I feel about Bylines the same way I felt about the Canary: just because a media outlet writes things you wish to believe are true, it doesn't mean those things are factually accurate or indeed the whole picture. Every media outlet shapes stories & it's wise to utilise critical thinking w all of them

today's cards (using the mini test deck, taken at an angle so you can see the Nice Texture): something broken left you bereft? where can you find comfort? if you were a sad child, how would you treat yourself? nice food, a blanket, a cuddle? parent yourself gently & you'll gain perspective #tarotsky

"Japanese participants were more likely to frame not having children as increasingly normalized and justifiable via entrenched gender inequalities whereas American participants were more likely to emphasize the socially isolating and publicly contested nature of childlessness"
Super cool! The newest issue of Social Forces has a theme of "gendered lives: inequality across the life course." My article on childlessness in Japan and the U.S. is included, as well as many articles I can't wait to read 🤩 academic.oup.com/sf/issue/105...
I'll soon be taking some prints to a gallery to sell, so if you want either "Mugwort" or "Birth" now's your chance to buy before I take all remaining prints of them off sale. They're both on this page, £22 each, scroll down! shop.frankduffy.co.uk

Don't give up! There are RX meds that help a lot of people manage symptoms and you deserve to try them to see if they help you. If your doctor only gaslights it may be worth trying🧵
Myth #6: Doctors cannot help people with ME/CFS. ❌ There are no FDA-approved treatments yet, but doctors can help manage symptoms like poor sleep, pain, and heart issues. Swipe to see what the science shows. ➡️ Part 6 of our six-part Myth vs. Fact series. #MECFS

here's the version with the background shop.frankduffy.co.uk/product/cigf...
but mostly we wrap the soil that feeds us in a duvet of leafmould & mulch & let it rest its long slow sleep in the dark half of the year. Knowing your soil is witchcraft, knowing the weeds that grow through the cracks is witchcraft, knowing the hedgerows that the birds glimpse through is witchcraft.

It's so lush, feels all warm and gooey hearing people's responses to the little deck, & bit blown away by all the orders suddenly coming in 🥹 TYSM for all the shares, I really appreciate it!
ANYWAY ICYMI I received the test deck of the little tarot, it's adorable. The box is a little marked (this is what happens when you excitedly take your new deck to the queer night at the local pub) so I'll have to 'shop that out for the website, but super stoked with these little dudes #tarotsky

"Men are an embarrassing cringe gender" - this is true (go on, label me @moderation.bsky.app, I dare you)
Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.
thinking about the fact that I read a couple of paragraphs in @suchmayer.northsky.social's Space Crone collection of Ursula K Le Guin's essays that made me realise how wrong my ex was for me, & then, to hammer home the point, my brain had me dream that I read those paragraphs to his face

So an Idea that i woke up with is that I should do timelapse videos of me linocutting & printing & then upload them as youtube shorts. I'm in two minds about this because a) Making Content is always much more work than I think it's going to be & b) google is evil. any thoughts or advice very welcome
