BTW, I also like this one for the other -isms... my Homer Simpson brain has no problem understanding any of this, hahahhaa. I just googled it and found it apparently appeared in about 1936! Surprised me, I thought it was more recent.

A little primer on the -isms...
Socialism: If you have two cows, you give one to your neighbor.
Communism: If you have two cows, you give them to the government and the government then gives you some milk.
Fascism: If you have two cows, you keep the cows and give the milk to the government; then the government sells you some milk.
New Dealism: If you have two cows, you shoot one and milk the other; then you pour the milk down the drain.
Nazism: If you have two cows, the government shoots you and keeps the cows.
Capitalism: If you have two cows, you sell one and buy a bull.

My durpasaurus, for once not sitting right ON my puzzle book. She wants ALL the attentions.

Big fat floofy tortie cat, sitting on her big fat floofy behind on the bed, rear legs splayed out in front of her, tail curling between, and forelegs out to the sides. She is gazing off to the left with a rather disgruntled look on her face for being disturbed in her bathing. To the left is an open book of puzzles, which I was working on before her schlurping distracted me. She will wreak her vengeance by sitting directly on the pages next time.

THIS. RIGHT. HERE. There is very little "English" in English, and calling it "American" is beyond ridiculous. If these morons only knew where so many words they use on a daily basis came from...

A block of text reading "English is what happens when Vikings learn Latin and use it to shout at Germans, and then the French shout back."

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Jul 14

Yup... I know there really aren't many of these people here! Fun thing I found today... very accurate. There is very little "English" in English. We (a-hem) borrowed from everyone. If the people I mentioned above only knew where some of the words they THINK are English came from... (A-HEM).

I don't know about the rest of you, but I would CHEERFULLY fork over my tax dollars for THIS.

Likely an AI rendering of an alternate design for the orange fuckwit's arch. It is a tan colored cement, round, with an arched opening through the middle. The top is his head, superimposed on a giant penis, complete with veins and head. To the sides of the opening, on the outside of the base, are two giant veiny balls. Plaques on the front say "Make America Great Again" and "Winning Everything Every Time".

She asked for blue and was disappointed with the color she got, she had someone else do the "paws", the license plate says "Woofie", she has two spaniels and purple hair, and she's going to be 90 in a week. Lady, you ROCK.

A late model Kia Carnival in a sort of slate blue green, with large purple paw print decals on it, headed toward the back! Spotted in a local grocery parking lot. The owner has two spaniels, purple hair, and will be 90 next week. Lady, you ROCK.

Thanks to this... I now have a big problem with sliced celery.

A single slice of cross-cut celery, a gentle curve, darker green on the top... very creepily resembling a maggot.

Spotted out and about today... oh, I so needed the giggle. I don't know what company owns this truck... but guessing it has something to do with the manufacture or selling of wine. "Yes Way Rosé"... VERY clever!

Street view from the opposite direction, with a focus on a truck with text over the cab which reads "Yes Way Rosé". Very clever!!

YAAASSS!! The other day I stopped on my way into the Post Office to watch (and praise) these guys. They were telling me about the ABUSE they got from people going by. Regardless of their own feelings re. what they were doing, they're city workers, doing their job. People suck.

City workers repainting an LGBTQ crosswalk in RI on a sunny day. Right outside the East Providence City Hall, with the Post Office on the other side. Pride flag rainbow on the left side, LGBTQ colors on the left! They had the stripes masked off, and were doing a fantastic job.

Those of us "slaves" to our pets do it 'cause we WANT to. We treat them the way we wish everyone would treat us, and their love is unconditional. When I see my Kat all contented, my heart wants to explode with happiness for her, but also with longing for the same for myself.

Head and shoulders shot of a tortie cat snoozing with her head on her crossed forepaws, on a bed covered with a patchwork quilt.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· May 21

OK folks. Heads up. Have suspected for a long time that inactive accounts are being hacked and "repurposed". A rando reposted a totally irrelevant comment of mine, checked Bluesky. Account created 1.5 years ago... practically no activity... then a name change 12 minutes ago. Commence begging.

Screen shot of a Bluesky account started 1.5 years ago, with a name change RIGHT before they started posting pictures of starving kids asking for money. I am sympathetic to Gaza, but these accounts are all scammers. Preying on our sympathy. Sickening.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· May 11

Here's my wanton p-.... hussy!!

Lazy, wanton tortie cat lying on her back, one forearm stretched out by her head, both rear legs splayed to the sides with tail between! She is loaded with floof, and has a little nakie patch in the shape of a heart on her lower tummy.

Widdle Marco Rubio a la Bryan Noem. Picture from the Zelensky meeting with shitgibbon where he is trying to become one with a sofa, a cringey look on his face. It has been altered to add gigantic fake bazooms. But unlike Bryan Noem's, his nips are even.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Mar 26

Let's hope that silly award gives him frightening flashbacks to ...

Orange clown sitting at his desk looking horrified as he's being justifiably harassed by an eagle during a photoshoot. The symbol of the America he is destroying.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Mar 9

Spotted out and about. I love living in a predominantly blue state. I cannot help but hope that this is a subtle FUCK YOU to the current regime. Joe wasn't perfect, but dammit, I miss him.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Mar 8

Eee!! She's so cyoot. My Kat has split-snoot, too. That is a looong wait, OMG, must be so sweet to finally, finally see the result of all your patience and love. My gurl's "Glamor Shot"...

Head on view of a big fat floofy longer haired tortie cat just brimming with tortie-tude. She's in loaf position on a blue and white duvet which sets off her orange and black fur to perfection. Gazing steadily at the camera with green-gold eyes, and the sun shining through her ears and tinging them pink, she looks every inch the diva queen she is.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Mar 7

OMG. This freakin' diva cat of mine. I found her a felted cat cave at the thrift MONTHS back. She went in it ONCE. A couple days back I gave up on her ever using it and moved it from the bedroom to the sunporch. And today she's curled up in it, contented as a clam. Why is it attractive now!?

A black and orange diva wench of a tortie cat, curled up inside a blue and gray round felted cat cave. She is looking over her shoulder at me, puzzled by my incredulity that after months and months of ignoring this thing, she suddenly finds it attractive. I was about to give it away!

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Mar 5

Should I tell her he once told me he'd move out if I ever got a cat? That he used to have nightmares about them? That I had to beg for two years before I could go choose her and bring her home? Ah well. If I did, she'd probably just smirk knowingly. He is now smitten with ze kitten.

A big fat floofy black and orange tortie cat sitting on a low footstool covered in a reddish fabric in front of a man sitting on a couch. He is petting her neck and she appears quite pleased with the attention.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Mar 4

Her mouth scares me... those teeth... like a fish. I thought piranha, but theirs are pointy, so I guess she's more of a sheepshead...

A hand is gripping the head of a sheepshead fish in a red cooler full of ice, pointing it forward so the large, human-like teeth can be seen.

The continuing Saga of Snow: Of course, town has not removed the giant mountain of snow in the roadway. But Mother Nature is adding a lovely skimcoat of white, the piles were starting to look a bit dingy! Levels have gone down significantly w/ warmer temps, neighbor's truck is visible again!

View out our front window of two roads meeting at an acute right angle. In the middle is a giant pile of snow in the road, with a telephone pole in the middle like a giant birthday candle. The curb is only about 2-3" away from the pole, but the snow pile extends into the road a good 10-15'. We have a driveway on each road forming this right angle, and our neighbors have one parallel to our north-south drive. The town plows cannot make the right angle during snowstorms, so we end up clearing WAY more snow than we should have to, just to get our cars out... and our east-west driveway usually gets at least partially blocked with what the plows try to shove off to the side. Calls to the town go unanswered and messages are apparently ignored.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Mar 1

Kat, practicing her "Twister" moves. Or having a senior moment... who knows! We just glance over and find her sitting there like this, with a "what was I just doing?" look on her fuzzy little face. Lookit those floofy feets! Durp!

A big, fat floofy tortie cat sitting in the doorway of a carpeted room. She is sitting twisted sideways on her fuzzy butt, frozen mid-bath. One hind foot is still in the air, the other is splayed out to the right. One forepaw forward, one bracing her behind. She appears to have had a profound thought right in the middle of gnawing at herself, and is either still pondering the meaning of life or wondering what she was in the middle of doing before the thought hit.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Feb 25

... and yeah. It is snowing again. Here's another shot of the front of our neighbor's house. A loader came by and shoved some snow into their front yard. Why they took care of THAT side and not the much larger mess on the other is beyond me. That be my 5'3" hubs...

My darling li'l 5'3" hubs, standing in front of a gigantic pile of snow in the neighbor's front yard. Town came by with a loader and shoved all this into their front yard, it's gotta be about 7' high.

The aftermath of Winter Storm Hernando... Look at the middle of the photo... see that right angle in the pavement? Our property/driveways are to the RIGHT. To the left is TOWN PROPERTY, i.e., the street. That gigantic mountain of snow is IN. THE. ROAD. Look at all we had to clear to get out.

View from our front window, showing aftermath of Winter Storm Hernando in New England. Our property is in a corner, with very limited street frontage... only about 30' total, forming a right angle, with driveways both north/south and east/west. City plows cannot make this angle and they do not make any extra effort to shove the extra snow which comes out as they make a curve instead. There is a huge mountain of snow, literally in the street, congesting what should be two lanes of traffic down to only one. From the north going south, there is a stop sign at the end, which many people ignore. From west going east, vehicles go around the corner heading north on the OTHER side of the road. It is pretty much a miracle we have not seen an accident yet. There is a telephone pole in the middle of the photo, indicating the vicinity of the curb on this angle. It is about 3' tops from the edge of the road, yet this bank of snow is pretty much obstructing that whole side of the snow, and is higher than our heads. We had to clear a VERY large portion of the TOWN STREET to get our cars out of our driveways. There is another bank of snow visible on the left, where you would ordinarily be able to see our neighbor's drive, parallel to our north-south drive. The nose of their truck is literally covered with snow (not in use ATM). Oh yeah... our east-west drive has a hoop style canvas "carport" and there is a car squeezed in next to that, too, but nearly invisible under yet more snow. AND YES, IT IS CURRENTLY SNOWING AGAIN.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Feb 23

Walkin' in a winter wonderland... hahhaa. We just came in from Round II, re-clearing the ridge of plow vomit blocking all three of our driveways. Our neighbors rent, and all they have are shovels.

View from the inside end of our north-south driveway. The arch on the right hand side is our canvas "hoop-house" car port in our east-west driveway. We still can't back the car in there straight out, but hopefully can maneuver it out via the NS drive. We have piles of snow higher than our heads on both sides of our driveway. The streetlights in the middle show there really is a road out there somewhere.

View from the street, showing the results of hours of digging and snowblowing with our neighbors to make a shared access to all three of our driveways crowded into a right angle formed by two roads. Hopefully the town will not clog it up again.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Feb 23

Friggin' town. I get they can't make our corner, but they basically shoved a buttload of snow in front of our driveway. Snow drifted and piled on; now we have a ridge higher than our heads behind our car. Hard packed slushy road snow in it. They need to come & FIX this. Not the first time either.

Road view from our property looking north, we are in a corner where two roads meet and form a sharp right angle. Town cannot make the curve with a plow and there is now a ridge of snow higher than our heads blocking our driveway, out of the frame to the right.

Ridge of snow in front of our driveway. Standing on the road, same level as our car, and the snow is forming a ridge from higher than my head on the left, sloping down towards our other driveway. We have two drives at right angles, one on each of the roads forming a right angle in front of our house.

Hubs out in our north/south driveway with the snowblower, trying to clear enough out so that the neighbors we've let share our drive can get in with their truck. Our east/west driveway is not even accessible due to all the snow in front of it, thanks to the town plows. The pile of snow to the right around the telephone pole is higher than hubs' head.

Our car, which we won't be able to get out of our east/west driveway because there's a ridge of snow blocking the way, higher than our heads. We might be able to back it out into the north/south driveway and get it out that way.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Feb 23

Hubs outside. Trying to get to the cellar door to clear it. The thing under the cover is our snowblower. And yeah, that's how high our "front door" stairs are, which is why we have been using basement entrance.

View from 6-7' high front entrance of our house. Hubs is trying to shovel his way to our basement entrance to the right, currently blocked by drifting snow. Wind is raging, snow is drifting, and there are odd spots where the snow is hardly accumulating at all, right next to drifts keeping that door from opening.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Feb 23

OK. Endeavor here. Window bird feeder... see access hole? Very carefully lowered phone into that to get the pic of what's going on outside! Third pic is what it looked like out there a few years back when we had a garden. So you can see that hoop thingie is really at a higher level...

Window bird feeder on our heated sunporch. It fits flush in the window, and the feeder portion is a half dome shape which is actually inside the house. There is an access hatch at the top.

View from the opening inside the bird feeder, showing snow raging outside, and the drifts piling up... obscuring walls and halfway up fences.

A similar view of that area of the yard, from years back when we were working on a garden. There is a cement brick wall to the left, where our driveway and hooped carport are about 1.5' above garden lvel. There is also a 1.5" little "wall" in the foreground, separating the garden from the side yard lawn. All now utterly invisible under drifted snow.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Feb 23

All of our windows on all sides of the house 1.5 stories up. Window to right is at a right angle to the bedroom wall, ordinarily you see the bedroom window. Snow totally stuck to all outside storms. Like being in a blanket fort & only getting glimpses through a hole or fuzzily through a worn spot.

Heated sunporch windows. Like every window on all sides of our house ATM, 1.5 stories up, covered with snow so we can't even see outside. This wall forms a right angle to the bedroom wall, and you should be able to see the bedroom window, but not today.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Feb 22

Does she have a nakie belly!? My tortie does, too. I thought for a while that she had gnawed her fur off, but over the years, I've seen quite a few pics of torties with little pink bellies. My fave pic of her, it looks like a heart!

My slutty tortie cat, sprawled out languorously on her back on a purple, yellow and orange striped runner rug. A fave pic because it shows a cute little heart shape on her belly, pointing towards her hoo-ha. She's shaggy and floofy and yes, I brush her, but five minutes later it looks like I didn't bother.

Lachrymalis@aquavirago· Feb 22

Bonus Catpost. Behind our carport/igloo thing, in the lot of the 4-family to the North, is a small camper. Actually OCCUPIED full time. And he has a cat. The cat is an outdoor cat and obviously he has no fear. Spot the Cat.
