Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.

APPARENTLY one of my students was talking to someone related to the librarian about their English teacher who had a husband & a wife & they didn’t know if it was a throuple situation or what & the librarian laughed & was like oh yeah I know who that is lol & anyway, you gotta keep them guessing imho

Liturgy: Imbolc III My father-in-law, (my adored-gay-ex husband) Steve's dad Mark, died this week. My “father-in-love,” to use the term my sister-in-love, Barb, coined after Steve and I got divorced. It both was and was not expected.

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you king. Killing your brother and marrying his wife only to be haunted by his ghost and poisoned by his son before you manage to kill him with the poisoned blade and no one is left but some bloke named Horatio is how you become king

the threat we’re facing is unlike anything we’ve faced before and to overcome it, every gd one of us is going to have to SPITEFULLY embrace ALL the goodness, ALL the joy, ALL the hope, none of us can afford to sit this fight out, it’s all hands now, go be the voice of love and reason and do it TODAY

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Calling yourself king doesn't make you a king. Marrying the king's daughter, accusing him of crimes before the senate, throwing thim off the senate steps, having your thugs assassinate him, and watching you wife run him over with her chariot is how you become king.

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Having a grandmother that had an affair with a Duke years ago, becoming a Las Vegas entertainer, and then a freak accident takes out the entire royal line is how you become king.

This thread is A+

A matryoshka of historical delight, this thread.

Gonna start asking my students if they used “Cat I farted”

Have a bop to help darkly cope with your fears

There will be EDM remixes about the dark times. -Brecht, if he had lived long enough to encounter EDM

Do you follow Dr. Frizzle @swilua.bsky.social ? You should because she is awesome and cool

Delightful set of re-skeets

The Spotify dropped! open.spotify.com/track/1Ztfx8...

Yes please.

This manages the neat trick of dirty and oddly wholesome all at once. Enjoy!

Told this story to my wife when she got home and concluded, “anyway, that’s why I am WASTED,” and she said yes, that makes a lot of sense tbh

For fans of Letterkenny, The Chocolate Sauce Couple are almost certainly the parents of either McMurray or Mrs McMurray, and they passed on their lack of inhibition to their child.
