Love this so much, especially the juxtaposition of English folklore paths with an Amazon spokesperson going out of their way to deny a person driving their branded vehicle is an employee.

I'm consistently remembering colours as brighter. interesting.

How IHS is Responding to Terrifying Changes at Amazon - I Heart SapphFic How IHS is Responding to Terrifying Changes at Amazon - TB here. This is going to be a long post, but it's worth reading. The gist of it is that Amazon is up to a bunch of terrifying nonsense, and IHS...

If you're using Amazon Affiliates you may have noticed that some books, specifically erotic and erotic romance titles, are no longer eligible for affiliate income.

@iheartsapphfic.bsky.social noticed this and wrote a full explainer as to what's going on.

Y'all remember #AmazonFail?

Always be your true self as you move through the world.
If you leave a trail of ruined castles, haunted towns, and terrified folk fleeing from your devastating beauty, so be it.

Just seen a post on Threads from someone who is looking for an illustrator who, and I quote, “can do work such as Caravaggio”.

Jeez, people don’t want much do they? 😵‍💫
Probably looking to pay £50 too.

night night hookland.

Goodnight from the Nun’s Walk Shopping Centre, where security guard Len Wall is wondering how such a new building can be so effing haunted. Goodnight from Toby Wrack, walking the long mile of Brighthaven Pier to make embassy with the King-Under-the-Sea. Goodnight from Hookland.

This is the thing I think trolls, etc don't understand: Once I block you I literally never think about you again. Shit, five minutes after I block someone I don't remember who they are or why I blocked them. They simply and literally don't exist for me anymore. If this is a victory for you, fine.

Pancake expert here. The annual rush to harvest pancakes on a single day has extremely deleterious effects on the local pancake ecosystem. By all means pick a few pancakes for your own use, but please leave some on the bush so that it can recover in its own time.

Wow.

Ahhotep I was an ancient Egyptian queen who lived c. 1560–1530 BCE, during the end of the 17th Dynasty and beginning of the 18th. A stela found in Karnak has a section that describes Ahhotep I as ruling Egypt and uniting its people, attributes that are normally reserved for kings. #CelebratingWomen

heh. My dad's fantasy types are very much 'Sigourney Weaver gahhhhhhhh'. My mum (who he pursued single mindedly the second it looked like she might be leaving her husband) is short, stocky-slim and mousy.

never read any bronte, have seen a couple of jane eyres and the tom hardy wuthering heights and the dance/musical Emma Rice version but that's more 'it's an Emma Rice' so skipping this film is fine by me.

No.

Jess Davies: Grok deepfakes – sexual abuse isn’t a bug, it’s a feature | Good Law Project Men using images to abuse women didn’t start with Grok – while tech bros are making money out of online harm, women will keep paying the price, says Jess Davies

"The images were fake. But the loss of power was real. The humiliation was real. The sense of being reduced to a body – something they could manipulate and degrade – was painfully real.

"And this abuse was a warning. A message to women like me: 'This is what happens when you challenge us.'"

Fire all of these people. Immediately.

enjoying the play?

The reason the private sector tends to fuck up public contracts is that it means they can steal public money and not worry about going to jail.

Capita taps Microsoft Copilot to untangle UK pensions mess : Outsourcer tells MPs AI is prioritizing cases as thousands of civil servants face delays

1) Private company given contract to manage public service
2) Private company fucks it up, wastes public money
3) Private company apologizes and promises to use Microsoft's Copilot to fix it

The looming, obvious catastrophe is like the fucking zamboni scene in Deadpool.

Two rulers, unalike in measurements

Why would anyone ever drive a car by people who do not Look At MEASUREMENTS

Susan knows that "I bet you can't do this, it's too hard for children" is in fact a phenomenally effective motivational tactic because one thing they do not lack for is sheer contrary bloody-mindedness

photograph from the 80's of the wrestler Sting wearing a Gold's Gym shirt and sunglasses, leaning against a shelf in a bookstore and positively cheesing at an open copy of The Far Side Gallery 2, a collection of Far Side Cartoons.

what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇

Tweet from a loser that says, "I will have 30k to make a fully AI film, what’s the plan? I’m supposed to have ideas by next week. cmon guys what would you want to see? I like sci-fi but it feels to obvious for AI 🤷‍♂️"

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

more pancake than hobbit, as is right and proper on this day.

Repeal the ban on the use of dihydrogen monoxide in council owned swimming pools.

The first known allusion to the phrase after Jonestown occurred only a few days later, on November 26, when The Clarion-Ledger reported that an Ole Miss Rebels football player said to an opposition player, "If I were one of your fans, I’d drink some Kool-Aid."[16] A few days after that, in December 1978, Rev. Dr. William Sloane Coffin told a convention of the American unit of Pax Christi that American planning for nuclear war and preparations for the civil defense was "the Kool-Aid drill without the cyanide."[17]

People were referencing the Jonestown massacre as Kool-aid as early as a few days after the event. I guess it just stuck.

Flavor Aid is a non-carbonated soft drink beverage made by The Jel Sert Company in West Chicago, Illinois. It was introduced in 1929. It is sold throughout the United States as an unsweetened, powdered concentrate drink mix, similar to Kool-Aid brand drink mix.

(I do specifically mean mutuals, i.e. we follow each other and there is some existing relationship/camaraderie, but all are of course welcome to visit and admire the Kingdom at their leisure and leave an eligible bachelor tied to a tree somewhere in Killarney National Park for me to find later.)

Becoming aggressively social this summer by insisting that any mutuals passing through Kerry make arrangements to see me, as visitors would be obliged to call on the genteel titled owner of the large local country manor in the 1700s
