Basic cliche, goth-adjacent, occasionally bro-ish. Self-help book permanently lodged somewhere uncomfortable.

There’s a lovely article here about them. Just if you’re interested. I bet goats have fallen on cars. Probably out of sheer belligerence.

Also, use sources in a way other than 'I don't like this and I'm going to rip it apart.' Citation is praxis. Cite what you love, give it credit, treat it with respect. We are all part of a long tradition.

My fellow trans people who write theory and articles, I am going to say this with love, but also bluntly. You need to cite your sources properly and in your theory books include a works cited/bibliography. It doesn't "make it less accessible for the average reader"-

Mr. Sparrow has amiably sat in the same room while I frown over the drum parts to Burning Inside and Temple of Shite (on repeat) and even made the occasional helpful comment. I may be ruined for all other people, if only because tolerating Creaming Jesus is probably a common hard limit.

Outer space hats: inspiration for a drab Monday.
Who knew space millinery was a thing? Below are two 'outer space hats' by the French designer Hubert de Givenchy (who died in March 2018)...

My poor Throgmorton hates fireworks. Somebody just set a load off next to our building and since we’re on the sixth floor the noise is enormous.

I do not think this is true, in the UK; what we are being told to REMEMBER by the powers that be in politics, media, social discourse etc, is those who served in the British army.
For an Irish person, that is not something one can do (or at least, without serious reservations). 1/

One of the most precious things about Remembrance is that it sets no political tests.
It asks only that we "remember", and that we do so in the silence of our own thoughts.
It doesn't dictate what we remember, how we remember or what lessons we draw.
That's between ourselves and our conscience.🧵

seeking a partner by toning down your eccentricities to become more palatable is a coward's approach. you must make yourself worse & stranger to drive away the weak, the romantic version of bequeathing your haunted mansion to whoever dares spend a night within its walls.

Further, the fact that puberty blockers (which have been used safely for over thirty years) are banned due to a supposed lack of research into their long term effects, while AI is being pushed onto kids despite all evidence suggesting it poses a risk to their wellbeing and even lives, is outrageous.

My trainer is opening his own gym, and it should still be convenient for bakeries, which was not high on his list of priorities, just a happy coincidence. I would follow him anyway, but I do like building an appetite for fancy cake. I will post excitedly about the new place when it opens.

This is the ladies band, btw. Proggressive DeathMetal from the sound of it, quite nice!
Doesn't look like there is an album yet and there are more singles on the streamers than on Bandcamp.

Currently listening to this with tea and a late night snack, really enjoying it. The textures of the sounds feel very satisfying to me.
