One especially for Gothic Charm School 🎃:

It's not as if there's more than the width of a sheet of paper between the assorted wings of the ALNP these days anyway!

I'd love to see the ALP of Hawke and Keating in federal politics again, even with their massively bad decisions but I can't see that ever happening again.

This just might be a dumb joke but, please god, let it be real.

Growing up gay in 90s Scotland. It was a sin.

I worked everyday for 25 years to change that.

Then the anti-trans mob came along and they throw the same insults & rhetoric I heard growing up.

For everything I longed to do, no matter when or where or who…it’s once again a sin.

Native bats should be celebrated like other Australian wildlife, ecologist says abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…

I've seen this in one friend in particular and it is so damaging it should be considered a disability in itself. Always pushing yourself past your limits, running yourself down, making rash choices because you're 'behind in life' & you need to catch up. Exhausting.

Walk into the old forest on a moonless night.
Pick an unnamed path and get lost.
If the forest accepts you, you are free.
If it rejects you, that's ok.
The rest of us will continue to make awkward conversation with you in line at the market.

and he’ll probably still make it home for dinner time

This weekend, Hurricane Hilary will be moving over the driest parts of the USA.

Hilary will bring 5-10 inches (125-250mm) of rain to places like Palm Springs, Death Valley and Las Vegas.

That's 2-3 *years* worth of rain in 2-3 days.

None of this has ever happened before.

I bought THORNHEDGE this morning & dropped the book I was reading in favor of reading it immediately. A 10/10 choice. Beautiful, tender, and dreadful: a perfect fairy tale, honestly.

Also, it's the 52nd book I've read in 2023, which means it puts me at my annual reading goal. <3

If you can't manage to mask for half an hour in the grocery store, boy howdy do you not have the resolve to survive the myriad of crises on their way with climate change and end stage capitalism.

TALL!CAT IS TALL!

Neurodivergent screening tests will be like 'do you struggle with unstructured environments' and ND people will be like 'no I simply build the structures I require, at great personal effort, and then teach them to everyone else' and once again

People who plan to Vote No ask yourself this: is standing with neo-Nazis, fascists and racists the right place to stand? The YES side has no fascists, the NO side has fascists. To me that's an easy choice.
