The 3 genders: dick, bow, and implied waistcoat
3 person-shaped sugar cookies on a black cooling rack: 1 has a long silver decoration as a penis (and 2 silver balls for eyes), 1 has a snowflake decoration as a hairbow (and 2 silver balls for eyes), and 1 has 3 silver balls implying a waistcoat (and 2 silver balls for eyes).

Every year on 19 December, the famous Christmas lights at Mousehole in Cornwall are dimmed between 8 and 9pm, leaving just the Cross and Angels shining down across the village and out to sea.

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

I didn't have tumble so I used stumble.

It's just a bullet, how much could it possibly hurt? #WIPSnips
Text reads: “Fine, but let me help you?” “Don’t need help,” and she took a laboured breath and started up again, “it’s just a bullet. Didn’t break nothing important.” Not if you collapse or bleed to death! The arguments died in her throat. Sighing, Grace kept her pace and made ready to catch Kat if she stumbled. Beyond that, she realised that she had absolutely no idea where they were and the only thing she could have done at that point would have been to drag Kat back to a main street. Given that their attackers (and probably the police) would be looking for them, the only option was to go along with it. Eventually she was able to at least drape Kat’s coat over her shoulders, as she was starting to shiver, even if she denied being cold.

For example the main problem with Hurricane Katrina wasn't "big storm," it was "whoops we left New Orleans to die lol"

I think you had to be very online at a time when most people weren't to know that the bush administration was comically evil to the extent that it was, but for those of you who weren't: trust us! these were stupid evil people, not so different from the current ones!

Before group chats and video calls, hurricane forecasters had the Hurricane Hotline. 📞
These dedicated phones helped NWS experts quickly coordinate watches, warnings and storm information when tropical cyclones threatened.

There are perks to moving into a flat most recent occupied by occultists and an enhanced icebox is one of them. #WIPSnips
Text reads: Trying again, she bent down and wrapped her fingers in her sleeve, undoing the latch and opening the lid. Indeed, in contravention to every natural law Grace believed in, the space was filled by a block of ice covered in frost when it should have been slick with meltwater. Curious, she brushed some of the frost away with her sleeve, which was as crisp and dry as the coldest winter day, her breath clouding above it. There chiselled into the ice were several symbols, glowing a bright and baleful blue. Devilry? Alchemy? Some other equally unnatural thing? “Ice created not to melt?” she said out loud and then realised how ridiculous that was, both the idea and talking to herself. Her grandmother had always said, ‘words spoken alone are between you and God so do not waste His time.’

we need to return to sci-fi book covers being little people in the foreground with immense looming wonders in the background
the cover for The Last Legends of Earth, which shows people fishing in a hamlet of thatch-roof catches while vast sci-fi pylons loom in the background the cover of Shadow of the Torturer which shows Severian walking away from a city of spires some art by Eddie Jones that shows people getting out of a UFO and walking towards a massive gate, beyond which is a blood red moon tiny figures in the foreground observe a giant woman sleeping in a lake of blood

Every once in a while I remember how this study of trans masc folks found that *all* of the 21 participants had developed prostate tissue after a median of 4 and a half years on T

And if I had to bet, I'd put money on my doctor and most others treating trans masc patients having no idea?
