was just thinking about same sized robes and now so can you

Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate standing next to each other, each wearing white bathrobes. Ibou is about a foot taller and his robe stops a couple inches above his knees and wrists. Robbo's completely hides his hands and nearly touches the floor. He tiny.

I MISS HIM

Kostas, getting the 3 Adidas stripes on the shoulder of his red tshirt into shot, has a huge smile on his face as he hugs two dogs. One dog is dark grey and the other is light brown. They are that kind of decent sized dog with a kind of gently smooshed up face, I forget the name. One of them is smooching him on the mouth.

kostas made adidas do an advert about how great his dogs are I love him so much 🥹 www.instagram.com/reel/DPy1uus...

Kostas Tsimikas sits on the pitch in Roma training gear looking sad. But wait! The caption says, Kostas, your friends are here!

Kostas is being leapt on by his two dogs and voila! He is happy again!

The AI dudes do not sell a product. They sell pitch decks and headlines, for which they are compensated with credulous money. You and I have almost no part in this vaporware ecosystem

A flashback to one of our favourite photos, taken during conservation work on the standing Iguanodon back in 2015, by Lynn Hilton❤️💚

Colour photo. Closeup of the side face of the standing Iguanodon - a fresh pastel spearmint coat of paint. The dirty fingers of a conservator are poking through fresh white teeth

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

Moby Dick makes a much better audiobook than text because it makes it easier to appreciate what it is -- an extremely long, whale-themed standup routine.

A dark red door set within a wooden panelled square of the same colour, in a brick wall. A sign in the door says FISH DOCK.
