    @ryanhoulihan thanks! Common Dreams looks like a great source for me. :arrow_through_heart:

    Short essay on the lack of positive, fat role models on TV. exists! We need to be more inclusive of fat women in society, and it starts with portraying women's worth as something beyond being skinny.

    @Alice there's no wrong way to Mastodon! Intro, no intro, who cares?

    Yo yo yo, it's Polly-O! Hubby just introduced me to this commercial from 1991. This was the first nationwide launch of string cheese in the United States. String cheese was only "invented" in the United States in 1976. https://youtu.be/raEtcpZRI8I

    Alt text for video: a green bird, possibly a parrot of some sort, is dressed in a blue jacket and gold chains. The bird is the one speaking/rapping. The parrot walks across a bar and then the packaging for the string cheese is shown. It jumps back and forth between the bird rapping, string cheese being pulled, and pizza being pulled. The words "the best part of pizza" are flashed on the screen. The video ends on a shot of the string cheese packing.

    While I'm in the unsolicited advice mood, get yourself a bra fitting if you wear bras. Anytime your clothing size has changed, get a new fitting. Nordstrom does them for free with no expectation of purchasing. I'm sure other department stores do it as well.

    What is a bra fitting? You go in the dressing room, removing your top and bra. Then the fitter, a woman, comes in and measures you around your chest both under and over your boobs. She then gives you your measurements. That's it. Super fast, about 10 minutes total.

    The fitter will recommend bras based on your size and the style you are going for. Depending on your size, Nordstrom may actually have the best price!

    OK wizards:

    Is it me or are the zebra stripes and sharks teeth not in the right places?

    @sofio

    Bicycle handlebar cam photo in the same traffic circle, but this time from in the circle. There is a white pickup truck waiting to enter the circle from the right. The truck has stopped behind the shark's teeth. But the position of the shark's teeth means the truck is blocking the pedestrian crossing entirely.

    somcak,

    @DrTCombs @sofio Yeah, that's a disaster waiting to happen! What were they thinking? :cat_facepalm:​

    On another social media site, I just got an ad for Charlie Kirk. Um, yeah. Headed back over here immediately! I don't need that kind of negativity in my life! :cat_ooh:​

    Artist is apparently from https://lingvistov.com/, but I can't get the website to load, so I can't confirm. Snatched it from Reddit.

    Good morning to everybody but especially Anthony and Louis Maglione .

    'Anthony and Louis Maglione were inseparable, and the brothers shared three passions: rooting for the Red Sox, investing in stocks, and watching their favorite shows on WGBH.... now that they have died and their financial affairs are settled, all their savings — $6 million between them — are going to the Boston public media outlet now known as GBH.'

    Goodbye Mommy Cat

    Mommy Cat, yesterday. Mommy Cat, the mother of four cats who became part of our family for varying lengths of time, passed away today. She was probably 17 years old, it's hard to know for sure, but we had her for more than 15 years. She was a wild cat. Many years ago she appeared and adopted us, dragging in with her four kittens.

    https://odd.blog/2023/06/30/goodbye-mommy-cat/

    somcak,

    @donncha I'm so sorry for your loss. She sounds like a lovely kitty. May her memory be a blessing.

    I must apologize to my fellow Cuties!! I've been posting and commenting on a bunch of negative news today from the US. To make up for it, enjoy this pic of River, the dapple sitting on daddy's lap. :bear_flowers:

    So Im not particularly good looking and fat. But how the heck am I attracting these "hey girl" guys (it's always guys) on social media? I even get it here. At least here it's easy to block and move on. :baby_kitty:
