They really just want to kill as many people as they possibly can.

and Holo Taco's Touch Grass creme polish for the accent nail (nearly identical green, just no shimmer) topped with an old Sally Hansen glitter called Snow Globe.

#manicure #extremityfetish It's back to green this week! Couldn't stay away for too long. Here, Dolla Dolla Bill Y'all from Cracked Polish on four fingers (apparently the same green as a US bill?)...

Whoa. Yanno until you said this, I hadn't realized, but it's true. What happened??

I see it is once again "bill us ahead of time for a big project and do the work later" season. In other words, end of fiscal for my university clients, among others. My favourite time of year! 😊#freelancerlife

Agreed. I figure it should be taken as Kleenex, you know, a brand name intended to convey a generic, in this case "streaming service." But either way chocolate, cheese and books are more important LOL

Chocolate, cheese and books, though I guess I'll be enjoying all those things pantsless cuz I live in my leggings πŸ˜‚

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us β€œsexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

This article contains a lot of super useful information, not just about the mechanisms of conspiracy theory in Canada but also about just how small a minority of people actually believe it. Even though it can *feel* like a lot, it really isn't. Pretty hopeful! Worth a read!

Today I mended two tops, three pairs of leggings, a glove, a purse lining, two bras and a very old teddy bear. It feels like a very small good thingβ€”to fix items and not throw them out. But I think small good things are important as we face a world full of huge bad things.

Just what the planet needs. More American bombs killing schoolchildren in the Middle East. That'll solve everything, right? Right??

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says β€” Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikesΒ and people in cars and on foot, a new studyΒ of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

I wasn't aware of the Letterman incident. I've always found Crispin Glover kind of deliciously creepy, but it turns out I should drop the "delicious" part. Ughhhh πŸ˜•

David calling out the real life issues faced by Albertans caused by the racist rhetoric spewed by the ucp that is allowing shitty racist Albertans to be openly shitty.

Not to get all Gender Studies on you, but it almost vibes like there's a gender thing going on here. Real power is when you dig shit up and burn it, all manly-like, while you eat a steak and potatoes. Wind and solar just aren't muscular and dirty enough. Am I off base here? sigh

Like they think it's too expensive to move toward wind or solar, all plentiful on the Prairies, but they don't think a billion-dollar coal subsidy plus associated healthcare costs are too expensive? (Ontario decommissioned coal plants after finding that coal pollution cost the health system $1B/yr.)

The thing I find so puzzling about this kind of move is: that very same money could be used to advance green energy, which doesn't have the same environmental or health costs, is in high demand, and is inevitably the way of the future, law or no law. Why this death grip on fossil fuels?

Makes total sense. A friend of mine elsewhere said that as a person "with boobs for days" she has become more selective about the people with whom she chooses to "share her bounty." LOL But increased selectivity seems to be a common thing now regardless, you're not alone in mentioning it.

I'm hitting that point in the winter where I'm starting to fantasize about eating market fish and salad and sipping white wine on a patio with friends, wearing something light and airy, enjoying a sunset that lasts til 9 pm. A sweating glass of water. Sorbet for dessert and music floating by. 😭
