Bar the poor poster who experiences cognitive dissonance when looking at animals in clothes
Was that me, NitroNine? I was actually relishing the cognitive dissonance of all those little politicised furries😄
PS loved the 'Stabat Otter'!

My "Aston scraped my data..." t arrived today and I wore it on a hot date with my husband who loves it 😆

Thanks gerbils!

@GrimbutGerbil must be home from her day of uni visiting!!

There's a tea towel...

Oh, such artistry @Boiledbeetle - I was particularly taken with the otters that looked almost like religious art: Stabat Otter? 🤔

We are sacred creatures <preens>

The t shirt making gerbils have just had their staff ID photos taken

😁

So, they are all Mice that identify as Gerbils?

Mice, hamsters, gerbils, rats, otters, dinosaurs, vipers, support wrens.. There is no barrier to being an authentic gerbil these days. There is more to being a gerbil than just being a cis gerbil!!

I see, cis Gerbils are agents of the hetero-normative patriarchy.

Well, as you listed Viper in your examples of trans Gerbils, I guess that means that I am a true and honest, stunning and brave Gerbil! 🐍

I rest my case!

That’s an uncanny resemblance, @Boiledbeetle

The viper was taking the photos!

@MarieDeGournay that’s ok then (I was falling asleep a bit while I was reading so apologies for jumbling things!)
I’m now imagining little gerbil legionaries (look away, @SidewaysOtter, look away!!!)

stabbing the poor Jesus-y otter while Mummy!Otter & John the Otterpostle loiter. In a religious/saintly way.

I'm picturing you as bottom right!

Valid, valit and viailid.

I shall never want for anything ever again!

PS. Why do some of the otters have no hind legs? I know, I know... all otters are valit, no matter how many legs they have. I'll be quiet now, well maybe the odd whisper-hiss. 🐍

AI has its limits, so no stabbing!! And I have my limits so no Jesus!

It's like looking in a mirror!

And so to bed.. just need to choose a book to read to the stuffed toys, and is everyone sitting comfortably... Excellent.

Night night.

Pfft! Can't sleep, the stuffed animals are taking up too much room so I've come back downstairs for a wee tipple and some space from the gerbils to read my book in peace

And you join us for the final of Miss Gerbil 2024...

I've got a tenner on the dinosaur!

I did not bribe the organisers! No siree! I'd never fiddle the results to ensure the most stunning and brave of gerbils won.

Griingematt on tour tiday.

I'm hoff to han hevent.

Revved up and raring to go.

Oh no! I put my bet on the yellow chick!

(Tears up betting slip).

Hey @Boiledbeetle were you and Bill Nighy separated at birth? Unless....you're not actually....nah, that would be ridiculous...🤔

Also, Canada's worse than I thought.

"There will be no decanting of marmite this side of security" 😂!

No idea why you think I might be Bill! You would never find me with a very large jar of Marmite, or Yorkshire tea bags! And as for special jars of marmite... as if! 🤥

(Now it's sunny I can see my marmite shelf is in dire need of dusting! 😳🤬)
