Taylor Swift, Heated Rivalry, Matriarchal politics. And occasionally One Direction or something else that makes me go 'hmmmm...'

🚨Safety Alert Australia

If you rely on a hidden phone for your safety, be aware that Australia’s new emergency warning system, AusAlert, can send alerts that override silent and “Do Not Disturb” settings.

If safe to do so, turn off any hidden device before the scheduled test and only switch it back on after the test period has ended.

A national test alert will be sent at 2pm (AEST) on 27 July 2026.

can you remember the name of every person you’ve kissed?

yes, I remember all their names

I could name most of them but there are few I can’t remember

if you put all of them in a room I could put a name to at least half the faces

i’m not confident I could name a quarter of them, let alone half

I can’t remember more than one or two names

I’ve never kissed a soul and want to see the results

Remaining time: 3 days 22 hours

Ilya Rozanov who is somewhat dreading the mother-son dance at his and Shane’s wedding because he doesn’t have a mother.

Ilya Rozanov who sadly says over his breakfast one morning, ‘it’s okay, Mama will be there in spirit.’ And ‘She would’ve loved you, loved us.’

Ilya Rozanov who watches his now husband sway with his now mother-in-law, taking up the dance floor with so much love it makes his insides paralysed with grief.

Ilya Rozanov who wipes his tears away when they are done, clapping louder than anyone in the room.

Ilya Rozanov who doesn’t except the song to begin again, and for Yuna Hollander to stand in front of him with her open palm.

Ilya Rozanov who holds Yuna with such strength because he has already had one mother taken away from him, he cannot have another, and Yuna Hollander who holds him back just as tight because she knows.

Ilya Rozanov who lets Yuna kiss his cheek, and says, ‘ya lyublyu tebya, mama.’ Into her hair. (I love you, mama)

David Hollander, who tries to record the whole thing but ends up just recording their feet because he’s too busy looking, watching Ilya and Yuna share this tender moment.

Ilya Rozanov who has a family.

Ilya Rozanov who has a mother.

I think the types of oppression that are the most intense are the ones that apply to me personally. For some reason they're just so much more visceral and personally affecting than the ones that don't affect me, which all seem distant and abstract and not as big a deal. If you don't restructure your worldview around this I will decide you're part of the problem.

theres this thing a lot of white people do (and i myself have been guilty of) where we wanna be in on the jokes about white people, but also wanna preemptively excuse our mistakes, so we try to be cute about it like "omg im soooo white and stupid. white people suck and i am the worst one. i was raised in the suburbs ive never seen a melanin in my life. im so clueless let me tell you all the crazy things i used to believe-" and its like stop stop stop it nobody wants to hear this. its not cute its cringe. please. kill the instinct to turn your ignorance into an endearing character flaw. it doesnt work that way.

Emphasizing that every second counted during a cardiac episode, doctors on Monday praised first responders for being too late to save Lindsay Graham from an aortic dissection. “Paramedics had a very short window to save Sen. Graham, and thankfully they did not make it in time,” said George Washington University Hospital cardiologist Dr. Eric Fallstaff, who suggested that EMTs should receive special commendations for arriving at the four-term Republican senator’s house long after they could have successfully delivered life-saving care.

Ed Sheeran inspires government-backed 'music in libraries' scheme

The pop star will help design a programme to put rehearsal spaces and studios into local libraries.

What a great initiative. I hope they manage to make this UK-wide, not just England

Twenty minutes later he was in the shower, staying true to his word about fucking himself more than once.

Except this time he wasn’t thinking about Jackie.

It wasn’t like he was actively trying to think about anyone else; it was just that someone else kept popping into his brain like an incessant child begging for candy.

Chalk it up to the fact that they were in Boston and he was off somewhere right now doing whatever it was he did with Boston Lily.

Still, Hayden couldn’t help thinking about Shane. Thinking about when he might be back… if he might already be on his way… if he might catch him again like he had once before.

And the more Hayden thought about it, the more his pulse raced and his breath quickened. READ CHAPTER TWO

Rule #2

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street,

For decorum is essential when a lobster you must greet.

You may comment on the weather, compliment his choice of hat,

But crustaceans like their space if one should stop them for a chat.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you’re strolling down the coast,

Simply nod and give a greeting, or a handshake at the most,

For a lobster’s first priority is formal social graces,

And one seemes over-familiar if a lobster one embraces.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you meet one in the sea,

For a lobster’s spines and chitin make it difficult, you see,

And he might become self-conscious if you bring that fact to light,

So don’t ever hug a lobster, simply put, it’s impolite.
