I'm a communist
Hi communist I'm hungry.
Hi Hungry, I’m tired.
soviet anthem plays loudly
I like turtles.
I mean, Ariel had bottom magic, no surgery needed, right?
It’s eight, right?
Eight what?
I especially liked this part for some reason 😄
We have a clumsy greyhound who always makes a bunch of noise going up and down stairs, so we always tell her she sounds like two horses.
Sounds adorable 🥰 😄
XD Thanks for the share!
Ahhh, Neil, gotta be one of my favorite niche internet micro celebrities.
Okay i laughed too much, thanks
As long as it's seven.
Or more.
... 'Bottom Magic' was my stage name ... but that was another time.
It's the "I'm a communist" that does this for me.
it really is the nice little bow that ties it together
It's even better if you imagine it in his voice.
oh my god it is. thank you for making me imagine that
Always knew that crab was red!
Not sure where this is going but I've heard that crabs are actually only turning red when they're dead and cooked (something, something capitalism?)
Blue crabs do turn red when cooked, but red crabs are always red.
But what if the crab is in a forest where no one can see it?
You say no one can see it, but the tree octopus would totally eat it
You might be thinking of lobsters.
Back in the 90s, all goths were nominally bi. Perhaps things have escalated since then?
When I was about 13, I started my path into goth subculture, in the late 90s . I am so very happy that this was the enviorment I was exposed to during my teens, when identity is formed and you are so very open to new ideas.
I grew up with a complete normalisation of gay and lesbian interactions, surrounded by men that were comftable wearing makeup and integrating elements of crossdressing into their outfits.
I could test out my ideas of a male gender and my sexuality without the boundaries that society troughs at us usually and I honestly think it was an absolute blessing.
It's great how, they might have list the contest, but it's undisputably the most "successful" piece of art that came out of it
I don't know what the contest was for, but the piece itself really struck a major cord with its target audience
I want to see the winning piece

Guess I'm a crab

A normal example of what the proletariat is capable of united 
My friend, we're all crabs on this blessed day.
Ashes to ashes, crabs to crabs.
Here's more because I just find it to be hilarious: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-animals-keep-evolving-into-crabs/
Let the crab cook! ... I mean, let him preach!

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
