Dolly Parton, then Tim Curry, then Yayoi Kusama. What a goddamn week.
My feed is wall-to-wall mourning and I think that says a lot about how Dolly Parton lived her life. A great musician and a great person who improved millions of lives.
CALLING LONDONERS 📣 My friend has spent FIVE YEARS developing her play—a queer horror story—and she's hardly sold any tickets. She's travelling down from Leeds and I'm devastated 🥺 The Haunting of Verity Evans, The Hope Theatre, 25th–26th August. I hope you'll join me! Please share if you can't!
I know alligators aren’t traditionally adorable and funny but THIS one is

Since when are candidates allowed to skip counts and result announcements. What the hell.
Content note: Emotional child abuse wrt to that congresstwit and his daughter’s favourite stuffed toy, a blue bunny. My dad once ran after a bus to get my *second* favourite stuffed toy back. My mother darted off a train about to leave to get my stuffed horse back. I can’t even with this.
These are beautiful.
Logandria@logandria.bsky.social · 3w agoIntended as a protest against the state of reproductive healthcare access, the Abortifacients silk scarf is illustrated with (dangerous!) herbs that have been used throughout history to terminate unwanted pregnancies. logandria.com/collections/... $5 from each goes towards abortion funds
I wouldn’t buy an Olivia Rodrigo set purely out of spite — consumerism isn’t activism and it certainly isn’t when the company is Lego — but after a month of endless whining from twits that Lego is making Lego for giiiiirls instead of REAL Lego fans the tipping point is pretty close!
one of my favorite things in the world is when someone hates a generally mundane thing with the sort of white-hot wrath you normally reserve for someone who has murdered your whole family
Andy McKay@korimakoecology.bsky.social · 4w agoIncredible stuff from Avalon Nursery.
A frustrating number of albums were either from 1989 or 2000/1/2 or had 2-4 songs that I absolutely adore but the rest I could take or leave.
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.

I strongly disagreed with Ann Widdecombe on Very Nearly Everything, and also I am, generally speaking, possessed of strong ethical objections to murder. I don’t feel I can wholeheartedly crab rave in these circumstances.
Since the uncredited version is making the rounds, thought I might as well give the original a boost.
Astra Fauna (Sarah Dahlinger) -> Granite State Con is Next!@astrafauna.bsky.social · 2mo agoMy take on the latest #cocktail trend.
Household-wise, this year’s heatwave management has been better than last year’s, because (at last) all the upstairs blinds are fitted, and also they have been lined with reflective foil things for good measure. Knocked off a good five degrees, I think. Still too warm! But not AS BAD.
Back when all the EDS bullshit was kicking in with a vengeance and my sixth form (and brief foray into formal education) decided it would be much more convenient if I was mentally ill, not physically deteriorating, and forced me into therapy, the therapist tried to blame my mother for early weaning.
madeline odent@oldenoughtosay.com · 2mo agoYeah so basically where I’m at with this is, I don’t really have any reason *to* wean froggie and our current setup is pretty sustainable to me- I can skip feeds if we’ve got an evening event or whatever without an issue- so I’m probably gonna keep going as long as he wants to idk
Routinely treating disabled people as untrustworthy wastes very, very large amounts of money.
Frances Ryan@francesryan.bsky.social · 2mo agoHundreds of thousands of disabled people with lifelong conditions are being put through “pointless” benefit reassessments, contrary to official guidance. My exclusive in today’s paper: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Thread! A worthy cause. And also a very cheap way to get burning style questions answered.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 3mo agoHello! 👋 I'm hoping to raise money for two Bay Area cat rescues. If you post a screenshot of you donating at least $20, I will answer a style-related question for you. But first, let me tell you about the rescues, why they're worthy of your support, and hopefully get you to adopt a cat. 🧵
🚨DR UK's Statement on the EHRC's New Code of Practice "We are appalled at implications that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. We will not be used as a loophole in the wider erosion of trans rights." Full statement👇 www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/disabil...
Adventures In Babysitting’s use of The Crystals’ And Then He Kissed Me needledrop is both earlier and better than the Goodfellas one. And also amazing and perfect and possibly still the single most influential piece of media as far as my mental image of femininity goes.
There’s a large patch on my right leg that has been doing some increasingly loud but fortunately intermittent nerve pain thing and honestly I could do without it spending ten seconds five times a day screaming that it’s on fire. It is not on fire. I have checked. Repeatedly.
Re: that whole “disabled life is less dour tragedy fit to pluck abled heartstrings and more absurdist comedy with kafkaesque elements” theory of mine, I don’t usually lose my *entire* vocal range when I have throat sproings.
Had an extremely vicious mid-word throat sproing yesterday. I’m fine, I got everything put back where it’s supposed to be pretty quickly, but lord, the ache and being stuck croaking until it finishes healing, it’s so very tedious. Highly recommend producing collagen that functions properly instead.
The Fatal Dowry/Fair Penitent. But fortunately for me, they’re both extremely out of copyright so the only thing stopping me is procrastination. (And I’m still working out the ending.)

The IP that you’re sure no one cares about but you. I have a list: - Scarecrow and Mrs King - The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh - Doyle’s The Lost World - JAG (not NCIS)
