a crush on me. Which another friend in band that played the same instrument as Matthew confirmed that it was Matthew. And I brought that up because I wanted to see the look on his face when he found out one of his brothers had a crush on me. And it was even better than I expected.

TL;DR: My high school nemesis' younger brother had a crush on me, and I brought it up in class to piss him off when he was being annoying.

So my bike was stolen from our garage last night. My beloved, custom, carbon fiber, most-expensive-thing-I-own-aside-from-my-car bike. I just found it listed on FB marketplace. Shit is about to go down.

spock’s room decor is actually fucking bonkers. The weapons??? the big red velvet curtain??? like ok phantom of the opera go crazy.

for reference jim’s room has some photos and a plant so we can surmise this is uniquely a spock being a dramatic weirdo thing

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST PHOTO HE LOOKS PISSED

somedays you lie in bed and do nothing, somedays you lean your entire body out of a car for 10 minutes while you friend drives through a very public area and a cop pulls you over and he has a very scary face

The Bronx Zoo has just released Flaco's necropsy results.

He was not thriving, as the people championing the ideal of "freedom" claimed.

He was poisoned.

He was sick.

He was suffering.

"Freedom" would have eventually killed him. A building just happened to do it first.

"Postmortem testing has been completed for Flaco, the Eurasian eagle owl that was found down in the courtyard of a Manhattan building a little over a year after his enclosure at the Central Park Zoo was vandalized on February 2, 2023. Onlookers reported that Flaco had flown into a building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on February 23, 2024, and acute trauma was found at necropsy. Bronx Zoo veterinary pathologists determined that in addition to the traumatic injuries, Flaco had two significant underlying conditions. He had a severe pigeon herpesvirus from eating feral pigeons that had become part of his diet, and exposure to four different anticoagulant rodenticides that are commonly used for rat control in New York City. These factors would have been debilitating and ultimately fatal, even without a traumatic injury, and may have predisposed him to flying into or falling from the building. The identified herpesvirus can be carried by healthy pigeons but may cause fatal disease in birds of prey including owls infected by eating pigeons. This virus has been previously found in New York City pigeons and owls. In Flaco’s case, the viral infection caused severe tissue damage and inflammation in many organs, including the spleen, liver, gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and brain.   No other contributing factors were identified through the extensive testing that was performed. Flaco’s severe illness and death are ultimately attributed to a combination of factors—infectious disease, toxin exposures, and traumatic injuries—that underscore the hazards faced by wild birds, especially in an urban setting."

The naturalistic fallacy kills animals in horrible ways. The romanticism of what humans want to think of as a "free, wild, pure life" cannot be allowed supplant the reality of injury, sickness, and death. Releasing captive animals (or keeping them from being recaptured) because it's "better" for them to suffer untethered than live a healthy, safe, captive life is inhumane and horrific.

Flaco's life didn't have to end in pain, sickness, and suffering.

Flaco's death didn't have to be tragic.

But once the idea of "freedom" entered the chat, Flaco's fate was unavoidable.
