White Men Can't Jump : reminding you that Haymitch was absolutely pretty enough to pimp out after he won the Hunger Games.

First messy breakup of pride month… @myvoicemychoice.bsky.social

If you’re overstimulated, please report to the Bluesky cooldown tent where we have orange slices and someone who doesn’t understand the concept of jokes waiting for you

#TodayInQueerHistory June 5 (2004) Noël Mamère, Mayor of Bègles celebrates France's 1st same-sex wedding, arguing there was nothing to stop the union being legal. "For me, this act is the continuation of a struggle I have fought for a long time; for equal rights and against all discrimination."

this is the best day since Four Seasons Total Landscaping

The Terrible Tower of Terror crumbled. "Thus ends an Era," the Elf said. "Aye," the Dwarf nodded. "I reckon the Age of Man begins now." "And our kin, old friend, and all magic, will fade." "Wait, what?" said the Human. "It is Fated." "Then I'll fight Fate." "You have my axe!" "And my bow!"

I was talking about this with my students yesterday—throughout Western Europe, Nazism is treated in public spaces and memorials as a nightmare, as horror that must never be repeated. If slavery and Jim Crow received the same commemoration in the US, we'd be a very different country.

gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.

Really, don't want to be annoying, but the reason people are surprised is that no-one was asking historians. Stop thinking in terms of democracy politics, this is a palace intrigue.

It's weird how so many British Asians who work for Nigel Farage end up hating him. Wonder what it could be about him. It's such a fucking mystery.

"I never thought I'd become THAT meme" sobs man who etc

Elon Musk, the genius visionary who could not predict that the guy who has betrayed every person he has ever met would betray him

This is absolutely america's Piggate.

You don't need to be great at everything. Specialize instead. Become a well respected moss collector, or try folding life-sized origami lions and animating them with dark magic.

I bet if legendary got $0.10 for every use of the Let them Fight gif from Godzilla v Kong today they’d make more money than they did from the movie.

the president wont see your cheap dunks against jeffery epstein . But your friends who have ties to state sponsored pedophilia will

please tell me federal agents are on the way to big balls’ office right now

And THIS is why we don’t privatize this shit, thank you.

I'd argue the "generational divide" is more of a wealth divide and I only say that because SOMEONE who owns a castle has a limitless supply of money to throw at anyone who wants to be a little bit transphobic as a treat.

That's at least three articles this week in which GC women in later middle age moan about younger feminists not agreeing with them - Stock,Bindel and Rustin - plus Suzanne Moore moaning about Paris being on television.

Absolutely this: If competitive sport can’t survive contact with the reality of non-binary sex, maybe competitive sport is the problem and we should abolish that rather than trying to make trans people disappear?

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson. Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa! [BIG ASS THREAD]
