When the invasion from the fourth dimension came, it had unexpected benefits. The new overlords were surprisingly mild. They only wanted the Earth for Qling, a substance we neither understood nor needed. They filled enormous eye-warping four dimensional tankers with a cargo we couldn’t even perceive, then left us in peace. A few stayed, having found human friends and even lovers.

My neighbour is one such. We met when xe returned my lost cat. “I don’t know how she keeps getting out”, I said, “all the doors and windows are shut”.

“What about that gap there?”

“Where?”

“Oh of course, it’s invisible in three dimensions. Here let me close it up.”

The cat is still furious about this.

What the Texas Supreme Court ruled -- admitted, actually -- is that exceptions to abortion bans are fake. They're not real and they will never be accepted.

There exists no circumstances under which a woman will be allowed to legally have an abortion in Texas and other such jurisdictions because the point is to force pregnancies and to punish and kill women who do not produce a viable birth for whatever reason.

The prescription you fill today, while it's still legal, could conceivably be used against you tomorrow, after trans treatments are criminalized.

And, uh, don't expect your pharmacist to keep those records private. According to a Washington Post report, they're handing over patient data willy-nilly. #trans #news #health #healthcare

Since I missed #MoodMusicMonday yesterday, let's do #TelevisionTunesTuesday! (yes I just made that up)

Pick any song from a TV show or anime that features a cat! The song doesn't have to involve a cat, as long as the show does in some way.

We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Kate Cox, though Texans with complicated pregnancies still face harrowing ordeals. If the next name the nation learns in connection with Texas abortion bans isn’t a dead woman’s, it will be despite the GOP's best efforts.

Spoilers for The Giggle, AND The 1984 Transformers Movie....

Spoilers for Dr Who's the Giggle 

Was talking today about the newest episode of Dr Who with friends who aren't completely familiar with Classic Who. Lissa said at one point "I don't really know who Melanie is."

Really, neither did the old school fans. She actually had a big backstory about being a computer genius from Pease Cottage, none of which was ever on screen. All she really ever did was scream and get caught.

I loved seeing her in the show actually get more character development in 50 minutes than her entire time on Classic Who. And I know Bonnie Langford appreciated it, since the reason she left was the character was doing nothing for her.

Watching the Dirty Pair movie from 1987 right now, and there's something in this and other anime movies of the time I really love, that I wish we'd do here.

When a TV animated show gets made into a 2D movie (A rarity these days), they tend to just add a lot of airbrushing effects to kind of simulate 3D. Anime, instead, just upped the line detail and color detail and way more fluid animation. I'd way more like to see that over the faux 3D effect.

The only movie I remember doing this in the US was the Transformers movie.

I had Kei on the left drawn on one of my school book covers in the 90s, and no one noticed.
