It’s a mood. It’s a motto. (And I quite liked drawing this one. 😌) #art

🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨 This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️ 👉 www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

endnotes should be illegal

Important thread re: Helen Joyce

my toxic trait is I love campy knife/sword foley effects

can’t even slyly check instagram at work anymore the way it blares music at you unexpectedly

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The murder of Palestinian journalist, based in north Gaza, Hossam Shabat by israel is devastating. Make sure you read this piece, his last filed story. Make sure you stand up and fight against this genocide.

They fucking disappeared Hamdan Ballal. Sheer impunity, knowing the US isn't going to say shit. "As he was being treated in an ambulance, soldiers detained him and a second Palestinian man, the [Center for Jewish Nonviolence] said. It said his whereabouts were now unknown."

See my previous re “proper jobs”. Governments (across the political spectrum) love to tout the product of the UK TV industry but when it comes time to support it they abruptly need to be somewhere else.

Moving Sale Commissions! I am taking a limited number of additional commissions to be made this summer! I am particularly interested in making waistcoats, regency and 1830s stays, banyans and robes, fashion/fantasy boned bodices, and coats* I am also now introducing cravats and vintage ties!

don’t forget your lunch Norman Fucking Rockwell

lmao getting fact checked irl

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

I think there should be reeducation camps for people who get into hadestown or whatever and then claim every piece of media is a straight retelling of the orpheus myth

Why is a Labour government putting Tory peers and conservative historians in charge of the British Museum??

Someone pointed out that influencers use serotonin/dopamine/cortisol/oxytocin like they’re the four humors and now I can’t stop seeing it

academia for years was a career/institution arranged in such a way that it accommodated neurodivergent people essentially without diagnosis: feels like the shift for us is partly more people being diagnosed but also the system becoming more rigid/administrative/marketised and so less accommodating?

these are designed to cause as much harm to the people outside of the vehicle as possible, and I'll reiterate the fact that they should be illegal there is literally no use for these vehicles not better filled by smaller ones, in any situation, let alone on urban streets

being a medievalist is hard because you can be like 😊 I work on eleventh century english embroidery and its reception history 😊 and people will start asking you about battle formations in the wars of the roses

"sewer slide" "unalive" I hate you!!!!!! I hate you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to anyone saying Elon Musk is a genius his business record is actually: chucked out of PayPal killed Twitter sank Tesla chucked out of OpenAI blew up lots of SpaceX rockets *and* in addition he is a Hitler saluting nobhead

I don’t want a big tv in my flat but I want to watch things big. life is a struggle

I’m so sick of ‘natural’ deodorant ads all over every single social media. I don’t want to see strangers’ armpits

Heartbreaking: I’m sooooooooooooo sleepy

a PERMANENT RESIDENT WITH A GREEN CARD dragged away by ICE goons in the night, taken to a cage in New Jersey, with his 8-month-pregnant wife at home not being told why. all for speaking against a genocide. truly horrifying stuff.

Hey remember that time a bunch of losers got mad at a lady who made a video game about depression and it led to several thousand federal employees losing their jobs

Hello. I am trying to get a worldwide response now to a piece of law that's been proposed in Texas. It would make it a felony to be a transgender person. It says bio sex/SAAB but they're also trying to make SAAB and Gender the same through other legislation. No law exists in a vacuum.

dreamy sigh. i love stupid men #alistairtheirin #dao

The “labour” in Labour party originally did not mean “if you can’t work than fuck off suffer and die”. Well it does now.

I guess my birthday present to myself is finishing the front portion of Galadriel’s embroidery!! I’m absolutely delighted with how delicate and otherworldly this gambeson looks now and I am getting out my biggest hoop to start the next sections! #ringsofpower #embroidery #cosplay #tolkien

I hate when museum exhibitions have recreations of historical perfumes and then don’t have them for sale in the gift shop

everything is so shitty, read this story about a genuinely good man who saw he had an opportunity to save millions of lives and threw himself into doing so. the world is full of heroes like him.

I wish we could fast forward through this misogynist tradwife era and just get to the part where someone writes the feminine mystique again.

The Woman Who Demonstrated the Greenhouse Effect Eunice Newton Foote showed that carbon dioxide traps the heat of the sun in 1856, beating the so-called father of the greenhouse effect by at least three years. Why was she forgotten. Because a woman??!!! www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...
