Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Everyone else: "We can use AI to streamline our work!" Me: 120
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I'm not going to PAX Aus this year, but if I was I would definitely be going to this panel: 110
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The Dark Brotherhood apparently doing their thing in the Capital Wasteland 010
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026This dress reminds me of that Janet Jackson album cover 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I like that he took "clothes as art" literally, and appears to be carrying a sword 200
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Both of these dresses are lovely, but I'm not sure about the fan 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026A dress like a beautifully tailored mirror ball (in a good way) 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026This guy looks like a Sherlock Holmes villain (complimentary) 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I already posted about Connor Storrie, but here he is again looking sexy as hell. I love the blend of feminine and masculine details 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Another dress I want to steal for myself! I love the colour 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026A lot of the men wore very nice but not very interesting suits. I love this one for being different: 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026This is another dress that I would just happily wear if I had the chance. Gorgeous 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I really like this dress-as-art. It makes me think of an old statue that is being slowly covered with plants 110
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026This is a very naked dress, but the detail work is beautiful 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Another amazing battle armour dress, and this one also manages to look like flowing liquid: 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Hudson Williams is so incredibly hot. I love his makeup and the flamboyance of his suit 110
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I love the matching detail work on this couple's outfits 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026The floofiness of this dress is great. I would be running dramatically down stairs if I wore it: 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I love that Bad Bunny made himself look old (I believe "Old Bodies" is one of the themes the Met Costume Institute display) 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026This dress is amazing. It looks like a Leonardo DaVinci painting turned into a dress (I actually have a dress and a skirt that have Leonardo DaVinci paintings on them) 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I love this one: it's like part battle armour, part ballgown: 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Beyonce's sparkly skeleton dress is cool, not sure about the fur 100
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Pretty happy I have a small, fuel efficient car right now. If anyone wonders why people in other countries care about American politics, it's because your president's dumbass actions affect us too 020
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 31/01/2026My mother-in-law gave me an old (70s) Patons knitting and crochet booklet with a bunch of blanket patterns in it. The most interesting part is the different recommended needle sizes depending on whether you are a loose, average or tight knitter 010
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 23/01/2026My eternal pet hate is games announcements that use seasons instead of months. Not everyone has seasons at the same time of year you bastards (I'm assuming they mean September - November 2026) 330
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 10/12/2025I can't get DMs here without giving personal information to a third party to prove that I'm an adult: 310
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 09/12/2025FB reminded me that this is what my cat Oscar looked like 11 years ago 330
Shadowlee @shadowlee.bsky.social · 06/12/2025Tonight I have a three saxophone gig (Christmas concert) 010
![Screenshot of wikipedia article on "Purity sprials":
Haynes and others have given several examples of historical settings, groups, and eras in which they perceive purity spirals to have occurred:
The French Revolution, which historians Katrin Redfern and Richard Whatmore label "perhaps the greatest [purity spiral] in history"
The Puritan Revolution
The Chinese Cultural Revolution, with its Red Guards and mass denunciations
Moscow trials - demonstration of increasingly extreme loyalty tests required to maintain normalcy
The actions of the Khmer Rouge
McCarthyism
Haynes also points to more recent examples on social media, including:
Instagram knitting circles in 2020, where some felt that an attempt to promote cultural diversity had led to the online bullying of transgressors
The young adult fiction community in 2018, where the #ownvoices diversity movement led to people leaving bad online reviews of a book they had not read, accusing it of "white saviourism"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nuh4w7awpnezstr7yh7frob3/bafkreia4fnw2jtzeclcj5qlfuyo6fh6walfbrerjkkm7tuphgibhe7tvke)
