Success! The lady at the other haberdashery believed I was an adult! I now own fabric scissors again!
Got ID-ed trying to buy fabric scissors. Did not have ID because I hadn't been planning to buy anything ID-able. Got told that I should be grateful I still look under 18 at 33. Resisted the urge to kick off. Will go home and order fabric scissors.

Trying to explain to our french coworker why we think Count Binface could win: it's very british to do something 50% because it's funny and 50% out of spite Our french coworker: if your country does politics based on the bantz then you're in a worse state than I thought

Seeing a real uptick in young gay comedians going on podcasts and saying tired biphobic and generally "not like those gays" humour atm. It doesnt make you look cool. You come across as a loser.
Keir Starmer lied through his teeth to become Labour leader. He justified Israeli war crimes, arrested opponents of genocide, attacked pensioners, disabled people and migrants, pocketed freebies, crushed dissent and threw others under the bus to save himself. History damns him
Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.
A recent DnD character portrait commission ✨🌘💧 Lachlan is a water genasi and the player requested "gaudy twink with water and space themed jewelry, think Howl Pendragon but maybe even more so" with an expression of "gay judgement/condescension" 😂

Gary Larson cartoon incident
_____________
In 1987 Gary Larson published a Far Side cartoon of two chimpanzees grooming, in which one discovers a blonde hair and says, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"[127] The Jane Goodall Institute called the cartoon an "atrocity" in a letter drafted by its lawyers to Larson and his syndicate. Goodall, who was in Africa at the time, later found the cartoon amusing.[128]
She went on to name it her favourite depiction of herself in pop culture.[129] Larson offered profits from sales of a shirt featuring the cartoon to the Jane Goodall Institute.[130]
Goodall wrote the preface to The Far Side Gallery 5, detailing her version of the controversy.[131] She praised Larson's creative ideas, which often compare and contrast the behaviour of humans and animals.
In 1988 Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania.[128] While there, he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo.[127][132]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qdtwslusias4dnfmqydvudsq/bafkreiab4xelozcgki2mm2n3wwq5vdhbvve7v76enl6wbonavz6gjc2p7u)
