In the wake of a ceasefire, it’s important that those who can don’t stop talking about Palestinian liberation, a ceasefire is an acute and essential fix but doesn’t resolve the wider issue

That's a lot of sensory stimulation for any dog. Baby Stella did well 🥰

Has Australia moved to the Northern Hemisphere without telling you? 🤔

I'm sorry, you never deserve that 🫂🫂

Aw, that's so sweet.

And even more weirder when you remember that the brain is mostly fat and water that somehow makes its own electrical activity, which is responsible for the weird output. And being a walking pharmacy, in my case, brings a whole other level of weird 😆

When I did GCSE German the German exchange student-teacher that joined us for a term told us the best use for Sauerkraut is to open a jar of it when you are eating outside and it'll keep all tge wasps and bugs away from you.

Tomatoes are the work of the devil and I've lost hours of my life removing them from things. And don't get me started on my annual rant of them being an ingredient in vegetable soup! The moment you add tomatoes to a VEGETABLE soup, it ceases being vegetable soup! Plus it ruins the taste entirely!

Laura @lauranway87.bsky.social · 3h

Right?! Smh.

I completely understand that. There's a prescient-ness to it that in some ways we seem to be moving ever closer to.

Cat flag cap + open shirt + chain = HNG. 😍

Christmas cake always looks delicious but I absolutely hate the taste and texture. I hope yours turns out amazing.

Cryptid mug and Taika explained that only a small number of people had seen the ad and most people denied its existence altogether and the argument over whether the ad really happened had given birth to W&G being designated as Cryptids in NZ.

My NZ cryptid ID test went off the rails then as Taika
