When your entire message is one of compassion and understanding, why would you engage in hate and harmful discourse? Report, block and move on is the only way. Trans people are not a debate. We are focused on finding women who feel the same: notinourname.org.uk

The blue drop found a home already, the oval is still up for grabs.

Five book covers against a background that fades from a blue-tone pattern of circuitry to a beige-toned runes. The first three books are under the heading of Android Ardour and are titled: An Unexpected Attachment, Too Hot to Handle, and Synthetic Agency. They each feature the torso of a well-toned man in the process of undressing against a background of circuitry. The other two books are under the heading: The Sussuran Chronicles. The first is called Oviposition and features the silhouette of a man in a cave surrounded by tentacles. The second is called Ruinous Attraction and features a drawing of two naked men embracing on the floor against a background of runes. All books are by Ruby Jones.

#WIPSnips | gold

For context here, Viola's come to see Jenny Goldenfang because one of Jenny's grandkids has been running messages for Archer and Viola wants to know where Archer and Sabbat have disappeared off to.

( saranadosfiction.com/2022/08/01/s... )
“And what makes you think she’d know a thing like that, girl?” “I… She’s obviously trustworthy, or he wouldn’t have entrusted even a coded letter to her. I was hoping that, even if he’d not told her outright, she might have overheard something.” “So you’re accusing her of listening at keyholes, are you?” *Careful. What would one of the clan elders expect from a question like that?* “No, ma’am. I’m saying she’s smart enough to keep her ears open and her mouth shut, especially when it comes to business that might go sour.” Jenny stared at her for a long minute. Then she threw back her head and laughed, long and loud, her gold fang glittering in the snow-light streaming through the window. “Good lass! You’re not far from the mark, though she’s a few more years yet before she can do that without getting herself distracted by every passing butterfly.” *Thank the ancestors for that. Apparently grandmothers are the same the world over – or, at least, werewolf matriarchs are.* “Is she here, then?” “Aye, she is. But she’s not who you need to be talking to if you’re asking after where those two boys have taken themselves off to.” She settled back in her chair, taking another long swig from her tankard, and looked Viola up and down, her gaze seeming to take in everything from her messy braid to the mud caked between her toes. “I’m taking it you know the both of them well enough to know what it is they’re up to.”

“ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval. And the noise has the added benefit of drawing large crowds of bystanders who can quickly outnumber the ICE agents.”
nbedera.bsky.social Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 15h
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Rotating more AUs in my head (don't worry, the one I'm currently working on isn't going anywhere) and realising that anything mech-shaped and NSFW *very* much involves Archer's possessiveness ramping up a notch.

An arched doorway, made of wood, in South West France, which I wanted to open, but chickened out of doing at the last minute due to the fact I have a weak heart. A very fancy panelled wooden door in South West France in a building which, if it was for sale, I would probably buy just for its door, without even checking out what it looks like inside This French door looks a bit fucked and has an elitist letterbox which hates small people but don't write it off. I bet the rooms behind it are fucking great. A French double door to a garage for tiny cars, which has two square eyes which see everything. And I mean *everything*.

Of the above, I took photos one and two near Hambledon Hill in Dorset. Three was taken in Buckland-in-the-Moor on Dartmoor and four was taken in the village of Strete, between Dartmouth and Torcross.

Here's another big favourite, from Manaton, on Dartmoor.
An impressively solid wooden door in a stone archway, surrounded by a granite wall, which, if you open it with a special massive key, will take you directly to a version of the 14th Century with no plague and significantly more psychedelic music and witchcraft.

This might well become a thread.

I am calling it 'Bloody Hell, Aren't Doors On Old Walls Fucking Brilliant?'
An intriguing door in a very posh but non-smug non-judgemental old wall. A door in an old wall leading to a garden where you can bet there is a fucking crazy party happening An old door in an old wall which is so arrogantly great, it’s almost disgusting. Some dickhead had better not try to paint this great messed up old door in an even older wall or I am going over there with some people I know, and I am not kidding.

When my father refloored the verandah a few months ago, he left one plank out long with no explanation. We didn't ask, it's his verandah, after all. Harmless.

We just found out why.

Sometimes you send something you found online to a friend because you want to brighten their day, and sometimes you send something you found online to a friend with the precise attitude and bearing of a cat very carefully lining up their paw with the back of another cat's head.

If you're in the UK gaming accessibility space, the BSL Gaming Glossary is a really awesome resource to keep an eye on.

If you can BSL Finger Spell a lot of the terms so far on the glossary are going to be really easy and intuative to learn, and be memorable if you've got existing gaming knowledge.
