I’m gonna think about this post every day for the next three years.

Posting this in spite of everything

#drawtober experiments

I’m sure there is some very meta statement here about not trying to #drawtober one’s coffee before drinking one’s coffee.

Me: *opens Bluesky* Me: *skims* Me: “… wait what in the name of fuck is a medbed?”

They've lost the 9yos

The fox needs access to the hen coop ASAP, to prevent disaster

This is my favorite art history story, hands down. Malicious Compliance Sexy Satan Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

Reminder to my fellow bisexuals: do not do crimes today. You are briefly visible. Wait til tomorrow when you can no longer be perceived.

I know this is a radical position that will probably enrage people But hear me out: What if this thing we call autism is just the way some peoples’ brains work Not an illness. Not a brain injury. Not a defect. Some. Peoples’. Brains. Are. Different. And they don’t need to be fixed

Me when my wife has to listen to anything I say

i found the cure for autism its called treating children like individual sapient human beings

This one followed every child born in Denmark from 1999-2010, with more than 650,000 children. No association between MMR vaccine and autism was observed.

Idea: TV show that's like Great British Sewing Bee, but they only make hats. Name: Who Wants to be a Milliner?

Every now and then I will get distracted when trying to open up AirNav Radar to see what helicopter or small plane is going over so fast or low, and will open Merlin Bird ID instead. This amuses me more than it probably should.

It's time to do that thing you've been wanting to do

Well, I wouldn't expect an economist to understand how to write fantasy, unless he's from the Chicago school.

In case it wasn’t already obvious, Our Flag wouldn’t exist without Butch Cassidy, The Princess Bride, or Midnight Cowboy. 2 out of 3 of these were written by William Goldman (who also wrote an unproduced screenplay about Stede and Blackbeard for Roger Moore and Sean Connery to star).

Do any other neurodivergent folk quietly amuse themselves by swapping prefixes to create words with slightly different meanings? This question brought to you by my brain deciding it likes “discoordinated” better than “uncoordinated” 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️😂

Motto In the dark times, will there also be singing? Yes, there will be singing. About the dark times. Bertolt Brecht

Place names like this are why I still have trouble believing England is a real place even though I live here.

Suppose you tried to solve math problems by rolling dice to get the answer Sometimes, the dice will give the correct answer. Other times, not. If you were to insist that the wrong answers were the *dice* malfunctioning, people would rightly mock the shit out of you.

The Holocaust denier who has spent the last four years waging social violence against trans people and set up a BILLION POUND fund to wage lawfare against innocent people is now quoting Mein Kampf. But sure, tell me I need to widen my tent for people who disagree with me.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔 on.ft.com/3K05vhS

To spell some shit out unambiguously: fascism requires domestic abuse to propagate itself. Demands it. There is no way to humanely teach your children that might makes right. There is no way to gently love a spouse you think is your genetic intellectual inferior. These are inextricably linked.

I hope this ishmael finds you whale

Literally just saw a post about this type of scam and zing, here’s one in my inbox! Perpetrator’s handle is skyanne00.

Thoroughly enjoying “The Lighthouse at the Edge of the World” by @jrdawson.bsky.social, audiobook narrated by @marawilson.bsky.social and @lindseydorcus.bsky.social. Love finding a truly fresh-idea-feeling urban fantasy.

🚨 BREAKING | 1,339 people have now been arrested on "terrorism" charges in 2025, with almost all of them busted for holding signs at pro-Palestine protests. This is more than any year on record, by far. (Source: Home Office)

I saw a rare moth in my living room that was absolutely not meant to be indoors, was meant to live in oak trees, and of course it made my brain go on a WILD JOURNEY about what if we are all rare moths, living in the wrong place, and we have no way to know what we need is an open door & to go through

Eventually you have to accept that no matter how many different notebooks you buy, they won’t make you a better writer. For that, you need to spend a lot of money on the right pen.

If one were going to try to distill the lessons of #OFMD (found family, finding your own way of doing things and working together as a team despite differences) for wee folk...well, you might end up with something like this. So thrilled to be on this voyage. 🏴‍☠️💜

The entire global economy is currently so over-leveraged on "AI" that if we don't find a credible use case for it, and fast, we're likely to tumble into an economic meltdown of 2008 proportions, so please, your corporate overlords beg you, use "AI" to write that fucking email

@scattermoon.bsky.social this just came up in my Facebook memories… my screenshot of your tweet and the sketch @vagariesofmine.bsky.social made in response 😂

Its more of a saxophone solo than a question really

i know a bunch of guys that think antiquing will make them gay, but at worst it'll make them buy curios

Wanna do something weird? Too late, I already did

"Dickfuck no it's not" but in the "How in the absolute hell is it already September" kind of way

Maybe my favorite @david-jenkins.bsky.social fanart of all time

For UK folk who will be affected, on Saturday 7th September at 3pm, there is going to be a test of the Emergency Alert system. Even if the phone is on silent, it will go off. If you don't want to be jump-scared by it, it looks like the only option is switching the phone off.

Can't even build death star anymore, because of ewok
