In those final moments he unflinchingly recited the shahada

oh look, i shouldn't do it to myself, but if i've got started i watch Granpa. i don't know how my dad watched this with tiny me. now he and my Grandpa are both gone it's... cathartic? i think? beautiful animation anyway. and Peter Ustinov! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPdH...

watched Your Name again; always catches me with how much it makes me cry

‘Lilo & Stitch’ creators Chris Sanders & Dean DeBlois have shared a piece of artwork honoring the late Daveigh Chase. Chase voiced Lilo in the ‘Lilo & Stitch’ film.

Saw this at homesense, didn’t even have a price tag. Yes the tiles are nice. Yes the bird is included.

RT myself to save a life. This one was heinous. Remember for whom the bell tolls — all phishing attempts are stupid and obvious until the one that catches you when you’re exhausted, high, disregulated, or old.

Feeling like a flat pack queen 😤

how you give your pronouns is how i will refer to you. i don't care if we all know you're being an asshole. it's really simple to just say how you would like to be referred to.

I am begging cisgender people to stop using the pronoun part of their introductions in meeting to say nouns that are clearly not the pronouns they actually use. I don't care if you have ~feelings~ about being asked pronouns. You are mocking trans people.

an interesting thing about the house: we've bought from a family of four, who've lived there for 20 years. the youngest kid is 17, oldest early 20s. no locks on the toilet doors. imagine those teen years

The house had this, the Worlds Worst Wallpaper. We called it the “live laugh love kitchen” because we could never remember the actual twee statements. Anyway it’s gone now. (Don’t worry, it’s getting another coat)

rewatching the film - saw it years ago and remember almost nothing. jesus, what perfect casting for the kids!

Brought Dad with me to the new house already

Guess who is officially a homeowner 😬

obviously got this one instantly, lol Framed #1551 🎥 🟩 ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ framed.wtf

My least favourite twee quote people share is that Roald Dahl one where if you are a bad person you will look ugly. Dahl was a misogynist antisemite AND kids aren't amazing at spotting nuance. It teaches them that if they see someone they think looks gross they can go "and it's coz they're evil".

decided to watch a bit of Poirot. avoiding the books i haven't read, had to go right in at series 4, Mysterious Affair at Styles. Hastings is not how i imagined him. much too old. Evie Howard however is pretty perfect, could be a bit more butch.

@kyracloudy.bsky.social i was reading about Flash Airlines flight 604 and thought of you - the kind of murky, corrupt investigation that you're so good at picking through. Hope you're well!

i like this article on japanese wikipedia (autotranslated in my browser)

Hell yeaaaaah #falloutnewvegas

we exchanged contracts on friday, and complete next friday... i think we just bought a house

@thecoolerwingon.bsky.social friend! pal! buddy!!

There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

Can video games make us think like archaeologists? In our latest free British Archaeology article, Florence Smith Nicholls explores archaeological roleplay in Nothing Beside Remains, a 2D game where players interpret a ruined village through the material traces left behind. 👉 shorturl.at/QFKU0

got the m705 and it's not as nice as the old one but acceptable, i think.

i was excited for this, i have a bunch of old DA tarot print shirts DO NOT BUY THIS. it's absolutely disgusting. the print is like a sheet of plastic on a (lovely) soft tee. it crackles when it moves. nothing at all like the old style shirts. #dragonage gear.bioware.com/en-eu/produc...

today i finally decided that my mouse, the logitech m510, was done. it can't hold a click any more, impossible to click and drag any more, and it sometimes double clicks unexpectedly. backup mouse is SO LIGHT and its scroll wheel is too loose. i keep going up and down by accident.

i saw a video of "eurovision songs: biggest gap between jury and public" and it had all of my favourites. Shum Queen of Kings Spirit in the Sky Cha Cha Cha funny that. anyway, that's a fun playlist

once i'm done with xcom 2 (either Bored or Too Hard or, perhaps, finishing the game) i really think it's time for an FFIX playthrough. i miss it and, honestly, no minigame has ever bested chocobo hot and cold.

Hot weather lunching 💅

Free simulator teaches how to identify swimmers in distress/drowning. Important: drowning ppl can be dangerous to untrained rescuers. Call for lifeguard! If none can help, push float/object toward drowning person, avoid letting them grab you directly, esp in deep water. spotthedrowningchild.com

Some thoughtful person provided a link to a non-paywalled version of this article: gcaptain.com/drowning/

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

i have recently learned of doctordle.org and based on all my medical knowledge (tv shows, mostly) i correctly diagnosed today's patient after the second clue.

I've found it pretty easy to boycott Eurovision of late. I can't believe, with all the effort they put in, Israel STILL can't win a contest now only watched by people who don't care what they get up to. And Europe doesn't "hate the UK", we came 2nd three years ago coz people liked the song.

If you read them from the beginning they're the words of a dog who desperately wants you to come over because they've seen a frisbee

trying to track down an old friend who never cared for social media is actually quite difficult. no one from back in the day has spoken to him in years and i genuinely think he might be dead

Best cat. The pause is him thinking about it as we shouted “no! Stop! NO!”. And then he continued.

Pint? www.jank.cool/a-love-lette...

incident that i hate but is genuinely quite good for me: "Oh No, the Freezer Was Accidentally Turned Off and now Everything Is Squishy 😭" quite freeing, really.

yeah all right I love a Mugler

and the Silmaril that he bore was taken into the bosom of the earth

my heart will break before i cry

19: Pseudotooth - @verityholloway.bsky.social 10/10. Mesmerising. Dragged me in and wouldn’t let go. Led to hazy, green, watery dreams. Sobbed at the end. So glad chance put it on my timeline, I wanted to stay in that world forever. It will stay with me. 🦷

i'm just obsessed, i thought Gaon was my bias but Jooyeon has the best voice i've heard in kpop in years, such a cool sound www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeNO...
