Adele, Strolling Through the Keep

my Portuguese isn't great but I think I can work this out

American Constance chain-smokes like it's the source of all her power.

Any fool can trick a bear by playing dead. But to captivate the bear by delivering one of the finest performances of Lear the stage has ever witnessed? That takes real skill.

Me, looking at the Sentinels of the Multiverse weekly oneshot:

Now sometimes I see… ✨spirited✨ TTRPG discourse online. Here’s our chance for ACTION! Support @uwotc-official.bsky.social, SIGN & SHARE their petition! The MTG Arena team recently won a big victory forming their union and community support was a huge part of it! actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

I got to nerd out about one of the random weird things that I know about US law today. Do you know the two things you CANNOT, by law, trade futures on in the United States? Do you want to guess?

God this shit was cool as fuck

she had to hide and be stealth, it’s never mentioned the character is trans but there’s something truly magic in knowing that the next time i rewatch TNG, i will see her there and i will know that someone like me helped make the show that ignited my lifelong love of Star Trek 😭

Me, watching Dracula: Y'see, they have Renfield eating insects to show how morally degenerate he's become. My cat, walking past with half a moth flapping out of her mouth: I just did a number on that litter tray, go deal with it.

on God, I've seen aerial photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with more standing buildings than this

I kinda want to scream every time I hear this drug called "the abortion drug." MIFEPRISTONE HAS MULTIPLE NECESSARY GYNECOLOGICAL USES. Stop fucking ceding ground to anti-abortion ppl by calling it an "abortion drug." Little personal info here:

On a scale of 1-10, one being "reasonable" and ten being "actually fucking batshit," how whacky would it be to try and develop a working knowledge of Middle English before Werewulf comes out?

• OLD ENGLISH: Hwæt. We Gardena in geardagum, / þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon... • MIDDLE ENGLISH: Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote, / The droghte of March hath perced to the roote... • EARLY MODERN ENGLISH: To be, or not to be, that is the Question: / Whether 'tis Nobler in the minde...

You won’t want to hear this but when it comes to kink at Pride I’m afraid we, as a community, in a public place, need to show more restraints.

Dear leopards: chew faster

I was both frustrated and baffled by this, since Old English predates the play (which is set in Italy) by 400 YEARS but apparently they're using Elizabethan English, so I will put my pitchfork and torch back in the shed

The thing I explain to people when I do IRL advocacy work is that trans rights are almost entirely an issue of autonomy, bodily and otherwise. There is no way to remove trans people from the country without also removing other types of autonomy. Abortion, divorce, privacy: it's all the same war.

After 20 years of research, scientists have formally described Mus dumbara, a new spiny mouse species endemic to Sri Lanka’s Knuckles Mountain Range. First lured by burnt coconut in 2004, the elusive rodent highlights the island's overlooked small-mammal biodiversity. Story by Malaka Rodrigo.

As there is a new cat, so is there a new mouse. The cycle is unbroken

Tlingit wereotters referenced in legal filing:

Your regular reminder that if you have ANY reason not to fast on Yom Kippur (and mental health IS HEALTH) -- it's not just "ok" to eat -- you're *commanded* to do so --

Not bad, but this one is my favorite:

Tyme nowe to playe the musique Tyme nowe to lighte the lightes Lo! See the gathered muppets on The Muppet Showe tonighte! Tyme nowe to put on grease-paynte Tyme nowe to dresse up righte Tyme nowe to rayse the curtayne on The Muppet Showe tonighte!

"the author of that harry potter story leads an insane cult that's captured much of the media in this country" is a different person if you're in the UK or the US

Our new paper may be one of coolest studies I've ever done. We show that the structures of visual storytelling in comics aligns with the word order of the languages of the comic authors. Here's what we did... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reveals that ‘Digimon’ is his favorite anime.

I cannot emphasize enough how much of this can be laid at the feet of JKR. Certainly not all of it, but enough

[Benoit Blanc in Hannibal] Mr. Graham I hate to interrupt your psychological pontificatin'but have you considered whence your newly acquired associate with the knack for ostentatious culinary preparation sources his increasingly exotic meat, and its commonality vis a vis our butchered victims?

Happy Bell Riots Days to all who celebrate. #DS9

Scruffy academic digs up box

There's not a lot I want to resurrect from the sixties and seventies, but I do envy the robust Kennedy remediation strategy

Finally have a picture for my “songs about heroin” playlist

You don’t have to worry about trans women in sports. You do have to worry about trans women in your walls, eating a big crumb as a whole meal off a table they made out of a wooden spool, and taking baths in a bottle cap

Star Wars is to be dubbed into Welsh for the first time, with a cast of leading Welsh actors bringing the iconic 1977 film to life yn Gymraeg ahead of its 50th anniversary

I'll reiterate for those with brain damage. I have not said anything about canceling ken Jennings I expressed nothing but frustration. I still do not think ken Jennings should be canceled

#stevenuniverse I've been watching Steven Universe with my partner (husband) recently -- here is my rendition of Lapis. I wanted to draw her in afghan (pashtun) attire because one of the biggest deposits of Lapis Lazuli is found in Afghanistan.

How will Johnny Depp get into character as a terrible man with a litany of evil deeds?

On a scale of 1-10, one being "reasonable" and ten being "actually fucking batshit," how whacky would it be to try and develop a working knowledge of Middle English before Werewulf comes out?
