I just came up with a title for my Femme Noir AU.
You may applaud and throw flowers, but please, no panties.

Look, idk what's going on but this managed to summon Rach to bsky, so somebody probably fucked up.

Didn't they do the exact same thing to Biden? One minute, he was an addled old man, the next he was actively destroying America.

Wait so am I gonna be the one who suggests we check out the noise in the basement?

Or have a function that is "you have [insert text here] in this cell? Why yes we *can* change the whole row or column to a special color for you automatically. Like conditional formatting for the whole row, why wouldn't we have that? That's silly."

Somewhere in an attic, there's a portrait of Stephen Miller getting prettier.

I'm going to break my own rule; ugliness is an arbitrary construct and not an indicator of character.

Stephen Miller looks exactly like he should. Like hatred is eating him from the inside out until all that's left is a shief of skim milk flesh stretched taut over brittle bird bones.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This morning I turned on my phone only to find that it had changed my user name to Shirley, and when I tried to enter a simple Google query it came out as "Do you like gladiator movies?"

Then I realised it was in Airplane! mode.

GNU Jilly Cooper. Jilly and dad were friends and the only person I’ve known to call him ‘Tel’. Hope they’re both having a big drink somewhere.

Hi.
Tell whatever voice is inside your head that tells you that you can't draw or that you need to do better to shut the fuck up.

This is just a reminder that, in 1631, Robert Barker in London misprinted a famous line of the Holy Bible, namely „Thou shalt commit adultery“.

The forbidden copies with the famous slip sold well, and a few survived in our catalogues. The edition was called the Wicked Bible afterwards. #bookhistory

A page from the 1631 King James (STC 2296) showing detail of Exodus 20. including the famous line with the missing „not“.
