It's now safe to turn off the internet.

Shower thought: An idea I'd had for a random thing to hang on a wall is an old recycled laptop display which silently plays Star Trek: The Motion Picture in slow motion over the course of a day or so and loops.

For as self-indulgent & ponderous the movie was, it was chock full of beautiful frames of sci-fi. Especially for 1979.

Also occurs to me that it would be neat to have running on a smartwatch as wallpaper, if I ever wore one.

Like, just imagine glancing at it from one random moment to another and seeing something like this, entirely removed from context or plot

Bear-y good point 🐻🐻🐻

Hey, we are "Head Cleaner" and this is our new album "Play Both Sides"

It's that time of year where I like to remind everyone that "relatives" and "family" aren't the same thing, nor need they be

Relatives are people you are related to

Family are people who love you

Maybe there's some overlap, maybe there isn't - there's no wrong answer here.

But whatever you do, try not to let your relatives make you feel like you owe them anything - because you don't

Relatives are a cosmic accident, family is a relationship found and built

Anyway, stay safe out there

Allan Horsfall, since last week, is my #UK #LGBT #hero.

In 1964, three years before "homosexuality" was partly decriminalised in the UK, Allan published a brochure calling for #LGBT equality. He used his home address on it.

People wrote to him with their stories, and to request copies of the #brochure to distribute further. This created a queer #community in the UK.

That was before photocopying. He had to find a printing company to typeset and print it.

To all my fedi friends who are attending thanksgiving with, shall we say, difficult family, godspeed. Gird your loins and go on the cousins walk 🍁if you can.
And if you're not seeing difficult family this year, enjoy your celebration ❤️

I made a quilted winter cover for the AC in my living room (in lieu of taking it out), and also a very silly joke.

partner crocheted everyone new muppet stockings this year

hi cis frens!

tomorrow’s thanksgiving in the US

and if you’re worried about making it awkward by calling out your transphobic relatives

MAKE IT AWKWARD

trans rights are so incredibly at risk because transphobia’s been tolerated (same for racism and ableism tbh)

YOU can help stop it

we need you 🩷👇
