I walk, and draw and write badly.
My hiking journals aren’t very interesting, but they’re very me.

The black and white geometric mosaic in the tepidarium of the women's bathhouse at #Roman #Herculaneum / #Ercolano
We're not sure what's depicted in the panel closest to the camera but we have a nasty feeling it's a *thingy* 😬

Don’t know about the rest of the world, but in the UK this is simply not true. It’s a conspiracy theory, and it harms charities when those who fall for it stop making donations.
When supermarkets give you the option to round up your shopping "for charity" they are using your donation as a tax write-off. Just donate directly instead.

I cannot stress how highly I agree with this view. I know trans people, I’m not sure how many people against trans do know individuals and see them as a real person rather than an abstract concept.
the problem for transphobes is that at this point nearly everyone has met or at least interacted with a trans person and figured out that they're just people trying to live their lives. this is why they want to ban trans people from existing in public at all costs
11% of Britons say they feel 'very negatively' about trans people which just highlights how much this is a top-down hate project with around 95% of the media hating trans people and a high percentage of MPs.

Next time a maniac commits some atrocity, remember that for every Islamic terrorist there are millions of peaceful Muslims just living a peaceful life.
Or, like this wonderful guy, risking everything to save strangers of a different religion.

This is definitely big need design energy in that he ignores entirely that cheeses are round because it's important for it to dry at an even speed. It would have been much easier historically to make square cheese forms. We don't do that because square cheeses don't age evenly.
