Can you stop using AI please? Its indifference to facts and devastating environmental footprint make it something people who care about evidence and the environment should totally avoid.
Good luck to the both of them
Katsu & Kitkat are not happy about being taken for their bottom surgery (They're finally being neutered)
I own a trans pride flag, a Europe flag, and a few Palestinian flags.
You’re great. So ner.
Furry Happy Monsters - I saw this on late night TV while drifting in and out of pain-coloured sleep and thought I'd hallucinated it for a decade until YouTube was invented. youtu.be/J9G1FhQUnSo?...
Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House wtaf
Find the River, from Automatic for the People, though honestly most of that album. Reminds me so much of my university years.
Words applicable to so much these days. Keir Starmer? I’d rather have bees!
For ways to find patterns, The Foldline is an indie pattern aggregator shop, good for browsing: thefoldline.com And for reviews / project logs, Patternreview.com is old-school and Threadloop.app is modern / indie stuff - useful to see what pattern users liked.
the big 4 sewing pattern brands are being sold off for parts. if you want patterns, get them *now*. (if you're secretly a zillionaire who likes sewing patterns, call the liquidator immediately with your chequebook) craftindustryalliance.org/parent-compa...

Hit me with your skeevy ableist memes about drinking white Zinfandel
I’d completely forgotten I ordered this! That’s my next read sorted, then.
Transgender as a word is as old as me. (Well, older, as it takes a while for lexicographers to notice anything.) I do not claim credit for string cheese.
voting for a political party who openly wants to strip away your rights is self-harm
Starmer encouraging the racists. Sex Matters TERF appointed at number 10. Yvette Cooper turning the thumbscrews on immigration. I knew they'd be horrific. I knew. But I didn't know they'd be this relentlessly horrific every fucking day.
Thank you! Especially proud of this given how ropey my mental health has been this year. (If it ever got significantly better I’d be either unstoppable or insufferable!)
Eeeeee thank youuuu 🫠
Another distinction in a law module. Anyone might think I’m good at this stuff or something.
This is satire, right? Tell me this is satire?
Dick Grayson debuted as Robin in April 1940, became Nightwing July 1984, so June 2028 will mark the dickquinox, the exact point he was Robin and Nightwing for the same amount of time.
I don’t hope they get prison time because don’t believe in imprisonment as punishment. But community service repainting roundabouts would be appropriate.
Alexandra Lanes decided not to apply after reading negative reviews by notorious critic Alexandra Lanes, it has been alleged.
If I had a pound for every cyclist on the Internet complaining about perennial pain I’d have a small number of pounds.
Hardy perineal.
Come on, they’ve not yet had a conference to decide their policies on loose cannons, face spouting, and getting one over people they don’t like.
Off-peck return.
the only minority this government cares about is nazis
Folk putting flags up know its what the racists do and they know its going to be seen as intimidatory. Knowing that this is the case, why else would they be doing it @mrjamesob.bsky.social? You can't put a St. George cross up without knowing that's what you're doing.
This image of Europe vs post BREXIT UK works on so many levels.
Even though I already knew all of this to be good and true, it was still a surprise just how quickly that page loaded.
I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.
See it, say it, SHUT IT!
How much luck do you get if birds eat it?
The only real discourse is init system discourse. I realise this is Linux discourse discourse. I’m mostly sorry.
I was right about Your Party. Disgusting transphobia!
The best one I saw wanted to see Scotland in a day. I think there’s just a complete failure of scale.
Pretty ice on the car this morning ❄️
Games might be the hardest bit there tbh.
There's a lot that people assume is easy about Windows just because they've already spent years learning it.
Do they have lots of complex things they need to be compatible with or is it just things like Word documents, web browsers, yadda? If the latter, a Linux distro will do just fine and probably these days be less frustrating than Windows 11.
Hello non-American cis lesbians! Would you consider travelling to the USA right now for a convention? Would you feel safe with the visa process and border control given all of what's happening? Do I know anyone who has been recently? One of my friends is deliberating and would like your thoughts
If they can recognise a venlafaxine from the capsules, yeah. It’s something I talk freely about as it’s neither a secret, nor something to hide or be ashamed of. I’ve been on one sort of antidepressant or other for thirty years.
Bother. Oh well, it's probably based in the states anyway so goodness knows what laws apply.
ALL THE CHATTY CORVIDS WHERE DO THEY ALL COME FROM
NE VER MORE MORE MORE Says the raven in my room By my door door door It's symbolic of my gloom Of my loss, of my grief I was in love but bae dropped dead Now this bird's words are brief It just repeats one word I dread (Usually 'I misread this as' replies are an anathema to me but Guy gets a pass)
Dunno if your site allows you to set this, but at least in the UK prices should be advertised including VAT. (From this you may infer I have ordered some of your fine wares ☺️)
Them: "are you a man or a woman?" Me: "I'm me" Them: "but, what's in your pants?" Me:
Bridget Phillipson wants to 'reform' the ECHR and specifically the right to private and family life. This is what Starmer's war on refugees and trans people has come to. Labour MPs need to get rid of him and the rest of his crypto-fash crew. #noconfidenceinStarmer
* Some of my earliest writings used other tenses: "She's misling us," "What if we misle him?" etc. I still mourn the loss of this verb. #WriteSky
May i offer you the verb “to infrare”? It’s something they do with light. (Me, saying the 2-syllable word “infrared” in science class.)
It wouldn’t be equitable to require him to actually know stuff? 😉
Definitely prefer the Kraft though I suspect the ice blue might look better IRL than it does in the photo
Noooo! You’re twisting my words 😥😉
The radio had someone talking about “Corbyn’s new outfit” and I couldn’t help but wonder what that should be. Suggestions?
It is FUNNY but it is also PAINFUL
HOLLY 😱
I heard that the best type of coffin is one that tries to fight you. Remains undefeated.
My one brown, the Dominant Industries Autumn Forest, is particularly joyful. And the bottle is cute too.
This is all in English sf, of course. I wonder what non-English sf has done.
The demonyms page of that site has also: earthan, earther, earthian, earthite, earthling, earthman, earthsider, terranian, terrene, terrestrial, and terrestrian. Terran is honestly better than all of those. Especially terrene which should be a sort of pâté.
Dunno. Some authors have called earth Tellus (a poetic Latin word for earth) and inhabitants by analogy Tellurians. Trek goes for “Earth” and “humans”. Fascinatingly the sf dictionary has an 1828 citation for tellurian. sfdictionary.com/view/120/tel...
Yes, though I really need to teach my ink buying impulse that there are other colours than red, green, and purple! Not that I mind as such but there is a joy gap between “buy shiny new ink” and “wait, I bought another reddish purple”
I’m sure my MP would really appreciate a handwritten snotogram in a variety of sparkly colours!
Inks assemble!
Mithridatism! Building up resistance for when your enemies try to poison you with potatoes!
…and how they make you regret it? 😏
Shocked, shocked I tell you, that there is hypocrisy in that establishment.
Sorry; it wasn’t supposed to be a link. Space is next to . on this iPhone keyboard and if you make a DNS name bsky turns it into a link behind your back.
A long time ago (or so it feels now) in a lockdown not very far away, I learned all the words to "It's the end of the world as we know it" so that @slamdunc.bsky.social & I could do this for a Bastard English zoom session: youtu.be/YywNUqbJF5s?...
He's terrible on every level. Worse than I ever imagined possible.
Much better to regret stuff you did than stuff you didn’t.
Potatoes are still poisonous. We just have bred them to decrease the levels of solanine and other toxins in them so they’re mostly safe as long as you don’t eat them when green or sprouting.
Minesweeper without micro transactions can be found at www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/pu... The author is a well off man in a tech company but he’s a friend so please don’t tell him to fuck off.
I spotted this graphic which I think makes it clear. I discussed my concern with the Director General at an event in Parliament and i expect this petition will reach the threshold for debate in Parliament
Resistance is futile! You will be dopamined and serotonined and noradrenalined. (Medication of Borg seeks copywriter)
I first heard of medlars when @loreandordure.com made bletted medlar jam.
My pills resemble resistors.
That surprises me, as in general signage here doesn’t cite its authority; it’s automatically effective if placed legally under the Road Traffic Acts. (It was notable to me in Portugal that signs there explicitly mention the decree-law they are enforcing.)
Pretty girls both! Love the floral dress especially. It’s very “such a nice girl, would you like a scone”
Ultimately it matters not if your constitution is written or unwritten or codified or uncodified… …once those in power do not recognise political or legal rules higher than their own personal or partisan advantage it is constitutional ‘game over’. Constitutions need constitutionalism, most of all.
Very nice and shiny!
No new pictures. Where are you mentally?
@annaroseshadow.bsky.social as the person closest to the target market for robotic banana delivery, what do you reckon?
Integer numbers of girlfriends only.
1 girlfriend is the base case, so 2 is necessary to prove the inductive step. After that you’re good to infinity girlfriends.
I don't want to dive head first into conspiratorial thinking here but using a video from 2 months ago as proof he isn't dead is almost comically transparent. Like the choices are either Something's Happened or for some reason they want us to believe Something's Happened
I’m still more than a bit proud of having completed Curses.
Awww 😭
Gf who’s a weeble.
“exploit the AI to steal vibe-coders’ crypto” is a perfect summation of our modern tech environment, well done all around
The centrists cannot hold!
When was the first use of the word “vworp” to describe the TARDIS dematerialisation sound?
Can you mute links to particular websites on here? Words in URLs seem not to be considered in muted words.
For the best comparison make it a hotel where they don’t change the sheets or clean the rooms and the bar and restaurant are closed.
Awwwww
Me, looking at timestamp: This seems like a long time to get to the joke Me, watching for 15sec: I am absolutely watching this whole thing
