Tess

Me out loud: cuuute 😍
Me reading the post: ohhh!

Two men posing for a selfie outdoors. The younger man is in the foreground, wearing a white hoodie and looking at the camera. The older man is behind him, wearing a striped shirt and holding a metal pole. Buildings and temporary shelters are visible in the background.

A young man in a white hoodie, looking to the side, surrounded by tarps.

Woman in a black hijab holding tent poles, with other people working on a tent in a refugee camp setting.

Our tent is gone, and the cold is very harsh. We are now without shelter. My parents are sick, and we urgently need a tent. $265 is still needed to buy a tent to shelter us.

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

he just heard about the collapse of Yogoslavia

Yeah!

If they invent a cigarette that makes you thicc I am absolutely taking up smoking again

Immediately following an entire garlic bread with ~150g of peanut butter (and some apples) to tide me over until tonight's dinner: a whole bag of birds eye roast potatoes baked with half a bag of shredded cheese, because apparently you "can't gain weight from just black coffee and nicotine" 🙄🙄🙄

This bad girl right here (not in a kink way I mean I'm bad at being a girl. Where do you get eyeliner that doesn't sweat off. What am I supposed to do with this much hair. You can buy one bra two years ago and wear it forever, right? How much garlic bread is normal to eat, for a girl. etc)

(Slaps own tummy) this bad girl can fit so many garlic breads inside her ☺️

It turned up in a non-trans discord I'm in (turns out they make those!) and I kept my mouth fucking shut

I read Tess of the D'Urbervilles and felt seen. You know. Normal teenage boy things.

"But don't you have the PBS?"
Being able to pay $7.20 for a box of tablets means sweet fuck and all if the appointment to get the prescription is $400 AFTER concessions.
I get $900 a fortnight. $400 is an entire two weeks worth of consumables.

Remember that the first Mad Max was set in a society that still had train timetables, law courts, payrolls, vacations, B&B's, and, presumably, rego. Everything after, aka the bits you remember, is extrapolated from if the oil crisis of the time just never ended 🙂

boosting now so that later, when it turns out George Miller was right, Phonakins can still make supply and medicine runs (and for now, foodbank and hospital trips)

Oh my god they deleted the post about bringing back Josh Wheaton's Firefox

Vascular Embolism, for the way he's gone straight to my heart 🥹 (Vascule for short)

Trans people are being displaced and the AIDS crisis is well within living memory but liberal Zionists want you to think that the West is an eternal paragon of safety for queer people while the scary nasty Arabs are the only people on earth who hate us

FREE HIM!

Tess is a delight, and dealing with some financial difficulty! You know what to do!

hello darlings

today is my birthday, and for my birthday (if you feel inclined) I would like three things

- tell someone you love them sometime today

- donate to a mutual aid fund (or better yet, give money directly to trans people)

- preorder my boooook ⤵️

Super stoked to say my new article for Settler Colonial Studies has been published online! If you want to know the deep reasons why Australia is full of mynas, blackbirds, sparrows, starlings, spotted doves and other Eurasian birds, then look no further. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We all got that one friend whose new podcast is clearly a cry for help

Sci fi has a famously narrow field of narrative potential, once you've tapped the wars/gate/trek markets there's very little to be done with the genre, but the thing about sci fi fans is they would genuinely rather have more Picard season 2 than something scary and unfamiliar, possibly even alien

What if we made new, original sci fi instead. Like, just a thought, from someone with a rave reviewed, award winning, original sci fi show you haven't seen yet because instead of backing original properties (the approach that GAVE US Firefly) studios will only greenlight stuff like Firefly reboots
