Alt for four images: 1. A person in a black robe and a tall brown felt hat stands facing a line of riot police holding shields labeled “Polis.” The person is being sprayed with pepper spray, and the air is filled with mist and debris. The person wears a gas mask and stands with a composed posture amid the chaos. 2. The same person in black robes and a tall brown felt hat stands calmly with arms folded while being sprayed with pepper spray by riot police. The individual wears a gas mask and stands on a wet street littered with water bottles. A line of police in helmets and shields labeled “Polis” stands in the background. 3. A person wearing a black robe, gas mask, and tall brown felt hat stands with arms outstretched in front of a row of riot police. The police hold transparent shields marked “Polis” and “Çevik Kuvvet.” Smoke fills the air, and the scene is illuminated by strong overhead lights. 4. A similar scene shows the same person in a dramatic pose with arms wide open and head tilted back, wearing the same attire. Smoke surrounds the area, and the line of riot police with shields labeled “Polis” and “Çevik Kuvvet” remains in the background. Debris is scattered on the ground.

Interesting article.
From Edward Coke's Institutes of the Laws of England (1628). “Every Heire is either a male or female. And an hermaphrodite, that is both male & female...shall be heire, either as male or female…An hermaphrodite may purchase according to that sexe which prevaileth.”

Imagine my delight when my stripper glamour was relevant to the storyline. What can I say? Moo Deng and I put on a good show. #FFXIV

Look at how happy this moray eel is to see you.

Hundreds of protesters gather outside Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to demand it roll back restrictions on transgender care for youth:

I like how in FFXIV, the available responses are either lawful good or chaotic evil. (Also, I call this my Robin Hood in denim look.)

I’m dyingggggg

A Tumblr thread about how "you do people a favor by accepting their help" and how accepting help is a critical part of community.

Posting this here as a reminder to myself.

And with that, I've convinced my family chat to move from WhatsApp to Signal. Meta is off my phone, bitches!

Freeing the nipple on this drawing now that Meta isn’t here to swing around its big shadow banning bat. It’s a goal of mine to go back to more figure drawing sessions this year. 💜

I don’t think this one was on sale! Their greenhouse is beautiful with koi and turtles and plants like this. It’s Rainforest Flora in Torrance!

Watering day 🪴 #Houseplants

A leaf many times the size of my human hand.

At my local nursery 🖐🏻🪴

Without a doubt I would wear this outfit in real life.

"Who, me? I couldn't have possibly murdered my husband!"

Moo Deng has not left my side.

In the last couple of months, I've gotten into Final Fantasy XIV. (I am a World of Warcraft refugee from circa 2009.) The glamours are my favorite part. I call this my "widowed Beyoncé with dark work yet to do" outfit. Plus, the baby hippo a random player gave me my first week. 🥹

I made sourdough, I watched Tiger King, I played Among Us and Golf With Your Friends. The one pandemic hobby that’s stuck with me to this day is #houseplants. See: how this #pothos started a year ago vs how it’s going now.

The last time I regularly used twitter was before 2010 and it terrifies me now more than ever. But I heard this is a nice place to be so hello. 👋🏻
