Unlike the poor kitty named after the Manteno Wonder and entramanure Bernadette Moran Cacca, we here at MoronicArts do not know this kitty.
Sybil Kibble thinks it would be a treat if this adoptable cat got a loving fur-ever home.

Today I celebrate two years of no-contact with my narcissistic parents. I was trauma-bonded to them for over 40 years. Speaking and learning new languages, drawing, singing and writing have all helped me cope immensely, as has my trauma-aware therapist and psychiatrist. I wrote this story to celebrate me having yeeted them from my life:

@CanisPundit Squirrels communicate with each other through a variety of nonverbal cues and behaviors. Some common forms of nonverbal communication in squirrels include: 1. Tail flicking: Squirrels use their tails to signal various messages to other squirrels. For example, a rapid flicking of the tail can indicate agitation or warning, while a slow wagging motion may signal relaxation or curiosity. 2. Body posture: Squirrels can convey their intentions and emotions through their body language. A hunched or arched back accompanied by raised fur may indicate fear or aggression, while a relaxed and open posture suggests calmness. 3. Vocalizations: While vocalizations are a form of verbal communication, they also play a role in nonverbal communication among squirrels. Different types of calls, such as alarm calls or mating calls, can convey specific messages to other squirrels in the vicinity. 4. Chasing behavior: Squirrels engage in chasing behaviors as a form of nonverbal communication related to social interactions. For example, when two squirrels engage in playful chasing, it can be a way to establish social hierarchy or strengthen bonds within a group. 5. Scent marking: Squirrels use scent marking to communicate information about their territories, reproductive status, or individual identity. They may rub their scent glands on objects or surfaces to leave behind chemical signals that other squirrels can detect. 6. Visual cues: Squirrels rely on visual signals to communicate with each other, such as making direct eye contact to establish dominance or avoiding eye contact to signal submission. They also use visual displays, such as tail postures or body movements, to convey messages during social interactions. Overall, nonverbal communication plays a crucial role in squirrel behavior and interactions, helping them navigate their social dynamics, avoid conflicts, and convey important information within their communities.
And a lot of people blame the 2016 election and the Internet echo chambers. The irony? A huge chunk of the echo chamber comes from bots. Not real people. A set of instructions carried out by a computer. Long ago I set up my itty bitty Youtube to hold all comments for review. It cut back significantly on the trolls because they lost their instant gratification from the bots agreeing with their sentiments.
@JeniRizio 7 languages! Amazing! 👏👏👏
@JeniRizio it is tough and I am lousy at asking for anything but on certain matters I know it’s important and if you don’t try you don’t know. Like you, We’ve put in the work. Circulating it is tough because well most people just don’t know much about issues native face which is why I speak up.
Good luck with your music! I’ll check it out.
As for the language. It’s Siouan. There are different dialects.. Lakota, Dakota, Nakota I’d recommend following his page as there are many fluent speakers
@JeniRizio this guy vented my YouTube feed some time ago, and I was quickly skeptical. He claims to learn languages in 30 days and then hems and haws like crazy when trying to speak them. He gets maybe 500-1,000 words (mostly food related) and perhaps only a few dozen phrases, then bullshits his way along.
I blocked that channel with swiftness.
Nice. US bans non compete clauses today

Since I am a language lover and speaker of seven of them, this Youtuber really has put a bad taste in my mouth. While I love that he brought attention to many of the world's languages, including my favourite, the spoiled millionaire has deeply disappointed me by blaming those same language speakers for his departure, which he gladly announced.
Of all things that he loves, he seems to love money most, much more than the languages he had claimed to love.
