coincidentally re: the vegan tampon thing i have been seeing some instagram reels where some guy ragebaits by doing tampon taste tests in a university library and even gives one to his female friend across the desk to try

who defines vegan though is the thing, bc if it's the animal cruelty people it's definitely also about like animal testing, or they will rope in whether kept bees were used to pollinate the cotton, that sort of thing

alistair pomegranate 'lappy' percival @lappypercival.bsky.social · 14h

one thing i remain undecided on is that if the norms remain that the royal family's names should be replaced by their language equivalent in the various languages (lukas > lucas in english for example) should i turn jakob into jacob or james
