the problem with wearing a fencing mask for 2+ hours last week, then immediately boxing it up with a dozen others, and not pulling it out until this week is it will go real gross. as I found out 🤢. The one I've ordered can't arrive quickly enough.

part 2

Listen to trangirlismo

On the one hand, it's nice to knock a couple of projects off my list as I clean the flat. On the other..... Maybe the one involving a hot glue gun wasn't the best to break out today 😂

The MMA guy?

And now I just have @snipethesorrow.bsky.social sing-saying "exodite, dragon knights" stuck in my head. wild how tiny slivers of a video you watched ages ago can get stuck.

Oh, you mean the bunch of emotional trannies who got in the way of you celebrating with Thier facts and actually reading the so called "ban"? You see, hear and ignore.

..... Observers think she's debating doing something drastic to her hair.... BWIM cutting it, because it's too fuckin warm, and I don't know when I'm next able to make it to a hairdresser....

Expert on conversion therapy here — I share this concern. The bill will likely criminalize trans people but not conversion therapists.

So the NHS conversion therapy can continue unabated too ....

Oh what do you know. Labour's "conversion therapy ban" is just more section 28. I'm sure @stonewalluk.bsky.social will be sounding the alarm about this any moment.....

Major Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell) 🤍

If I were a retro clothing brand, I maybe wouldn't use a model noted for being quite racist. Especially if I was putting her in a design based on the national flag.....

.... Cracking open the bottle of isopropyl alcohol to clean up some old glue was a bad plan on a day this warm.

:3

Muppet war of the worlds

rewatched withnail & i recently and my hot take is that having lived out that movie against my will a couple times with two different withnails i can categorically say that marwood is a repressed trans woman

Please. People. Instructional articles using TEXT and IMAGES. An accompanying video is fine. But as the sole source, they suck. Because It's much harder to follow along as I do it. A text based instruction I can easily scroll back, re read a given section, do it, then move on to the next.

grumble grumble. There are photos on my camera. They might (MIGHT) even be some good photos*. BUT I cannot find my memory card reader. So they are stuck on the camera. *Stranger things have happened.

The zoo has penguins!!! :D never kill yourself!

Hey Athena, is that rope burn on your leg. Did you have fun at the weekend? 😏 *Muttering* dggr shth crd rbbd m' lg. What? I said my dagger sheath's cord rubbed my leg.

Oi mate you got a license for that wank

Sorry you can't come to the orgy without a signed permission slip from your local MP.

I can't decide which Scottish World Cup chant I'm more proud of: "The Tartan Army's on a bender, Donald Trump's a sex offender!" or "He's orange, he's bald, he likes 'em 12 years auld, Donald Trump!" Outstanding work, lads.

Because they're all trying to recapture the vitality of that Dune one.

... interesting. A Chinese company (companies?) have started offering b&w and colour film. Might have to order some in and have a play.

We're on the way to the airport

what did Terry Pratchett mean by this

my ‘top 4’? all of my tops are 10s actually

He may have decided to make it a thing after this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Wh...

The doctor as cryptid. Our protagonists are a team from UNIT or some such. The doctor is portrayed as a kind of inscrutable eldritch horror. This force that appears wearing one of a number of faces, leaves a trail of destruction in it's wake, and may or may not actually help humanity.

Drop the production values. Part of the charm was the slightly crap sets where the whole thing is obviously plywood. Where the monsters were obviously a guy wrapped in spray painted bubble wrap. Where a key resource for building sets was "what nonsense could we grab out this skip"

So, a long running series with flagging popularity, featuring a character who's the same guy with several different faces, needs a boost? We know the answer: Cast Peirce Brosnan

These people do not have ‘legitimate concerns’; they have a need for tribalism, fighting, and a non-zero amount of lager and Colombian marching powder up their beaks.

The thing that clued me in that she was dodgy was some of her reporting around UK issues. She was getting important nuances wrong. None of it changed the fact that shit was bad (obviously, shits fucked.) But it did significantly affect the picture of what the situation actually was.

genuinely shocking to me that people still take erin reed seriously

If anyone is following this and thinks that EHRC chair Mary-Anne Stephenson hasn't met trans people - she has. A bunch of us, myself included. She knows perfectly well that you cannot tell whether or not someone is trans based on their voice. She is just a bigot who cares not a jot for our safety.

On Tiktok. "I'm a LARPer at empire" Blocked. Unless I literally know you. It's not a hobby that should have that kind of content made about it. Especially as you can't actually film IC, so it's all about the peripheral "aesthetic"

I hate that everything has gone to gestural interfaces. Because there's only like 5 gestures. So now, I try to exit some bloody app by swiping from the right side of my screen. (Set by the interface of my phone) And instead it just flips to a different page (set by the interface of the app)

People fear she's going to try to make the banana republic vest work.

It's very interesting that the only institutionally racist organisation over the past decade and half appears to be the Labour Party, but in a very specific period and then suddenly everything got better. Weird. Curious. Definitely not something to look into.

It's sort of impressive that the UK has produced an environment where racism, both interpersonal and institutional only really exists when it's useful as a cudgel against the left and in precisely no other circumstances.

..... Must not use my knowledge for evil.

building a numbers station that puts out random strings of numbers and then either "estimated as clocky" or "estimated as passoid" to drive local trans women insane

I'm sorry what? As part of its 1987 rebrand British Rail's sectorised freight business Railfreight had its own branded After Eight mints and called them AFTER FREIGHT!?

I would share my first film photos in a while, but they're bloody awful. Probably because they were taken on a camera from the 50's, pre-covid, so even the semi good ones have grain up the wazoo, and the whole roll has been cooking in the camera, on my shelf, for years.

See's I got a letter from HMRC (initiate panic) Reads letter. Tax refund! Reads attached Cheque. SUBSTANTIAL Tax refund.

Happy pride month all, fuck Palantir

The problem with the band behind such classics as "Rocking all over the world" is they can only ever move forward by breaking up. Otherwise they are just preserving the status quo.....
