If Willie Wonka is children's Saw that makes Matilda children's Carrie

I saw someone genuinely irritated that Taylor Swift fans are having some moments of joy these last couple of days despite the horrors of the world, I want to reassure that person that when the Taylor Swift fans are done having their joy the horrors will still be there, don't worry, they can catch up

So when the Trump administration completes it aim of total executive power, sidelining Congress and the Supreme Court, and making the US a totalitarian state, what do other western nations do? Just continue to act like they can be allies with them?

A friend of almost 30 years just unfriended me. Our friendship has been going down the gurgler for awhile so I'm not terrbily surprised, it's just sad to see it finally end.

A very happy 30th birthday to bisexuality, born this day in 1995 🎂

I am so glad I was sitting down when I read this!

Yes, got tickets to see G Flip!

It's St Swithins Day, so it would be remiss of me not to post this.

Which trans Blåhaj do you prefer?

I read the headline in Jeff Goldblum's, uh, voice.

I'm almost crying with laughter trying to persuade my equally Simpsons-loving brother that the "Oh!" at the start sounds like Snake. Please confirm. youtu.be/sfCLt0kTd5E?...

Can we all join hands in tagging @bsky.app to please consider implementing private, locked accounts or at least the ability to limit post visibility?? Can we all do this now before the next big wave arrives

I went to the dentist today and I need not one, not two, not three, but FOUR fucking fillings. 😩😩😩😩

The anti-AC snobbery (while not being anti-heat) must derive from a Northern European bias.

I kind of miss Twitter sometimes, or more accurately, I miss the people on Twitter.

#BREAKING Iran media reports 'massive explosion' in Bushehr province, home to nuclear reactor

Your enemies are people in actual power not some random person on the internet.

"This is the most horrific thing that most of us have any witnessed in our life times.. this is a live streamed genocide, there is no limit to the atrocities that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people" British doctor James Smith, who has spent time working in Gaza.

Bodily autonomy is a human right. Transness isn't a disease that needs to be cured. We're a normal part of the spectrum that is the human condition. And we deserve to have the final say over our own bodies - not just because of the harm if we don't, but because they belong to us and not the state.

There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

Ever since March 2020, the world has felt like Maurice Ravel's song "Bolero" where the melody repeats but it keeps adding instruments and gets louder like a crescendo that never ends and never gets quieter. We are witnessing one grotesque event after another and it never ends and never gets quieter.

Childhood disease before vaccination is why we don't have a word for a parent who's buried a child. An orphan is defined by lack of parents, a widow by lack of husband, but before vaccines, almost every adult of childbearing age had buried at least one baby, if not more.

Pro-tip for a happy marriage: if something is important to them, it is important to you. Period.

I found out yesterday that one of my brother's friends died. I don't know what happened, but it seems sudden and very unexpected. He was so young too, only a year older than me.

This is obviously extremely terrible, but if Australia was smart we'd open the doors to these students and to academics fleeing the system. We won't, of course, because we are not smart.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only:

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

This is my favorite thing today. 👇

Seriously, do not buy, stream, or otherwise support of promote more Harry Potter bullshit. It is no longer theoretical - Rowling is funelling those wizard bucks into getting the law changed to actively oppress an already-vulnerable minority.

Lmao

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

social media is like case1: *posts something good* reply1: this is insensitive with all the bad things happening case2: *posts something bad* reply2: this is naive with all the worse things happening case3: *posts something awful* reply3: oh you’re surprised? / ok so what are you doing about it?

Is poor old James McGrath still sitting alone there in the ABC studios in the dark waiting for the pre-polling to come in? 😎 #blesshiscottonsocks

LAGA DYGA

No one thinks the Harry Potter series will be some TERF parable. That's not the objection. People don't like the idea of further enriching an obsessive anti-trans weirdo who will spend her money attacking trans rights and trans people worldwide.

Bye bye Dutton, hello everyone else still working here.

Perhaps Albo will feel secure enough to start growing a spine now.

Absolutely cackling at Dutton losing his seat.

I’m unreasonably excited to use my new cpap tonight.

capitalism is a system that wants you to spend money but doesn't want to let you have money

I think that's just called a Nazi.

shouldn't the vampires have been called neck romancers

I wish we got a three day weekend every week.
