Wow so this whole 'voting' thing where large numbers of people choose a person who is good or less bad so you don't get a person who is very bad indeed seems to have been, like, kinda working a bit recently? Idk might be something to it, wild idea but you never know, might as well do it I guess

hot take: high fantasy has become too much about wonky palace intrigue and eldritch spectacle. i just want a series of three books where decent folks walk to maybe 15-20 places and describe how they camp, sleep, and eat at each, plus poems in a fake language

I started rereading Lord of the Rings just bc it is something I've read many times before and it's better to do that at 4 AM than think terrible things. But I forgot just how weird it is, esp how much of it is dedicated to lush travel writing about what it is like to walk at different times of day??

The Cybertruck gives me blinding dysphoria because it makes me feel that I, a post-op transsexual woman, must have a really huge dick compared to that guy driving it

Setting grumpy conservative Facebook posts from your older family members in growled vocals to the slowest, most crushingly heavy riffs in existence and calling it OK Doomer

Celtic Frost - Mexican Radio Laibach - Sympathy for the Devil (Dem Teufel zugeneigt) (but also their first cover of it) Sodom - Iron Fist (Mortal Way of Live) Pet Shop Boys - Always on My Mind New York Dolls - Pills (Also: in my mind the Dolls covered Da Doo Run Run and it was brilliant)

Other than Hurt by Johnny Cash and any version of The Sound of Silence, what are your favorite cover versions of famous songs?

(Googles) did the Council of Nicaea have a disco and who got the most shitfaced

Progesterone? I only just met 'er

Can't do the bsky ttrpg because it'll be the same as all other rpgs, viz if I'm not a high-elven mage who is ridiculously femme I will die (Other closeted trans women played girl characters, I played the most suspiciously feminine 'male' characters I could come up with, much like I did irl)

next time! it’s a very well-preserved fresco with a lot of details. there is also this weird depiction of a man wearing a female dress in the month of June - the guide told us that the beard was probably added later in the centuries because it was no longer welcome for a cleric to walk with a woman!

LANA DEL HAY

My phone: Delete unnecessary junk Me: I already had bottom surgery

Missed out on a day of art with a friend today, so here's some from last weekend in Copenhagen: Anne Sophie Petersen, An Evening with Girlfriends (En Aften hos Veninder), Hirschprung Collection, Copenhagen. I love this painting so much.

my motto on this site

nothing can ruin your career if you don't have any 😎

This book is utterly gripping - I tore through it in a few hours. Joyous in spite of dark themes, a wonderfully woven narrative of the lives of young LGBT (all four get a look in) people in Greenland. Published in English as Crimson (UK) and Last Night in Nuuk (USA). An absolute top recommendation.

Me: is there a term which says I like wine but not so problematically as 'wine mom' My brain: Wine buff? Me: implies I know how to talk sensibly about tannins and I really don't My brain: Wine enjoyer Me: urgh too online My brain: Wino Me: hey I'm a woman and -o is a masculine ending, fuck you

Me: doctor, I don't feel well Doctor: do you have a cough? Me: that's the funny thing, it's not so much a cough, it's more of a 'moo' sound Doctor: oh dear, I'm afraid it's... Bovid Me: should I take time off work? Doctor: absolutely, milk it for all its worth

Realising you've been sitting on a plane in front of three nuns in full habit while you've been engagedly reading a novel about lesbian sex with a naked woman and the word HOMO in big letters on the cover

Girls With Tummyaches for Clear and Visible Warnings on Bottles of Sparkling Water

Good vibes only! Yeah, our last vibes player was really shit. Meant we totally bombed when it came to the solo on 'Girl from Ipanema'. We'll never play Loungefest again, the crowd was so un-mellow they were throwing their empty melatonin bottles at the stage. So like I said, good vibes only

FPTP pretty sure that's what I used to use to download Angband

Little moments of joy: looking at my baggage ticket and realising that it, like my boarding card and passport, has my real name on it ✨

FPTP seat results are like hearing a track that's heavily edited and remixed on the album and then hearing the band live and realising they sound nothing like that
