you know how one of my partners recently had top surgery? their good friend avery has been doing a lot to support them throughout the process, and avery is about to get a surgery of his own! you can help by donating to his fundraiser or buying his art (of both the physical and digital varieties)

I love fishing. With naught but fiber, a splintered bone, and patience- our ancestors fed themselves and those important to them with the bounty of the lake, pond, and river.

Waxing poetic about fishing aside, I just wanted to congratulate a couple of guys who tied my state's Black Crappie record- then a couple hours later broke it! 3+ pounds for both of them.

I'm pleased to see my state's waterways doing so well to produce such hefty and bold fish! I hope to get my own rod and reel with a bit of tackle to get started applying old fishing knowledge that's fed my ancestors in these same lands for generations.
If anyone has any catfishing ideas and fun ways to remember how to tie fishing line to sinker and then to hook, let me know! Unfortunately that knowledge didn't get a chance to get to me.

there's an upload of wall-e IN ITS ENTIRETY that is being recommended to random people, it's been up since the 22nd and so far the only thing that youtube moderation has done is turn on the "youtube for kids" thing

absolutely nuts?? like.. this is both cool (copyright infringement is fuckin awesome, especially wrt disney shit) and also really funny (because somehow a disney movie with 1.6 million views is up)

like.. ???? wtf????!?!

honestly i'm surprised it wasn't taken down earlier. i remember the dark age of disney youtube poops where a bunch of them got taken down, even though they were heavily edited and were significantly different to the originals.

honestly i thought some kind of copyright protection bot would pick up the movie and nuke it from orbit but... it just didn't?

anyway i think that's the most interesting thing to happen on youtube this week.

stay fruity ✨
