A post by Rebecca Johnson: “I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.” A tumblr respond from mightymur: “The final, brilliant word on passive voice. "She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive "Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I?

A paean to privatised public transport.

Today I had to go from Stockport to Salisbury. So I bought a ticket

Stockport > Bristol > Salisbury

The drive to Stockport should have taken 35 minutes. Satnav said it would take 2 hours, and I'd miss my train.

So I went to Macclesfield, where I found...

A brown rabbit, dynamic picture, oil pastels, long, like a hare, somewhere between, big head, slightly ambiguous legs, green and blue background, big desperate eye

Big head jackrabbit

This is just such a no-brainer win for everybody that I hope that it gets rolled out in a much bigger way.

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

it’s cool how every major tech company has completely abandoned the idea that user experience should matter

'If we could get that ONE taxpayer cohost, THE ELITE RICH, to pay their fair share of taxes, or ANY taxes, really, it's worth more that a trillion dollars to the US economy.'

FTFY OZ.

They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!

I've never read a Jilly Cooper book - they're not written for me and that's fine - but she made an absolute mint and spent it on things like rescuing greyhounds and having a jolly good time. She made the world a better place with the cash and will be mourned.

An example somebody could learn from...

Knickers at half mast today everyone, for Jilly Cooper x

watercolour close up of a red bearded dwarf for one of my members which was requested.

I did a wee picture of Ludo for one of my top tier members. I love Ludo SO much. I've added other examples too. I only have one space left in my commission tier btw. The Enchantment Tier gets an original painting every 3 months at this tier 🙃

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

1/3 🧵I’ll tell you the most calming thing I know to tell you: all that horrible stuff you think about that Trump might do, that scares the shit out of you? Yeah. Go ahead and embrace the fact that a lot of it will probably happen. Why. 1st, it’s already happening…now. 2nd…

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

We’re only 9 months into this presidency and he’s already sending troops from red states into blue states while clearly stating his motives are political.

As a retired US Navy vet, if you are ordered to invade US homes, break their doors, zip-tie kids? - and you do that? YOu should read up on Neuremberg because those are NOT lawful orders, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves. Your families shoulid be ashamed of you. Stand the fuck up.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I defy you to watch this without having a goofy smile on your face by the end.

Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

In my feed, this video is next to Kemi Badenoch's promise to create a UK version of ICE.
