oh it's non-binary awareness week BEWARE NON-BINARY PEOPLE ARE AMONGST YOU YOU MIGHT EVEN BE ONE

“Verify your age” I had a Livejournal

Your reminder that Joshua Chamberlain thought it was a moral imperative to fight the Confederacy but he didn't have any background as an Army officer, so he was like, "Hmm, I should study Casey's Infantry Tactics and Duparcq's Elements of Military Art and History", and that's how he beat Longstreet.

Hello, everyone. I hope you all good! Sharing my new watercolor painting of lilac. 29×36 cm, hot pressed, smooth paper. #botanicalillustration #watercolorpainting #painting #botanicalart #illustration #watercolors #artist #lilac #art #fineart #botanical #nature #hyperrealsim #photorealism #handwork

I appreciate everyone dusting off their dead guy posts for Graham, doing the maintenance and sharpening the blade so that we can be ready to bring down the house for bigger occasions. The dry run for the main event as it were.

sorry to get serious for a second but I’m glad that these politicians are opening up unisex toilets (their graves) for us as bathrooms are harder for many of us to access

This feels like the senate trade deadline. what the hell is going on

*whispers* Rule of Three.

Nobody celebrated human death with more glee than Lindsey Graham. Nobody.

BREAKING: Lindsey Graham’s sudden death reveals everyone’s wake-up time on Sundays.

Just like how my current response to the Cyclospora outbreak is "damn, guess I'm just not eating any raw produce for a while."

Just finished this and highly recommend it if you are in the mood for a romance that has enough weight to keep it grounded without ever feeling truly angsty. Anita Kelly is so good at balancing realistic fears and worries with gentle optimism and heart; this might be my favorite of theirs yet

Unboxing my new Fantasy novel the only way I know how: WITH A SWORD.

this was shared in the fated mates discord, and I would say that if you are any kind of romance reader, this is a must read.

So I couldn't find the original thread, and therefore have written my own analysis and put it on my website (to avoid censorship for bluntly discussing sexual content). There's also an indecent amount of food metaphors. Enjoy? www.riengray.com/blog/the-perpetual-disappointment-of-if-only-eroticism

All of this, but also please remember that Laura Ingalls Wilder was edited by her daughter Rose Wilder Lane, who is regarded as one of the three mothers of libertarianism and Ayn Rand's besties, and the books have been shaped to reflect her ideology.

Meta Glasses are like, a Cybertruck for your face.

PSA If you do NOT want your Instagram posts to be AI fodder, do this: -open Instagram - tap your profile - tap the three lines in the top-right - scroll down to “Sharing and reuse” -turn that sh*t off (screenshot below)

WAIT FOR IT WAIT. FOR. IT! 🪶 🐣

It’s nice to know that ice hockey goalies aren’t the only tendies who go on chaotic adventures sometimes

i think the thing that also baffles me about platner is that even in the very best case scenario he always was just a guy who's real stupid and probably not fit for office who may have had his (political) heart in the right place. how was he the best available option.

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

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

I was 17 years old when this story ran. I am very aware that if I had been 27, there's a good chance I wouldn't be here to remind you of it. I try never to forget that as much as I chose my own path in life, I also got lucky.

It's not appropriate for cis people to say that trans people are too alarmed, or that certain trans writers are irresponsibly causing trans people to think the sky is falling. I want to take some time in this 🧵 to write personally about how my skies have fallen.

Oh are we talking about the ways the groundswell of transphobia has harmed us? Sure, let's do this. A depressing thread by me, a trans southerner in exile.

legitimately funny dispatch lol

I would kill or die for Larry

the Cape Verde national anthem is quite lovely. With dignity, bury the seed In the dust of the naked island At the escarpment of life Hope is As big as the sea Which embraces us Sentinel of the oceans and winds Persevering Between the stars And the Atlantic Intone the Chant of Freedom.

Congratulations to Cape Verde for overshadowing a certain wedding.

combining medfet and findom for a scene in which a sub has to call their insurance to convince them that the thing they cover is covered

“It’s Summer, it’s Hot.” We hear ya, but this is no ordinary heat. Several all-time heat records are likely to be broken across the Eastern U.S. this weekend, with triple-digit heat up and down the East Coast. Stay hydrated, have a cooling plan and #StayCoolforthe4th

Reminder that unless you are a journalist, you very likely do not need to real-time subject yourself to the stream of utter & complete bullshit coming out of a fascist's mouth today. If you are a journalist, your coverage needs to fundamentally dismantle the bullshit coming out of fascists' mouths.

Well, we gave them a chance to fix their hearts.

Just because SCOTUS affirms a type of discrimination does not mean that discrimination is required. This decision should not cause us to weaken our efforts for trans inclusion in general or trans inclusion in sports in particular. Cis allies, you very specifically, need to double down.

Update on the serious wildfire situation in Colorado, including evacuations for the rapidly growing Aspen Acres fire west of Pueblo www.cpr.org/2026/06/29/b...

this is going to be an absolute mess and I’m pumped. it will have to have subtitles bc Middle English is largely unintelligible to us. but, even funnier, pronunciation at this time is a nightmare French was still a court language and so they’d have various dialectical French accents layered on top

JOKER: Not so fast, Bat-JERK! My LAUGHBangs will leave you BLIND as a BAT! BLUESKY BATMAN: Oof. Many people suffer from reduced vision. Not funny. JOKER: It's like, it's a pun. It's just wordplay. BLUESKY BATMAN: Sorry if I'm not in the mood for "jokes" while SCOTUS shreds our constitutional rights

this is just pure good stuff. and is addressing the ACTUAL problems in women's sports - which is that there's not enough funding for championships, for teams, for people to not have "real" jobs funding themselves playing it. properly understands the game

"it's a nice thing to do"

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

This weekend is a whole bucket of evidence for my Charles Leclerc Is Probably Cursed theory #f1

reiterating this: organizers of the trans march *do not want cops there*. the cops decide to show up *as a provocation*.

IMPORTANT to note that Iraqi Counter-terrorism Service that is currently raiding the Green Zone in Baghdad had American training and backing. Just an interesting totally unrelated observation that's all.

URGENT: Iraqi Counter-terrorism Service raids the Green Zone in Baghdad and arrests several prominent politicians on major corruption charges-via local media outlets.
