It’s nearly two in the morning and I can hear every second arrow I have ever owned going kachink kachink directly into my chest. I should go to bed. Goodnight nerds.

“You should meditate.” Excuse me I have been avoiding my feelings for a REASON and now that I have marinated in them for a half hour I am SAD.

Medieval Torture Museum connects the dots like chefskiss
Shackles are still used throughout the world to bind the hands and feet of prisoners. The earliest examples date back to the Bronze Age. A modern version of shackles are police handcuffs.

I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.
A small cartoon version of the ceramic Mongolian hedgehog shown in the quoted post. Behind him is the word AHHH in very large lettering. The caption under him says "just keep screaming".

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

It’d be exciting to think that Bluesky has people pretending to be American like Twitter but I honestly don’t think they could talk about Star Trek Deep Space 9 the way it’s expected here without having watched all the episodes a dozen times

Said the phrase 'I'm over the moon!' to a Polish man and he was a little confused and asked what I meant so I explained and when I finished he just shook his head and said 'You're happy but you have no business in space.'

Una’s nickname was the Poopsmith when she went through her explosive-diarrhea-throughout-the-flat phase before we figured out she was allergic to everything.

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.
A painted pink, black and white sign that reads: To Do Build community Shop small and local Speak up and speak out Practice empathy Protect the vulnerable Give to good causes Care for the earth Be brave and loving Investigate Read and listen Abide no fascism

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.
Screenshot of a report on the BBC News website (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy0y07959djo) original headline reads: Trans people could be barred from services based on appearance I have scrubbed out the word Trans The headline is above an image of a sign for toilets from Getty images The BBC staff are: Alison Holt Social affairs editor @AlisonHoltBBC Ewan Somerville Kate Whannel Political reporter

Look out she's gonna digest you with her enzymes.
A small red ink doodle of Annette, with glasses, fangs, a pulsating globule of liquid instead of hair, a large clawed hand and a biological cloud of tiny particles, many of them the "male" symbol. She looks cute and quizzical rather than entirely monstrous.

This quote below is from Tom Murton, who was hired in the 1960s to reform Arkansas' worst prison. The governor fired him less than a year later after he started excavating unmarked graves of murdered inmates and inviting national media to write about it. Ended up running a duck farm.
"Integrity is not a very marketable commodity, and the career crusader is not self-sustaining. The true reformer must accept each challenge with the knowledge that ultimately he will be consumed in the process. The cynic quickly steps forward to pose the question: 'Is it worth it?' And by his answer, each man not only determines his destiny, but also declares his view of man."
