What's causing the thing where bar queues in mid/larger sized spaces and some smaller ones are becoming single file? It started around 2016ish I think. I've seen venues posting on socials to say "stop doing this, more than one person can be at the front, you don't have to snake across the venue"

A flyer for my LEX Public lecture featuring my photo and the abstract/info for the talk (it's also in the link so I won't type it out here). I am a white femme person with short brown curly hair and black glasses. I'm smiling at the camera wearing a multicoloured keffiyeh over a stripy top and one of my floral tattoos is just visible.

Everything is fine, and this sort of thing (plus break-ins at the old place) is why Gizmo lives with Mr. Sparrow, and I spend as much time as possible there. We like his tendency to put the radiators on, though only Giz rolls around in front of them, and toasts her nose on the towel covered metal.

People who don't rely on help from the state to exist (or know anyone who does) always assume that those who *really* need it can get it. That it's available and accessible for hypothetical "genuine cases". It never seems to occur to them that such a threshold of legitimate need does not exist.

A portrait of the Mari Lwyd, which is a South Wales custom performed during winter festivities, specifically around the dates of Christmas and New Year. This portrait of Mari Lwyd features a Mari based on the tarot card Temperance. She is holding two cups with water flowing between them. The border is a snake eating its own tail (orobouros)

Halloween costumes for birders. This is from last year and someone actually did the sexy owl pellet one.

A comic called halloween costume ideas for birders. In panel 1, labeled easy, there's a person labeled northern cardinal wearing a party hat, a beak, and red clothes, and a person labeled roseate spoonbill wearing pink clothes and a wooden spoon on their nose. In panel 2, labeled harder, there's a person labeled merlin sound ID wearing a big green circle with a microphone modeled after the button on the merlin sound ID app, and a person labeled hybrid green x blue jay wearing a complex costume with a mask and robe and hat modeled after a recently discovered hybrid bird. In panel 3, labeled challenging, there's a person labeled baltimore oriole nest wearing an enormous accurate woven oriole nest suspended from their arms and shoulders, and a person labeled african jacana carrying chicks with a hideous costume of long-toed bird feet hanging from their armpits. In panel 4, labeled hot, there's a person labeled high quality spotting scope who is shirtless and is wearing a spotting scope mask on their head, and a person labeled sexy owl pellet wearing an owl pellet top and bottom with a mouse skull on their head.

I’m guest editing the next issue of Agita; send me your weirdest <1000 word stories about weird art. Authors from marginalized backgrounds encouraged and prioritized. No AI bullshit. The weirder the better. agitamag.com/submissions/

Issue 3: Ekphrasis
Between October 17 and November 17, guest editor Zachary Gillan will accept submissions of weird flash fiction that features ekphrasis.
Ekphrasis is the verbal representation of a work of visual art.
Weird fiction is a verbal representation of the world, in order to unsettle it.
We want stories that live at the intersection of the two. Pieces that emphasize the eerie power of weird art, whether fully ekphrastic or embedded within a traditional narrative. How does the weird seep in as reality is doubly estranged from these two layers of representation? Cursed paintings, uncanny statues, haunted mezzotints-send us your stories of weird art.

I have definitely heard exceptions, but my personal preference is to read the poem rather than hear it. My brain bounces off at least 80% of audio stuff, though I can fall embarrassingly in love with the remaining 20%. I adored hearing @smaychel.bsky.social's Captain Kirk poems, for example.

Are you: - a trans woman or a non-binary person with a prostate? - aged 40+? - on oestrogen and/or post-op for bottom surgery? - based in the UK? The TransPRIDE study invites you to participate in research to inform better trans-inclusive prostate care! transpridestudy.org.uk

Recruitment poster with text that reads as follows. Trans or non-binary?
Join us in research led by and for trans people to improve our healthcare.

TransPRIDE (Trans & non-binary Prostate specific antigen Reference Interval
DEtermination) is a research study to help find the normal levels of the PSA blood test in trans women and non-binary people with prostates.
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a blood test that helps detect prostate
problems including cancer.

It is lowered by gender-affirming hormones and surgeries but we do not
know the expected normal levels for trans women and non-binary people.

Knowing the normal PSA blood test level will help doctors to find and treat prostate cancer more quickly in this population.

We are looking for 500 trans women and non-binary people aged 40+ who have been on feminising hormone therapy for at least 3 months, and/or had any kind of bottom surgery, to take part.

Participation involves a blood test for PSA and hormone levels, and short
questionnaires.

Blood test results will be returned, and participants are given a £25 gift
voucher for their time.

For more information visit: transpridestudy.org.uk
Or contact: bartsctu-transpride-study@qmul.ac.uk
