Ya’s what, now?? Marches to the drum of a different beater. Resident of Uncanny Valley.

This is a photo of the late musician, Prince. He’s sitting down in front of a colorful background. He’s wearing a burgundy/purple mock turtleneck, a deep brown, faux fur jacket, and an excitingly chunky silver chain necklace. His head is tilted to the right of the frame & his eyes are closed; his expression is one of, “I cannot even.” The text at the top of the frame reads, “UMMM…” The text at the bottom of the frame reads: “THIS IS EXACTLY WHY DOVE CRY.”

There are only two settings on the faceplate: “COMPLICIT IN MY OWN DEHUMANIZATION,” and “DIAL DOWN THE FEMINISM.”
A black & white tuxedo cat sits on a light brown cat tree that has a half-dome section.

He is the epitome of the meme, “you are wondering why I called you here, today.”

This is a (Better Homes & Gardens) graphic identifying the difference between a ladybug (a helpful garden insect) & and an Asian beetle (sure, it will kill aphids, but then it starts killing the ladybugs.

“Biderman’s Chart of Coercion.” Methods identified: isolation (no social support/solitary confinement), monopolize perception (attention on immediate situation), humiliation/degradation (resistance > costly than complying), exhaustion (inability to mentally/physically resist), threats (despair/cost 4 disobedience), occasional indulgences (arbitrary ‘reward’ for compliance), demonstrates omnipotence (futile to resist), forcing trivial demands (creates compliance w/trivial demands). Sociologist Albert Biderman developed this tool in 1957 to illustrate the methods of Chinese and Korean torture on American prisoners of war from the Korean War — he was specifically tasked with learning “why our guys ‘cooperated’ w/their captors.” The chart lists eight methods of torture that will psychologically break an individual. The chart was used as a “how to” training tool for gitmo officers in 2002. The power & control described in Biderman’s Chart of Coercion is also present in intimate partner relationships where one person coercively controls the other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biderman's_Chart_of_Coercion
The text above the logo for “No Kings” (a black, 3 pronged crown crossed out with a ❌) is on a yellow background reads: “IT’S OFFICIAL.

This is a screenshot clarifying why I have a zero rating re Disney + customer service. It reads “The “0” score doesn’t reflect the customer service Victoria provided me with—she was very helpful & kind. The “0” score is because I won’t recommend D + to anyone else due to Bob Eiger’s bowing to the FCC. The U.S. is at a dangerous point. Cow-towing to fascists is not the way to go.
A black & white tuxedo cat is laying on his R side on a brown pillow between the arms of a person playing a video game on an Xbox. The cat’s back legs are draped over the player’s R forearm, his front legs are resting against the gamer’s chest which is partially covered by a grey fleece blanket with red stripes. The cat is very interested in the game, and will stay in this position (or one similar to it) as long as he can.
This is a picture of my partner playing video games with attendant black & white tuxedo cat, Rudy-Roo, seen in “Full Babby” position—sprawled across the player’s lap.

See??? “Babby.”

This is a meme of Samuel L. Jackson with his back to a desk stacked with papers & books. He looks like he’s silently saying ‘you really wanna go *there*’, but instead says, ONE OF US HAS MADE A GROSS ERROR AND WASTED THE OTHER PERSON’S VALUABLE TIME.” And we know it’s Samuel’s time that’s been wasted & the person to whom the comment was made would like to curl up and disappear. Repeatedly.

The foliage around the tree & the mammal clinging to it is vivid yellows, golds, & oranges, indicating the season is fall.

Though Fishers are “friend-shaped,” it’s best to leave them in their habitat & admire them from afar.

The text at the bottom of the frame reads “ANYWAY.” The grey kitten shows zero concern.
