TinTin fan art by Lian Milanesa depicting TinTin in various feminine outfits. In the background, Captain Haddock seated in an easy chair looks up from his newspaper to say, 'What goes on, TinTin? You only needed to disguise yourself as a lady once, but this is the third time you've gone out like that!'

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

It was so popular in MN that to this day I see people wearing Transmission t-shirts at many TC venues. It seems like you're usually DJ'ing the event, too. Surely a coincidence. ;-)

On average, at least one person in this country was shot and killed by the police while you were asleep last night, another was shot and killed during your morning commute, and another will be shot and killed before you finish dinner.

This is America.

As of this morning's update (tracking through 9/20), the number of people killed by the police in the United States this year has crossed 1,000.

This number will continue to rise, as it always does, with no meaningful attempts to slow it by either major party.

This is all still happening.

Police have killed 1,001 people in the U S so far in 2025

Can you make pasta yourself and will it be better than store bought dried? Yes.

Will you spend the entire time cursing and wishing you had bought fresh pasta with all the money you spent on a pasta maker? Very much also yes.

Helen Kennedy @helenkennedy.bsky.social · 2d

Just FYI, I once got into making my own pasta. People will tell you it’s really easy and satisfying and fun. They lie.
