It's a little bit of a Mandela effect thing, but I recently realized the UK boyband were always officially just called Five, not 5ive.

On 4 May 1976 Rosie Hackett died. She was a nationalist, a trade unionist, and a workers' rights activist. She was only 18 when she led workers at Jacob's Biscuits to strike for better conditions. 1/2

This is straight up nazi shit. The nazis published propaganda on Jewish crime. If this were blackcrimeuk or immigrantcrimeuk everyone would see it for the bigoted shit that it is.

Yeah, my friend asked was it just something my family did but I figured it must have been cultural if we were even able to find a coconut in the supermarket 😅

Just got the email that KNEECAP's September show in Berlin has been cancelled. Germany gon' Germany.

Based on the look my Austrian friend gave me when I mentioned “the Hallowe’en coconut” I am guessing the practice of buying one coconut every October was not a universal experience. Was this tradition unique to pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland or does it still happen or what?

"Be honest -do these pants make my gametes look big?"

I can’t help but think something has gone wrong in your life if you’re spending your morning off work holding a sign that says “Large Gametes”.

"You’re the most important thing to me in the world, Josh. That’s why I asked nearly nothing of you in the lead-up to this wedding and asked that Steph, Mary, Clarissa, and Sarah each spend over five thousand dollars on my bachelorette party in Tulum and bridal shower in Greenwich."

I am waiting for this to make an appearance. I had a mild obsession when I lived in TO.

When you ask someone if they want to split dessert, and they say "nah, but if you get it, I'll have some." ???

Apparently it's #NationalPetDay so that's two cat-related posts in a row for me. I'll aim for something hard-hitting or tantalizing tomorrow. Meanwhile, here's Birdie.

I was going to say New Arirang on Warschauer but I just checked and looks like it closed 😭.
I am a fan of Ssam but I think it's a lil pricey.

lol "a dozen". I'm also a liar.

When I got a cat I swore I wouldn’t do the whole mama-and-baby dynamic. We would strictly be roomies, friends, gal pals. Turns out I'm the kind of person to give my roommate forehead kisses and tell them they’re the best little angel in the world a dozen times a day and that's FINE.

I really miss when the worst thing about Berlin was gentrification and not the fascist suppression of support for Palestine.

I was about to post about this and then saw I already had this precise thought a month ago. Very cool that I forgot the magic formula for an entire month and got literally no work done in that time, very, very cool.

Big Pharma doesn't want you to know this but the solution to your undiagnosed ADHD is cracking a can of Monster Energy Zero and listening to Tycho.
