(Mensah said, “People, please. I’m scheduled to mediate arguments between teenagers on my next commcall home and I need all my patience for that.”)

The rumours are true… Aquarium is almost ready to launch! And at the end of the month we’ll be giving away a copy, as well as chance to have your character drawn by @golightlyfinch.bsky.social ! Find out what's included in the book in the next few posts 🐟

Whenever I see a pic of Noah Wyle in the Pitt all I can think of is this:

UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too! *Your* right to anonymous web browsing is at risk! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/754408

There are many reasons to help people. One that I think gets overlooked sometimes is: helping others often helps you. So if you feel like shit, don’t flagellate yourself in the dark. Leave your head a little. Extend some kindness. You can’t do everything, but you can do some things.

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

Gurathin said, “I can’t tell if that’s you being passive aggressive or you being willfully obtuse.” I would be more pissed off about him saying that except a) he was right about the passive aggressive thing

‘SINNERS’ has broken history as the MOST-NOMINATED FILM OF ALL TIME at the Oscars with 16 nominations See the full nominees list: bit.ly/OscarNoms26

Genuinely one of my favourite things I've ever read, I reread it regularly

If you’d like to read SWEET ABILENE digitally, it’s here: bigbigtruck.itch.io/sweetabilene If you’d like to read it in print, I have about 25 copies left: tjandamal.bigcartel.com/product/swee... Of the porn comics I’ve made it’s prob the one I’m proudest of. It’s fun and goofy and hot.

A Sweet Abilene page (of many) I like

*has sex with you in a way that both advances the plot and reinforces the themes of your narrative arc*

the absolute delight of all my hockey mutuals arising from the ether because GOALIE FIGHT

i once read "the rights you think criminals should have are the rights you think everyone should have because the state can criminalize anyone" and it changed how i think about everything

bat and moon 🦇🌙

museums are cool because the people who work there are like look at this neat thing and you're like wow that is neat and you just do it over and over again until it is time to go

GOALIE FIGHT!!!!

Noodle One on Bangor high street (that literally doesn't exist anymore because of a has explosion, oops) used to eat there for ~special occasions~ while at uni, and was the first time I ever bought a starter for a meal

thinking about that post that says “answering DMs requires a spell slot while posting is a cantrip you can use repeatedly”

A sudden 5 percent dip in performance reliability made my knees go shaky and I leaned on the cabin hatch. For twelve seconds it seemed like a good idea to slide all the way down to the deck and just stay there.

restarted my island for the Switch 2 update #JayPlaysACNH

Mensah, who was very angry but pretending not to be, gave me two boxes of intel drones, the tiny ones. (Indah had objected and Mensah had told her that it was a medical issue, that I needed them to fully interact with my environment and communicate.)

The Vagina Museum exists because of voluntary donations. We literally couldn't do it without you. Until the end of the month, donations made to our fundraising campaign to support our running costs are doubled by a kind charitable foundation. www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2

sitting in the doctor's waiting room waiting for my appointment, aware that the doctor is going to ask if I have any chest pain and having to be like, well yes I also feel like I'm going to die but I think that's probably anxiety

The problem is that the child porn website is owned by the richest man in the world, who no one wants to pick a fight with, and even less so now that he's aligned with the president of the U.S., himself a maniacal sex criminal. Nothing gets fixed without breaking the political power of big money

Hey we heard you have executive dysfunction so we created a giant bureaucratic maze and we're gonna put your executive dysfunction meds at the end of it. maybe.

I put Humans need to take rest periods on the general action list.

found a lump in my breast and really don't want to be the fourth concurrent cancer diagnosis in my immediate family

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

re: last repost some of the best\my favourite examples of this were hockey rpf and I'm sad I can't enjoy them anymore

Today's aesthetic: fic that spends several thousand words establishing Kink World, the world structured entirely around the author's excruciatingly specific kink, does one sex scene in like chapter two, then spends the next thirty chapters interrogating the sociopolitical implications of Kink World.

Her expression turned even more grim. “Corporate slave labor camps.” I said, “Yes, but if we call them that, Marketing and Branding gets angry and we get a power surge through our brains that fries little pieces of our neural tissue.” Indah winced.

Amena went to the other end of the sink counter and boosted herself up to sit on it. She curled her legs up, watching me worriedly.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

i watched lord of the rings for the first time and now they are all my friends

“In the woods where snow is thick, bars of sunlight lay like pale fire.” (Catherine Mansfield) 🎨 Eyvind Earle #wintersky

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

it's funny when watching US movies or tv shows i used to be like "man, they sure do use food poisoning as a plot device *a lot* in america..." then i learned their food poisoning statistics and it blew my mind. that's just how they live! people DIE of food poisoning regularly in the US. it's MAD.

once again recommending Ebony Elizabeth Thomas's "The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination from Harry Potter to the Hunger Games" if you want insight into how fans uphold and even enforce this marginalization (and it has a chapter focused on Amandla's Rue) nyupress.org/978147980065...

FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR TRAIN

Happy New Year, folks 🖤
