Jo the Hat

Omg

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Two scientists look at a monitor attached to a large apparatus consisting of pipes, tanks, vessels and hoses. The first scientist says "I don't get it. The reaction is running perfectly, but we can't account for 7% of the heat." The other says "Have you Asked the Professor?" The first replies "We're not supposed To disturb him when He's in his office." On the other side of the apparatus, one of the pipes goes through a wall into another room where it warms the water for a hot tub in which the professor relaxes.

In less than one week, most of the code is already in place to make the overworld of my RPG completely accessible to blind players! If I'm just one person, @AAA wtf is your excuse?

The only reason we are alive to debate this is because Stanislav Petrov decided not to trust a computer.

Reminder that if you see something horrific, there is good evidence that playing Tetris as soon as possible helps.

Giving yourself PTSD from seeing photos or film clips doesn’t help anyone.

Let's get menancing.

Respect for the Kallax

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.

The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

Hello, I'm Gabby, fosterer & re-homer of cats. After a friend passed in Dec, we took in their precious babies. Typically, we don't struggle to find homes but this time we've hit a wall. These cats are AMAZING & we will deliver to anywhere in the UK for a perfect home where they're loved forever.

I'm so sorry you have to experience such vileness.

I don't want you dead! she says, calm as the sun.

I want all the people like you to be gone.
I don't want you there in the places I go;
I don't understand, and I don't want to know.

That's worse than you wanting me dead, I replied.

You're overreacting, she cheerfully lied.

A linoprint of a south-east Asian scene (Thailand to be precise). A shallow river between densely tree lined banks runs past a cloud covered mountain.

I have mentioned working on this new reduction print a couple of times, but because I am rubbish at marketing I have failed to spell out in clear terms that now it is finished you can buy it if you wish. Well anyway you can.

“This party’s a bit shit, isn’t it?”: the sexiest things you can say to your autistic partner, ranked If you’ve got an autistic partner, chances are their raw sexual magnetism makes it hard to think about anything other than jumping their vitamin-D-deficient bones. But if you’re looking to spice…

We just want to live happy little lives, fall in love with whoever, or not, eat nice food, sleep in a nice bed in a home we feel safe in, have kids, or not, and be our authentic selves.

Why is everyone with any amount of power fucking deranged?
