this feels so long ago

I was actually chatting with a fellow gymgoer about this this morning - women are way underserved with info about miscarriages and perimenopause. It's like we need a sex-ed class for later in life, because for some reason we mostly got chided into not talking about this natural stuff

pride bucks are no good any more apparently, but we also accept wrath bucks.

Don't mind me, just checking out a chapel that's over 100m underground in a salt mine.

It’s a tell. When I see someone use this phrase I simply assume they’re a transphobe, even if they’re actively expressing support for trans people. There is no context where it feels neutral, because it isn’t.

when we moved into our area, the house turned out to be one of the few on a flat rate per month no matter how much water you use. the utility company endlessly *begs* us to switch to pay for usage as it's "much cheaper". i did a lot of calculations and guess what,

"If we do unambiguously good, necessary things that could inspire resentment in assholes" sounds to me like a bonus, not a reason against doing it

– gentlemen, we appear to have a sizm – umm, it’s pronounced skizm – no, sizm – I agree with him. It’s skizm – no no no, definitely sizm – gentlemen, we appear to have two sizms

Pride has ended, and the new sins yearn to be born. now is the time of schisms.

You can turn off the option for this robot bullshit when you order, too. Choose human drivers. And tip.

a fun fact about SSPX is that the main founder was a Vichy regime sympathizer and one of his founding bishops was an outright Holocaust denier. both excommunicated in the 80s I’m no JPII stan, but you KNOW that was one thing former Polish Resistance member Karol Wojtyla was NOT going to stand for

ME: So yeah, the Post Office ran great for a long time until this one political faction realized having a wildly successful and popular government agency undermined their goal of hollowing out all Federal agencies. Sorry about that. BEN FRANKLIN: Yes, yes. So this service is only for fans, you say?

The government today:

As always

I will never send a better message than this one in reply to my wife asking when I'd be home

If you are trans and are raising money for your own needs, post the link below and I will share. If you are cis, choose one to donate to and share this thread.

hey check out this monument to the Ancients that I found, it must have all kinds of wicked loot and treasure buried underneath

Holy shit a release date

Not Only Will I Not Compete, I Will Teach You What I Know For Free.

Literally tapping the sign.

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.

“You have to give up your privacy & anonymity online because there’s just nothing we can do about the open web getting bait-and-switched into an unregulated global social experiment that gamifies the worst behaviors of humanity for the profit of two billionaire freaks” is just not a great pitch.

Anyone who uses “myself” when they mean “me” in order to appear professional.

British gender panic has folk so confused they are hallucinating trans people! To quote my nb friend, she was trying to clock me but didn't know what time it was...

Old enough to recognize this as a data center

She tried to hold it in and managed it for almost six seconds, then burst out, “ART should know how you really feel about it! And this is serious, it’s like—you and ART are making a baby just so you can send it off to get killed or deleted or—or whatever might happen

this whole online ID verification push stuff is turning me into a weird crank at rapid speed because I've never seen such an unpopular policy forced through with such speed in so many countries simultaneously with basically zero real consent from any population, just pure elite collusion

Now get out of my police station and take Laughing Boy with you.

When I told you all Hiron Ennes was the future of genre, this kind of thing was my expectation. Read all their stuff.

we are speechless with joy and pride and wonder @premeemohamed.com's glorious collection One Message Remains is a finalist for the Le Guin Prize!!! AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa 🎉🎉🎉

A line that stayed with me from an old hiking book: > The safest place to store water in hot weather is in your body. People have died of dehydration with water still in their canteens. this isn't a metaphor for anything. finish your water bottle.

"when state police found em, truck and trailer had been sitting out in the sun for three days." we hand around the jar of vicks vaporub "you don't need to see this or smell this," i tell the rookie before throwing open the doors to reveal an amorphous mass of ten thousand melted yankee candles

Last day to get 75% off all my books 👀

About fucking time.

Neighbour: "Did I hear you shouting 'Oxfam' out your back door the other day?" Me: "It's entirely possible. One of our cats is called Charles, and we started calling him Chaz, then Chazza, then Chazza Shop then Charity Shop then Oxfam Books And Music but sometimes we shorten that to just Oxfam."

Writers, use whatever words you want. Not even a debate. Readers, there's this newfangled thing called a dictionary. They put words in it. Use it.

This is now an Erling Haaland fangirl account. Sorry, I don't make the rules, I just work here. Ali: "Are you a boy or a girl?" Haaland: "my dad is a boy and my mom is a girl so i'm mixed xx 💋

Some help required. Daughter lost her very special to her Coraline Cat (pictured) at the Kneecap Crystal Palace gig on Saturday night last. Incredibly long shot but means a lot to her. Any and all help very welcome. Pictured at the gig and previously visiting Big Ben.

really dislike the phrase “doesn’t suffer fools gladly”. as a fool it just makes me think me and that person wouldn’t get on

Really no excuse for any of us to be suffering from imposter syndrome anymore

Watching the video from The Ring on my phone so she comes out of my screen real tiny and I can just put her in a mug

I wish you all a day of gender euphoria

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

Tall burgers can fuck off

2026 can be summed up in that anyone with any power goes “we’re doing this because this is the sort of thing the public like us to do.” And when the public goes “no we don’t” they go “you’ll fucking like what we say you like.”
