pro bono bonobo, rando nobo hobo (enjoyer of corny rhymes) grouch with a poetry problem

will admit i find a fit with dreams of infinite energy like slow moving light are we but looked at differently so is everything baryonic (the literal feckin iconic way before Sonic)

back from early morning hike — no Bigfoot sightings to report :( but three deer and a hoot owl and possibly a skunk (or striped cat) did not linger to find out

Grandad rumbles in the corner. He ain't so keen on talk, 'cept for arcane curses & some nonsense about orcs. He got paintings of dragons, bloodstained helms along his shelf. Chainmail he claims is magick fabricated by some elf. I says, where'd all that magic go? And he points to meself. #inkMine

the delete skeet the one ya won’t repeat keeps the heat turned low slow wins the race cuz rabbits give chace too soon and turtles know turtles they say way down below but i don’t know

who knew a robots.txt would some day be a statement of one’s values but here we are… please keep honest bots honest and disallow responsibly. the data center you prevent could be in yer neighborhood

Useful term: "the urinary leash" (originally "the bladder's leash," coined by a group of scholars in New Zealand) refers to the way the lack of public women's bathrooms in Victorian England kept women from going too far from their homes. Trans bathroom laws serve the same function.

I think folks can on some level intuit what's going on here, but it's important to spell it out too: UK transphobes who think themselves left of center believe trans people are cis people who simply need to stop being trans. It very easily squares the circle for them and lets them sleep at night.

Eye-wateringly stupid defence from Rowling’s team here - ‘She does not support legal actions aimed at harming transgender people.’ - Really? So that £70,000 towards the bathroom ban was by accident? The JKR Women’s Fund was made by an impersonator? At least have the spine to admit you want us dead

Water, energy, broadband regulators fail to do enough for vulnerable people. They fail everyone. Regulators are conflicted by the revolving doors and a duty to promote growth of the sector. Need customer-elected directors on regulatory bodies. Let customers vote on exec pay.

Water, energy and broadband regulators fail to do enough for vulnerable people - Committees - UK Parliament

Water, energy and broadband regulators should do more to fulfil their critical role in supporting consumers struggling to afford their bills. In a new report, following an inquiry informed by evidence...

fear of loss the albatross around their necks neither a sea captain nor a pirate will I be fear the real enemy shout at the sea mothers will hear and draw near their little ones ancient lines pointing home trees and forests seen at once the river of perspective flows now is the time 🪃

mad as a cucumber.. the number of times 20 goes into bananas equals the time it takes for the train leaving Boston to derail on account of bluefish love, earthquakes

what seems vs. what is ain’t no one’s biz and certainly ain’t his gain some viz instead of chasing jiz the indivisible power of one beneath a rising sun free of drift, rift, or grift. humans doing what humans do. no machines running the show. no efficiency to harness down below. now is the time. ⏰

Something deeply *sad* about it too when their membership of a marginalised community (or two) very much puts them among the "Muggle-born" in Rowling's class eugenics, making this horrible evidence of how deeply the class solidarity of the chatterati has been graved into them to override that.

subtweet replete: eye of the needle for them would be to unwind that graving, setting themselves free of the bone man’s power, slipping through the net like water (never the fish they seek)

just subtweeting HD: It was one hell of a tip jar by then… In 1961, Time Out had already been released and Dave was righteously fulfilling his dreams of what well designed living space looks like… Take Five alone earned him enough for a custom designed house.

And they tell those kids to disdain as Muggles any kid who's been told they're *not* special, that great things are *not* expected of them, any of their peers raised with society writing them off. Society is right, the books say. If they were special, they'd be recognised. Those are just Muggles.
