Her wee face 🥺 All fingers crossed for a quick recovery

I know a number of people who have been avoiding the latest COVID Vax because of how bad it makes them feel. This protocol of taking antihistimines prior to vaccination has helped folks have milder reactions.

A day of ick from a vaccine is still better than a lifetime of long covid

Folks in the US:

I'm trying out Royal Mail DDP shipping to America this week.

If you want paints/zines from my store, & would be prepared to help me test the service with a custom order, drop me a line!

Show me how you draw armor! 🛡️

Wait they announced the cabinet and he immediately quit? How does this situation keep getting more chaotic

that's not a very nice way to refer to London museums

Friendly kind goblin.

Any other crip protesters got recommendations for gear or solutions? My stuff is mainly kludged together but willing to invest a wee bit in things that might actually help.

(weird moment from today: a fash with a megaphone yelling 'you need a stick to walk! You are a disabled human!'
..... Yes?)

Future access to the Hampstead Heath Bathing Ponds Inviting feedback from pond users, the local community, and stakeholders on how the Kenwood Ladies’, and Highgate Men’s ponds should operate in the future.

Those tedious and mysteriously funded transphobes want to limit access to the Ponds so I’ve had a pleasant 10 mins filling this out on why seeing a variety of women is magic and judging by what people look like or can do is very slippery territory hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.isn

After a month and 30 hours game time, I've finally made it into Act 2 of Silksong!

I'm not *good* at the game, but that just means I get to play it for a really long time

(It's is hard and I would love better accessibility options, but it's just about doable for me)

Me: The Middle-Ages were actually very colorful.
Also me: I only want to paint black and green.

Nooo, that is such a bummer!

Digital illustration of a cat holding a banner of four japanese fish kites. The cat is standing on a hilltop with mountains and clouds in the background. The border is full of similar fish kites with streaming tails and stars.

Oh how I love japanese fish kites! They make me so happy :)

An acrylic painting on cream paper. A quadrupedal creature rests on a blue and tan rocky clifftop. The creature’s pale body and long tail contrasts against a dark sky.

Yet another beast 💙

The fact of the matter is that an attack on a synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur is antisemitic, not antizionist. Give your Jewish friends and neighbours support and don't let the actions of one antisemite stoke even more division

I'm joining #peachtober25 this year so that's my take for day 1 acorn ! I took out my watercolors this time 🙌

Cute drawing of boar with rainbow line work, prancing over hand-lettered title Peachtoboar.

For the last two years I’ve lackadaisically participated in Peachtober with some tiny, rainbow-pencil drawings.

This year I’m less prepared than ever and already behind, but I can’t resist this pun. Let’s go!

Screenshot of Wikipedia page titled "2024-2025 French political crisis". An information box under states "This article is about the 2024–2025 government and political crisis. For the 2023 government crisis which brought down the Borne government, see 2023–2024 French government crisis."

France took months on elections last year, and is on four PMs in 1 year. They've not had a govt for three weeks now. Not exactly the same but the government there is not stable

Plus as said, first one in the US since 2029. Coverage is just skewed

They definitely bulked up the numbers by being like... recipe 100: scrambled eggs. 101: scrambled eggs with anchovies. 102: scrambled eggs with cheese. 103: scrambled eggs with ham etc

Given we didn't find any immediate atrocities inside I do feel like it might have been for shock value, but then who knows, maybe we just didn't hit the gelatin chapter

But also it was still rationing time so maybe this kind of stuff was desirable for a cover, but not useful as a recipe

Having regrets about not buying the set of "300 recipes for eggs/cake/meat/etc" booklets from 1949 we found in a charity shop, but most of all the dessert one that seemed to have pretty reasonable contents but featured some kind of ground meat in jelly dish on the cover

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor
