‘When you kill it, it doesn’t die’: the jellyfish that has cracked the secret of immortality

fun thing I noticed today: apparently one of my adhd symptoms is getting very annoyed by something minor and then arguing with myself about it in my head for like 15 minutes coz i remember i used to do it, but don't remember doing it recently until today when it had been 10+ hours since my meffy

I've been playing Clair Obscur and I was almost ready to start chasing this around

Good to be back from our important research trip exploring the balls of other libraries.

the idea that france 'just' surrendered is poisonous

Oh shut up and fuck off - the British famously lost that battle too and had the advantage of being across a sea for the next few years

i might have to go all Equality Act on the pharmacy that has decided that me giving them a prescription is not sufficient for them to order the item in (or indeed learn that I will want it every month and to just.. order it)

I think we (Brits) probably have a comparative advantage here, we're already accustomed to apologising to people who bump into us

Downplay a book or movie: The Mediocre Gatsby

Just got an advert telling me how I could buy my "first" home and it's utterly depressing. What if I simply don't want to engage with MUST BUY MORE AND MORE PROPERTY FOREVER BECAUSE THATS THE MEANING OF LIFE

Dracula, seeing a man seemingly dead:

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

i wouldn't be bragging about winning an election on a 25% turnout bev

watch out for language like this, by the way: it means they don't see us as women and girls

I despise this country so, so much. I truly hate it and everything about it and everything that it pukes out into the world.

These are the kind of clowns they're quoting in the BBC4 page for this headass "documentary" Oh no, we replaced beating the shit out of kids with medication to keep their mind calm what a fucking travesty🙄 Bitch, die. Fall in a fucking well and die. www.channel4.com/press/news/n... for reference

So neither 2 of the 7 mayor candidates I could stomach voting for would stand much of a chance so voting is literally pointless. At the very most the winner's percentage would go down a tiny bit because my vote would basically go straight in the bin. i don't see the harm in putting it there myself

i know I probably should also go and vote but also that I also probably shouldn't because I'm not in the mood to participate in Britain(tm)

Bad quote, bad coverage, exploiting the equivocation between DWP data on disability, disability benefits themselves, and popular conceptions of disability to deliver a real mess.

> No single person suggests making a logo that resembles an anus, but when everyone's feedback gets incorporated, that's what often emerges. Risk aversion in corporate environments naturally pushes designs toward familiar, "safe" territory, which apparently means anatomical openings.

biggest spider ive ever seen in a house is now in my flat so if you'll excuse me, I'm going to set fire to the building with myself inside.

Last lecture of the year done :D

leaving aside the social security stuff... making "mental health support" contingent on employment is fucking abhorrent?

installing social media on my phone

the only morally and legally correct answer to "will you cut benefits?" is "no because the previous Labour and Tory governments resulted in benefit cuts sufficient that the UK became the first country to be found to be committing grave and systematic human rights abuses of disabled people"
