Yeah it's been an indulgent summer and I should probably cut down on the beers and snacks.

You call him a Minotaur, I call him Half Man, Half Brisket x
Fuck this bullshit. White westerners can own their own fucking atrocities, past present and future. Not devastating. Self righteous and arrogant is such a fucking white way.
Now THIS is how you write a story. Devastating.
"What are we, a bunch of BROWN people?" This is white people doing white people shit. Y'all had picnics under our hanging bodies but sure ok. It's like the Taliban.
Now THIS is how you write a story. Devastating.
Exactly this. Weird to read Mike describe a situation identical to mine and briefly feel a bit of comfort from that relatability before it's quickly replaced by just being angry for me *and* for Mike.
I always find it funny when the “autism is overdiagnosed” moral panic begins, because, like, who gives a shit if it is? I’ve heard nothing from the NHS since they diagnosed me, receive zero support, was rejected for PIP. In real terms, my diagnosis means fuck all to anyone except myself.
“Don’t stick your dick in crazy“ is an endorsement of bottoming to crazy
There are more Ketchup sachets than nurses. More operational Furbies than professors of human geography. More dogs named "Digger" than people licensed to operate a JCB. And you ask why people are turning to Reform?
Coming up next: you won't believe where bears shit.
The absolute state of trans ally journalism
A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.
Buy Chloe's pylons before I do. I have no wall space and very little money so you'd be doing me a solid x
On the subject of I’m a person and I need money, but also woo, art, smashing! I do still have lots of pylons in my shop. www.chloecumming.com/inkwater
I find fasting really interesting and love hearing people who do so talking about it. "May your fast be easy and meaningful" is a lovely phrase.
For anyone not aware of why you need to take rabies seriously: this was the 15th. Say she did get infected when she picked it she's got about 5 days left to get the first shot. Without that shot symptoms will kick in around 10 days. Once they do she is 100% going to die in one of the worst ways.
if you’re the white woman who was picking up a bat in downtown minneapolis on hennepin ave between washington & 3rd on 9/15 at noon, the minnesota department of health would like to talk to you because that shit was RABID! i would also like to talk to you because girl, wtf
Some of those that work forces Are the same that fuck horses
FBI Reportedly Loosens Hiring Rules So ‘Prostitution and Bestiality’ Are No Longer ‘Automatic Disqualifiers’
it’s Labor Day, so it’s time for Boots Theory support your local unions, folks, and don’t let the bastards get you down
Men at Arms was not only the first Pratchett I read but the first book I remember reading on my own. It's no wonder I became such a fan of Discworld and also generally the person I am. Foundational. Also probably still my favourite. A fantastic book.
Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms
"Scrappy-Doo physique". Excellent stuff.
if only men had another demographic to talk to 😔
I'm 90% certain that the "England 'til I die" that the masked mob were chanting about is an AI image of a Miss Marple style high street with buses going the wrong way, a dog with 5 legs, and "click Like if you rembemmber pikn'mix" in big letters, that they saw on Facebook this morning.
I also endorse buying Chloe's fantastic art on a Friday(other days also acceptable for buying Chloe's fantastic art but it's Friday today so what're you waiting for?)
I’m absolutely, completely knackered, anxiety has been eating me up at the end of the school holidays. I’m trying to work on new stuff but for now, this post about buying my art on a Friday, which is still a good idea and something I endorse. www.chloecumming.com
Was meant to go to a gig tonight but my friend is ill and has pulled out. Don't fancy a 6 hour round trip on my own so going to miss it. Gutted. This calls for a large amount of grilled meat and strong booze.
I'm not sure anyone could write a more beautiful tribute to someone than what Gillian has been kind enough to share here.
This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”
🎵Her name is April, I have a dream about her 🎵She likes my shell, I got sai class in half an hour 🎵Oh, how she rocks, in Keds and tube socks 🎵But she doesn't know who I am, and she doesn't give a damn about me 🎵'Cause I'm just a teenage turtbag, baby 🎵Yeah I'm just a teenage turtbag, baby etc
