In 2008 I was working as a cruise ship pianist and one day when we docked me and my ents manager went for a walk on the beach when he said the truest thing I've ever heard. We saw someone walking an English Bull Terrier and he said "I don't like those dogs...they look like they're not finished".

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and there’s no toys under the Christmas tree this year. But at least now there aren’t any black wise men in my town’s manger display.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Because it’s not getting reported on enough:

Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun.

He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!

One of the few people who’s been really holding it down was David Tennant, who’s probably lost plenty of opportunities because of it but it probably doesn’t matter if it’s the human rights of his kids on the line
Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

The second is me just being completely on my bullshit about RPG characters possessing their players so they can break the rules of the game, escape their stories and kill the GM.

So, yeah. Enjoy!

Meanwhile when the Sisters of Our Lady Of Charity kindly handed the former Magdalene Laundry on Sean McDermott St back to the State, they hung on to the car park, so they will financially benefit from whatever memorial is eventually put there to the women they enslaved.
'“This is the first land rematriation by Catholic sisters in the history of the country,” Koteles said. “They're setting a precedent for the largest private landowner in the world—the Catholic Church—and that's a huge invitation to healing...”'

my unironic belief is that transition itself is a holy journey

there is so much we learn, so many existentially expansive concepts we both imply and live, such a unique perspective we gain which can only be gained through this process

it hurts so bad but we also live richer lives than most humans

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

I'm taking refuge in fiction: Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek, Tolkien, and the work of @danielomalley.bsky.social
I'm making: knitting, tatting, fanfic, dinner
I'm learning: Japanese, Dutch, Welsh
I'm opening my home and my heart to friends and family- feeding people, listening, giving when I can
Please believe me when I tell you:

Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now.

You are going to need it.

And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing.

The thing that sustains and nourishes you.

That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others.

More present.

like yes he’ll snap at you if you break his concentration or you’re doing an important job badly; but one thing I think both Rathbone and Cumberbatch leaned on a little too heavily for my liking in different ways is that he was also sometimes a jerk TO THE CLIENT, and that I think I object to

Every cable news discussion of Mamdani treats him like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and then cuts to an image of a man who looks like he was designed in a lab to lead all four grandmas at a wedding in the Cupid Shuffle
The gap between the bloodsoaked Jihadi vampire Zohran Mamdani I am reading about from even somewhat mainstream press/politicians and the regular-ass Zohran Mamdani I met like two months ago and chopped it up about 2018-era Onion headlines could not be cleared by Evel Kneivel.
