BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

✨️Artists! Quote with long hair✨️

A soft coloured illustration of a decaying dead Rapunzel letting down her hair from the balcony of a tall tower, and a ghost of a slightly tattered man missing an arm floats up and gently touches her on the cheek.
There is a sentence written in Hebrew on the balcony: "רוח רפאים רומנטי רודף את רפונזל הרקובה". It translates to "A romantic ghost haunts rotting Rapunzel", but in the original Hebrew all the words (apart from prepositions) start with the same letter, "Resh". It was part of a series of similarly alliterative illustrations I did way back when, following the letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

anus to about the size of a baseball. you can see
in side his anus. on his left hand he is wearing a
wedding ring and both of his hands are
noticeably oily

"What are you gonna do, set me on fire?"

Woman doused friend in fuel, set him alight for misogynistic comment, court hears

Her anger then flared when Mr Loader told her she should stay in the kitchen making scones where she belonged, and not to go drinking with boys.

She left the table where they were drinking to collect a five-litre container of petrol from her garage, and poured it on Mr Loader before waving around her lighter.

Mr Loader said, "Go on, do it," before Walpole set him on fire.

Ooops the stars aligned (or misaligned) and I'm opening commissions for custom ceramics! Would you like a loaf tray of your pet? A babushcat? For me to remake a piece I made in the past that you missed out on? Or do you have a different idea? Email me and we can discuss it!

a bunch of ceramic plates on a dark green background - most are shaped like cats, curled up or loafing, but there's also a fox and an owl. they're all in tones of orange, brown and greens

a bunch of ceramic plates on a light blue background. Most is shaped liek cats - loafing, curled up or cat faces but there's also a fox and a small dish with a tiger. They're all in tones of blue and white.

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

On Columbus Day, it helps to remember just who the Crusaders were and why they were sent to the New World in the first place.

Spain wanted them gone. Far away. Forever. They were despised.

In 1492, the year Columbus discovered Cuba, Spain had a massive and worsening problem with violent men.

George Gantsoudes @pedsortho.bsky.social · 3d

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....
