i'm sure many of the people campaigning for new words for burger and sausage also claim they can't keep track of the number of genders and pronouns they happen upon in everyday life

WOW! The European Parliament just voted to BAN the words 'burger' and 'sausage' when used in sustainable plant-based alternatives. HUGE win for the meat and dairy lobby in the EU, and lots more confusion for consumers if this goes through. Insane!

Let it be known @rogueprintco.bsky.social is an absolute diamond and NOT banned from local libraries for lewd behaviour no matter what rumours you may have heard.

Thank you so much for this, the original was very precious to me and I’m so glad to have a replacement (the badges are a sweet bonus!)

A black coffee mug featuring Becky Cloonan’s “know your skulls” design.

Resting against the mug are two pin badges of a Manticore and Becky Cloonan’s name in the Black Sabbath font.

The mug is a replacement for a broken mug in the quoted skeet

It’s #tolktober day.8 - Fog.

Prompt brought to us by ‘Arcane & Fable’ and ‘Mystic Barbarism’ (both on Instagram)

#Tolktober2025 #LordOfTheRings #MiddleEarth #fog #skulls #creaturedesign #RingsOfPower #Handmade #pencilart #illustration #Fanart #graphiteart #drawing #Portrait #graphitepencil 💀

Through the darkness and fog emerges a skeletal figure. Once a man of great power and purpose, now reduced to just his bones. Wielding a sword and with his old crown still on his head, he’s a relic of a lost time.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Even still - if we ever successfully measured how stupid these dudes are, we’d be blown the fuck away.

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

The tower of the once beautiful Minus Morgul. Smoke and weather swirl around the structure as a Fellbeast flys overhead. Darkness surrounds it all.

Through the trees and undergrowth a pair of eyes appear. Look at you with large eyes. A long, old face becomes visible. Treebeard of Fangorn.

Conflating the actions of Israel, with Jewish people worldwide isn’t only irresponsible, but it’s so deeply stupid that while you’re entitled, by all accounts, to your free speech, you can’t get mad if we shuffle you down to the kids table.

You dumb bitch.

Becky Cloonan - KNOW YOUR SKULLS MUG

It’s a black mug with several screen printed skulls on it.

You might be thinking it’s weird to specify a printing method for a mug, but it was really hard, and we captured incredible detail.

I just need you to know.
