she/her. I'm into sewing, fashion, costuming, museum design & curation, history, sci-fi/fantasy, film, archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, space, dinosaurs, and travel. I don't auto-followback. Always punch Nazis, healthcare is a right, eat the rich.

I'm really just here to follow people now twitter is a hellscape, but I am a real person not a bot. I'm into sewing, fashion, costuming, history, archaeology, linguistics, space, dinosaurs, and travel. Always punch Nazis, healthcare is a right and that includes abortions, and honestly, eat the rich.

Deeply correct take, can't agree hard enough.

I have had such a hard time with people in the tiling section of shops, they never seem to know what tile works for which purposes and most of it is displayed in the wrong section. 'This tile can't be walked on, so we've shown it on a floor; that one is too slippery to walk on, so it's in a shower.'

I just got a set that had been returned without the box so were well discounted, they do a sale on their returns occasionally so you might find a deal. Have only just unpacked them so can't say how I like them yet, but rahaeli has mentioned them several times on here so I decided it was worth a try!

If it helps, Lord of the Flies is actually only about what British public-school-boys do to each other. The one time we know of where there was a group of schoolboys shipwrecked on a deserted island, they took great care of each other. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongan_...

Oh yikes! Just came back from time away, I'm so sorry you're not doing well. Repeating what others have said, there are absolutely rescues that have the right dogs- there are even some rescues specific to one breed, so if you figure out ones you don't react to, you can maybe look into that?

Thank you SO much for doing this. I know it gives you a lot of grief, but you make this website better for other people every day, they should honestly be paying you for being on here.

Big brands really check everywhere, I knew a guy who got a takedown notice from Kellogs because he put an image of Tony the Tiger in the header on his geocities page about learning how to be a puppeteer.

Also in Ireland, although it's also referred to there as 'a fine soft day', which always makes me happy. And at times surprisingly damp, as the penetrating power of the mizzle over a few hours is more than one expects.

Is anyone else's following feed suddenly full of people they don't follow? Never had this before, but today it's like 80% randoms and ony 20% people I follow.

OMG yes. I also don't have the shelf space for hardcover books, I can barely handle the stupid now-standard trade paperback size. I WANT to pre-order, so I wish at least they'd let me pre-order the paperback at the same time, even if it'll take longer to arrive.

My strongest book-related belief is that the paperback should come first and then the hardback after for people who want a fancy edition.

I am absolutely confident that they understand you had a lot of important things to deal with at the time and were no more than mildly irritated (if that), and also that they will be extremely happy if you send thanks now.

For real. I stopped trying to report leaks because Thames Water wants to make sure I live nearby when I do it, and like, they make a big deal about how they want to fix leaks but can't figure out where they are, I could be a tourist just trying to be helpful, make this easier!

This is my SIL's ideal house, I suspect, down to the included furniture. I couldn't stand it, it would feel like living in a museum.

My childhood best friends' mother thought 'fart' was one of the worst possible cursewords, just as bad as 'fuck'. We had to say 'poot' at their place.

It was TWO YEARS after I moved over here before I figured that out! Everything else I could easily identify with generic name, but not that. Just, why?
