I posted about this dress back in 2018, one of the first years I began to do my #ootd. Even from all that time ago, I have never forgotten this dress- a 1900-05 Doucet robe a transformation. It was therefore such a pleasure to see it in person at the #PaulPoiret exhibit. Once again, it was there

#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit.
Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil.

Bitly is adding advertising interstitials to its free QR code service. Which I guess is part of trying to balance the cost and revenue.
But it is also doing so retroactively even for existing codes. Which is a really shitty thing to do.

Remember that in order for hatred to be multiplied, it must be engaged with.
Don’t “dunk” on racist/transphoic takes - block them.
Don’t entertain trolls and bad-faith individuals - block them.
Don’t let the people assailing those you love encroach on YOUR space. Kick them out and lock the door.

So I wrote this, and it's the best thing I've ever written.
"We will resolve disputes in favor of protecting users as a whole."
That right there. That tells everyone how Trust & Safety is going to act, and it gives T&S profound latitude. They're not there to rules-lawyer or first-amendment.
