Basic cliche, goth-adjacent, occasionally bro-ish. Self-help book permanently lodged somewhere uncomfortable.

It shouldn't fall to trans people to explain to cis people why creating laws that effectively amount to "If you have or ever had a penis, you must behave this way; If you have, or ever had a vagina, you must behave this other way" is horrifically dangerous for everyone's rights.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed โ€œfix your hearts or dieโ€ specifically at transphobes. it wasnโ€™t a generic โ€œno mean people allowedโ€ statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Two pairs of beavers released in Cornwall by wildlife trust Wildlife experts say the release is a "landmark" for nature recovering in Cornwall and nationally.

Enjoy a full minute of beavers being released into the wild in Cornwall. These little fluffbutts are the first to swim in these waters in a very, very long time - the last official records of beavers in the wild in England are from the 1300s. BBC buff.ly/BnMwCOx

Artist gains a following with mechanical deep-sea critters | The Asahi Shimbun: Breaking News, Japan News and Analysis MATSUYAMAโ€”The ribbon-like oarfish and the โ€œliving fossilโ€ coelacanth appear even more mysterious with โ€œgutsโ€ made of cogwheels and electric appliance scraps.

Waste to art: childhood anime fan and lifelong crafter Sayuri Mori found a new purpose after raising her daughter. The recycled scrap and 100-yen store finds she once turned into jewellery now become steampunk deep-sea creatures with a growing social media profile

That doesn't contribute to scientific progress. Or make Mr. Sparrow make the face.

Thinking on it, maybe frying chicken in blended crisps might work better. Mr. Sparrow is dubious.

basically, just run a fucking retro night. I would respect DJs who straight up said "this is a retro night". But pretending it isn't because you downloaded one (1) new song since Y2K? stop denying the obvious

Calling Wordpress users. Do any of you use a plugin to save templates for blog posts. . Apparently itโ€™s a thing. But after wasting a day trying to find a non AI word to text plugin I donโ€™t have the strength to go through it again.

Just because you see something, it doesn't mean it was aimed at you. You don't have to take everything that happens in the world personally. Some stuff is just none of your business.

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger.

Please don't post photos of dead children, or videos of dead children, or yell DONT LOOK AWAY. You are sick. Log off. Touch grass. You have PTSD and are inflicting it on us all. If you are not in media/ a conflict researcher/ etc you do NOT need to consume Horrors. Blocking lots right now.
