my second favorite speech.
We can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory.

They're all blood, you see.

Hormone connoisseurs of Canadasky: by request I'm being supportive/helpful for a loved one looking for lady HRT to DIY

I can get all the androgens anyone could ever want, but this is the flipside to that world, and I'm not connected

You can DM me about this if you have leads

No questions, please

Matt Vann Epps has gotten cold-feet and gone into hiding from Tennesseans changing the location of his campaign rally from PUCKETT's in Franklin to an UNDISCLOSED location available only after RSVP.

Election isn't even over & he's ALREADY becoming spineless.

one of the best.
Oof. He was truly a master, from Rosenkrantz & Guildenstern to Arcadia to Leopoldstadt—just a lifetime of tremendous, thought-provoking, hilarious work. RIP. www.bbc.com/news/article...

£2.38 for the latest Wyrd Science?

And what's that? you can then get £2.50 off the print copy if you wisely think this would be nice to ostentatiously read in a coffee shop and have other people think you look pretty hot

seems like a pretty decent deal tbh

Screw it let's just give a preview now. If you make things and you want to sell to retailers, here are a few tips:

1. Most retailers need wholesale discounts ~30-50%
2. If you want a small business to take a chance on your product, offer a low order minimum (at first).

go turn it on.
I see people saying

“I would use alt text but I keep forgetting!”

Thankfully, @bsky.app has a setting for that.

- Go to Settings
- Then Accessibility
- Toggle “Require alt text before posting” to the active setting.

Now Bluesky will remind you to add alt text to all of your posts.
