It recently came to my attention that a friend who escaped an abuser wasn’t familiar with DARVO, an acronym for understanding how abusers operate. So we’re all going to have a little education tonight:

“Not only will America go to your country and kill all your people, but they’ll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad.”

Fandom loves a bit of whimsy :D

Yeah, the only thing I've managed to grab are a few of the smaller "buy it now" ones and I only got them in the second drop

What I love about #fandommarket is that I don't at all begrudge anyone when I get the "you have been outbid" notification. Yes, pal! You buy the funky thing!

Tacking this on here because my brain blipped XD bsky.app/profile/amus...

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

It's important to remember that the stock market is not reflective of the value of the comnpanies listed, it is a mood ring for rich people.

What's hilarious about this is that old men have been shouting at clouds about people gathering for coffee and flavoured beverages for centuries. Man is part of a long tradition of being a grumpy gus.

But really, if your answer to a question is "Get out" or "because I say so", you're not really inciting people to keep believing what you're saying. If I say the moon is made of cheese with enough conviction, it would be more conviction than some of those folks had.

Being kicked out of every level of sunday school/bible class/youth fellowship for asking questions (like "so... dinosaurs?") and then having the pastor avoiding me for the same reason.
Apparently he wasn't a fan of feedback on his sermons 😁

I was asleep when the first lot dropped so I was waiting and refreshing furiously this time :D

Have a lovely piratical time 😍

Robert Louis Stevenson buttering up Thomas Hardy to try and persuade him to write an adventure book :D Quote follows: Of course, I am not so dull as to ask you to desert your walk; but could you not, in one novel, to oblige a sincere admirer, and to enrich his shelves with a beloved volume, could you not, and might you not, cast your characters in a mould a little more abstract and academic (dear Mrs. Pennyman had already, among your other work, a taste of what I mean), and pitch the incidents, I do not say in any stronger, but in a slightly more emphatic key — as it were an episode from one of the old (so-called) novels of adventure ? I fear you will not; and I suppose I must sighingly admit you to be right. And yet, when I see, as it were, a book of Tom Jones handled with your exquisite precision and shot through with those side-lights of reflection in which you excel, I relinquish the dear vision with regret. Think upon it.

So for some context, RLS loved adventure books but they weren't being written so much. He lamented that someone else hadn't written Treasure Island, so he could read it and enjoy it. And then started tweaking the coat tails of his author peers to get them to do it for him 😂

The BBC report, a Gambian passer buy is the man folks were talking about who tried to put out the Glasgow Central fire, raising the alarm and getting stuck in with a hand held fire extinguisher. A very "Glasgow" response, I can see he will fit right in.

Oh that's so pretty 😍

ahahaha farewell budget

What I have learned about travel influencers is that they like to have tantrums when they travel. Gives me very much this vibe

A video crossed my dash that was a reaction to a "travel influencer" wailing because no restaurants were open because of Ramadan in a Muslim country. Ma'am, there are *shops* selling food. You can go to them and buy a food.
Instead, she guilt-tripped the hotel manager into cooking for her

Man dressing like a rosy maple silk moth

The second we got to the hillside, my eyes were like "IT IS MY TIME!" 😅

photograph of the interior of a mosque with white arches edged in coral and white stripes and multiple arched windows within each exterior archway. Below them are light brown and blue pillars, topped with blue-grey and white striped arches and at the back of the image, the interior edge of a dome is visible. Suspended above the red-gold carpet, there are giant concentric rings with glass lamps suspended from them. On the walls, there are intricate gold and black carvings in squares and rectangles.

Today's #picoftheday is the Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul

Ooh I'm curious now - how did they hit you when you didn't know the characters? And was it worse the second time?

gdi, Iroh's story in the Tales of Ba Sing Se got me again. Every. gotdang. time.
