So two of the kids I watch gathered that I am a witch because A: I like bugs B: My hair is purple and C: my bones make weird sounds. They very much like me and call me the nice witch.

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.”

being anti-divorce is so fucking bonkers to me like yeah i think you're morally obligated to stay with some shithead who you hate forever. this is a normal and healthy thing to believe. let's have kids together and force them to grow up being raised by two people who hate each other. yeah this might fuck them up mentally during the most formative years of their life but it's the morally righteous thing to do. if there's one thing god loves it's traumatized children. i'm getting into heaven for sure

Jesus Tapdancing Christ... THIS is a good welt pocket and the people who designed Simplicity 2895 ought to be blasted well ASHAMED of themselves for the crap way THEY wanted a welt pocket made. *SNARLS*

[makereadgrow]

This is how I learned to do it and a good example of what you want to see in a short form tutorial: pinning, pressing, seam finishing, good fabric handling.

I would mention that you can make the pocket facing with a small panel of your matching fabric that is visible and the rest in a lighter fabric to reduce bulk. That's a lot of denim layers for comfort.

HOT DAMN

I’m so mad that reblogs got turned off for this post because this is literally it. This is so important

[heedra]

really losing my patience for any 'feminist' statement to the tune of 'we need feminism because women fill a fundamentally different and necessary role than men and will be better at doing x y or z'. like actually i think we need feminism because it is an unbearable death of the spirit by inches to exist in a world where you are not seen as a fully realized human being because of a single cultural determination, and because a world that enshrines such things creates systems that are fundamentally sick to the core

happy pride month

[kropotkindersurprise]

1 may 2015 - Thousands of anti-capitalist protesters took to the streets of Milan to protest the opening of the international exhibition ‘Expo Milano 2015’. During the march a smoke screen was created, from which a large black bloc emerged. For an hour the black bloc fought the riot police and attacked banks and shops, only to disappear again in another smoke screen, leaving behind only piles of black masks, gloves and jackets. [video]/[video]

[dostoyevsky-official]

for over a decade, i've seen posts warning against tearing down stickers because of razor blades behind the sticker. i've torn down hundreds of stickers, and i've never encountered this—i think the razor blade myth makes people less likely to tear down stickers

[dostoyevsky-official]

ok maybe take precautions and use a key to do it (which makes it easier anyway)

[kropotkindersurprise]

yeah, noone got hurt by this because if youve ever taken down a sticker it's extremely obvious if there's anything weird glued under the edges of the sticker, and even if you didnt notice it would be hard to hurt yourself. It's more dangerous with like A4 posters that you might try to rip down in one motion by hand. and then if you do it cautiously there is zero danger again.

[kropotkindersurprise]

I personally just tear down stickers (and save them for my fascist sticker collection!) and then cover the spot up with an antifa sticker. I have done this hundreds of times without ever finding a razor. I have torn down pro-israel stickers in those mentioned months and never found a razor.

I agree that people scaring others about possible razors are more effective at keeping nazi propaganda up than anything else, and that worrying about that is stupid UNLESSS youve heard a specific warning in your city in that month. So. ideally, if you havent heard anyone mentioning personally finding razors under stickers in your city this month, you should shut the hell up warning people about them, because its basically never an issue.

[3liza]

i also havent found any razor blades despite doing hundreds of sticker actions but i suppose it's always possible.

since i dont see sticker posts much i will take this opportunity to add that a good way to piss off the other side if youre engaged in a sticker war is to remove their sticker carefully, clean the surface (alcohol wipes work great for this) so its maximally sticky, and after you apply your sticker, cover it in a layer of any kind of grease. chapstick, baby oil, vaseline, doesnt matter. it will make your sticker impossible to put another sticker on top of, and extremely difficult to grab and pull off the surface without being physically injurious to anyone (including janitorial staff if applicable). im in favor of physically injuring fascists, but razorblades seem like a high risk for collateral damage. an optional step is using industrial adhesives or wood glue to glue stickers down but this is time-intensive. still, the "wheatpastes" i put up on capital hill with wood glue instead of actual wheat paste lasted like three years. all i had to do was dilute basic elmer's wood glue with water and apply with a spray bottle and brush if i was being fancy

[flowerbleedme]

My incredibly bleak philosophy of compassion is that we should all pity each other horribly and practice an according amount of kindness.

[flowerbleedme]

I asked for a pastry at the coffee shop. When I raised my card up to pay, he simply said "you're good." and waved it away. I wondered why. I wondered what made him think I deserved to have my order be free. Sparing me those two dollars.

Sitting down at the table, I remembered the scars on my arm. The universal signifier of "This Kid Needs Help." Maybe his kindness was only out of pity. He saw those and assumed there was some great misery and wanted to offer me some relief. It's generally good to be kind to people who are hurting. But I wasn't hurting that bad.

The thing is, there is some great misery. People generally aren't doing that great. There is a great misery within me and within him and within everyone, and some people notice the pain, some people express it, others don't. But we all suffer from something.

It doesn't matter if someone seems to deserve some relief. Everyone needs it. Everyone is suffering constantly. Some more than others, but still. This Kid Needs Help applies to everyone.

Thirty minutes later, I went to get a second pastry, intending to pay and leave a tip this time. It was the same cashier. As he reached to grab it for me, I saw scars on his arm.

But it doesn't really matter. He'd deserve a tip anyway. Because it's never just us hurting.

hey as long as discourse on whether joining the military is bad or not (it is) is doing the rounds again, i’d like to remind everyone that people who were in the military but are not any longer are not ontologically incapable of being leftists or good people. many of the military’s harshest critics are vets. they’ve seen what the military can do. they’ve personally been chewed up and spat. so have their friends. they know first hand the horrors the military has inflicted on the world.

obviously many vets never stop drinking the kool-aid. but many others do. and we shouldn’t reject them as comrades. chelsea manning was in the army before becoming a whistleblower. edward snowden was in the nsa. etc. yes call out people for joining, keep pointing out it’s wrong to kill people for money. even if you’re poor. even if you’re ignorant. but don’t condemn someone solely for their past if they’ve done the hard work of learning and growing. i think it’s pretty easy to walk and chew gum on this one. but it’s easy for some of us to forget that we have to.

[anarchistmemedistro]

[athena5898]

Listen, leftist ex-vets are some of your stalwart allies. Some of my best friends are vets and they have to live with that guilt for the rest of their lives, but they are also very informative of how the system works and are able to see things that a lot of people who havn't been in the system like that.
