Someone was surprised to learn that I yeet bugs out instead of gently relocating them. I appreciate the gesture. But in the tropics, seeing bugs where they shouldn't be is an hourly—not weekly thing. You learn what can survive a yeet to save time. In this thread I'm rating animal yeetability.

ich möchte, dass alle, die immer noch Geld für Harry Potter Bücher, Games, Merchandise usw ausgeben und die neue Serie hypen, das wissen. Niemand von uns aus der queeren Community ist überrascht. Für sowas nutzt JKR das Geld, dass IHR ihr zuschaufelt. Just saying.

Hallo any Berliners out there, I’m looking for help from some locals who are steeped in the history of the Weimar theater/Cabaret scene and the places/buildings where it happened, you don’t need to be like a PhD or anything, enthusiasts are cool (I am one too) hmu namebrandlindsay at gmail

Heads up that the “Learn Latin” guy from Twitter has just set up an account on here. If you don’t know, this account is a reactionary alt-right trad bro in all the worst ways. Let’s all preemptively block the bastard & deny him any oxygen. He doesn’t belong here.

People think being small will keep them safe. It won't. The reason we know who Mahmoud Kahlil is is because he was loud. Do you think he's the only person the administration has tried to disappear? He's just one of the first we've noticed

This book is the only one that's actually dark academia! I bought it as an ebook because I couldn't wait for the paperback, then bought the paperback anyway to lend out to friends, then the audiobook to have these melancholy-but-comforting, found-family-oops-murder vibes anywhere I go!

Feels a good day for a thread. So I would like to introduce you to a mostly forgotten, but actually rather pivotal figure in PC history. Meet Dr Portia Isaacson Bass. If it wasn't for something she did in 1981, we'd all still be forced to use IBM (or IBM-licensed) PCs right now. /1

This is fascinating. In 1941 a German textile archaeologist, Karl Schlabow working for a Nazi 'race science' organisation, removed a fragment of the Bayeux Tapestry. That fragment has now been found in the Schleswig-Holstein State Archives, and will soon be repatriated to France.

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.
