valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

time to rejoin the EU

Same for Kiwis!

Awww ModCloth were amazing back in the day

As is yours! May more of us be both formidable and mediocre 🤣

I’m “romantic in the large sense. Slightly bogus”.

Young Anton Chekhov, the playwright, looking super hot in his 20s

Wait, THIS is young Anton Chekhov? This? Good lord. Let that gun go off, daddy

Women’s ice hockey is so much fun! If you grew up watching rugby or playing hockey in PE, it’s an easy sport to understand and it’s so fast! Plus, like rugby, it is *rough* and you can see why players in both sports get aggy. I had no idea countries like Japan and France played, it’s intriguing!

Since I’m boycotting Eurovision this year, I am instead going to get weirdly intense about the delights of curling + figure skating at the Winter Olympics (and, for the first time, ice hockey). Is curling basically just pétanque on ice? Why don’t the French have a team?

Muppets replace everyone on Bluesky but keep Menswear Guy as himself

This is exactly what put me off sci fi/fantasy until my early 40s. I’d had one positive reading experience (the Chalion series), but tried a few “normal” sci fi/fantasy books and went “clearly for my male sciencey buddies only” and never touched it again until a mate lent me Becky Chambers.

Would you recommend it? I’m hoping there’s a way I can get it over here

For today there is only one thought:

Toitū Te Tiriti.

When Seymour said there are always a small group of people that turn up and ruin it for everyone, for a brief moment I thought he'd developed self-awareness.

Too much awesomeness and whimsy?

The royal content we all deserve. I ❤️ the @vaginamuseum.bsky.social

I’ve been in there! They do tours which used to cost £20 but are probably a lot more now. It’s fascinating because you start off in a 1,000 year old hall (nerdy me was very tempted to hug the walls but refrained). If you’re a politics/history nerd that’s well worth the money.

National milestone: It’s been 10 years since the Waitangi dildo strike When Josie Butler threw that dildo, she split our nation’s timeline into two eras: before dildo (BD) and after dildo (AD).

This article interviewing the protestor goes into more detail about the dildo (it had a cartoon face!) and is truly glorious. I remember this happening and as a Kiw, it is one of our country’s finest protest moments thespinoff.co.nz/politics/05-...

Right? For that you could buy a house, help some peeps, have a little left over for fun

Can’t understand why YOU are struggling with imposter syndrome when both Andrew Tate and Donald Trump are out there thinking they’re the hottest, most intelligent people on the planet. Free yourself immediately by telling your brain to shut the fuck up.

This is such good news! What a bright spot in your life ☺️

Happy flying dildo anniversary to those who celebrate it.

Yay you! I’m so proud of you!

That’s exactly what I thought, slave labour.

Sending you luck. These forms are awful

Grackle squawking with the caption Does anyone know what was up with the calligrapher who was having a bad night in The Residence because I love that it is never explained but also I’m curious

Sometimes I take a pic of a squawking bird and give them stuff to say

There are worse hobbies

Yes! So many possible answers

In 2007, one of the first women to step forward and try to stop Epstein was a trans woman, who was savaged by the American press and went into hiding. In the 2010s, every Republican man who's fought against trans rights over the years was communicating with Epstein on the regular. In 2018, JK Rowling's team invited Epstein to an exclusive Harry Potter dinner. Don't let anyone get this twisted around.

Don't let Republicans and transphobes re-write history when they're the ones who've been orchestrating a genocide with a cabal of pedophiles all along. Trans people, yet again, were the canaries in the coal mine, and everyone just looked and said, "huh, there's a dead bird in there".
