All the things people told me were "weird" and "alienating" like not being on Instagram seem to have been the right call.

Just wanting to make clear before anyone yells at me that this is not, nor has it ever been, a pro-tetanus account.

Yikes I left Met/a completely several years ago

Steady red, rain ahead

I thought of a picture I had seen earlier of a child’s ruined body in a shape I had never seen a human body in before. Not even in a movie. I don’t know how old she was either. Maybe six. orbooks.com/catalog/we-h...

I removed by nitro sub when the news dropped a couple of months ago, mine is going to finish at the end of august and I urge you to do the same. I've been using it to boost our Alblune server but I don't care now, they don't deserve our money. I don't care if my server looses emotes or banners

same

No?

Shout out to everyone who’s had to say a version of this before 😷

The most reliable thing in the world is that if you hear two stories about a guy behaving physically abusively toward women, there are five more you haven’t heard yet. People have patterns.

THE SORT OF THING EYE THOT WAS COMMON KNOWLEDGE

NEVER TRUST A PERSON W/ A NAZI TATTOO

the thing is that I do absolutely believe in kindness. I believe in care. I believe we owe something to each other - respect and dignity as people. generosity and care. which is why I'm angry and disgusted. because we've been told these ideals are worthless and not worth fighting for.

Library patron: Why are you wearing a mask? Me: Just for vibes, I guess. Why are you hacking up a lung at the library while I help you print off forms?

Delightful little brown mouse nibbling at a walnut. From a #Roman ‘unswept floor’ mosaic by Heraclitus. Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effects! 2nd century AD. Vatican Museums www.museivaticani.va/content/muse... #MosaicMonday #Archaeology

Perfectly normal Baltimore graffiti.

"gimme 1 million dollars or I'll bite your toes"

The number of times I said “if they made this a competition I would win” 🤔🤔🤔

It's a collective psychopathy, which treats disabled people, elderly people and people with long-term conditions as disposable. We see it in the Covid-19 pandemic. We see it in the heatwaves. Their deaths are inconvenient reminders that a favoured policy is disastrous. So they must be dismissed.

After I wrote last week's column, I learnt that a neighbour with severe disabilities, an extremely tough & resourceful woman who lived to the full, died in the heatwave. Everyone here is devastated. I can scarcely express my anger towards a mindset that treats people like her as collateral damage. 🧵

JOYCE MESSIER - It wasn't a *who*, but a *what*. A pandemic of tzaraath, a particularly virulent prion disease, which the authorities in Graad proved unable to contain. Then Mazov came along and overthrew the government.

VOLITION - No. Not a disaster. Weave this into the story of you. Walk out of its *ruins*. Save those who still can be saved -- *I'm* on your side.

"None of these men ever face their trauma directly," @danozzi.bsky.social writes. "None of them ever take accountability or admit wrongdoing. And they certainly never apologize for anything."

st. rat is now a beacon of the queer and trans community

apparently people bring offerings of t and e-vials, weed, and roses to st. rat

my brother & his partner are telling me an insane story about this local deity called "st. rat" which is apparently a mosaic relief put up by some queers in seattle. the city kept trying to paint over it, but people would repeatedly just use acetone and remove the paint until the city gave up
