I need Audible and Kindle to have a 'never show me harry potter' option.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school
“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.” — www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Minneapolis schools cancel classes after Border Patrol clash disrupts dismissal at Roosevelt

#TIL silver balls on cake are not technically food according to the FDA. The idea is they sell them and you remove them before use. Implausible, but then again. Worst case scenario if you eat a fuckton and turn blue, so maybe it's not a priority issue. www.huffpost.com/entry/silver...

And remember there are processes (incl. NHS 111) to get emergency supplies of repeat prescriptions

Like all sentient life, I am sustained by a loose assemblage of comforting delusions.
Chief among them is the quiet belief that, eventually, ‘These Cunts’ will just fuck off of their own accord.
However, you find me now, at 1:17am, having what can only be called a crises of faith.

Hey @bristoluni.bsky.social , why are you hosting a talk by noted transphobe Alice Sullivan? She promoted UCL dropping Stonewall as an independent voice to help them with queer inclusion, and made UCL less trans friendly. You want more of that?
