Kittyhawk (she/her)

Omg I need to come over and obsess over the perfection of this build and the mini figs!!

Optional alternative: find a stash of Romance books in the games/books room of the campground/b&b/motel your family is holidaying in. (Especially good if you have already read all the books you brought with you!)

These are beautiful and I really need someone to write Apocalypse Girlfriends!

Been struggling to work out what I did in 2025 and this post reminded me. I had my extremely dysfunctional thyroid removed. Absolutely the right thing to do. My stupid meatsack body has felt so much better without that disaster organ. 10/10 would do again. But would like 2026 to have no surgery pls.

I may not be religious but I have taken this definition of sin to heart and I try very hard not to treat people as things.

Granny Weatherwax in Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett:
“… And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”

Later in the same conversation:
“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes . . .”
“But they starts with thinking about people as things . . . ”

I haven’t watched the horny hockey show (yet) but I both watched and read Red White and Royal Blue and how dare this person call that a desexed story. Those boys fuck a LOT (admittedly more in the book).

It’s not easy to get a diagnosis. And accommodations don’t always have to be used to be helpful.

We knew our youngest child was ADHD when they were 7. It has taken until age 15 to get a diagnosis. Their yearly exams went much more smoothly with accommodations (small room & rest breaks). Rest breaks were only needed in a few exams, but knowing they could take a break took so much pressure off.

When it’s over 35C and the humidity is as close to 100% as it can be without actually raining, I could probably be persuaded that snow at Christmas time was made up by corporations who wanted to sell us cozy romance movies

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024

INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Calendar Evenr: Remind Imogen to take MEDIUM suitcase to Conflux Sunday 20 Sep 2026 from 2.30pm to 3.30pm

I’ve got you covered!

It's important to get your COVID booster, I need to remind you all that the shot is not a sterilizing vaccine. It's going to help you not be hospitalized & potentially die.

Please get your vaccines, but also you need to mask up. You need to wear quality respirator. A vaccine alone is not enough.

This is an excellent piece and illustrates that here in Australia we need to be vigilant and fight to preserve the trans healthcare that we have.

I have lived in Australia all my life. We don’t have rabies here, and yet I am terrified of rabies. TBH the fact that I’m a biologist who worked for several years in a lab studying zoonotic diseases may have amplified my fear, but I read about rabies as a child and the fear started then.

I have LC so I’m somewhat relieved that I have learned enough about COVID to get 100%. But I only knew the answer to the question about Sweden because of @ifbookspod.bsky.social !

This has inspired me to make a Little Guy or 2 this weekend

Hugs. The urge to tell things to your mum will become less frequent but in my experience it will never pass.

Personally I hope we find out that what Gollum was doing while wandering about looking for the ring was either solving a series of cozy murders (Precious We Wrotes) or performing in an incompetent hobbit amateur dramatic troupe (The Ring that Goes Wrong)

Perfect!!

This pic has the perfect expression for a reaction image

@tkingfisher.com understands cockatoos.
In Sydney, they have learned how to operate drinking fountains.
In Queensland, they stopped a rocket from launching.

Indiana Jones will be played by a rotating cast of three adjuncts who answer to two different associate deans

What is the point of having a constitution if it allows this? “Humans should not be subjected to torture” is an extremely basic principle that should never have to be explained or justified.

My mum baked all our bread when I was growing up and I frequently helped her. And yet I am the only one of the 4 kids who just isn’t into making homemade bread. It’s probably a good thing since I’m the one who ended up gluten intolerant!

kind of obsessed with 2025 pride merch...I'm calling it cowardcore.

As a teen I was the only non Jewish kid in my circle of friends. They would occasionally call me a goy, always in a joking way. There was absolutely nothing offensive about it. (If I had gone to school more recently, I’m sure my friends would have referred to me as their emotional support goy.)

Drop everything and read this story RIGHT NOW!! Thank you Effie!

Eat the Ones You Love - Sarah Maria Griffin A strange suburban gothic novel with sentient plants, minimum wage jobs, and cute queer florists. Enough said, I've always wanted Little Pet Shop of Horrors to be 70% more gay. The Starving Saints - Caitlin Starling This latest release by a personal favorite is a bizarre medieval horror includes a sapphic triad, bacchanalian cannibalism, and... bees?! Starling is an instant-preorder author for me, and should be for everyone else, too. When the Tides Held the Moon -Venessa Vida Kelley Having just finished When "Brooklyn Was Queer", discovering a beautifully designed and illustrated queer novel about a Nuyorican blacksmith and merman on Coney Island just seemed like kismet. Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsh P. Johnson -Tourmaline Marsha's name has been purged from the Stonewall National Monument's website despite being the most pivotal figure of the riot that led to crucial advancements in the fight for queer rights in the United States. This biography is a long over-due and timely must-read no matter who you are. Atmosphere -Taylor Jenkins Reid Unlike "The Collector's Piece," this book is actually real and coming to bookshelves near you on June 3. P'll be honest, I haven't read anything by her yet, but the sheer fact that someone used Al to make up a fake new release for her when she actually HAS A REAL ONE is enough for this to be an instant addition to my TBR pile. The Potency of Ungovernable Impulses - Malka Older The latest installment of The Investigations of Mossa and Pleiti comes out June 10th. "Sapphic gaslamp sci-fi noir" is quite a mouthful, but it's also most of my favorite things all in a handful of easily portable novellas, and I cannot recommend this series enough.

Here’s MY Summer 2025 reading list. I used fucking Canva to do a better job in less than thirty minutes than that shitty AI article did, and I used 99% less potable water to do so.
Cannot believe people are actually being paid to do LESS work than this.

I do not spew profanities. I enunciate them clearly, like a fucking lady.
