The thing is that the legacy of oliver cromwell is more complex within the context of ireland than most people know and both nuance and careful attention to historical context are essential in discussion of it but making fun of him online is SO fun

[twoblogger]

There's nuance or whatever but that being said I think that to solve the issue of there not being enough gender neutral toilets in ireland we should steal cromwell's severed mummified head from whoever has it and

Blacksad: They All Fall Down Part 2

[homunculus-argument]

Making your own accessories as DIY crafts is so simple in theory, but then in practice you're sitting there like ??? I have agency?? I have the power to alter my environment at will, to create something I want to own, just from the materials that I already have??? I can just do this, and nobody in my life will pop the joy out of it by gently asking if I really don't worry about everyone who will judge me by how messy it looks. It's going to be messy, grungy and rough, that's the point. I am making something that I want to make, because I can. I have not only the freedom, but the duty to decide who I am and what I make of this world.

I am the one who chooses when and how this thread is cut.
