This is perhaps the most pivotal legal fight in the UK's corrupt landscape.

The mirror starts reading a bunch of feminist theory and comes back to the witch like "So my research on the subject got me onto a bit of a different track and I think the real answer is that you need to stop tying your self-worth to beauty standards."

witch: mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all mirror: okay so this is a pretty complicated question that you're dropping on me given that it's quite dependent on a lot of beauty norms which vary significantly over time. you'll have to be more specific to get a good answer

Still this incredible gift from @furlana.bsky.social after many years. It's also our nesting partners and we aren't sure it would ever change; even if it makes telling whose phone is whose confusing at times.

No cheating, post your lock screen! Shocker for mine, I know

I care about women more than men and I'm not going to apologize for it.

Outlined the 'Cheese Project' short story today, now we just need to replace A-E in the dramatis personae...

We really need a response button other than like, or at least the proximity it has to the like button is throwing a like button shaped stress ball directly at the posters head in protest of taking psychic damage. You know, for reasons.

Charly is a persistent hallucinatory companion of nearly 16 years at this point... Does she count? Neither of us are anything like neurotypical for what it's worth; though for a while now Alexis has been wondering if autistic or psychotic best describes them. Either way, coping with the world.

Who here had - or has - an imaginary friend? This strikes me as a particularly likely neurodivergent coping mechanism. Thoughts?

What's it like living in your head?

What's it like living in your head?

It is page one of Don Juan and 'good', 'hood', and 'food' have just been rhymed. Gods help us. @smfmspodcast.bsky.social the things we do for this book club.

Our nesting partner just walked downstairs to find Alexis reading Mesopotamian poetry aloud to Charly, put her noise cancelling headphones on and sat down to wait for food. The joys of having a partner that is genuinely supportive, but also sans any fucks to give.

One has to imagine that having your tentacles neatly packaged in all that bubble wrap must feel very soothing... if you're an Eldrich horror of a pottery vessel.

The long awaited time lapse of how i wrap my tentacle pots for shipping! Lots of bubblewrap around all the limbs then layered up to make a big ball and then secured in the box with paper all around!

#bakedrhymes Many of us Think there is wisdom In patience I am often guilty Of such temporal folly Watching for the moment When finally I allow myself To touch the world I wonder though In times Such as now How much sand From my hourglass Can be measured Through the lenses Of Regret Vs Otiosity

Can BlueSky not shit the bed on notifications in a way that leaves us wondering if something was missed or we're being ignored? Pretty please? The social anxiety demons have enough to work with without all this.

#PortfolioDay Hi! I'm LK. I create hand-drawn ink illustrations filled with little details and two recurring characters: the Samurai and the Cat. 🥷🐈‍⬛ Finding the Cat is optional... ...but most people can't resist. Prints are available here: ko-fi.com/lkcreations/...

No, no, look... Three hours of research, four different conversations with people about it, and nearly taking up an qaddictive habit to practically test it; that's all a perfectly reasonable amount of effort to invest in a single line about a character putting out a cigarette on her own tongue.

The thing nobody tells you about writing is that it drives you fucking insane

Discovered today that after 160~ or so sonnets, yes, we have actually got quite good at them, and it's mostly the whole 'trying to find a fresh angle on some of the deepest emotions of Alexis' core each day' that has become the hard part. Who'd've thought it.

Sometimes the strange thoughts need exorcising, so we submit without further comment: > Tabby and Spaniel. That is all. @smfmspodcast.bsky.social

Well, there is 'Bodonals', McDonald's, from someone's hockey playing kid; 'wonky chonks', Highland Cattle calves, no clue how; 'Fatso', any large moth,a spoken to as an old friend, one tried to move in with us; 'can cook risotto', used to mean possessing a penis, came from Hell's Kitchen, somehow.

hit me with your hyperspecific friend or family slang. when i was a kid my friend once ate too many sour patch kids and then had some ketchup on fries and it was painful because of how acid blasted his tongue was. he told this story a few times, so "a ketchup story" came to mean an oft-repeated tale

Why did you transition? Right answers only. Because some dear friends finally explained that all the reasons Alexis has been given not to were wrong or didn't matter. Charly just manifested basically from nothing as her ephemeral and intersex self though, so she didn't have to work things out.

Ela Bambust 🏳️‍⚧️ (alleged transsexual)@ela-bambust.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Why did you transition. Right answers only. It was the only option

If you're a writer, write "I waited" without saying it. I knew every grain of that door you never again walked through; lost my strength for I sat where you left me; lost my voice for no one else was worth speaking to. In the end I tried to throw my life away, only to discard our old life at last.

Ela Bambust 🏳️‍⚧️ (alleged transsexual)@ela-bambust.bsky.social · 3mo ago

If you're a writer, write "I waited" without saying it. History became legend. Legend became myth. It could not POSSIBLY take this long to ask for directions. I closed my eyes and prepared myself for a nap and/or the dawn of the Third Age, whichever came first.

If humanity ends because of a reduction in rape and an increase in women's autonomy then let it fucking choke in the dirt for all I care.

This is the greatest issue facing our species and it really bothers me that it has been politicized that caring about this is seen as super right wing. Wanting the human race to continue to exist is a progressive view.

It’s my birthday today 🥷🐈‍⬛️ I put part of this year’s drawings on the floor to see where I’ve been going without always noticing. Apparently… I made a lot of sketches. Thank you for being here 🫂🩵 There’s a cat watching over everything somewhere in the picture. Can you spot it? #artsky #sketch

Oh, we definitely understand Odysseus.

The photo does not do it justice, but we now have an @lkcreations.art original on our wall and we couldn't be happier. This piece absolutely caught in our heart strings when we first saw it so much so we exclaimed aloud.

It really is useful that 'TL;DR' scans so nicely as a pair of iambic feet.

It is a delight we find as we return to reading Hecate, that the book has both avoided all the concerns of burn marks, but still taken on a strong smell of wood smoke.
