It’s been years since I’ve been on the lash & decades since I’ve taken non-prescription drugs but there’s something about a trip to a retail park on a gloomy grey autumn Sunday that, fleetingly, makes me want to sink an extravagant amount of silly drinks & neck swedgers just to prove I’m still alive

Hugely enjoyed Free Party: A Folk History, this evening. An excellent documentary about outdoor raves, braiding political & protest history & questions about the commons & right to roam with a really thoughtful & joyous oral history of free parties

Not to me writing to the local paper in anapaestic tetrameter posting, but there’s a massive issue round here with people not picking up after their dogs at the best of times, but today it’s like a taxonomical display of all the kinds of dogshit you can get, an absolute wunderkammer of dog’s eggs

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

Slowly getting there, for @skullsandsheets.bsky.social amazing auction to raise funds for domestic violence charities. Adding Mari Lwyds in appliqué & embroidery to this 1950s floral tray cloth, layering fabric fragments & embellishments from other eras, enjoying the enthusiastic amateur approach

A white lace edged tray cloth embroidered with pink blue purple and green flowers and grey spider webs, with two Mari Lwyds added in black thread embellished with pieces of a white lace doily, pearls, white buttons and beads, and a scroll with the words memento Mori embroidered in black on a scroll across the middle, the cloth is resting on a hot pink quilt

Maybe I’ll just do a bit more sewing…or…no, no, of course, sorry, you’re right I should just go fuck myself instead

Painting created c.1970 by GD Cotterell, in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital, where he was compelled to live. Tormented by a belief, without basis in material reality, that he’d caused an accidental death while driving, much of his work attempted to persuade himself of his innocence

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Dreamt there was a massive discourse about some scholar having discovered that Tolkien had a secret second identity as J Hogjet Hotrod writing dragon porn & I don’t know what’s going on with my subconscious but I think we can conclude it’s fairly internet poisoned

Drawing created by Paul Davidson c.1967, in the art therapy studio at Netherne Hospital, where he was compelled to live. This is one of a small number of his surviving works & no biographical information is currently known to us

A crayon drawing of a white boy’s head with short brown hair and purple and orange rays emitting from his eyes, he is inside a square structure reminiscent of a window of theatre set with prance curtains, above a rectangle full of blue and green stars with red legs, and on either side are hands with their index fingers pointed

Text on page “George Mantor had an iris garden, which he improved each year by throwing out the commoner varieties. One day his attention was called to another very fine iris garden. Jealously he made some inquiries. The garden, it turned out, belonged to the man who collected his garbage.”

saw this on Instagram and it so perfectly encapsulated my rage

seravph
being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made
