A headline from the Sun newspaper reading "Screaming Gays Bring Commons To Halt!"

🧵 It’s 🏳️‍🌈LGBT+ History month in the UK 🏳️‍🌈. So let me take you back to a time when life for gay people in this country was very different indeed.

Yes, happy to talk if @sitrws.bsky.social is the sort of thing they're looking for.

Friday Night History Season 4, "Dragon Ascendant," Episode 14: A Wagtail's Audacity keywords: Date Masamune, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, kyoto, samurai, katana, sengoku, tohoku, fukushima, japan, travel

Gamō Ujisato levels a charge of treason. A golden cross comes before a silver-tongued excuse about wagtails. And Date Masamune again manages to charm, bewilder, and lobby his way out of disaster. #DragonAscendant Ep. 15, "A Wagtail's Audacity" buff.ly/zmwwees #podcasts #JapaneseHistory

Anyone want a pretty fundraising Pride print?

Back in the day, if you insulted a knight you'd go to jail.

And if you insulted a nobleman, you'd just diss a peer.

Rowling is advocating taking photos of strangers in toilets and disseminating them.

Yet she actually sued someone twenty years ago for taking a photo of her kid.

Rowling really should have known this already given she actually sued someone twenty years ago for taking a photo of her kid.

I don't think she's talking about the actual police: just policing the toilets like a vigilante might

I can see one or two advantages to this idea, as well as several colossal reasons we should drop the idea right now

This heat wave is absolutely bone crushing. I'm so glad I installed central air two years ago.

But if you're without AC, or you're dealing with a heat wave for the first time because it's reaching areas that don't historically get this hot, here are a few tips from my years of poverty in a desert:

Shape note score: "Let some droppings fall on me / Even me, even me / Let some droppings fall on me / Let thy mercy fall on me / Even me, even me / Let some droppings fall on me. While thou'rt calling, call on me. / Even me, even me. / Let some droppings fall on me / Speak the word of power to me / Even me, even me / Let some droppings fall on me." - and a photo of a statue with a seagull crapping on its head

"Let some droppings fall on me"

Hymn texts which might have been better phrased.

“I asked chatgpt” Oh yeah well I married Isis on the fifth day of may but I could not hold on to her very long so I cut off my hair and road straightaway to the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong

There is not a single reason or excuse to use Generative AI, not in its present form or even if ever. There is NONE. NONE. Its simply laziness and wanting the convenience of having a facsimile, a McDonald's cheeseburger of art slop in your lap.

An ad for Fantasy Unlimited from the November 1982 issue of Dragon Magazine. It's headed "LOOK THE PART YOU PLAY" above a drawing of a man wearing a star-spangled robe and wizard hat, making the sign of the horns. It advertises a Complete Wizard Outfit (Robe, Reversible Hat, Belt, Pouch) for $70, as well as Copper Bracers for $12 each and a Reversible Hooded Cape for $60. Shoulder to ankle and armpit to wrist measurements are needed. Allow 8 weeks for delivery.

a) imagine what a power move it would be to show up at your AD&D™ table wearing a $70 Complete Wizard Outfit
2) $70 in 1982 works out to $228 today

also the entire security and cloud engineering team is anarchist trans furries.

I love the pun on "fake seal" there

This never gets old

Photo of Senator Alex Padilla, being handcuffed on the ground after approaching Sec. Kristi Noem.

This is disgusting.

If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

The rapping mayor of NYC versus Donald Trump feels like a very 90s movie premise

i somehow only just now learned that Zohran Mamdani made a rap song and recorded a music video... AND ITS A BOP??!? youtu.be/iQVsVNPkPmE?...

Are they going to be Secret Service?

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:

“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

Judy. Blume.
Pay attention to this bigotry. This is exactly the playbook Rs want to enact nationwide: declare anything they don't like "porn" (including anything about queer/trans folx or BIPOC history/themes) and then ban it, fine anyone who stocks the books, and worse. FL peeps, fight this!

If you see this, share a skeleton
