Is there a way to get Amazon to stop 'arrives before father's day' messaging?

Atrocious behaviour The Daily Mash, *especially* during Pride month. This is viciously biphobic, bi women have to put up with this crap all the time, especially those in relationships with men, they don't need it from you. If you have a shred of decency, you'll apologise and delete this.

I do not approve of dust. Nasty stuff.

Happy Pride.

All the Pride Lemons (I think??) that I drew a couple of years ago, because I realized I’d never posted them here. Happy Pride Month! 🔪

May the bastard who gave me this lurgy spend the day treading on lego.

I'm doing okay, desperately sad, but I don't feel like I'm being physically torn apart anymore. Overwhelmed by many things, but I have Mara, John and Myrtle. We're getting there.

Myrtle has decided my room is now hers, and she'll graciously share her bed with me.

My dad, the absolute centre of my world, suffered a stroke on Tuesday evening, killing his brain stem. Essentially, he's not there anymore, but basic functions continue. We're waiting for his body to pass, but don't know how long that will take. Wherever he is, I hope he found mum again.

BLASPHEMY! Leave Astarion's perfect buns alone.

Cancer wasn't even on the radar for mum. It came up in bloodwork for something else. We never expected it, and less than two months later, she was gone. Cancer is insidious, it's so easy to miss or dismiss until it's too late.

Always loved Calvin and Hobbes but the day I realised that it wasn't just talking tiger & kid but Calvin's stuffed toy he lives in this alternate reality with while navigating the everyday world was when I understood this is one of the greatest works of literature in history of the English language

Monday wisdom.

This is Deku. He's approximately three stories tall. Shedding season is a public health concern. 14/10

This is good news. And no, poor families do NOT have to have Netflix to access Sesame Street. Netflix will release episodes to PBS the *same day* they drop on Netflix, which is significantly better than the prior deal with HBO, which delayed episodes for 9 MONTHS before porting them over to PBS.

They're talking about "water based" cooking now. Cooking things in water instead of oils. It's soup. They're making soup.

Thank you Philippa. 💜

Apple Books has ALL of the audiobooks in the Murderbot series by @MarthaWells.com on sale. ⭐️Murderbot is a snarky, ace, agender, autistic, badass who just wants to be left alone so that it can watch it’s favorite videos all day 🌈📚🚀 The audiobooks’ narration by Kevin R. Free is also excellent.

Now work out why their brain cells are so much lighter. That's the REAL mystery of ginger cats. www.bbc.com/news/article...

In the ultimate tribute to the Murderbot TV show premiering today, I am going to consume media on Company time.

My poor brain.

I would like to resign from adulting. To whom do I address the letter?

It really is this simple. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Is anyone else a bit miffed that the conclave ended so soon? I was hoping for a wild ride as it overlapped with Eurovision, with Loreen somehow ending up as pope with all the cardinals as backing dancers.

Top tip, freeze grapes to use as ice cubes. Especially nice in lemonade.

Sorry the text of my thinkpiece looked like someone just rolled around on the keyboard for half an hour I used CatGPT

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

I have an online friend else-web who is (hearing) autistic and learning #BritishSignLanguage. Person is struggling with producing and receiving facial expressions as part of BSL. Does anyone know of good advice for #autistic signers who struggle with this and maybe NMF resources to help?

We have reached the time of year where I complain incessantly about it being too warm. Reds are not built for May to September.
