Reasonably pleased with this Black Butler cosplay that was thrown together from clothes I already owned

Human in Victorian suit, jacket, coat, top hat, wearing white gloves, holding butter knives in a fist, behind them is a church window, looking ridiculous.

Bespoke hand-knitted socks, folks. They’re not going to get cosier than this. £26 is not a lot of money for really quite a lot of knitting.

A depressing similarity between the suppression carried out against HK activists & Thai activists is charge stacking while they are in prison to ensure they stay behind bars.

Today Joshua Wong has been hit with another National Security Law charge.

He has been imprison for way too much of his life

Good thread on this. Let’s not let people forget what doing this actually entailed.

KJ Charles @kjcharleswriter.com · Jun 6

Just a quick observation on #Unbound.

Unbound did not steal author royalties because Unbound is not an independent entity. *People* in Unbound made explicit decisions over and over again to funnel received money towards other projects or cash flow or whatever instead of paying author royalties.
