This is one of the most awesome, happy, beautiful things I’ve seen in a while. It’s very worth your time.
When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.
I rarely do this, but here's an account for a block workout to protect yourselves from some serious ick: @thethew.bsky.social Not even going to screenshot the posts, because they're full of misogyny, ableism, and various other bullshittery, so if you go there, content warnings apply.
Corsets. The media makes it look like everyone everywhere was tightlacing all the time, when that was (and is) a niche practice. A well fitted corset, especially made from a historical pattern (shoutout to the Symington exhibition at Leicestershire Coubty Council) can be quite comfy!

There are still a few places available for my 6-Week Book Illustration at @irishwriterscentre.bsky.social in Dublin. It's about communication first, telling a story, not drawing beautiful pictures, so only basic drawing skills are required. irishwriterscentre.ie/courses/book...

sex is a heuristic for describing human dimorphism around a polythetic set of traits with a bimodal distribution, many of which can and do vary over a lifetime. selecting 'Sex At Birth' as the sole determinant of 'Biological Sex' in law as the UK has done is ideological, not scientific.
Biologist Ari Berkowitz has set out how there is no consistent definition of human biological sex, and that even sex chromosomes are not a binary indicator https://www.wearequeeraf.com/understand-the-lgbtqia-news-what-are-the-challenges-facing-queer-journalism/#spotlight-biology-is-multidimensional
