in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming

that's solidarity baybeeee

[lgbtlaughs]

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

dragon age timeline very inconsistent don't take it too seriously etc etc but i love taking stupid things seriously so. in wotv1 it's said the varric cassandra da2 interrogation takes place in 9:40 and in IHW its implied by fiona and dorian that the beginning of inquisition is around harvestmere. which is the tenth month. and cullen and leliana seem(?) to have arrived ahead of them. which means cassandra and varric were just on a months long adventure by themselves for no discernable reason that they never talk about. and trying to come up with in-universe reasons they do not talk about this is just giving me Which Could Mean Nothing?

Bold of you to assume that either of them know how to read a map.

[barbeauxbot]

any time I find myself getting too into the weeds with these games and trying to keep lore straight I remember how the devs straight up forgot about the second moon in Inquisition.

So it's just not there and nobody notices its absence.

it’s nice seeing other people starting to open their eyes to what i’ve been saying for a while in that the current use and proliferation of the term “gooning” is an outright tool of fascism

[butchfagminotaur]

the second “gooning” stopped referring to a specific sexual practice and started to be used as a replacement for “masturbation” we needed to kill it immediately and sadly we didn’t

[butchfagminotaur]

if you call someone a “masturbator” in a derisive way you sound like a fucking mormon but suddenly you switch to calling them a “gooner” and you’ve created a way to express the same puritanical beliefs around masturbation that is not only palatable to the average person but the attached underlying implications of the term make people way more susceptible to adopting those beliefs themselves

leftists need to fucking stop using the term “gooner” right fucking now

[butchfagminotaur]

demonizing human sexuality and treating masturbation and sexual activity as deviant and disgusting are straight up fascist tools and it’s startling how successful this aspect of it has been the last few years

Last week I played hookey from work to go see the Sammy Obeid show with some friends and I said I was sick but I wasn't. And now I am sick.

I haven't set foot in a church for fifteen years but I'm still too Catholic for this I KNEW I was going to get punished for my transgressions!

I can't do much but maybe this will interest someone. This cookbook is by a classically trained autistic chef, made for people with sensory issues. It's sold 1/6th of its initial run because apparently no one wants to have an autistic person interviewed on TV.

Apparently it's also very funny.

Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

Spread this around! I bet someone here can use this.

"An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques with a dash of understanding about food aversion and how to help your kids—and yourself—cook beautiful meals in an empowering way, and is a groundbreaking resource for anyone who has ever been called “picky” or “discerning.” Learn how to alter the texture or taste profile of a dish, or even fit it within a specific palette with a unique color-coded guide. Delicious, nutritious, and easily tailored recipes (including for gluten-free and vegan eaters) include:

the perfect smashed cheeseburger

Italian sausage and potato soup

the best omelet

stuffed focaccia 

chocolate pinwheels

and dozens more

Professional chef Matthew Broberg-Moffitt’s advice is broken down by category (The Five Tastes, Texture, Color, Aroma, Presentation, and Plating) in order to address each and every aspect of food aversion, and a Food Preference Profile and Worksheet is included for you and your child to quickly identify and summarize their preferences. Instead of leading to mistrust by disguising or slipping in foods your kids don’t want to eat, this cookbook supports caretakers in a way that maintains a healthy relationship with food, and a joyful, less stressful experience around the table."

I have this, and I recommend! I've only tried a few recipes so far (because I samefood a lot), but they've been a) very good and b) to the extent there are elements that don't work for me, they are very (intentionally) easy to adapt. The only drawback I would warn about is that (in my opinion) he assumes the reader/cook has access to a much larger variety of cooking equipment that a lot of people will have. I haven't had any trouble adapting his instructions to the equipment that is actually in my kitchen, but I could see this tripping up someone who is brand new to cooking.

(Also this book has permanently changed the way I make mashed potatoes. He recommends baking them instead of boiling, and they are incredible.)

[gracechoreography]

My only worry is… what if the author’s safe textures are not the same as my safe textures?

[carriesthewind]

@gracechoreography It's not that kind of cookbook! :) It's designed to help you work with *your* specific needs.

A large chunk of the beginning is entire chapters dedicated to the different senses, and how to cook with your sensory preferences/needs in mind. For example, here is the beginning of the texture chapter:

And then here's an example of how it talks about recipes:

The book is aimed at people who don't have a lot of experience cooking and/or are trying to figure out how to cook for someone with food aversions (like their kid) without prior tools or experience, so it won't blow your mind if you're already been successfully cooking for your food-averse self for well over a decade. But there was a still useful tips in it for me, and also it's just...nice?... to have a cookbook that thinks about food the same way I do.

My father is a classic layabout lazy bastard. He's the guy that people try to stereotype people on benefits as when they call them "dole bludgers". Sits in a filthy house all day whining that his wife won't clean it up, gets a great idea for a new business every few months and gives up after two weeks when it becomes clear that starting a business is hard, does everything he can to avoid doing a single scrap of work in life, uselessly drags his feet when the government forces him to actually do some.

Or at least, he was, until about three years ago, when he was sent off to do mandatory Work for the Dole at a volunteer organisation. He'd done a lot of Work for the Dole in the past, of course, and like most people who are forced to do a shitty job under the threat of starvation, was neither enthusiastic nor particularly useful. But in this particular place, he was given a job that he could do better than anyone else (he was one of 2 men working with a legion of elderly women, and the only person able to easily haul around the heavy goods that the organisation works with). He quickly found himself with a job he could understand, he could see the clear utility in, and that his coworkers greatly valued him for. He started arriving on time every day, putting in the effort, getting shit done. He started caring about the results. And when his Work for the Dole time was up, he kept volunteering.

He's one of two people paid to work in that warehouse now (the other person being the manager), and he's a lynchpin of activity there, their sole regular and reliable source of physical labour. When he takes holidays, they have to plan around it, because his consistent hard work has become such a critical asset to their work. And he's not taking nearly as many holidays as he should -- he works extra unpaid hours, lifts loads that are somewhat heavier than he should be lifting, shoulders the work of others when they need breaks, and we all have to urge him to take more days off for his health since he's not a young man any more. For my entire life this man has been a pile of old mud in the shape of a human, and the instant he found a job that fulfils his needs, he won't fucking stop. He's gonna die in that warehouse and die happy.
