In a display case on pink pedestals stand the original stuffed toys belonging to Christopher Robin: Tigger, Pooh, Piglet, Kanga, and Eeyore. They are threadbare and well-loved.

i’m out of the habit of getting poems onto the page but i’ve been thinking all morning about alysa liu’s gorgeous short skate and climate grief and what it means to be in the dazzling 2nd act of your life at 20, in a craft that gives you so little time, in a world that doesn’t seem able to hold it.
ALYSA LIU SKATES AT MILANO CORTINA maybe in our lifetimes we’ll forget that lakes once froze over of their own accord, that children in threadbare mittens, oversized mufflers, stumbling silhouettes with marshmallow middles held this simple dance of joy and fear sacred through the seasons of their lives without ever counting down the years left to try again. maybe the last Olympian to truly love winter has already been born. maybe it’s you. i wonder if you know just how unfair it is, how many people have let you down, have robbed you of your childhood and your twilight in the same breath, have kept you from soft falls and gentle rains and the animal of your own body only to praise you as you rip it all back. for what it’s worth, we’re cheering. for what it’s worth, you’re beautiful. we want to believe: if you can still love this, maybe it’s not too late.

As a threadbare defence, I don't think I've actually heard an official police statement even to confirm the arrest (possibly because any such statement would be completely superfluous with all the wall-to-wall coverage).

It's a point of indulgence watching it stretch out and get more distorted and threadbare thin as she continously forces it over her ever-growing tits month after month~

Gender affirming care is destroying your old shirts through the sheer size of your new HRTitties~

ok yeah here you go #wipwednesday enjoy a dubious power dynamic excerpt. dont worry about silus the oc he knows where he stands in this relationship.
scrivener screenshot -- “If I told you to break up with him,” says Sylvain. “If I said, ‘break up with Silas, right now.’” Sylvain’s eyes are locked onto Ignatz’s face. He’s tapping his foot on the ground, rubbing the top of his knee with his palm. Ignatz takes in all of these signals in an instant. They give him pause more than they tell him anything concrete. “Then I would break up with him,” says Ignatz, deliberately. Sylvain swallows, hard. His voice is threadbare, when he speaks. “The fact that you would do it — makes me feel sick.” “No, it doesn’t.” Sylvain tilts his head back to stare at the ceiling. “Okay, fine,” Sylvain says, more to the ceiling than to Ignatz. “It makes me so horny I want to ruin your life.” [Scene change] the other side of the scene change. Ignatz closes the door and sits down. His heartbeat runs as though it’s under the effects of a dance spell, leaving the rest of his body behind. His blood rushes; his core feels so warm he could explode. He’s doing this on purpose, Ignatz thinks. He wants me to go to someone else. To Silas. Ignatz wonders if he did go to Silas, what would happen. If he let Silas hold him and love him, just for one night. If he then told Sylvain what that encounter was like. He wonders — he wonders, how much Sylvain would want him then. Ignatz rises again and crosses to the window, seeking fresh air before he suffocates himself on the sheer force of desire alone. The cold buffets him. It’s starting to feel like home. Ignatz is twenty-one years old, has been for a few weeks. He is in love with his liege-lord, dating one of his liege-lord’s knights, he has killed, he has stolen, he has committed treason against a nation. He should be above this elaborate game that he and Sylvain play. He is not. He is not anywhere near the point of being resilient enough, forceful enough, sensible enough, to refuse the repetitive and intoxicating game. He loves it. The fantasy in Ignatz’s head as he returns to his bed is not one of completion, or of intersection. He simply imagines that down the hallway, Sylvain is thinking of him, too.

Relatable. It's why I just stick with the threadbare stuff. 🙃

Libraries have the most shockingly threadbare security, they don’t even seem to care if you use your real name. I would genuinely believe any librarian would give a library card to a dog. This is good!!

Through fog and cobblestone, mischief pedals forward.

A raccoon rides a vintage bicycle down a narrow cobblestone street shrouded in pale morning fog. The animal is centered in the frame, balanced upright with small paws gripping the handlebars. Its expression is animated and slightly mischievous, mouth open to reveal small teeth, bright eyes reflecting the muted light. It wears a tattered top hat tilted slightly to one side and a worn, threadbare coat that flutters behind like a frayed cape. The coat’s edges are torn and gauzy, strands trailing in the air as if caught mid-motion. A faded red scarf is knotted loosely at its neck, adding a subtle accent of color against the otherwise earthy tones. The bicycle appears aged, with thin metal spokes and a narrow front wheel dominating the lower center of the composition. The cobblestones beneath are uneven and damp, catching diffused highlights from the hazy atmosphere. On either side of the street, tall buildings fade into soft focus, their windows dim and indistinct. A few blurred human silhouettes linger in the distance, partially obscured by mist. The lighting is cinematic and subdued, filtered through fog that softens edges and deepens shadows. The overall mood blends whimsy with grit, as if a storybook character has wandered into a forgotten industrial alley at dawn.

today was a lot and I am feeling very small, vulnerable, and threadbare.

I keep asking myself, "why do I have to be the brave one? Why do I have to seek to change the system?"

And then I think of all the daughters my friends have, and how I want them to be believed.

So I will endure for them.

A lot of the routes are pre-run and even then Waymos freezing up is a common occurance. Again: it's shonky machine vision & poor capacity to see *anything* reliably. Not signs, not temporary roadworks. It’s the same as everything else: hot air and operating in a country with threadbare regulations.

The architecture + interior is not new, but it's looked after. This might sound be an odd observation but at Hamilton City Council, there are holes in the carpet in the foyer to the chamber, that are a so threadbare they're a tripping hazard. Because upkeep has become easy political point scoring

Not a chance. As we saw in Wales people will vote tactically to keep reform out. The media narrative is already looking threadbare, especially since the indications are that there will be significant economic improvement from April on.

that is an utterly reflexive and threadbare anti-state anti-public argument. art doesn't work that way, it doesn't speak out of one side of its mouth; even ostensible propaganda images are conflictual and invite all kinds of critical imagining. just look at the current regime's aesthetics.

Being at the theatre this morning, where everything is factual, reminded me of this one hit wonder, threadbare denim wearing, former blues cover band from Yorkshire. 😉

Crime 101: It so desperately wants to be Heat, and that's no bad thing to aspire to. Slick, stylish and packed with incredible actors. There are a couple of decent chase scenes too. But the core heist story is kind of threadbare so it ends up feeling a bit hollow. Still pretty decent.

It is flashback chapter hours in the exes to neighbours to lovers fic on this WIPWednesday
Ed watched him go with a raised eyebrow, the man picking up his brandy and taking it to sit outside despite the fact it was a fairly chilly evening and he was in only a threadbare cotton shirt and shorts. Ed personally couldn’t see how his evening was going to be any different than normal; he was actually considering going home shortly. Maybe he’d watch some TV and get an early night rather than sit alone at the bar like he did every Friday. But then. An angel walked in. Well. Maybe not a literal angel but he certainly appeared angelic to Ed. In fact, choral music was going off in his head right now, along with some kind of magical spotlight on the guy. Might also just be the dodgy lamp in Jackie’s that flickers a little.

Instead of amplifying liberal party’s threadbare trope re govt spending being too high @patskarvelas.bsky.social, how about investigating why companies would rather shovel out excessive shareholder dividends, & buy back shares, than increase expenditure on modernisation, diversification & expansion

Think about it like this: When you sit down in front of Antman Vs The Wasp you already know what you are going to get. Godzilla Vs King Kong. Plots so truly threadbare and devoid of new ideas that the climactic scene *is* the name of the movie.
