Just finished step one of making a tailor's form of my own body so I can attempt to make clothes that flatter my generous roly poly body.

Just came across this line from a German woman complaining about a death camp near her home. It feels brutally familiar in America today: "One is an unwilling witness to such outrages. I request that it be arranged that such inhuman deeds be discontinued, or else be done where one does not see it."

I bought jeans, they had issues, they issued the refund in the form of a gift card. I don't want a gift card. Anyone wanna buy a clothing store gift card for 80% face value?

And if you wanted a feed that aggregated everyone's updates, we had that! It was called an RSS reader.

On 15 April, Alexander Lukashenko signed a harsh law penalising so called “LGBT propaganda” in Belarus. It targets information on sexual orientation, gender identity, and even childfree lifestyles, with vague wording allowing broad enforcement. Please share widely!

Join me in excited squeeing, for three good things have happened: I got accepted for a market in early May, walking distance from home. I found a toy claw grabber at the charity shop that I plan to redecorate whimsically and add to my stall as a lucky dip. Aaand

The medical copays are at $375, which I would very much love to get paid off before we file our taxes (which we will owe on, because we always end up owing, which pisses me off mightily.) Any help is, as always, very appreciated. #MutualAid www.gofundme.com/f/help-jeff-...

April 14th. #HelpFolksLive2026 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

"Two demographics of TTRPG marketing, corporations offloading risk onto deluxe Kickstarters and indies passing around $20" actually simplification. Trust fund kids offloading risk onto deluxe Kickstarter to extract $20 from circulation actually bulk of "indie" for years.

a bit more simple:

new bucket list unlocked for my adhd craft friends:

The EHRC’s power to issue Codes of Practice comes from the Equality Act 2006, section 14 (7). Which is this:

I found a "tree pearl" on my walk (small trunk gall that comes off the trunk easily when it's ripe). I've got it in a jar of grit that I'm going to roll around, carry when I go out, and hope that it tumbles it into a nice bead.

Section 28, made law in 1988, created barriers to HIV information. It hampered HIV prevention efforts at the same time as it devalued the lives of gay and bisexual men, who carried the heaviest burden of AIDS at the time. It was introduced by homophobes and is only defended by homophobes.

These organizations are legit and trying their best to help. Meanwhile, it is sadly also pretty much impossible to get money to real people in Gaza nowadays via direct/mutual aid - which is why those are almost certainly scams at this point.

I can't believe I actually have to say this, but apparently I do: someone who is buying compromised Bluesky accounts from an account reseller marketplace is directly funding identity theft, fraud, and international crime. #BadActorBingo resurrection for an explainer of why:

You can also donate to Doctors Without Borders, it is never a bad idea to donate to Doctors Without Borders: www.doctorswithoutborders.org

You can and should donate to PCRF if you want to help Gazans, instead of shady spam accounts on social media: www.pcrf.net

What I can't get past, and maybe I just don't have all the information, is this: so say I send money to someone on Bsky claiming to be from Gaza... How are they getting it? How are they able to use it?

As the owner of probably the earliest post online referring to the concept of a trans egg, ahahahhahahahahahhahaha. yeah nah it's for anyone.

Someone mentioned Regulation Reform Spectacles. My current pair look like this 😭. Should I start crowdfunding for a style consultant and a new pair of specs so I can have appropriately queer glasses?

I'm resting! I am not enjoying it. I want to get up.

One last point: When governments talk about "age verification," they also mean "identity verification" So even if you're 55 years old, you will be virtually carded and all your social media activity will be linked to your identity. That means no online anonymity and raises privacy issues for adults

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

AI footage in the quote post. However it's a real fact, with real footage available (See my link below). Now people who believed it have a false image of how octopus act, and people who recognise it as AI question a real observed scientific fact. Utter bullshit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN9B...

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

"get kids off their computers!" Kids go outside to socialise "No, not like that!" Groups request meeting places for teens "But then the teens will gather there!"

*flomp* cleaning day. Who needs gross motor control and working spinal erector muscles? Not meeeeee

Due to some legal weirdness, I can't get disability. I need money to make sure I'm sheltered, fed, and kept from going insane. donate what you can if you can and repost for more visibility if you can't. ko-fi.com/reitoryokosh...

This is what grassroots community empowerment looks like. This wasn’t won by disinformation campaigns, huge donor spend, fear-mongering from the MSM. It was won by normal people stepping up for each other. Feels like an entirely new type of politics, and it’s why it’s so exciting 💚

Hey guys, I've been unwell so not online to share this but I am stuck at 35/150 for days now and I really need to see some movement on this or I will lose something very Important and won't be able to cover My bills. Donate and share. Will do art for donations #HelpSky #MutualAidRequest

If Kellogg's proposed a bill that would limit their liability for any genocides caused by Corn Flakes, the entire company should be dissolved and a full scale investigation launched into whatever the hell they were doing with Corn Flakes. OpenAI is telling on itself. www.wired.com/story/openai...

This is how I learned I have executive dysfunction

This is the good shit.

Words I just said: what's the worst that can happen? It's not like I can get double ME. You all have my permission to roast me

And we should not do anything that obfuscates or launders the fact that "mantasy"? mantasy is what Men want

😭 I'm going to have to order something high energy if I want to get today's cleaning done, aren't I?

"Luddites" is a good term for those who oppose AI because the Luddites weren't against *all* technology, just forms of technology that they knew would pay workers less and turn out a shittier product

Fun fact! There's a whole community dedicated to jailbreaking and modding kindles. You don't need to settle for this. kindlemodding.org

Asking for a dumbass who has overcommitted (me), is there any kind of rapid recharge trick for ME? I've got the gross motor tremblies but there's still stuff to do

Today we launch our campaign for the May elections. Locally and nationally, Labour is cosying up to developers and failing to provide the secure, affordable homes we need. We deserve better. On 7th May vote for council homes, rent controls and an end to leaseholds. Vote Green.

Wooo I'm awake and washed and fed and medicated and today promises art and sunshine

‘Luggage’ is an everyday word I don’t really think about and then I realise it means ‘stuff I lug around’ and now I am very fond of the word luggage.

Seconded. You want positive masculine role models, adventure, maybe a few monsters, and a heroine who isn't a wet blanket? Read T Kingfisher's romantasy books. Yes, the protagonist is a middle aged woman. You'll survive, I promise.

artist scam alert, see thread

I cannot stress enough how fun participating in patronage of the arts is like what do you mean you’ll draw exactly what’s in my head or write a poem about my pet I send you a picture of and all it costs is MONEY?

PSA: Amazon is discontinuing all access for pre-2013 Kindles. Books can no longer be sent to those devices at all. Man, fuuuuck Amazon. #Booksky

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool. And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.
