Just to make it very clear where I stand—I am a huge fan of vaccination, it has saved literally millions of lives and is a force for great good in this world

I’m currently in a vaccine trial and volunteer with vaccine involvement work (ask me about involvement!)

So many stories which make me think of The Patrician in Pratchett’s Jingo:

‘As they say, "If you would seek war, prepare for war."’

I would rather we didn’t have a war
Excerpt from Jingo: Down below, Lord Vetinari took his turn to peer through the pipe. 'So many ships,' he said. 'In such a short time, too. How very well organized. Very well organized. One might almost say ... astonishingly well organized. As they say, "If you would seek war, prepare for war." 'I believe, my lord, the saying is "If you would seek peace, prepare for war,'" Leonard ventured. Vetinari put his head on one side and his lips moved as he repeated the phrase to himself. Finally he said, 'No, no. I just don't see that one at all.' He ducked back into his seat. "Let us proceed with care.' he said. 'We can go ashore…”

2 cute pumpkin-headed characters wearing red dresses with white collars. The title is "I have two moods" the standing character has a frown and says "Not hee hee." The sitting one is looking up, with a smile, says "Hee hee."

An outfit a day, 27th December 2025

New dress!
Rosewind wears an Elsie style dress (yes I have a few of them) this one is covered in jars of potions which contain skulls and eye balls and fungi and there are crystals and cauldrons etc The colour scheme is deep blue and sort of luminous greens and blues…very witchy Elsie dress: This soft and flattering dress creates an hourglass silhouette with its feminine draping and wrap-around design. The plunging V-neckline and cinched waist draw the eye inward, while gentle gathering and a cascade of flares accentuate the hips. Finished with a slim, asymmetrical hemline that falls just below the knee.

an easy way to understand this is that people make clothes cool and not the other way around. so our judgement of what looks "good" is often shaped by the cultural capital of various social groups. punks, skaters, hip hop heads, etc look stylish simply bc they are cool. thus money is not a barrier.

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, when the original Americans helped foreigners arriving in small boats, who couldn’t feed themselves, to survive the winter.

Christians celebrate Christmas when shepherds and wizards helped hide a refugee family from an oppressive regime.

Have I got this right?

33) Punchbot. For dealing with Nazis. #SmallRobotsRemastered
A spherical robot held aloft by a propeller on its top, with little triangular stabilising wings on either side of it. Attached to its front is a large boxing glove mounted on a spring which is being flung outwards, presumably towards an unseen Nazi. The robot looks extremely angry, with close-set eyes beneath glowering brows, and a severely down-turned mouth.

Can I just say how much I hate that Leon stole from a pretentious Heinlein story when he named “Grok”? Doubly pretentious. It was cringe before cringe was a thing.

"By replacing rigorous evaluation with a process engineered to deliver preordained outcomes, the administration is trashing science. The Guinea-Bissau trial is the worst manifestation of this anti-science, anti-human perspective."
