exfil is short for exfilliam

(after burning an effigy) Alright, nice work, gang. That's a great start, but remember the real guy's still out there.

other people on the wedding bus, playing 20 questions: TILDA SWINTON me sat behind them, tapping Corridor of Chameleons on my umbrella handle: 🙂

Will I get in trouble for this. "“Gender critical” is an inaccurate term for a movement which is anything but ‘critical,’ in the academic sense, in its approach. “Gender criticality” is marked, in fact, by a profound lack of intellectual inquiry."

ADIDAS (all day I dream about sects)

what would a show have to be about to justify being called Gland Designs

If the real-world treatment of trans women by the healthcare system was invented for a work of fiction, it would instantly read as an absurdist satire of all the issues with cis women's healthcare. yeah you can get a vagina but only if the doctor thinks he'd want to fuck it afterwards.

he's gooning in ways you can't possibly imagine (wearing a top hat and whistling)

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

yesterday leaving family lunch, somebody mentioned Johnny Big, and I said to my brothers 'John is short for Johnathan' 🙂

Sorry, Trump's not on the verge of death - if he was there'd be huge movements in Polymarket due to all the insider trading.

in 1992 i took back the night and i still have it if anybody needs some

excellent thread

“Bluesky is dying” No man. You’re dying. Bluesky is a website

Fuck dude I just found out the KPIs here are bad. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. All my friends don’t seem to know the KPIs are bad and several numbers are down by a percentage and they’re still posting. How am I gonna break it to them that there aren’t enough likes to go around

HASTINGS: I say, Poirot, this vial’s labeled “hyaluronic acid”! Is it a poison? SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: Non, mon ami. This acid, it replenishes the skin’s barrier naturale HASTINGS: So this is a gal who takes care of her skin. SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: *irritated* The gentleman may use it as well

Interesting news about Long COVID fatigue treatment.

the leafs should give me $20

when sleep is no reprieve from feeling bad, becoming an arduous uncomfortable slog through the night, you gotta wonder what the alternatives are. perhaps I need to pay an action hero to choke me out or strike me unconscious, quick and clean, and then tuck me into bed

dreams are like what if your brain hated you while you were asleep too

two of the hardest things ever written are "face god and walk backwards into hell" and "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" one of them came from a tumblr shitpost and the other one came from a dril tweet about hollering at zoo animals the internet truly is a magical place

coming out of my cage and honestly I've been better

I don't need a summary of what's available online, in biographies, or even in my own notes. I need to comb through and find the great details, decide what interests ME. No, it's not efficient.

ah fuck I forgot to plan out my future

Mods asleep post illegal Cow Tools:

"The IOC already tried mandatory sex testing. For decades, every female Olympic athlete was screened. In all those years, it never caught a single person deliberately misrepresenting their sex. What it did was destroy the careers & lives of women with intersex conditions they didn’t know they had."

I love these tough guy influencer that freely admit that they're terrified of someone with skin tones a shade darker than Mother of Pearl. Truly pathetic shit

yesterday I almost declared 'big yawn!!' to a guy driving past me doing a big yawn
