Teenager on train: I'm not a feminist. Mum: Do you want to own things and decide who you sleep with? Teen: Yeah. Mum: You're a feminist.

Connie Schultz once wrote about how someone wrote her an email about how he saw her going into Sherrod Brown's hotel room, and that he was going to write about how she was a reporter sleeping with a senator. She told him to go right ahead, but maybe also mention that she's married to the senator.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1709

Sometimes stepping through a wardrobe into another world is fun. And sometimes you end up in an office building where everyone eats tiny cookie versions of you for lunch. That's all they eat. And wherever you go, the people call you Big Cookie and they unhinge their jaws and they can run pretty fast

Oh that's just Rodan, it's fine

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

hear ye hear ye, old awards season declared crappy by all! chooseth ye bitter karella for new awards this season!!!!!

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

“We have a secret plan to fight inflation”

man good luck hosting a world cup or an olympics, let alone something like a sxsw

Zinaida Serebryakova (1884-1967), “At the Dressing-Table. Self-Portrait” (1909), oil on canvas, 65 x 75 cm.

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them. What the fuck are we?

He has 100 ways to kill... AND THEY ALL OCCUR WITH A BOUNCY LITTLE MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT AND AT ABOUT TWICE NORMAL SPEED! Benny Hill IS John Wick!

baby don't worry it's not a worm

If the ex who slept etc. starts yelling at your shitty neighbor to step letting his feral dog roam the neighborhood biting people, you can appreciate the assistance without welcoming them into your house. The enemy of my enemy may be strategically useful, but that doesn't make them my friend.

No, the ex who slept with your sister and stole your TV isn't going to change if you let him in. He's just going to give you chlamydia.

Hard not to laugh a little at the staffers debating the morality of wanting to get involved to stop a genocide in an African nation, knowing that they almost certainly wouldn't be doing the same today about the current one. Maybe Josh & CJ might, actually. Maybe. #TheWestWing

Someone pay me to say transphobic things, I'll take the money and tell everyone "They paid me money to say x y and z, so here's me saying x, y and z, which I don't believe in but I've said it now, so they can get to fuck."

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they think "Americans" did it, because pop culture overwhelmingly portrays slavery as a thing that the USA was built on, conveniently ignoring that it was the British Empire (& others) actually doing it long before the States were a twinkle in Washington's eye.

holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Hey @sennydreadful.bsky.social !

As always, today is a good day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, maybe consider signing up for a Patreon. Buy a book, a game, a painting. Commission a new piece. Tell a creator what they mean to you. Signal boost their work.

I'm missing Goodreads. Storygraph just isn't the same.

this is so true

Yet more Xena x Callisto from my patreon.com/laurenknight i may be obsessed 🫣

"if you build something new, you purchase the components --" i cannot help but see Open AI's insistence that they have a right to use all "content" as connected to the online environment of the past 20 years that has made photos, video, music, and writing feel "free" and therefore valueless.

Amazing, no notes, I do not desire to learn anything else about this story, for it would only detract from the perfection on this headline.

Y'all need to have the same kind of smoke for AI Music as you have for AI Art. Okay? Music is an extremely important part of artistic human expression, and we must not allow it to rot away because 'it sounds just like the real thing' or whatever. Musicians are going through it too. Fuck AI.

We never acknowledge how masterfully white supremacist billionaires managed to destroy social media as an organizer tool and completely atomized us. Twitter & tiktok had to be sold. Meta already belonged to them and this app here is a poor man's Twitter but coded to prevent educating and organizing

Uh this is enormous

As a trans-owned bookstore, we're tired, y'all. I wish I had something poignant to say for Trans Awareness Week in the face of all these attacks, but I don't. I feel so much grief & anger. To my trans siblings, I love y'all. Anyway, read trans books, celebrate trans life, & protect one another.

I'm not sure that's the most newsworthy takeaway from the emails, guys

Watching old episodes of Great British Bake Off: Prue: We eat with our eyes Me: no we fucking don't @samkurd.bsky.social: *stuffing crisps into his eyes* ah god my eyes! The salt!

Today is not the day to argue "oh so you want Reform to win then" as an argument for Labour's indefensible and inhumane anti-asylum policies. At least be honest and own that you're defending racist policies promoted with genuinely far right talking points. Don't try and pretend this is "progressive"

With alt text.

Everyone’s sexiness would definitely increase dramatically if we all dressed like pirates all of the time

Just fuck off then. No need to tell us about it. Self-important twat.

They should at least be legally required to wear the logos on their suits.

Late Night Genies/Inking

Tommy Robinson openly celebrating Labour's new asylum seekers policy should tell everyone exactly how far right Labour are now. Labour, Reform and Tories are all the same. Right wing parties only interested in making money for their donors. Do not vote Labour.
