Lindsey Graham? Lindsey Graham.

The "Death plays the claw machine" meme art with no caption. Presumably he's wondering if Mitch McConnell or other prominent aging douchebags are even in this thing.

also look at how fucking cute this kitchen is

Another room in my mansion on Hello Kitty Island, this time my cute as shit citrus themed kitchen. The floor is green tile with two large citrus wheels and the wallpaper has green stripes with a citrus swag trip up at the top. My character, still dressed like a lesbian camp counselor, stands at the front left next to a little lemon tree. At far left, there's a green table with two mini appliances sitting on it. At back left, there is a little table shaped like a lemon wedge; it has two more mini appliances. At back right, there is a bed with a teal gingham bedspread and a lemon on the headboard. At far right, there's a seating area with a lemon wedge shaped chair, a side table shaped like a lime half, and a couch with the same motif and color scheme as the bed. On the lime half table is a tray with a lemonade pitcher and glasses. This room is cute as hell.

and i was today years old when I realized if i took my gay ass furniture to the customization station, I could pick DIFFERENT PRIDE FLAG COLOR COMBOS

Screenshot of the furniture customization station on HK Island. In this case the item to be customized is the Pleated Mirror from the Pride--I mean, Paper Parade collection. The colors of the mirror pleats are not the typical rainbow, but are instead the colors of the bisexual pride flag. The other color options shown at left include the more traditional rainbow pride flag, the trans pride flag, the lesbian pride flag, and the ace pride flag. There were even a couple I didn't recognize because I'm old. The scream I scrumpt when I saw this menu, I tell you.

that's an old picture, I've rearranged the room a bit since then

The same HK Island room as above with the same furniture, though the couch and coffee table have been rearranged in the left hand corner. In the right hand corner, the armchair has been relocated along with the matching ottoman and floor lamp. My character is standing behind the dining table, dressed like a lesbian summer camp instructor.

update: I did in fact collect ALL the gay furniture

Screenshot of my house on Hello Kitty Island adventure. My character--a calico-ish cat person--is wearing a rainbow dress and a huge rainbow sun hat, sitting on a rainbow rug. All the furniture--from the dining table and chairs in the foreground, to the couch at left, to the bed in the back corner, and the mirror at right--are all patterned with rainbows. The wallpaper of the room looks like a starry sky with clouds at the baseboard and the floor is dark and glassy. It looks dope.

dude, it gets better

In denying Sorsby’s entry to the supplemental draft, NFL Management Council general counsel Larry Ferazani wrote, “The sole reasons identified in your Petition for seeking entry into the Supplemental Draft are that you have been ‘declared ineligible’ by the NCAA, have ‘exhausted all of (your) avenues to continue in the NCAA,’ and ‘want to now play in the NFL.’ The Petition provides no information regarding the basis for, or timing of, the NCAA’s decision. Public sources, however, indicate that in May 2026 the NCAA issued a determination declaring you permanently ineligible from participation in college athletics, based on a sustained pattern of improper gambling activity during your collegiate career at three different universities.

“The League does not have the complete record of the NCAA’s investigation, and you did not provide any such materials with your Petition. Available information nonetheless indicates that, over the course of your collegiate career, you knowingly engaged in repeated and significant violations of NCAA rules designed to preserve the integrity of athletic competition. Reported conduct includes placing wagers on your own team and teammates and, to avoid detection, establishing or funding accounts in the names of intermediaries who placed bets on your behalf. There are also reports that you may have violated state criminal law.

“Your Petition does not address these matters. Nor does it demonstrate accountability for your conduct or indicate whether, or how, you would adhere to the League’s rules and policies governing the integrity of competition. Instead, even after receiving notice of the NCAA’s decision rescinding your college eligibility in May, you sought to avoid the consequences of that determination through litigation rather than accepting responsibility for your actions, and you pursued entry into the NFL only after abandoning those efforts.”

The NFL instead encouraged Sorsby to look ahead to next spring’s regular NFL Draft.

“As Commissioner Goodell has emphasized, participation in the NFL is a privilege that carries with it significant responsibilities, including accountability,” the letter to Sorsby concluded. “By all accounts, you are a talented player with the potential for future success. We encourage you to focus on preparing for possible entry into the NFL through the 2027 NFL Annual Draft.”

@bgoodg.bsky.social BABE, GET IN HERE, THEY'RE NOT HOLDING A SUPPLEMENTAL DRAFT 😂 www.nytimes.com/athletic/738...

The letter to Sorsby explaining the decision noted that “the League retains sole discretion to determine whether it is appropriate to conduct a Supplemental Draft in any given year. The League has not conducted such a draft for several years and, prior to your submission, the League had no plans to do so this year, as no other player has sought entry. Your Petition — filed three business days before the deadline, without any supporting information or documentation, and only after abandoning your recent litigation efforts to avoid NCAA sanctions — does not provide a basis for the League to alter those plans. The issues presented by your Petition are too significant, and too closely tied to the League’s core integrity interests, to permit meaningful review within the timeline presented.”

The Sickos meme, where a man has his face pressed to a window while he cackles "Yes...Ha Ha Ha...YES!" in glee at something--in this case, JD Vance's suffering.

update: she's here and she's SPECTACULAR

A woman's hand featuring a ring on the middle finger. Cushion cut black spinel flanked on either side by several garnets in a braided silver band.

Another look at the ring where you can better see the braided pattern of the band and the setting.

figured out how to share screenshots; look at this dapper little man! look at my big gay hat!! i am going to collect ALL the gay furniture!!!

Tuxedo Sam (a small, dapper-looking blue penguin) has stopped my character on the beach path to tell me about the Paper Parade, which is definitely not Pride on Hello Kitty Island, wink-wink nudge-nudge. Sam is explaining that the purpose of the parade/festival is "To honor individuality...and, most especially, love!"

Sam's bow tie has raninbow colors. My character was, at the time, dressed like "we have the Blue Brothers at home."

Sam goes on to say "Love for ourselves and love for everyone." He is emoting little sparkles and hearts.

Sam concludes, "We gather together to honor our authentic selves and revel in our individuality."

But this is definitely about *paper.* I'm picking up what you're putting down, Sam.

This image is a screenshot of my character on the dress-up screen. A little tri-color kitten wearing a purple shirt and denim shorts is showing off her HUGE rainbow sunhat with a dramatic fan in the back. This is the tip of the gay Hello Kitty fashion iceberg.

does this not scream evil sorceress

A silver ring with a braided band. The central stone is a cushion cut black spinel. It's flanked on either side by a row of small dark red garnets.

you will not BELIEVE what I found on my phone

Me (at right) circa 2014ish, in a poorly lit hotel hallway, dressed in my Captain Marvel suit, attempting a duck face next to Kelly Sue DeConnick (at left) the undisputed queen of both Carols and duck faces.

Five Captain Marvel cosplayers surrounding an adoring (and adorable) Miss Marvel cosplayer. I'm the third Marvel in from the left.

Kat@longwayback· Jun 11

HI MA'AM once upon a time we made duck faces together at DragonCon where I was one of several Captains Marvel and it was the best day ever. Hope you're having a great one! 💞✨💞✨

Went to IKEA tonight and found Blahaj in his natural habitat

A pile of IKEA stuffed sharks, with a trans pride flag on top. This was exactly as I found them.

Two characters from Arrested Development have a dialogue:

"Let's give toxic men a chance to save us from toxic men."

"Well, did it work for those people?"

"No, it never does, I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but...

...but it might work for us."
