Remember this, though: Amazon has calculated that poisoning water & making restitution payouts for sickness & even death is CHEAPER than whatever they plan to make on the Data Center. They’re STILL gambling with human lives with impunity.

I’ve a strict 15 for divination at tea-break, for reading cherry blossom patterns across my windscreen. (1/2) #NaPoWriMo #poetry #teabreaklines

The feline nudge the wraithing whine Signals it is coming to sit on your chest just when you thought it was fed and satisfied #teabreaklines #fragments #poetry #NaPoWriMo

Embroidered book covers, fashionable in the 16th and 17th century, the art of embroidering unique covers for books saw a comeback in late 19th-century England, via the Arts and Crafts movement.#womensart #WomensArt

It's #stpatricksday and I present to you a thread on representations of Irishness from around the world, especially those not well-known in Ireland.

"why did you become a writer" because no one gave a shit about my special interests growing up. now i make them everyone else's problem. next question

Inhaling @jesstraynor.bsky.social ‘s New Arcana. And this poem… I have no words. Will return to Magpie (among others) regularly. I used to read tarot in my early 20s and got self conscious about engaging with mystery. This collection feels like an old friend. #amreading

I’ve been thinking about what drives these men to destroy their life’s work (whether we agree with it or not) and all I can see is - at their core was a virulent misogyny, enveloped in toxic patriarchy and a belief that they were untouchable.

‘The hysteria that has developed about abuse of women’ (Chomsky in an email to Epstein).To all the Chomsky defenders, esp those on the left-this sentence, alone, dripping with misogyny & a sexist dismissal of sexual violence against women condemns him.There is no acceptable apology for this #epstein

Not a million miles from the Beauty Industry in any given point in time.

👍✨All good!!✨👍
