Hey, I have a question to anyone who should like to help. I’m using the Thunder App and this post’s link goes to a broken image page. Any ideas why that would be?
No, a few other posts pictures around the same time frame broke too - I’m assuming something happened on the back end with Lemmy. Here’s the picture again though!
It’s a reference to Baba Yaga! She’s kind of an evil witch, eats children and all that. Lives in a house standing on chicken legs in the woods.
From Wikipedia:
In Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga is a supernatural being who appears as a deformed and/or ferocious-looking woman. In the folklore record, Baba Yaga usually flies around in a mortar, wields a pestle, and dwells deep in the forest in a hut usually described as standing on chicken legs.
She’s a staple in old Eastern European folklore, obviously, but she’s also an antagonist in the Hellboy and Fables comics as well as one of the DLCs for one of the newer Tomb Raiders.
Super cool, and some if the old folklore is just wild. There’s a story about how she would break into a man’s house in the middle of the night (on multiple consecutive nights) to count his spoons, and when he tried to stop her, she kidnapped him and then ate him later (or, IIRC, turned him into an inanimate object depending on the version)
All I want is for it always to be a perfect temperature where I can flounce around in black skirts and floppy hats without either overheating or having everything blown away or rained on. Is that so much to ask?
It’s almost as if life is different for everyone. I tried to do exactly what the adults told me, except I grew up poor with learning disabilities and got booted out of the house at 18, therefore I do not get to have the “good life”?
Now I’m 38 with 2 kids and way too much student debt just to be able to even get the slightest leg up and be able to start a career. I will never own a home and I will not retire, even though I did everything the boomers set out for me.
Screw your pity, no one wants it. Society is against them and it is against you too, you’re just too blinded by your “good life” to see it so you’ll contribute to making it worse instead.
