Stuff I saw on the internet last week: "They're lesbians, not ghosts"
“Happy” Monday, everybody! If you’re in the US with the ability to vote tomorrow, I beg you to vote for Joe Biden and get Trump the fuck out of the White House.

On last week’s episode of I Hate It But I Love It, Jocelyn and I talked about the horror sci fi movie Event Horizon, specifically how we can’t handle body horror about eyeballs and how the spaceship is partly haunted but is also partly Sam Neill’s girlfriend? It’s worth a listen. Plus, for all of November, we’re doing Listener Request Month (starting with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen this week), so you should subscribe, if you wanna be cool!

I know Halloween was over the weekend, but still, please watch yet another amazing sketch from the brilliant Jon Blair:
TWEETS!
REDDIT!
A sleepy cat sleeping on a dollhouse bed:
Oh good job, telling your niece and nephew they’re not “real” family because they’re adopted:
Something broke in me. I yelled. I screamed. I said some awful things. I said that her family wasn't real and she was an idiot for having an abortion. I told her that the fact that she would have an abortion for them was stupid. I told her that she wasn't even a woman because she couldn't appreciate the joys of pregnancy. I told her that she was going to regret doing this when they turn 18 and forget all about her.
The OP deleted their post, but it’s been saved for posterity in r/BestOfLegalAdvice, and their replies in the original thread are almost as bonkers as the original post itself:
My friends, Partner and I find ourselves in a terrifying limbo. Beloved truly despised her hateful spouse and absolutely intended to divorce her, but nothing was ever finalized because her spouse dragged her feet. Beloved clearly intended to change her will to provide for Partner and me, but never lived to do it. We are now apparently, if legal aid is to be believed, the tenants of Beloved’s would-be ex—which cannot be legal or ethical given her animosity and prejudice towards us—and we must either pay the exorbitant, usurious rent she demands or be evicted from our own house.
Your boyfriend of three years is NOT obligated to pay off your student debt, and IS entitled to do what he wants with his money:
As a gift he decided to pay off all her student loans - around like 65k. His little sister already had a lot of help from his parents and is going into a lucrative career field, she could’ve paid it off easily within a year or two and still had a decent chunk of money left over.
My boyfriend knows I’ve been struggling with student loans for the last couple of years. I graduated with 95k in student loans and I make about 50k a year but between rent, my car, etc.. I still have so much left to pay. I’ve held off on getting a masters because of this debt. My boyfriend makes almost three times as much as me but we’ve always split bills 50/50. I was fine with that but hearing that he paid all this money for his sister while knowing that I’ve been struggling because of my student loans is like a slap in the face, we’ve been together for almost 3 years now.
A very content frog in a very nice summer home:
Here’s a baby bird that looks like a pinecone:
Oooooof, yeah, you’re not gonna see your daughter again:
During her senior year she told me going to prom was very important to her and to please figure something out so she could go. I said I would, but ended up forgetting about it and worked late. I got home to find her crying in her dress. I was tired and didn’t want to get into it, and told her I was sorry, but it wasn’t like she missed anything important. Nancy didn’t talk to me for days after that. When her college letters started coming in, I didn’t think much of it and assumed she’d pick a college close to hone. Well, she ended up getting a partial scholarship to a school several hours away.
I was pretty upset because I still needed help, but she said she gave up two years of doing anything for herself to take care of her brothers and she wasn’t a replacement mom, and I used her. I said she was being dramatic and she couldn’t abandon her family, what were we supposed to do? She said I should be a parent and figure it out. There was a big fight but she left anyhow, I don’t have much contact with her now.
And here’s a video of a very good Onward-inspired costume.
