Juliet Brando

The first time I heard it on the radio, I burst into tears.

The model of Sekhmet, the Egyptian Goddess I've been building from Polymer clay, with the head of a lioness and body of a woman on a throne. She still has no hands, but now she has fangs on her lower jaw

She's growing teeth.

Guys I hate to say this but the war that doesn’t make sense that happened for no reason isn’t going perfectly

42 fires in listed or significant buildings. That really is a lot.

Massive career pivot but respect.

To be left dead by attacks is the natural state of the Middle Easterner, while in the Western culture (also Israel somehow) being killed is a major taboo.

Four colourful sticks of rock (sweets) with the names of seaside towns inside

Roses are red,
But never buy rock,
In Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

wait so there’s a major oil crisis and they’re gonna fly seven reps to meet each other so they can diplomatically avoid saying that one of them caused this whole ass crisis single-handedly?

because that could be an email

I probably saw this from high up. Also, I knew an Olive Guppy Olivette who was in this show and she said one of the cast members was a dick.

Not a bad day to be living in a country that generates 99% of its energy via renewable resources.

"Cross-sex" hormones is a delibrately weaponized misnomer like biological sex IMO.

They are generally present in all sexes in different proportions.

They managed to keep the fact they were transphobic thugs out of the headline. Almost impressive.

I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

Japanese onomatopoeia is very cute. My faves are ガブガブ (gabu gabu) gulping a drink ピューピュー (pyuu pyuu) strong wind ピーポー (piipoo) police car noise and the cartoonish ラブラブ— (raburabu) head over heels in love. Morning!

this is like

the thesis statement of our times

So…we’re NOT invading to protect the Iranians who protested the regime, like Trump claimed?

Now we’re going to kill them all instead?

Land of the free, home of the brave, slaughtering primary age schoolgirls and then putting out an official video featuring Adam Driver roaring "MOAR" and Tom Cruise dancing.

#USA #trump

I think we should allow Trump to choose Iran’s next leader as long as the rest of us can choose America’s. Because it’s clearly far too important a job to be left in the hands of Americans.

"SHIT"
"FUCK"
"NO"
"FUCK"
"SHIT"
"FUCK"

I hate it when somebody in a movie has a problem. Can’t they just have a nice time

If you refer to Iranians as "Arabs" or don't know how the Islamic Republic came to be (spoiler alert - western intervention to secure access to oil) please stop posting your opinion on the current war in the Middle East. I don't know it all but I know the basics and it's really not simple.

Apart from anything else here. Surrey isn't the county of 'red faced Brexiteers'. It voted (52-48 lol) for Remain! An inability to understand this in a Tory heartland is I think was an early example of why the Tories are up shit creek now.

Here’s an easy mnemonic to help you remember the 26 letters of the alphabet

Okay, so I am definitely going to have to go freelance, at least for a while. So, if anyone has any advice on actually building up and finding freelance policy and comms works, including providing media and advocacy training, campaign planning and strategy please let me know.

A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi. Fisk used aerial photos and maps to estimate the past and then-present channels.

Rivers are living beings.

The song Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus makes me so incredibly, disproportionately, needlessly angry I genuinely cannot describe it. I would happily drown everyone involved in its creation.

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about [spits out feathers]. For some of us, it's the Great Emu War of 1932.

Cats on a thatch for #caturday! 🐈‍⬛🐈

Tiny Niece got to meet some very famous, extremely lovely humans earlier, but was starstruck by a film star dog.

Last week, she had so many questions about how a dog could also be an actor, and today they got to meet. It was beautiful.
