Gimme a minute I'm GONNA make that jump

I just learned that the Russian word for “ladybug” translates to “God’s Little Cow”

I must not doomscroll. Doomscrolling is the mind killer. Doomscrolling is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will put down my phone. I will permit the US election to pass over me and through me. Where the doomscrolling has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

This breaks my heart to hear. I can't overstate what a powerhouse this beautiful lady was. She wasn't afraid to go toe to toe with executives, spoke her mind, and wrote so many amazing episodes such as "The Drumhead", "The Wounded", "Time's Arrow", and many more.

She gave us so much and understood the nuances of what made Star Trek, Star Trek. She was a keystone of the franchise and her influence is seen in so many aspects of the 90's era shows. She will be missed, but her legacy still brings us so much joy and I hope she knew that.

While it was a longshot, I do appreciate that Gimli did try chopping the Ring up with an axe first. It was worth a shot, and they'd have all felt like bloody idiots if they took the Ring all the way to Mordor only to find out it could have been chopped up by an axe all along.

My brother recently bought a house in the rural outskirts of his city, and apparently it's a real fixer-upper, but that's always been the kind of thing he loves doing. So he has a truck now (to haul stuff for all the repairs he's doing on the house). He's already fond of flannel. He bakes his own bread.

And now a cat has turned up, so he has a cat.

With Christmas rapidly approaching, it's dawning on me that my own brother is, in fact, Hallmark Christmas Movie Small Town Man.

If he shows up to Christmas dinner with a bewildered hedge fund manager who got stranded in his town and fell in love with him over an ice sculpture carving competition or some shit, I'm gonna have to stage an intervention.

I hate when an artist gets exposed for being a bad person and people start the narrative “why would you even want to listen to their shitty music” when are we going to be freed from the idea that only good people create good art and bad people create bad art. It just makes it harder for these types of people to be exposed because now you got people thinking “how is this possible, his music is so good!”

I had an idea that what if the Faligon chimera was reversed and just had to draw it

I've seen little about it so, Just an FYI what's been unfolding in England today. Far-right protestors are literally trying to kill asylum seekers in hotels.

In Rotherham, Yorkshire fascists have tried to set a hotel on fire with migrants staying there. Some signalling cut-throat gestures at the people staying in the rooms.

In Tamworth, Staffordshire the very same thing is happening. Another hotel has been set on fire with asylum seekers still inside alongside racist graffiti.

Other similar protests that are going uncountered are happening in Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Stoke-on-Trent and many more areas, chances are there will be one somewhere by you if things keep going the way they are. Nazis are literally strolling about unchallenged and these people are marching happily with them. There are more sensitive videos online which I won't share here but there are groups of nazis chasing down and circling black people in cities and beating them up, indian and chinese takeaways being targetted, turkish barbers being set alight and there have been incidents of muslims being assaulted and even stabbed.

BUT... There are success stories from UK cities where riots have failed due to no turnout or due to antifascists driving far-right pricks out of the city.

Cardiff, Wales - About 5 fascists turn up compared to 500 conuter-protestors. They failed to get anyone here despite trying two times.

Liverpool, Merseyside - A significant EDL mob is marched out of the city and fought against. Counter-protestors form a ring around a mosque being targetted.

Bristol, City of - antifascists block the entrance to a hotel that nazis are trying to get into as well as a fierce citywide push against the EDL and racism.

Nottingham, East Midlands - A huge antifascist counter protest outnumbers EDL and the far-right, preventing a riot from occuring.

There are many many more of these riots planned. If you're in the UK get organised and be prepared to fight alongside the people who make our communities stong and resiliant and make our country and cities a wonderful vibrant and friendly place to be. Help by whatever means you can. If you are not from the UK then please signal boost this because this needs to stop this nastiness from spreading and to make nazis afraid again.

coming up with an au were a dead character lives but shaking my head while i do it so everyone watching knows i support the role their death played in the narrative and consider it a legitimate writing choice

As a black woman who strongly advocates for both women of color and trans people, the last few days have been a horror to experience. The power of white tears was once again put on display during imane's boxing match. Watching that girl have the whole world literally turn against her bc a white woman couldn't take a loss is absolutely terrifying. This is not the first time a woman of color's femininity and womanhood was questioned due to the fact that they were brilliant at a sport. Serena Williams, Caster Semenya and many other women of color faced the same atrocities due to their brilliance and the fact that they didn't fit it the mainstream whitewashed image of what femininity and womanhood should be. We need a radical change and in order to do this, we need start by deplatforming people like Jk Rowling who are voices of both transphobia and systemic racism.
