Academic, feminist, queer, likes walking, books, & overthinking culture. Gender, sexuality, food, history of the body, E.F. Benson, the Earl of Rochester, but this will probably be old houses and queer nonsense. Sorry.

It's a lovely house
Oooh so it is!
I was assuming a certain amount of redecoration
A large Regency house. Two sisters named Emilia and Charlotte talk on an upper floor. "Mister Blackwell has come to call again." says Emilia as she looks out of the window "Oh, how I despise his uncouth manners and electric bicycle!" Charlotte says "Sister, you will end up a spinster if you insist on a historically accurate suitor." and continues "The romance novel has changed, Emilia, and so must we." Emilia replies "Easy for you to say. You are engaged to the richest werewolf in the county!" They are walking through the house. Charlotte says "Look at Cousin Lucy: She is quite plain, yet made a most advantageous match with the dragon queen of nalthrax." "True." says Emilia opening the door. The tall, solid figure of Miuster Blackwell stands at the door wearing a top hat and tailcoat: "Ladies, I triumphed In my ice hockey match and won ten thousand a year in sponsorship! Miss Emilia, will you be my bride?" he is holding a hockey stick. Emilia swoons into Charlotte's arms.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. Heβs referenced 38,000 times.
I never quite understood why so much of English elite male society is LIKE THAT until I read/listened to @sashagoblin.bsky.social's work on the histories and cultures of the country's top boarding schools and the creation/policing of masculinity and - suddenly - it all made sense
Have found tumblr user probablyday's #woosterposting series. In shock
The AI hype by tech billionaires is inflicting concentrated environmental damage on communities before there is even product demand to offset the capital outlays. If the rollout and stock pumping collapses, then will these entities dump a 2008-style crisis on US taxpayers? Time to slow the rollout.

I am so tired of all the things that we said would happen, and were routinely ignored or dismissed by tech bros and neoliberals for saying would happen, continuing to happen, in exactly the way that we said they would happen.
Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.
Economists generally will agree that a well-designed basic income can support workers without major disincentives.
No study on UBI has shown a meaningful drop in employment, beyond students and new parents. We want those people to focus on school and raising the next gen.
Rachel Reeves: "It is not right that people who don't go to university bear the cost for others to." I don't use local leisure centres and I don't drive, so will I be made exempt for taxation that pays for all that stuff? Or is it only education we'll be going after
There is no reason any of these men need any of this gear. This entire situation is not only dangerous and illegal. It is absurd and stupid.

Usual disclaimer: I Know Language Evolves
To "home in" on something means to focus on it, getting closer.
To "hone" something means to sharpen it like a knife.
"Hone in" isn't really a thing.

THE RUINS!!
Also the swords over the fireplace for convenient home defence!
The thing about being a "lifelong advocate of international law" is you have to have the courage to speak up when itβs broken

Thank you so much! π π
I would love to but I am absolutely snowed under with queer nonsense at the moment! π All support and solidarity to @laurenwrites.bsky.social though - sounds amazing!
My goodness. Choices were Made.

As the trans community have known for a while now - the definition of activist is someone who dares to state they exist
