The team here at Royal Cornwall Hospital have been fucking brilliant. Every one of them. Overworked and understaffed, they still do it with a smile, a kind word, a joke, and professionalism.

I'm begging every Brit (and anyone else living in a country with a similar system) to vote to protect it

Some nations split their highest courts across different areas of legal responsibility (e.g. courts of cassation vs. constitutional courts), which makes it less likely that the composition of a single court will result in widespread rulings with a specific ideological tenor.

I’m really curious which decent systems you’ve observed, and why they work better, in your estimation.

choose from Therese's autumn fits

An artwork by Spindle of the character Therese, a trans elf woman who has cyan hair. The artwork showcases 4 different autumn outfits (from left to right):
1 - Therese's hair tid up to a circular "bun", while the rest of her hair is down to her butt. She's wearing a white turtleneck, a golden diamond-shaped necklace, and a long beige skirt with a dark leaf pattern. She's also wearing brown boots with a silver accent.

2 - Therese's hair tied up in a big bun. Wearing a white croptop under a long see-through beige cardigan. Red pants with brass-coloured accents, and red leggings that end just above the ankles, as well as red flats with swirly openings.

3 - Same hairstyle as 1 (except without the floating accessory in the hair loop), she's wearing a black scarf, a white and beige checkered shawl with a diamond shape on the front, and a black top underneath. (only the sleeves are visible). She's wearing a yellow skirt with white accents and buttons, and black open heels.

4 - Home fit, hair messy and free. Wearing a multi-coloured capelet/cardigan thing (idk what it is lmao), a black "night gown" with an opening in the front, and red pants with slits on the sides on the bottom. She's also wearing pie-shaped slippers (That Felt made for her!)

“Frog, can you be as wonderful as this?” said Toad as he danced all over the stage.

There was no answer.

Toad dances on the stage, a marvelous performer.

#HorrorWritersChat bods, I have a question and I would like your thoughts.
I am preparing ahead for my weeks and one of the possible subjects is from a day, Intersex Awareness Day.
I am agender but not Intersex.
Do you think it would be appropriate for us to cover a chat about Horror and otherness?

Hey. Breaking my hiatus for a moment. I got into a car accident today. I’m just here to plug my ko-fi bc honestly. I’m not sure how much this is going to be. Physically, other than the chronic pain I already deal with, I’m okay. Mentally is a different story. ko-fi.com/verra

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.

Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Maysara's grandfather needs daily medical support and is in need of help today, please send the campaign link directly to potential supporters if you're not able to donate personally. It really helps out if you can do that. ❤️

Black families tend to have strong preferences against nursing homes, usually driven by concerns of inadequate care. Seeing that Black nursing home patients have significantly worse outcomes, and that they are driven by *within-nursing home* differences in care, confirms this suspicion.

NBER @nber.org · 20h

Nursing home value-added for black patients is 30 percent lower than for white patients, with most of the gap reflecting differences within, rather than across, nursing homes, from Liran Einav, Amy Finkelstein, @nealemahoney.bsky.social, and James C. Okun www.nber.org/papers/w34324

Fashion-wise, this has been the toughest nut to crack so far. As a man who's a fashionista AND wants to honour both places that he considers home (Switzerland & Sicily), his fashion sense is a mixture of 19th century Italian and Swiss clothing.

Lucius is a trans man in his mid-40's of a very refined, fashionable taste. You can TELL this man takes care of himself, from his moustache down to his boots.

Facially, he's a mixture of Julius Belmont, Friedrich Harding, and Arthur Nikisch. Again - dignified and full of resolve.

Artwork of Julius Belmont from the Castlevania series, featuring a distinguished, middle-aged man of red hair and beard, with piercing blue eyes. He wears a fashionable leather coat, a yellow vest, and a red shit. A red scarf is about his neck.

Screenshot from the newest Nosferatu movie, featuring Friedrich Harding, a man dressed in early 1900's clothing, smoking a long, thin, black cigarette.

Picture portrait of the Russian music composer Arthur Nikisch, a middle-aged man who looks very similar to the other men shown in this skeet. He is looking directly into the camera.

Visual design is extremely important to me, even if I write, and not draw. Nailing Lucius' character design has been extremely difficult, so in the future, I'm definitely going to look for an excellent character artist who could help me with that.

Now, the details!

Gree_ @greethewriter.bsky.social · 1d

Alright, back to this!

Who is Lucius, then?

Lucius is a trans man who sought to transition from womanhood to manhood, and found it in the darkest depths of the Womb-Mother that welcomed him into the Shadesilk Denomination. Has been her Dhampir for several centuries now.
