This guy reminds me of some weirdo I argued with on lj ad infinitum because he thought women should be taught they have an obligation to give men sex and that it wasn't fair that women controlled all the sex.

Finished After the Forest by Kell Woods. A little bit about fairy tales and a lot more about loss and pain and grief and war. It took me an unnaturally long time but I enjoyed it in the end. 📚💙

I'm tired of this timeline. Can we get another weasel over at CERN please?

Today's #DailySong is from one of my favourite synthwave bands. If you enjoy this one you might like Light Years as well. open.spotify.com/track/2rSgzj...

The first summer herbs. A giant pile of Swiss mint, a bit of Greek mountain tea and a few chives, a handful of roses (Sophie's perpetual) and some rosemary, oregano, and lemon balm at the back. Most to go to my son, the rest to be tied for drying or turned into rose sugar.

We had some scaremongering through the door about how we HAD to vote Labour or the Tories would sneak back in. Yeah, nah. Labour can get tae fuck with that. I don't get to vote, but if they did I wouldn't be voting for their transphobic neoliberal bullcrap. Why vote for Tory Sans?

I just had a completely seedless apple. Are we doing this now? Seedless apples?

Every xennial faerie porn fan's origin story:

This is an awesome effort by the Belfast Eastercon's GoHs in support of trans rights in the UK and South Africa. And there's some cool stuff!

Today's #DailySong if you need some soothing. open.spotify.com/track/7G9mNC...

Absolute scenes here! I just went to sip tea, and my hand wobbled due to earlier shark punching, and I splattered some tea in my laptop keyboard, and I freaked out and dropped my tea trying to wipe it up, and the mug broke, and the tea landed in the power strip, which tripped the circuit breaker.

Pro tip: If you pick up three ratchet straps securing your bed cover to your garden bed, look for the fourth before mowing. In totally unrelated news, my fucking hand hurts. Ow.
