FUCK ME SIDEWAYS it's FREEZING out there

My MP. Christ, I feel sick.

1927-28: THE MOUSE AND MURATA MURATA Yasuji joins the dance to start a long series of animated fairytales, fables and folklore cartoons. Meanwhile, Walt DISNEY has changed the world. Is it hammer time? douglaswatchesanime.co.uk/2026/01/26/1...

I feel calm and at peace. I never feel like this. Yay? Probably.

I was told to write a list of the ways in which I am a decent human being. This is fine. I printed them on pieces of card, cut them up, and I put a random card in my field of vision every day. This is fine. I have to go back in and re-read my original list now. This, for some reason, is not fine.

⌨️ traumatizing yourself is not and will never be activism.

I went to a new thing today, and it was categorically not what it said it was on the tin. I am still trying to understand my feelings about that.

Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

#AEW #Dynamite It's nice to hear someone threaten to rip someone else's spine out and it actually be believable. For certain values of "nice", of course. I also love it when the bad guy has a point that's going to lead to some great matches. This is a good talky segment to open with.

Lesbian Vampire Killers With Big Naturals

friends, I am in need of two vegetarian recipes if anyone has any recommendations: - something that can be made in a slow cooker that would be satisfying after a long journey - a dish that utilizes hakka, mandarin or tainan style noodles

Hahahaha AhahahahaHhhhhhaaaaaa AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Sometimes it's funny to see arseholes socially excluded.

Peri: "I just don't like being lectured, that's all." Oh. Oh _dear_. #DoctorWho #FifthDoctor #PoorSweerSummerCompanion

Okay, transphobes freaking out because trans woman makes good on Broadway, yadah, yadah. But you skimmed right over the interesting bit. Estrogen made her feet smaller?? This is the kind of weird factoid I need to know more about. Is there scientific backing for this? Is it just anecdotal?

britain is currently erasing trans people from existence and doing mengele level medical research on trans people i don’t gotta take shit from them

"Peace In Our Time" meant "Let's make him think we're fooled while we make all the tanks"

Yesterday we talked about how cervical screening is a really important tool in helping us to eliminate cervical cancer. Today we'd like to share a few tips about how to make your cervical screening experience as comfortable for you as possible...

"Meanwhile, Princess Anne went for a ride in Kirkbride, Queen Camilla went shopping in Wapping, Prince Edward dropped a clanger in Bangor, and the young ladies of Buckingham asked Prince Andrew if he'd mind staying at home. Now it's goodnight from me ... ... and it's goodnight from him."

BELOVEDS WE HAVE OUR INSTRUCTIONS

bloggers. when you were getting started, how did you get around the constant need to check if anyone's read your shit yet, even though you know for a fact that no-one's read it because not enough people have heard of you yet?

Happy birthday, Tom Baker! The first Doctor I ever saw, the first I ever met, and while every Doctor is wonderful, one of few that are *the* Doctor to me Aged 3, little me started (51 years ago this month) with his first story. A giant impact on my life! Thank you, Tom. For everything, and forever.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Well that’s me locked out. No pay for the foreseeable future, all because I refuse to reschedule lost teaching, for which I have already lost pay as part of the strike. Please donate to support @sheffielducu.bsky.social members like me at www.gofundme.com/f/heubvb-sup...

You’ll see a lot of posts today about #BlueMonday, supposedly 'the most depressing day of the year'. Don't buy into it. There’s zero scientific evidence behind it – it was invented in 2005 as a marketing stunt to sell holidays. 🧵

TBH I think you're all overreacting about a speech that was, essentially, a holding pattern while the govt tries to work out what the fuck is going on and liase with allies. Staying calm and keeping level probably a good thing taht this point.

Subtweet at half of this website: the consensus among contemporary historians is that the UK's actions in the late 1930s (rapid re-armament while diplomatically stalling for time) were reasonable in the context, with the genuine failure having been "not starting to re-arm five years before".

hi from Minneapolis. these folks are catastrophically overthinking it; the immediate need when agents hit a block is for people that speak *any* language to know it's not safe to go out. that need is far more pressing than whatever this infantilizing "actually it's racist to make noise" shit is.

@danshive.bsky.social I've been reading your commentaries and you referred to something as "headcanon". I can't quite wrap my head around an _author_ saying that. Enjoying your work!

I feel I should bang the drum for this post, which hasn't received the love it deserves. It helps to know that Jenrick's constituency is Newark.

Etsy adverts seem to think I want a poster of noted lesbian Sam Fox from her days as a Page 3 model. Except, in the poster, Sam doesn't have her tits out. Firstly, I don't want it. Secondly, anyone who would want it, would want to see her boobs. At the time, that was the point. I don't get it.

Well hellooooo there everyone. I've just joined the site, I think I'm going to enjoy it here.

Hey, maybe someone can help me? Anne sleeps with an eye mask. She had the same one for a decade that she loved, and it got lost while we were traveling. She's allergic to latex, doesn't want anything heavy. If you wear one you love, would you share a link?

Incredibly specific ask, but just in case: Can anyone recommend - or does anyone *know* anyone who can recommend - any reading on the WWII-era Ministry of Food (UK), and especially the role of (female) home economists re: rationing menus and public/regional cooking demonstrations? Ta!

This is the foreign policy version of “Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other five?”
