In episode 402 of The Muppet Show, the Prairie Dogs steal Kermit’s collar and he laments that he feels naked without it.

Per the wiki. Surely that explains everything.

Everyone and their dog knows it’s genocide. How many officials have to point it out? How do we stop them?

She’s also a stellar example of inequality and the mechanics behind it, imo. Being a trans woman has not made her a champion of queer rights. Belonging to a marginalized group doesn’t automatically make you a good person or even a non-oppressive person.

Kermit’s froghood baffles me, mainly due to the neck frill. I was down a Muppet history rabbit hole recently and realized that he was originally just named “Kermit”, and didn’t become “Kermit the Frog” for some years. So he was probably designed as a frill-necked lizard of some kind and got retconned into a frog. Mystery solved, right? Well no, because then I realized he got the frill the same time they started calling him a frog.

I was so distraught I turned to Muppet Wiki, which it turns out has an entire section on his collar. It’s an article of clothing. 😐

Yup. I don’t understand why people are talking like Harris isn’t also pro-genocide. Obviously more Americans are going to die under Trump and that’s a tragedy too, but why are people pretending the election was about Palestine?

I guess it’s because his Discord server was where he leaked them? I feel like someone who doesn’t use Discord could read this headline and assume he worked for the company, though.

Thanks <3 I think I’m done with birthdays to be honest. Whenever my family asks what I want I just ask for a party with a cake and they never mention it again. Then my friend tried to at least take me out to do something fun and I ruined it for both of us by inviting my sibling. I don’t feel right asking anything else of her or anyone.

I know this is selfish and stupid but everyone is so wound up about the election that I didn’t really get a birthday this year. Half my family didn’t even text me.

A friend still wanted to do a birthday dinner so I texted my sibling asking if they were free, but they somehow missed that it was about my birthday plans and they were having a breakdown (not about the election) so we had to cancel birthday plans to keep them company. I shouldn’t complain because I love my sibling, but whenever I told my family about mental health stuff, they always just yelled at me and made it worse. I don’t understand why they suddenly believe in depression and think depressed people deserve support.

Also like I said, I know it’s selfish and stupid, but I just wanted a day to pretend things were normal before I start scraping money together for my passport and getting my tubes tied.

I’m so sorry. I wish the world was kinder.

I hope you’re able to find a solution. Sleep deprivation makes everything so much harder.

Same 💔

About to get a lot worse!

Thank you ❤️

Hey thanks! These are good suggestions. Focusing on the improvement part instead of depression part makes way more sense.

Thank you <3 I do know people who fit the bill, but I’ve just bringing them down more than they’re able to help me. I guess I’ll just keep chugging for now.

They mostly turn into crabs in a bucket communities because the ones that stick around long term in those communities are usually the doomer types.

That explains a lot. I appreciate the advice. Probably saved me a wild goose chase for a non-toxic one.

This is horrifying for a lot of reasons but it’d be nice if my boss had to see the amount of people who yell at me for masking or tell me I look like a man every day. It wouldn’t help anything I just hate my boss and want her to feel the awkwardness

I’ll take any reference that isn’t Wonderland!

I really wanted that site to crash and burn. Oh well.

Congratulations! That’s great news!
