probably the most frustrating thing for me about working on fallen london is that whenever i see the phrase "liberation of night" i can't help reading it the way michael stipe sings "imitation of life" in the rem song of the same name

I saw a live birthed harbor seal pup for the first time in my life today. I thought it would be horrifying because I have a weak stomach, but it turned to UNGODLY CUTE very fast!
Using this thread for some moments in the minutes after. All shot on my z8, edited on phone for now. 🦭 🦑

Nadia won Big Brother in 2004. Hayley Cropper was a beloved character on Coronation Street. Trans people were not an enigmatic, vaguely sinister abstract in the UK prior to 2015. A lot of work has been done by the media to get them to that point, and to make hatred against them more permissible.
This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old
a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500

broke down how I built the CRT effects on hypertext.tv entirely using vanilla CSS 🧵
hey! thanks :)
there are a few different effects going on here, and they're all made with vanilla CSS. i'll try to break them down.
this is what the general markup looks like. there's a television wrapper with a few overlay layers: the two we're interested in are .screen-blur and .scanlines!

I am one of the most published academics on the childhood social transition, with 5 peer reviewed articles that relate to the topic.
There is so much evidence of benefit of social transition.
There is no evidence of harm. Not one jot.
This will literally kill trans kids. No exaggeration.

I’ve purchased an absolute stunner of a crochet pattern and I’m a bit concerned it’s going to be too tricky / fiddly for me to get into.

Spent the weekend recording strings at Strongroom for new Rumour Cubes tracks (for a given value of ‘new’) and it was so great, it’s really given me a lift mentally.

That guardian article about McSweeny’s departure amid briefings about Starmer fighting any leadership challenge, briefings against Streeting etc, didn’t all that happen months ago? That’s not why he’s resigned? Have they published the wrong story?

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane
