I’ll be spending less time around here than usual for the foreseeable future. Got a date for my degree examination and it’s unpleasantly close
Still studying for my degree examination. Have deleted both bluesky and twitter apps to avoid timewasting, but I’m still on tumblr and discord if you feel like saying hi. Please pray for me and/or give me the name of that etsy witch 🙏

google’s ai overview lies once again. “No credible reports of anyone spitting on Pinochet’s coffin” it claims, followed by three news articles reporting General Prat’s grandson spitting on his coffin
Feel free to metaphorically or literally spit on the coffins of warmongers. It’s a noble tradition

This cute (and anatomically correct) little pipe clay Roman dog was discovered in Bath close to the temple of Sulis Minerva. In Roman religion, dogs were associated with the deities Diana and Aesculapius. #FindsFriday

One of the plus sides of being Chilean is that there’s little drama involved when awful people die. We’ve been there, done that, and in the case of the grandson of one of Pinochet’s victims —an army general who he had murdered by car bomb in Buenos Aires— queued for hours just to spit oh his coffin

Shameful to see a creator fired off a book and the whole series immediately cancelled on the same day because she was glib about the murder of someone who famously said that people like her should be stoned to death.

I feel it is my responsibility as your mainstream comic book friend to further explain that what dc is doing to Gretchen is unprecedented
They haven’t only cancelled the series, they are refunding the comics that are already created and recalling the issue that is already sold.

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:

A wonderful initiative by the Archaeological Park of Pompeii inviting visitors to visit a few houses by night. It’s an incredibly evocative experience as from the depths of darkness, light glows from rooms as if someone is at home.

Annyone in Maryland areas whomst can help?
Really looking for anyone with bottle baby experience who could take on up to 5 2-week old kittens (or two 3 week old kittens). Things with mama Shiva are just not stabilizing and she is beginning to neglect the kittens and I am going to have to step in. I am beyond capacity, overwhelmed, exhausted.

Composite photographs of child laborers — Lewis Hine, 1913.
Made while Hine travelled the U.S. for the National Child Labor Committee documenting child labor — in factories, textile mills, canneries, and coal mines.
