it looks like this ⁚⟩ (describing the emoticon's visual appearance: it's meant to be a very wide smiling mouth and then widely-spaced eye dots near the ends of the smile.) it's how the pokémon leavanny's face looks except the eye dots should be even further apart.
i should really remember to use my compose key binding for the leavanny smile emoticon more
legal quirks of gender
in buenos aires province, if there's a jury trial with at least one nonbinary person on the jury the law arguably requires there to be an even number of them. (the law requires there to be equal numbers of men and women in the jury and there are 12 jurors)

it’s weird how so many pokémon are assigned a metal. and especially weird that the two options are iron and copper, considering it’s called Steel type
repo! the genetic opera
was a pretty fun movie. kinda amateurish-feeling in some ways (they are not good at lyrics) but aesthetically great.
(i watched it with my betrothed)
unfortunate news, disease
alas, there's an unusually large amount of dengue in argentina currently

last night in Blue Rose the Narrator addressed my problem of "my character is a knight but she never gets to fight mounted and now she's stranded hundreds of miles from her horse" by having a sentient giant snake with a human face volunteer to let me ride her.
downside: i haven't really gotten to know Ksenia (the naga) yet but if she's much like her mother she's kinda evil and might try to eat us if she gets bored.
upside: maybe i can convince her to be a better person? i would definitely be the only knight of the blue rose to have a naga mount/companion.
@xsssm@selfy.army alas. here i am more used to the dems only doing mediocre to bad things and lamenting how impossible it is to do good things. tho last year they a bill that was talked up as protecting gay marriage federally but actually 1. barely did anything for that 2. will very obviously readily be thrown out by the courts 3. created new "religious freedom" rights to discriminate against gay relationships 4. was explicitly written to be severable so when #2 happens #3 stays :/
they were so proud of themselves for that one
@xsssm@selfy.army also into the hell of politicians proposing superficially good-sounding but ultimately toothless bills to make themselves look good at minimal political cost or difficulty
happy birthday to Yuki Yuna!
world politics and media
at some point i should actually figure out what página12's editorial stance is regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine.
it is somewhat hard to tell from their coverage that i have read, since it has mostly taken the form of "[official] [of country] said [claim]", possibly juxtaposed with "[official] [of other country] said [conflicting claim]", without any explicit indication of whether they credit either claim.
tho i did notice them specifying that Crimea is a Ukrainian peninsula («en el norte de la península ucraniana de Crimea, anexionada por Rusia en 2014.») in one thing i read today.
re: poképosting
@aescling unfort it probably will not in fact get to evolve (barring eventual dex completion concerns). i’m down to one non-bug slot (currently zigzagoon for pickup and eventually head butting trees) and will catch a ledyba in the morning.

p.s. @aescling in a fangame i am playing i'm doing a bug-catcher run but currently i only have spinarak for bugs so i have an espurr in my party and i named them after you (they unfortunately will not have yr fave color scheme if they ever evolve tho)
@aescling i don't actually know what you meant by "here"
@aescling it is unethical to tf vegans into obligate carnivores
@aescling seemed apurrpriate
