it still thinks that fedi servers should just allow inline css in posts and most html tags. fedi devs are just boring

Honey, remember you are amazing. Even with so many scars, everyone thinks the moon is beautiful. And so are you.

I bring you today some stuff of nightmares:

Have you ever seen a website that is not under construction?

Can anyone recommend any Black Death dramas? I'm kind of fascinated by the enormity of it.

I have seen and love The Decamaron. Would prefer less of a comedy, though. Book recs also good.

Specifically looking for fiction here. I have consumed a lot of up-to-the-minute research on this, I want to explore it imaginatively now.

You see, Watson, the door was locked from the inside. The murderer wouldn't have been able to leave the room.

So what killed the Duke? If there was ...

Boredom, Holmes interrupted me impatiently. The Duke was bored. And so am I. Frankly, I can't be bothered to find out what happened to the knife. Lestrade will come up with something to put into his report. The Duke is dead, one way or the other.

Holmes hurriedly gathered his instruments. If we leave now, we can still get onto the 11.32 to Victoria. I have a three o'clock appointment with Lord Holleyhall, in his Mayfair offices. He wants me to become a partner in his hedge fund. They have their own cook on the premises, did you know that, Watson? Holleyhall snatched him from the Deux Chevaux in Paris, he doubled his pay. The good life, Watson, the good life.

#WritersCoffeeClub 18: Have you written something blasphemous? Tell us about it.

I'm an atheist who had a non-mainstream religious upbringing and I blaspheme gleefully and at length at every opportunity against any religion that privileges dogma over humanity.

im a hopeless lesbian romantic except i'm not lesbian i'm bi but same thing. i feel like my gender tends to adapt to the people around me, that kind of thing, because i don't really feel myself as a specific gender.

تازه رسیدم خونه و خیلی خسته‌م

It pisses me off that some stupid Iranians are advocating for Charlie Kirk, just because they found some word of his aligned with their agenda. Without knowing the whole ideology of his. Obviously, I'm sad that he got killed, it's not ok to hurt anybody. But at the same time, it's a typical behaviour of Iranians that idolize and worship people after their death. Think for yourself idiots that why you're in this shit already. Think

Dear #Tusky beta testers, how is v31 going? Release for everyone, yay or nay?

I don't know what the more usual collective noun is for sparrows, but I think a cacophony should be acceptable.

Absolutely delighted to meet LaurieWired. They say you shouldn't meet your idols but Laurie was lovely and graciously let me get a selfie! If you don't follow her or subscribe to her YouTube channel; go to so now! https://youtube.com/@lauriewired

Social media post by EricTastic: He was killed on camera. No one's family deserves to have to witness that. It's unthinkably cruel that people would then go on the internet and use their platform to say about an innocent man that "I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." I'm talking about George Floyd. You thought I was talking about Charlie Kirk? No, those are actual quotes BY Charlie Kirk about George Floyd. Outrageous that anyone would say that of the dead, right?

It's live! I've been working on the "Refugium Starter Kit," a guide to help you change stress & anxiety about <gestures at the world> into a protective or restorative project making things just a little better.

A refugium is a protected place that supports life, even if the area around might be inhospitable. We certainly need whatever unique refugium is right for YOU to make.
