It's Bad Swedish Prize Season! Which we for one will celebrate by uh shopping for bat-themed earrings or something, fuck the Bad Swedish Prizes. (And the Bad Norwegian Prize in Memory of H Kissinger, and the Bad Fake Retcon Swedish Prize For Money.)

throw pillows are not meant to be thrown, despite the name. perhaps our limited understanding of the laws of nature is to blame.

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.

A neon light art piece of Samuel Beckett's famous quote "I can't go on. I'll go on" but spaced - it would seem inadvertently- so that it reads "I can't goon. I'll goon".

I came out to my (irl) D&D group and the most exciting thing that happened is the DM's wife recruited me to her Radical Feminist Splinter Group that insists that pockets are a fundamental human right. I didn't need a lot of urging, tbh.

The partisan split in contemporary western politics is between people who want to kill, eliminate and/or subjugate us* and people who want to let them. As a bonus, the latter group demand unconditional fealty and get very cross if it is withheld.

I've been on a prescription for generic methylphenidate (AKA ritalin) for a couple of years now, and it's been great for me. The debilitating chaos that otherwise swirls around my head and prevents me actually doing things is sensibly (albeit not entirely) abated.

A trans woman with glasses laments "Sometimes I feel like I'm giving up a lot by transitioning. Like.. will I ever truly feel like "The Boys are Back in Town" again?" Her friend reassures her by saying "Of course Margaret! The boys being back in town has nothing to do with gender. It has more to do with the boys being back in town."

THE VATICAN IS CALLING IT A SCHISM I REPEAT HOUSTON, WE HAVE A SCHISM

Therefore, this Dicastery, in the faithful exercise of the functions entrusted to it, considers it necessary to state that this act constituted the delict of schism, with the canonical consequences for the sacred ministers and lay faithful involved. Indeed, as was already declared in 1988, "such disobedience-which implies in practice the rejection of the Roman primacy—constitutes a schismatic act" (cf. John Paul II, Apostolic Letter Ecclesia Dei, 3).
