When I used to write for The Guardian, every time I wrote the word “meow” the editors would change it to “miaow”. It used to really get on my wick. Don’t try to make my cats sound like your upper middle class London cats, you fuckers. My cats did not go to your posh cat schools. They say “meow”.

Why draw boring (and deeply problematic) wizard stuff when you could be drawing good wizard/witch characters this spooky season!

We need to rephrase the whole discussion in terms of hazardous products, instead of "minds". And then we need to make sure that there's liability. A model hacks someone? Put a C-suite guy in jail. A model produces sexual harassment material? Put a C-suite guy in jail. Watch how fast things get safe

Owls in Towels @owls-in-towels.bsky.social · 20h
3rd of Owltober! An Australian Boobook at South Oakleigh Wildlife Shelter fell victim to an attack from a mob of Magpies. A reminder to take care around nesting Magpies this season, be you feathered or not! Want to donate to SOWS? sows.org.au/donate via: fb.com/833886482101... #owlsintowels 💛🦉
A Boobook looks positively terrified... mortified... petrified... stupefied. Which is fair dinkum for any Magpie victim, but then again, it may just be RBF (Resting Boobook Face). Regardless, this owl has a shocked expression and mismatched pupils, with a pair of wide eyes the hue of a dark forest floor, or a kiwifruit that's gone a bit soft past its prime. She's wrapped in a blue tea towel which, along with her brown plumage, collects wayward strands of grass and leaf litter. Her feathers are the same tone as Chewbacca's fur, though not quite as long. In a word: Boobookiee.

If you're a fan of a big media property, a really dedicated and invested fan, you have to learn to respond to criticism of that thing in a calm and reasonable manner rather than as a personal attack. In fact, you should learn to do the criticism yourself, without feeling embarrassed for liking it.

The good men, the friends and lovers even, say to me later "well why didn't you just tell that creep off" as though I wouldn't be accused of starting shit, as though they'd stand up for me and not interrogate me to make the creep comfortable instead. Experience tells me most men will do the latter.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

This week Malaysia sent a gift to the Myanmar military junta: over a thousand refugees who had sought protection from it. But criticise this action and many Malaysians will act like they’re the ones harmed.

When I first heard about "Greek life" from US uni prospectuses I thought it was a bunch of pretentious theatre nerds cosplaying philosophers and mythological characters and I'm still mad that it's not that. Also, mentioning what house you were in after graduating is very "peaked in college"

I had to go outdoors today to get cat food from a nice cat rescuer lady, and as a wax princess*, I went out wearing a cap that someone made with the branding Osamu's onigiri shop. I was also dressed in the standard F&B uniform of black t-shirt and black pants. IS THIS COSPLAY? Yes.

Sometimes Skittles won't eat her wet food unless I'm out (I guess because she figures if I'm out, no one's going to change the food to something she'll eat). So I leave the house and sit in my car for half an hour just so she'll eat it.

Facts. In many cases, bad men talk to you about the bad things they’ve done to establish that you will not object. You can’t win with them; you either have to fight them or join their team. Staying silent is joining their team.
