Question for the author + Toby what would be his and your favorite songs??

He may dance funnily to Hit the Road Jack in his spare time. Kid Toby followed the trends better.

I like to think killing time fits him. I don't understand why most Toby playlists I came across consist of dying ukuleles with some sappy crying lyrics? He is chaotic and cheery, I would have put a few songs with an energetic guitar or something electro in there, nirvana, three days grace or whatever this is Shameless sharing of few fav songs I have a few energetic songs I associate with Tobs: phonk, modern emo songs, this remix, some good old and classic rock lmao I listen to Breathe Carolina a lot.

Some old narrow gauge Nia doodles I’ve done over the past month, Nia’s livery was inspired by 🌺mrterrier673🌺 on Twitter

Saw some edits of Nia with glasses and I fell in love we need more engines with accessories

Some pannier shaped siblings, they met pre-msr days (they didn’t come in the same time)but were very happy to reunite with one another in the msr then in the Skarloey Railway 😊☺️

Their sibling friendship/relationship is like alastor and Rosie or Mary and jack, Nia didn’t care about Stanley’s “jinx” and defended him whenever he got bullied, she’s one of the very few folks who can make Stanley genuinely happy and do things like singing much to his colleagues surprise (also livery inspiration for one another♥️❤️🧡💜💛🖤)

The strange sapphic phenomenon where All Roads Lead to Hozier (for me at least):

Daisira is one of my favorite ships from the Magnus Archives. I love them so much, they're my tragic morally dubious scary lesbians and I go berserk for their moments. And my favorite animatic that's just for them? A Hozier song.

Katie McGrath was my bi awakening as Morgana in Merlin and over the course of my forays into Tumblr I have been transforming into one of the feral fans who wants to watch everything she's in. So when I find out she's in a music video and go watch it? A Hozier song.

Annapantsu is the YouTube cover artist that made me realize why YouTube cover artists are a thing. Her cover of House of Asmodeus made me gay panic so hard I forgot what gay panic was called. Occasionally she'll release a cover that elicits a similar response and it'll live rent free in my brain for weeks. The most recent of these? A Hozier song.

I'm not a hardcore Hozier fan, but if this trend keeps up, it likely won't be long.

Pronouns circle and everyone looks at me, The Pronoun

i think one of the most frustrating things about the “share pronouns in a circle” phenomenon, as someone who teaches, is it has been so entrenched in the “canon” of the “progressive toolkit” that when you reject it for very good reasons, you recieve pushback for not giving space for pronoun sharing, so you just end up doing it anyways. and it really ignores the way it makes a spectacle if there are only a handful of trans people in the room, or even worse, only one

Are language bans legal in Germany?

Asked for clarification on whether foreign language protests were allowed in Germany, a Berlin police spokesperson told The Local that they "decide on restrictions for assemblies on a case-by-case basis".

The Irish protest took place within a protest camp which has been stationed in the sculpture park west of Heinrich-von-Gagern-Straße since April 8th. This particular camp is subject to the restriction that speeches can only be given in German and English and, at certain times, in Arabic, according to the Berlin Police.

The police spokesperson added: "In addition to this restriction, the assembly leader was informed on the occasion of the rally on April 19th that no exclamations or chants in Hebrew or Gaelic may take place. This decision is based on the Berlin Freedom of Assembly Act."

In this case, the Berlin Police say that their own risk forecast suggested that "the assembly could lead to speeches or chants glorifying violence with potentially criminal content", and therefore police officers on the scene needed the ability to hear what was being said so that they could enforce restrictions imposed on banned speech, like speech that incites violence, for example.

"For some languages, this is only possible with an interpreter. As there was no interpreter available for Hebrew and Gaelic in this case, it was only possible to act in advance with appropriate restrictions," the police said.
