Detox Doodles! These animals are from my 100-day journey to swap scrolling for sketching: www.joyousjoyness.com/pages/detox-... This page is all about Tortoises! #art #tortoise #sketch #DetoxDoodles #sciart #InkArt
Sketchbook page of 5 drawings of Tortoises in blue pen. At the top of the page is the text Tortoise and 8/11/25. The top of the page is a Tortoise eating a large strawberry. Below is the face of a Tortoise and a Tortoise behind and the word Booty, and some hearts. To the bottom left is a smiling Tortoise face and to the right is a Tortoise with its neck stretched and the text Stretch.

Good employers think in terms of "If I worked here, what would I want?" Forcing employees to stand rather than sit in chairs is basically the polar opposite of this approach and indicative of an employer who should be treated with contempt.

So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter", you'd say. Now where were we…

A very sad farewell to Stephanie Cole, queen of British comedy in every form. May an inexpensive charter jet fly her swiftly to her rest on gilded wings.

I had to read Crime and Punishment and The Count of Monte Cristo (fortunately, both in translation) before my parents would let me play Grand Theft Auto IV

There is zero reason for politicians to be talking about "trans issues" except as a result of a 100% bad faith campaign of bullying and bigotry and it is important to point that out whenever the topic is raised, or you grant bigots legitimacy they don't deserve. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/you-have-t...

You Have to Call Bigots What They Are
Stop treating trans people’s rights as a legitimate issue to debate.

UNION WIN! London bus drivers to get air conditioning! Following negotiations between Unite, Mayor Sadiq Khan and TFL, air con will be installed in all bus driver cabs by the end of May 2027. During the heatwave cab temperatures could get as high as 40 degrees.

"But she added she did not seek to "minimise" legitimate concerns people had about small boat crossings" You know what, Policing Minister, I do. I wish to minimise their concerns. The concerns are more often than not racist.

Beware the FRAUDULENT Ray Mill Moorfield Terrace (Stop TR) in Maidenhead, which was labelled MR on the physical sign, but would otherwise be the final Stop TR in the country

lol remember when the tories won one byelection in Uxbridge and everyone reckoned it was vital to scrap this and all the lobby journos thought London, in a wave of righteous But My Car Rage, would buck polls and elect a woman who kept dropping her purse and shouting that youths had stolen it?

I feel like we need two different words for podcasts, one for "scripted and edited" and one for "dudes yapping." I understand the appeal of "dudes yapping" but I personally can not tolerate it. I wrote off the entire medium until I found out that it wasn't all "dudes yapping."

They should have legislated - a single clause Bill would have done it - the day after the Supreme Court judgement, to revert its perverse misreading and restore the obvious original intents of the Equality Act and the GRA. Their moral cowardice and failure created and compounded this horror show.

i'm the eldest of 5, 3 are boys; the self esteem problems they've faced stem from how men (plus misogynists) talk about gender. it's not feminism! it's transphobia! it's white supremacy! stop fucking acting like men are being oppressed by anything but patriarchy! literally what year is it!

i made a helpful reference
top right: a fractured black rectangle where one half is labeled "autism is bad" and the other side is labeled "FACT CHECK: autistic people are productive members of society". 

top left:
WRONG
-negating their frame reinforces it
-starts with what it isn't instead of what it is
- your argument is shaped like their argument

bottom right: large image of Kirby, a pink blob inhaling and the "autism is bad" fragment, labeled THEY'RE DOING EUGENICS

bottom left: 
RIGHT
- you eat their frame
-starts with what's actually happening
-contains and explains what they're doing
-your argument is shaped like kirby

I don't believe that if we all closed our eyes and wished really hard we could bring back Maplin but if we mandated minimum wage for gig delivery & effectively outlawed free parking we could drastically change what businesses are on the high street (it wouldn't be popular though)

a compromise: if you are a social media site/communication app, you are not responsible for what people post, *provided* you don’t interfere with what they see. so, the bsky timeline, basically: posts you’ve chosen to follow in chronological order. put other posts in there, and you’re a publisher.

Politicians and commentators alike (over-)use social media to debate policy and assess popularity. What effect does it have to kick u16s off entirely? I appreciate kids don't regularly attend council meetings, but they can go!
