Me: It's not fair, I want to be an anteater, why do other people get to be anteaters but not me?
Tim: Nepotism. I have it on good authority that all current anteaters had parents who were ones as well

Sometimes spotting fake history is very easy.
I knew this photo does not show a WW2 photographer in 1944... because it's my old pal Seimon from Wales.
To compare a photo of him on the set of Band of Brothers.
I'll share Seimon's amazing photography work in the future.

The war on trans women is a covert insistence on the enforcement of traditional gender norms. You don't just have to be a cis female, you have to perform feminity to the correct standard so you don't get questioned and harassed and honestly no, fuck that noise
BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.”
No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time.
And it’s coming to your city next.

I always go on about medieval bathing, but what happened during the Renaissance?
Did things really get worse?
And how did women who visited spa's without their husbands mysteriously ended up getting pregnant?!

NASA celebrated this employee's story of resilience, then tried to scrub it from the internet. Then fired her.

Simone Biles shared a very important message: “The world doesn’t need you to be perfect. It needs you to be bold, it needs you to care, and to keep going even when things don’t go as planned. So go out there and write your own story — one that only you can tell.”

Further #gaming update - a bomb at the stage has been successfully defused, the anarchists are angry at us for not taking their side (they do make fair points about the Dendalus political system, but you can't let people do a terrorism just because they don't like the distribution of power) #ttrpg

Oh man, I would love to go to this!
The exhibition "Tattoo. Antiquity beneath the skin" at Museum August Kestner opens next week and today the big facade banner was installed. It's very exciting to see everything come together.
