Hervorragender Thread. Absolute Leseempfehlung, vielen Dank für diese tolle Arbeit und Hut ab!

Petition to call it SAM-AFTRA for the duration of his presidency!

Well worth your time. Great, great video. Thank you, Lindsay Ellis. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwpa...

So funny, I never understood why people said his delivery was "wooden". Turns out his German dubbing actor was fantastic!! German Keanu would have gotten Oscars! When I saw "Dracula" in the original years later, I kinda got it, but weirdly it made me love him even more!

What a amazing kitty palace! Although the cat is probably chilling in an old cardboard box just outside the frame (if ours is anything to go by...)

RIP Tom Lehrer! m.youtube.com/watch?v=frAE...

Oh shit. What a life, what a bloke. Rest in whatever the fuck you want, Ozzy, and thank you for the music.

My Etsy shop's now open for a v. limited print run of half calendars of my tiny posy & botanical photos. I design my photos using recent neuroscientific research so that looking at them alleviates stress & lift mood. Each calendar=6 very high quality frameable prints: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/silv...

If trans women really were "just men in costume", there'd be a gazillion loos for them by now, don't you think? Spend that money on more and better facilities for disabled people and let ALL women pee in peace in the toilets of their choosing. This ruling is so harmful. Reverse it!

First thing that comes to mind: m.youtube.com/watch?v=F9nG...

One of my all-time favourite movies. I love it so, so much. I own the DVD, will never get rid of that! Makes me happy to see it mentioned!

Should not be the main or only reason, I agree absolutely! But is is still important to talk about that -- not necessarily because of the detrimental effect on cis women per se, but to clearly show how ridiculous, unfounded and harmful transphobia is for ALL women, 1/2

Good morning. Something to brighten everyone's day. My cousin's dog just had puppies. #dog #puppy #cute #animal

"mostly harmless".

Wundervoll.

Saw lots of lazy dunking on this guy, which fair, because he's obviously racist and dumb. But also this exists! It's called Star Trek. It's very popular!

Well... that's pretty much spot on. Chapeau. I can't say if their proposed solution is the only way to go, but it definitely is a good way to live on a private level, so maybe yes. Anyway, to sum it up:

Aus aktuellem Anlass: Ausgerechnet dem Verein "Buntes Meißen e.v." die Fördergelder zu streichen ist wirklich bodenlos. Und auf sehr dumme Art irgendwie ironisch. Seid ihr denn gar nicht stolz auf euer kulturelles Erbe, Meißener #cdu und #noafd??

Rest well. And thanks for this. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RSQU...

Using AI to ghiblify the world is actually peak irony.

Good morning! Colourful object of the day is this blue glass sculpture on display in the Grassi Museum of Applied Arts in Leipzig. It's from 1910, a testament to the endurance of fragile beauty. #colour #arts #glass #sculpture #grassimuseum

It would be so helpful if you could retweet my May botanical illustration & mental health w’shop in my previous post if you have a moment. I've been unable to work since December due to a breakdown (not proud of this) & I'm trying to get back on my feet so if you could RT it would help enormously 🌿

Good morning! Colourful object of the day is the smug joy I felt when I discovered that fancy Suhrkamp Verlag shares my library esthetics. This is exactly how I sort my bookshelves according to colour (more variation but same principle). Take that, naysayers! Pffffrttt! #colour #books #style #joy

Kinda unrelated, but one night at a party I heard a song I know from an obscure 80s compilation my parents owned when I was a kid. And then they followed it with the next song on that album. Musically, best night of my life! It was "Maniac" followed by "I'm Still Standing". I wish you the same luck!

Although I loved Tan in We Are, this is easy for me, as Max is one of my all-time-favourite BL characters and BMF one of my absolute favourite BLs. Max was such an amazing, realistic, well-developed character he will never be forgotten. Watch "Be My Favourite", everyone, it is a GEM!

That seems very plausible, actually.

Good morning! Colourful object of the day are these lovely crocus. Spring is finally here! #colour #flowers #spring #joy

Clueless rich people... immer unterhaltsam. Saving Grace ist für mich persönlich hier nur, dass die Herzogin ja nun nicht in goldene Windeln geschissen hat, sondern aus einfachen Verhältnissen stammt. Aber dass es kein Märchen über Aschenputtels Leben im Palast gibt, hat sicher Gründe. I'll pass.

Good morning! Colourful object of the day is this wind-up monkey juggling plates. He's very very old, probably Soviet era and - astonishing, really! - not creepy at all! Perfect attic find! Still juggling his little plates like a pro. I love him. #colour #toy #vintage #joy #rarefind #treasure

Good morning! Colourful object of the day is my finished Granny Cardigan! Made of the yarn set I got for Christmas - the definition of affordable. Turned out quite pretty, though! #color #crochet #crochetersofbluesky #yarn #craft #rainbow #joy

Danke, Anja. Schnüff.

Good morning! Colourful object of the day is my newly finished rainbow granny-go-round cardigan! Needs buttons and ends need weaving in, but can you see the vision? Springtime, here I come! #colour #color #crochet #craft #yarnart #joy

Oh God I Want To Go There!!

Good evening! Colourful object of the day are today's election result charts in my hometown. How I wish it represented all of Germany... #btw25

Good morning! It's snowing here, so colourful picture of the day is my cat lounging on my bed. Get snuggling! #colour #cat #crochet #joy

Good morning! Colourful object of the day is this rainbow blanket i'm crocheting. Soft, fuzzy, light as a feather and as vibrant as summer. Against the gray!! #crochet #crafting #rainbow #colour #joy

RIP! I read his novels when I was much too young and thanks to him the wonderful word "spelunking" is still an integral part of my vocabulary - albeit (mostly) not in the context he used it. Thanks for your art, Mr. Robbins!

Three of my favorite brainscramblebooks in one post! New record! I hid House of Leaves after reading it, maybe it's time to go spelunking...

Because I cried and because we all need to hear this again and again and because why the fuck is this still so relevant? #charliechaplin #thegreatdictator #speech #hope youtu.be/ibVpDhW6kDQ?...

Was genau soll daran problematisch sein,(außer der Tatsache, dass Depressionen nicht Neurodivergenz sind, wie der Titel andeutet, sondern für ND-Personen häufig komorbid vorliegen und zu ineffektiver Behandlung führen können, wenn unerkannte Neurodivergenz vorliegt?). 1/6

Words to live by.

"Sehr emorionalisiert", "emotionalisierte Entscheidung", "emotionalisiert". Das mal über einen Politiker zu hören, hatte ich nicht auf der Bingokarte. Aber erstmal UFF!!!!!!... www.youtube.com/watch?v=98lB...
