Yesss
"home made"

Something to aspire to. 😜
This is the most BALLER coat of arms ever. Designed for Mór Balazs who created the Budapest Metro when he was enobled.

Pretty certain that motto can be translated as "the hard/tough road"

Which is some serious chivalric subtweeting.
Damn right we were. London represent!

Americans trying to work out how to catch, board and behave on buses are a European menace. 😂
"Larry! He won't take a 10,000 note."

"Okay hun. Ask him to wait there while I go get change."

🤔😂😂
NARRATOR: He did not wait.

Tank spotted!
Solid start in the Military museum.
I love getting to a museum when it opens and is still empty.

For the 1st screening of Star Wars, before the special effects were finished, Lucas cut it with Dambusters and 633 Squadron footage in place of the Death Star run confusing the execs

Spielberg was there tho and says it was the moment he knew SW would work
Spielberg described this viewing experience in his interview on the bonus cassette that came with the first remastered video release from the 90s.

I've no idea how you'd ever properly reference that in a paper, but luckily stuff like that's @SpitfireFilly's problem not mine. 😁
@SpitfireFilly (I remember this vividly because, as a teenager, it blew my mind and made me realize my scifi nerdery and military history nerdery were two halves of the same coin)

Really too bad yesterday's ANN article totally debunked the "casting couch" rumors

Poor conVics are gonna take across-the-board Ls on everything 🙃

First loss was yesterday (denying one of their Motions to Strike), main hearing is tomorrow, ruling is on or before October 7

ConVics know the loss is coming so they're more mad than usual

Today, I will try my hand at live tweeting insights from "A #Home of One's Own", a two-day #researchworkshop on socially & economically #marginalised women's experiences of and negotiations with #genderinequalities in #informalurbanhousing in India.
This workshop has been organised by #JadavpurUniversity (School of Women's Studies), #RabindraBharathiUniversity (Centre for Women's Studies) and #Parichiti, a women's organisation. All three are research partners on a #GCRF project funded by @GoldsmithsUoL.
Since Oct 2018, I have collaborated with Dr. Henrike Donner, who is leading it, to develop #researchcollaborations with #educational and #development organisations in India to implement a pilot study on #genderurbanhousing. This workshop marks the end of the first phase.

"You can't come, TehTeh," Jeongguk tells him as he packs his little Cinnamoroll backpack, putting in the most vital essentials of survival.

Colouring pencils, his DS, spare pair of undies, three different kinds of lollipops and a plastic fork.

He's always prepared.
"Why not?" Taehyung squeaks, his own Pompompurin backpack hanging limp in his hand.

Jeongguk adds a pack of stickers, just in case. Never know when you're gonna need them.

He sighs, conflicted. This is tough.

He needs to be delicate about this. "They don't like you."

Okay.
"They don't like me?" Taehyung repeats. "Why not?"

"They think you're scarwy." Jeongguk sighs.

Taehyung processes that, looking down at himself. He looks at his sharp black claws and and tongues over his fangs.

Pft.

He /knows/ he looks cuddly.

Something I don't think gets said often enough:

Bigots just make things up.

When you see a bigot making known their position on an issue, 9 times out of 10, that issue isn't real.

It's a ridiculous strawman they are pulling out of their ass and pretending the people they hate
are in support of because arguing against made up thing allows them to say things that sound at least halfway reasonable, whereas if they didn't make up these talking points, all they would be able to say is "I hate people who are different than me and would like them all to die"
Case in point here:
A bigot shouts "We have to stop all these trans people!"

Why they're really saying that- "I think they're gross! Can someone please kill them all or put them in a big box where I don't have to think about them?"

That's over everyone's line, so they fabricate

This is like a fortune cookie that offers a template for evaluating things you may feel “stuck” with. Here’s mine. /1
Yesterday I went 2 see my chiropractor, a guy I’ve known for 20 yrs. I’d just returned from a trip 2 Italy so we got started talking about that. But we quickly veered off in2 politics. No surprise:he’s a conservative evangelical Trump supporter, I’m a Jewish centrist Democrat. /2
It started with him bringing up the attack on my synagogue in Pittsburgh with him adding a side comment about how the incidence of such attacks is up because more people than ever are taking antidepressants. “Really?” I said. /3
