@virginiam.bsky.social I have to ask: what is the ‘UFO phone sound’?

You better believe that I’m going to be loud if you think using ‘Jap’ to talk about people from Japan isn’t casual racism. If you’re going to keep arguing it isn’t after you’ve been shown why, you’re either terribly ignorant, or comfortable with your racism.

Huh! Thanks! I never thought I’d find something that makes haggis sound appealing, but here we are…

Ok Scottish or Scottish adjacent people I know ( @squilkie.bsky.social , @bethanyblack.bsky.social , @soozuk.bsky.social for instance): what the hell are Neeps?

So I didn’t get a huge tax return this year… it wasn’t tiny either. But it was just the right amount for 16 @tkingfisher.com (Ursula Vernon) novels! Since they’re not all arriving at the same time, the next month is Ursulamas!

Sounds like my maternal Grandma in the last few years of her life. *hugs tight*

Tell me you know nothing about sumo wrestling fans, without saying you know nothing about sumo wrestling fans, by addressing the chat as ‘gentlemen’.

The other option I could think of is a Buy Nothing group, if you’re got the time.

She also publicly agreed when Selma Blair claimed universities are hotbed of indoctrination.

*googles Dunelm* (ah, it’s a shop).

I was going to suggest asking your local cat or dog shelter if they can use them for bedding? Or is it too good quality?

(Funny story, Google tried to convince me there’s Dunelm stores in Australia. Google got Perth, Australia, and Perth, Scotland mixed up.)

What quality are they?

Shall we just cut to the chase and call her Serena Joy?

Large flag in Newtown, CT flying at half staff

The flag down the road from Sandy Hook flying at half staff for the man who demanded that conservatives defend Alex Jones after survivors' families prevailed in their lawsuit against him 🙃

They probably unironically fap to WW2 movies, thinking they’re the good guys.

For some of them, yes. It’s a lot of the same tactics that would have been used to recruit young men back in the 1930s (find out where they’re hanging out, get in their ear, make them feel ‘special’, lean into peer pressure), but these days it’s online.

This week has been a long year. But you know what to do. 😍

Nah, that’s if you get a Lego habit.

It breaks my heart, actually, because I’ve taught most of these boys for the last 7 years (I teach a specialist subject area, so I’ve had them since they started primary school), and until the last year, they’ve been lovely humans.

That man would have happily seen me, and friends and family of mine, dead because we didn’t fit his idea of humanity. He also was quite happy for children like my students to be sacrificed in the name of his warped ideas about possessing firearms. So fuck off with your self-righteous bullcrap.

Extremely tiny and cute snapping turtle

I got yer timeline cleanse right here, folks. A whole clutch of teeny tiny snapping turtle behbehs emerged one at a time from their underground nest and crossed the gravel road while I and a couple other humans watched and made sure they were safe from anyone else coming along.

Ahhhh, that’s sound familiar now…

Wolf's Path by Joyce Chng within a running wolf, four-pawed, howling

Wolf's Path was published in March, 6 months ago! But people are seeing it now.

There is no algorithm here. Like no matter now much I think I am posting my stuff, people are still not seeing them.

What type of pasta is bucatini?

Let me drop a controversial Southern Hemisphere thing here:

Pavlova was invented in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Saaaame

I wish that was a sexual euphemism… but… ‘murica.

These kids are in *primary school* and we’re not even in the USA, (Australia) which shows how far this horrid mindset is being spread. So I’m not sad that there’s one less crass example of humanity influencing my students to be despicable people.

I haven’t been sad about the death of C. Kirk. Currently dealing with a group of *11 year old * boys in my school who have been spouting the bullshit vileness that came out of his mouth (& from Rogan’s, and Tate’s mouth).🧵
