The word ‘racialised’, as in ‘racialised comments’, should be killed with fire and the ashes stomped on. Call it what it is, y’all cowards. Say it with me ‘RACISM’!!

Please god, let Dimples Mayor be as truly lovely and good to the core as he seems to be, and not turn out to be a secret dickhead like some people we won’t mention.

Good morning, my beautiful Fae boy.

A Problem, A Probleming.

This #Osprey is coming right at you for #FlyDay. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Good morning, my beautiful Fae boy.

Look, if LYN and ZLH would kiss in front of all our salads already, instead of this slow burn they are subjecting us all to, i’d be much obliged.

ZLY’s complete inability to show any expression on her face other than ‘blank’ with the odd sprinkle of ‘blank sneer’ truly has come into its own in this drama, it’s exactly what the character called for, and she delivers it in spades.

So. I *may* have fallen down a Temu rabbit hole and ordered a shit ton of yarn. 😬

C-ent production teams planning session. P1: what can we do to improve foot traffic to our dramas? P2: why don’t we get that Minghao lad, he has pull. P1: can’t afford him, too expensive. P3: we can get him billing, have him appear once every few eps, to save on his fee.

We are *so* fucked.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

Ooooooooffff.

Tom, my man, the child as your global brand ambassador when? (*also side-eyes Celine and Amiri*)

Look, everything everywhere is on fire all at once, but today we had pics of the little fucker with a slutty 3 buttons of a sheer shirt undone, so today is a good day.

Among other things this is highly misleading from the Home Sec. Yes, Labour's anti-immigration policies will cause more child poverty. That's not even a debate, it's guaranteed. Not only however do children have no say if parents bring them to the UK, those proposals will impact children born here.

"Wes Streeting, now elevated to the Lords, had sold the entire NHS England to Palantir for a sack of magic beans before resigning citing poverty"

"It's October 2026. PM Rayner takes over from PM Streeting. Morgan McSweeney still runs number 10 and his focus group, consisting of himself, says 'do more racism' as the first small boat full of Minnesota residents ends up in Bexhill"

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??

Did someone spill a drink on the little fucker or something? Those trousers he wore on stage are not the same as the ones from the ‘shoot.

YBO, bbs, what is this ‘give us 9 pics of the little fucker with the shirt open almost down to his perfect belly button, and every single one has the swirly chest hair whorls blurred out’ shit? DO BETTER!!!!

Fuck. Me.

More progress.

Good morning, my beautiful Fae boy.

There’s sea cucumbers out there with more chemistry than these two. This whole ‘every drama must have a romantic interest main story’ shit needs killing with fire. *cough* Yang Ling *cough*

The alt #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #longnecks so I thought of the fourth photo of the #GreatBlueHeron but I had to show all for context. The #Bird walked up the grassy slope, stopped by the trail, looked at me, and then I am pretty sure he gave me the finger. #Photography #Herons #Nature

So, they are using a 4’7” girl to impersonate a 6’ guy, instead of using any of the other 6’ guys just standing around in the posse, and we are expected to believe no one has noticed the switcheroo? (by some miracle, the 6’ guy’s robes fit her perfectly) C-drama writers, bbs, y’all ok?

#BirdoftheDay has an alternate theme of #LongNecks, and this is also in my backyard, in the broader sense of the phrase. The shorter of the long necked herons - not often seen extended, but a Green Heron does have a long neck when needed. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Nature #Wildlife #BirdsofBlueSky

Use only water or fresh air on tear gas or pepper spray. No milk, vinegar, antacids, urine, etc. and especially not in eye. Thank me later, An actual expert

When Science Fiction speaks more truth about our past *and* our future.......

Social media nonsense about stuff like tear gas gets scraped up and repeated by AI LLMs. This is one reason why I am duelling with bullshit.

The Eyebrow has entered the chat. Again. This is seriously happy-making.

Dan Kaszeta FRHistS My own experience, which is not inconsiderable, allows me to put out Captain Dan's Tear Gas Laundry guidelines. Specifically, this is for your street clothing that has been exposed to tear gas in smoke/aerosol/dust/particulate form. A small thread 🧵

LOOKIT HIM!!

Lookit my boy Yunrui!

UGH! Sty coming out on the inner edge of my upper eyelid, and motherfucker itches something fierce, and eye is scratchy af, despite dosing it with prescription-strength chloramphenicol eye drops throughout the day.

Good morning, my beautiful Fae boy.

What do you do with your disposable income, A? Me? I buy yarn, apparently.

So, we have reached a point where i stress more about the child’s safety when he travels to the US for a fashion show than about him hanging precariously off a vertical rock face or driving a tin can full of fuel at stupid speeds around a track surrounded by other tin cans full of fuel.

Me: I haven't gotten enough good northern shoveler pictures this weird duck season 🪶 Weird duck:

Progress.

I din’t need another scar…

He’s magnificent, and he knows it.
