Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

could really do with a beast of bolsover right about now

absolute moral cowardice breathtakingly awful

What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination?

howl looking more and more apposite on the daily

It's brave to try.

if there it one thing that drives me nutso in the modern world it’s permitting terrible people to set the frame and then taking the opposition argument within that frame especially when said frame is hot buttered bullshit many many such cases tho seriously quit it

when i was a teen, a teacher asked me what my plans for life were & i said i was going to just sort of float through having Interesting Experiences &being Good when possible & he pulled a face like a smacked arse

GREAT idea come to canada if you can

today‘s energy: doing keyhole surgery with a broken camera

sometimes i’d call home to see how they were doing & find only my father there, with my mother away for a day or two with work at these times he would say he was being ‘a swinging bachelor’ which evolved to him saying he was ‘batching it’ meaning he had to feed himself/not have the house fall down

Johannes Gutenberg invented the thermal wind equation

great now please recognise Palestinians and stop financing/selling arms to the country that is killing them

just a perfect song youtu.be/frWZSAZWs1g?...

WH Auden writing “we must love one another or die” about the beginning of World War II and the. changing the line to “we must love one another and die” after the war.

tutto passa baby

perfect for birthdays anniversaries and anyone who labours under the duress of time itself (perfect for me is what i am saying)

anyway my friend who knows i have been quite ill has left flowers for me on my porch, no announcement, or to-do, and not the answer to any prayer of mine but an entirely lovely thing that has cheered me to no end and made me want even more to recover (as if that were in my power! ha!)

it’s always struck me as a kind of arrogance, the sincere belief that one’s own prayers have been answered, yours specifically, especially when aimed towards some tiny personal outcome: please god this exam etc. this of course is the start of a thread that i do not want to pull at

leonard cohen i will always love you ‘they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem’

please read my writing, i knit them myself from toadstools and other forest detritus you see

something new, something blue dorionniprock.wordpress.com/2025/09/19/a...

whenever i submit to any scan which privileges me with a vision of the inside of my body, i am a bit overcome by a kind of tenderness, that we are so very mortal, the twinned oneness of us, this body and i, and that this, that we, will end

lately i’ve been listening to old skool stuff today it was hip hop hooray v fun to sing the eyyyy ooooo parts in a pauline walnuts voice

deleted my last bc frankly it it beaneath my dignity to make fun of th uk minister for business who clearly cannot help how he is in any case let the record show that: 1. usefulness (whatever that means) is not the only or most important metric for doing anything 2. leave students alone

Which Shakespeare character would most enjoy the Blooming Onion and why?

whenever i have a fever i have really lucid and detailed dreams which few sort of portentious, oracular they probs do not mean anything at all, just the last gasp of brain cells cooking in my too-hot skull

who threw their watches off the roof to cast their ballot for Eternity outside of Time, & alarm clocks fell on their heads every day for the next decade,

i love him

the fever is BACK maybe i will just have a fever from now on, like forever why ever not

FACTSHEET FIVE!!!!!! je me souviens

anyway victor klemperer’s diary of the early years of the nazi regime is v instructive, they span 1933-1941 spoiler: he survived, just your library may have it, mine did

definitely until they consolidated power in government as far as i can recall

Did the German Nazis whine this much? Or is the right’s constant whining the one true American Exceptionalism? #JimmyKimmel

What’s happening in Gaza is a genocide.

UPDATE—21 members of Congress now say Israel is committing genocide. Ro Khanna: "I agree with the UN commission's heartbreaking finding that there is a genocide in Gaza. What matters is what we do about it—stop military sales that are being used to kill civilians and recognize a Palestinian state."

The deaths of regime allies command demonstrations of collective mourning and punishment of those who accurately describe the dead. The deaths of regime enemies and those they deem disposable is fodder for little jokes.

for the first time in a week i did not feel as if i were made from glass when i woke up this morning a promising sign

my 6th grade teacher (Mr Joy! a legend!) called the president ‘ronald ray-gun’ and did shooty pew pew fingers when he did, every time
