Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Okay. You're a transphobic obsessive bent on ruining (and ending) trans people's lives and opening the door to the Christian right reversing all progress towards women's rights.

I have no idea, I must admit! I'm not surprised that they take a *lot* longer of course. When you say 'the materials alone are worth more' do you mean they are worth more than the materials of the regular drag portraits, or more than the price I was suggesting as a start point?

jinty comixminx wildebeest the third @comixminx.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Difficult because I expect a lot depends on who the potential customer is, and why they are looking to buy - are they a fan of the drag artist, a fan of yours, a fan of fabulous shiny things... Maybe try something like £50 or £75 and see how it goes. Say 2x your drag artist portraits price?

This is because most Gentiles assume Jews are just Christians without Christ, and miss the fact that there are a lot fewer of us and that being in community as one people, even with people you disagree with or even hate, is a big part of what it means to be Jewish. Peoplehood, not just religion.

this is exactly my opinion. there may be a superstrate of extremely difficult and unique safety problems around AI, but the substrate is simply that no one takes basic precautions seriously becasue they imagine (or pretend to imaigne) that it is futile, and basic precautions slow down launches.

Il y a en Pologne et plus largement en Europe centrale une tradition, relevée par l'historienne de l'art Magdalena Łanuszka, de chaire baroques en forme de baleine dans certaines églises. C'est assez incroyable. Exemple dans l'église Saints-Pierre-et-Paul de Duszniki-Zdrój en Basse-Silésie (1/n)

Un immense monstre marin jaillit du mur, couvert d’écailles, doté de grandes nageoires et d’une queue noueuse, la gueule grande ouverte, parsemée de molaires carrées et de canines acérées comme celles d’un hippopotame. Ses yeux écarquillés fixent le ciel et son palais rouge est visible dans la cavité de sa mâchoire ouverte.
Autour de sa bouche sont assis, miraculeusement suspendus dans les airs, les quatre évangélistes vêtus de robes d’or.
Des crânes humains gisent sur son museau, à côté d’une figure extraordinaire, squelette d’un côté et chair de l’autre, s’élevant vers le haut. Des figures et des nuages tourbillonnent plus haut vers un soleil au sommet où le Christ ressuscité se tient triomphant.

150 new houses are proposed for Sandford-on-Thames, on the southern edge of Oxford – but getting there by bike will mean waiting at four light-controlled crossings within 400m, dismounting on a narrow section of pavement, and crossing the fast and busy entrance to Heyford Hill Sainsbury’s.

I’ve thought further about it this morning and have come up with a tip I might try on them later: if it’s all too hard, try doing it on super-easy mode. Do a very small bit (rather than nothing at all). Write it out rather than try to cudgel your brain to remember it. Heck, read it out loud.

Yesterday I was trying to support my kid with homework but it was failing cos kid’s brain wasn’t braining. As a desperate fallback I suggested that they at least copy out one of the verbs in the homework (practicing irregular verb tenses). When I next looked, they’d done three, good oh.
