It is kind of a tell when they're like "we're trying to reduce your access to SSRIs and family-planning medications and also food and the vote"

watching it alongside SEVERANCE (which i also started) is fun - all these texts wondering how to escape the hostile gnostic worlds we’re trapped in wonder what occasioned that grok what do u think occasioned that

"Magic, madam, is like wine and, if you are not used to it, it will make you drunk.” - from The Ladies of Grace Adieu by Susanna Clarke

Is this a Cluedo situation or a F*ck Marry Kill game? 🤔

We're in a strange place in history when the Pope is one of the leading advocates for science and China projects the image of a country of stability and trustworthiness.

I arrived home late last night after a long journey, to be met by this beautiful beast on my doorstep.

The sweetshop where my nan (far right) worked in Anfield, Liverpool in the 60s looks like it must have been a great place to hang out. There's an interesting Beatles-related story connected with this, which I have included in the alt text.

Some of you know I have a big thing about Terminator 2: "no fate but what we make." So here's the commando madonna from that epic.

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

Adults "struggle to think of their children as people, rather than as extensions of their parents." Why instilling obedience can't be the only job of children's books. (and this mindset is probably why the US is the only nation that won't ratify the UN convention on the Rights of the Child)

I don’t think we need a product on the market that does this.

Some useful public speaking tips from Freud here.

@peter.petermorwood.com glanced at this image once, smiled, and merely said, walking away to get some tea: "That's no castle. Like its owner, it's indefensible."

As Alex points out further down thread: my fellow webcomic creators, please apply to vote in the Eisners!! You're a part of the comics industry, too. Yes, you, my publishing friend!! Without you, the Eisner awards will never reflect the full breadth and diversity of comics.

Seagull facts: The record for the largest number of sandwiches stolen by a seagull in one day is 74. The Chinese word for seagull translates as "the beaked horse who stares". The robust digestive system of seagulls allows them to eat many things weaker birds cannot, including multisockets & kettles.

One must fully understand that the Virginia Supreme Court ruling is not simply overruling the voters based on a technicality--it is overruling the voters on a technicality THAT THEY LITERALLY JUST INVENTED FOR THIS PURPOSE AND EXISTS NOWHERE ELSE IN VIRGINIA OR FEDERAL LAW

IT ARRIVED!! FINALLY!! Now I'm going to unbox it, aka eat it with my brain 🦖

A May Day walk in summer temperatures: The hawthorns and cherry trees are in bloom, we almost met a pheasant (it dodged us but left a tail feather), and the trolls lurking in the ditch wouldn't come up for a conversation.

Walpurgis eve April 30th is like condensed Spring break here. And with warm weather arriving it was an all day, all night party, from champagne breakfast to river race to May fire and singing.

So, they want to build a facility for storing people cold after death, in the hope of resurrecting them in the future? Wow, I would not have guessed that the real zombie apocalypse would be undead billionaire CEO:s stumbling around with ice in their eyebrows! 🥶

This is why your local voice and your local vote matters: today more than ever.

but like the intersection of “political violence as spectacle” + “delusional belief that becoming famous will solve all your problems” is such a defining American phenomenon that in hindsight it seems inevitable that someone like Sondheim’s murder clowns would eventually become president himself

Tree Of The Week.

Happy Saint Mark's Eve to all who celebrate bookish dates and loves The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater! Please remember to dress warmly if you'll be sitting in a graveyard tonight to watch for the spirits of those about to die!

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

IT HAS ARRIVED!!! CHERRY BABY by Rainbow Rowell 😍

I hate when fantasy films I made a long time ago begin to come true in real life.

Figuring out how to load a new dishwasher is a little like navigating the start of a new relationship. "Wow this thing is new and shiny! How does all my old stuff fit in here without falling over and making a mess?"

Yarn bombing is where knitted or crocheted yarn—rather than paint—adorns public objects like poles, and benches. Also known as "guerrilla knitting,", it is a street art originally started by women #Womensart

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

We may not have English bluebells but our woods are still blue, with anemone hepatica! #springflowers

Britain is home to almost half of the world’s bluebells, found in ancient or semi-natural woodlands, flowering in April and May. 'Bluebell woods' by contemporary UK painter Susan Entwistle #WomensArt

But there is just so much of it, and I'm tired. Because I write about this, I get told a lot of stuff in private, so I carry that too. I'm so tired of rapists. I'm so tired of rape culture. I'm so tired of the dehumanization of girls and women.

I am so tired of being deluged with the sordid details of sexual crimes. It feels nonstop since 2014. Yes absolutely those stories should be told. I get that this is how justice begins: with victims having voices, stories being heard, and so forth; I've been supporting that forever.

I have a friend who is planning to wed an American and move to the US this summer. Maybe I should dissuade her? 😶

Spring is really trying to spring people, give a cheer and root for it more, please!

You’re already paying for TSA. Congress just decided to spend your money on other things. And now they won’t pass a bill to pay the agents either.

Speaker Johnson called the Senate deal “a joke” and said House Republicans will push their own version instead. The Senate has already left town for a two-week recess. Meanwhile, nearly 500 TSA officers have quit. Call-out rates are topping 40% at some airports. Lines are chaos.

House Republicans just rejected the Senate’s bipartisan DHS funding bill the one that would have ended the partial government shutdown and finally paid TSA agents who’ve been working without paychecks for over 40 days.

Interesting thread about how our ability to sit with shame can help us figure out important things about ourselves, which helps us build a functioning society.
