Of course its the mothers fault, isn't it always the mothers fault. Just pile extra blame on women doing the best they fucking can while exhausted. People are going to blame themselves for taking painkillers while pregnant aren't they. Urrgh.

Labour conference to see mass protests over Palestine Action ban At the Labour Party conference this Sunday, Defend Our Juries protesters opposing the proscription of Palestine Action will risk arrest www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

I have been raptured, I'm messaging from heaven, you all suck.

Did another dinoscope. Forgot how to write horoscopes though so half of it went wrong. Despite all that I persisted. Happy birthday if its your birthday today.

I'm not a Versace fan or even a fan of this dress in particular- a 2002 brocade minidress by Donatella, but I adore how they've placed it in this room, the Turkish rooms of the Comte d'Artois. The Count participated in the turquerie craze- the West's fictional and Orientalized

I want to be unemployed in the 80s

tbc, I meant this: If you're autistic? You're great. I wish the medical-industrial-complex, the White House, and our society were more accessible to you. This will remain a pro-autist space. Anyone who has a problem with that is invited to fuck all the way off.

What happens if you're slightly Jewish, dormant to lose an arm Could spare some fat mind, if they want to take that

Two facts: 1: I've had this in my head all day. 2: Every guy in this video is fantastic. music.youtube.com/watch?v=rORq...

Bat is tolerating this mysterious stranger.

Whilst you were online posting I was hanging out with some goats in a gully.

Hulu and Disney plus are now offering 70% off subscriptions, and in response I am offering Hulu and Disney plus 70% off deez nuts.

May or may not have saved this to use as a thirsty response pic.

I'm delighted (well I'm 45 how much more is that going to happen) but also horrified that I was stopped twice today by men asking what music I was listening to. The curse (blessing) of thick bottle glasses has been lifted. Might start wearing fake ones..

Hahahahaha I love my friends

Tried to water the baby asparagus but the spout was blocked so I tried to shove the blockage down into the can but the thing inside shoved back. Computer…enhance. #garden #gardening #oopsfrog

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed the nation’s first bill banning officers from wearing masks. Now let’s work to bring this change nationwide, reach out to your governors and help unmask ICE!

Now we need someone to slowly adjust the picture so each repost looks like the chickens are slowly moving towards the camera

This keeps getting reposted into my feed by different people and instead of being bored now I'm increasingly delighted.

More of this please

Cool map, I'm on top of one of those sodding peaks, rude.

The salvage of The Nauvoo in The Expanse is one of the best bits of spaceship porn I've ever seen. Yeah I'm comfort watching The Expanse again.

I was in France recently and noticed on a carton of Oatly that all the text was in French apart from the unhinged ‘this carton is your friend’ bit, and I had to admire the French going ‘nah you’re ok, don’t worry about translating that bit, we’re good’

speaking of russian language things, can anyone explain to me the purpose of this collection of small metal disks i found in a box with owls painted on it? some are marked in russian and some have the days of the week in english. they look like they're for a machine of some kind. what?

that green chair is my favorite of the chairs. i just really like that 60s bakeliteesque seafoam, see: the dice

A serious-looking Owl presides over the external Christmas decoration of a haberdashery shop in Bath.

just had to block a few folks over on my facebook biz page who were offering to rip off this design for cheap. good old art theft for antifascism. if *you* want a shirt that pays the original artist at Slow Death a fair whack for his work, link is below. this print run ends midnight tonight!

I’m immune to your chicken propaganda.

No YOUR model shot is too ambitious. #trenchcrusade

Also sold some pigeon tit stickers by quietly saying you look the sort that would appreciate some really weird stickers when the right people are looking at my stall. Deeply chuffed, worth all the hours and money it took making them to sell one or two for 50p

good news for fart enthusiasts

First day of The bid Sheep art festival, actually sold a VOTE STEVE sticker to a lovely lady with a female cat called Steve! Met some giant rabbits, escapee goats, piglets, and lots of sheep. All in a good day, hopefully today will be as fun.

Birds with huge breasts eh?

This is a common theme really, why does not one like us just because we are fundamentally unlikeable?

People share way too much info anyway; I know it's really easy to do! But to do it about your kids is ill judged. Of course Meta and similar tech companies will exploit that data. They will send photos of your teen daughter to middle aged men to drive growth. They know what they're doing.

At Created Festival today, up at the Big Sheep, which about three of you are close enough to attend. Do bug if you want some 1 quid tickets, there seem to be some quite good bands playing, though I can't quite work out when. I'm next to a stage, which is deeply problematic because Autism and noise.

Busy printing day

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

happy Friday! buy a book! (trying a more direct marketing approach, let's see how it goes)

Found a box of eyeballs! These pose, wrap round things or are brooches, I love them, they never sell, but perhaps you would like one? #needlefelted #eyeballs #wool
