iโ€™ve been playing the deck online and itโ€™s really fun. the strategy is using tangela to set up big damage from a victreebell. one-shotting a way better card with just a victreebell is hilarious

video game youtubers are always saying โ€œinherentlyโ€ but never in a context that makes sense. once you notice it you canโ€™t un-notice it. i am inherently cursed by this

Mimi is standing with Rae. Mimi has a neutral expression. 
MIMI: RAE, YOU DON'T NEED TO LISTEN TO STEELY DAN JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE 30. YOU CAN STILL LISTEN TO "YOUNG PEOPLE MUSIC."
Rae looks defensive. 
RAE: BUT... I LIKE STEELY DAN! IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE I STARTED LISTENING TO THEM THE MOMENT I TURNED 30! I SWEAR! 

TEXT: IN A MONTH, AFTER MIMI TURNS 30
We see Mimi wearing headphones playing music. Her eyes are wide and tearing up. She looks like sheโ€™s overcome with beauty.
MIMI: OH NO... SHE WAS RIGHT.... OR... IS IT BECAUSE I'M 30 NOW? WHAT IS REAL?!?

Rae, with her eyes closed and her hand on her chest, confidently speaks.
RAE: TURNING 30 HAS PUT THINGS INTO PERPSECTIVE FOR ME. NOW I KNOW WHAT IS AND ISN'T IMPORTANT. MY IMMATURE HABITS OF THE PAST SUDDENLY FEEL ALIEN TO ME.

Mimi narrows her eyes, looking annoyed. 
RAE: YOU WOULDN'T GET IT, MIMI YOU'RE STILL IN YOUR TWENTIES. YOU ARE BUT ANOTHER ZOOMER IN GENERATION SELFIE, UNABLE TO SEE PAST YOUR YOUTH.

Mimi now looks very mad. 
MIMI: I TURN 30 NEXT MONTH! YOU'RE ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLDER THAN ME!!

We see a yellow diamond-shaped traffic sign. It says: 
ROAD SLIPPERY WHEN WET

The sign now reads:
MOST THINGS SLIPPERY WHEN WET

The sign now reads:
DIRT MUD WHEN WET

The sign now reads: 
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT BECOMES SOMETHING OTHER THAN SLIPPERY
WHEN WET

The sign now reads: 
WELL, MUD IS SLIPPERY IN ITS OWN WAY.
DEPENDS IF IT'S DRY. WAIT. DRY MUD IS DIRT.

We now see a stop sign next to the yellow diamond-shaped sign. It, like all stop signs, says:
STOP
The yellow diamond-shaped sign now says: 
SORRY TALKATIVE WHEN BORED

Two panel comic. Panel 1: girl rifling through her purse. Says to her boyfriend, โ€œbabe, can you hold my keys?โ€ He replies, โ€œsure.โ€ Panel 2: he stares in disbelief at the โ€œkeysโ€ placed in his hand, a single car key and approximately six key chain toys and charms overflowing in his open palm.

i grew up with birdo and yoshi being a couple so itโ€™s always felt normal to me, but itโ€™s so funny that one sat in the 90โ€™s nintendo was like โ€œyou know that boss from mario 2? sheโ€™s dating yoshi nowโ€ like imagine if they were like โ€œhey, guess what. wario is married to professor e. gadโ€ today

Rae looks excited. 
RAE: I LISTEN TO A LOT OF MUSIC. THEREโ€™S MODEST MAN, ARCTIC HUMANS, THE GUYZ, IMAGINE DUDESโ€ฆ

RAE: I LIKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC WITH MEANINGFUL LYRICS LIKE "THE MOUNTAIN CLIMBING HUMANS"
We see a cartoon recreation of the album cover of Heretic Pride by The Mountain Goats. Itโ€™s a grey cloudy sky with โ€œheretic prideโ€ written in gothic looking text, with โ€œthe mountain climbing humansโ€ written above in an italic serif font. 

RAE: I LIKE MUSIC WITH FUNKY RIFFS AND A UNIQUE SOUND LIKE "KING HUMAN
AND THE LOOMIN' GOO-MEN"
We see a cartoon recreation of the album cover of Iโ€™m In Your Mind Fuzz by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. A giant neon green cat paw emerges from a mountain comprised of several pointy crags. The sky behind it is dark red. Fog emanates above a neon green grid plane. A box in the foreground shows a cartoon brain with the text โ€œIโ€™M IN YOUR MIND FUZZโ€ below it.


I EVEN LIKE CLASSIC ROCK BANDS LIKE "THE BEA-INGS! THE HUMAN BEA-INGS, TO BE EXACT." WAIT, IS THAT THEIR FULL BAND NAME? 
We see a recreation of the White Album by The Beatles, so itโ€™s just blank white with grey sans serif text slightly askew in the almost-but-not-quite middle saying: 
โ€œThe BEA-INGS
The HUMAN BEA-INGS, TO BE EXACTโ€

whenever i heard a lyric i knew about through cultural osmosis (like โ€œwhatโ€™s my age again?โ€) i assumed it was a reference to that song, but all the other lyrics were original and contemporary. then โ€œall the small thingsโ€ played. i may not be smart

i donโ€™t understand the rules at all, but kind of want to learn the game if it would be possible / make sense to combine sonic cards with FF7 cards. is that even possible?

i was once too broke to move from one apartment in a building down the hall to another post-breakup. moving isnโ€™t cheap or particularly fun &, by and large, trans people arenโ€™t doing great economically. 401,000 trans people fleeing their governments should be considered a fucking national emergency.
