Today is Trans Day Of Remembrance #TransLivesMatter #TDoR #TDoR2025 #TransDayOfRemembrance #TransAwarenessWeek #SayTheirNames *** Trigger warning for the following thread: Violence against trans people (especially TWOC) * * *

do you think you would be better or worse at surviving outdoors than someone 3000 years ago? For me I think better because I watched a lot of youtube where a guy pretends to live outside

There's a couple of flats near my house (upper floor of a converted petrol station, lower floor now a bridal shop). The intercom has been jammed for months, meaning that whenever you pass by - day or night - there is a low electric buzzing of static white noise. Always gets me

why did nobody tell me that Merriam-Webster was a 300 foot tall spider with a love for words

"And James Bond, who did NOT die"

Reading by candle light feels so... chic

No, he said "Island of strain jars"

impossible to overstate how every single press org in the UK, from the Canary to the Times to whatever else is entirely bare-faced lies and state propaganda. there isn't a single place you can get actual trustworthy stories from. The UK is the most propagandised hermit state in Europe.

Lock the doors. Light the match

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.
