And now in June, we celebrate the queer community's liberation, which totally happened by walking up to a politician and asking "hey can we please not get assaulted and thrown into prison or a mental ward for existing? πŸ₯Ί", to which the politician responded "oh, I've spent my entire life thinking you guys were perverted mentally ill sinners that should be drawn and quartered, but sure! ☺️"

Oh, but it's use of force and not violence when we do it!

Also I'd say that peaceful and violent aren't binary. Like, there's standing somewhere holding signs without being distruptive, then there's civil disobedience like blocking traffic without being actually violent, then there's protests where protestors will use violence to defend themselves if they have to without actively seeking to engage in violent acts, and then there's straight up rioting, where people go out their way to attack people, or smash windows or burn cars and shit.

And, of course, it varies from person to person. If there's protest X happening, one person could think of is as violent (or call it violent as a way of propaganda) while one person wouldn't.

Bolsheviks, Stonewall riots, suffragettes, all famously peaceful movements that got their rights by staying on their knees and asking nicely.

Okay that is a pretty nice deck. I looked at it for a while and started thinking about decorating it.

I've never heard any Brit say UK isn't Europe. Are you confusing Europe, a continent one cannot secede from without moving tectonic plates or waiting billions of years, with EU, the European union, a political union?

And before anyone makes a cheeky "what do you need this for 🀨" comment, I'm a writer. I'm not going to murder anyone I promise, I just want to write a scene where one guy gets poisoned.

I need something that doesn't require modern technology to extract/produce, and would make sense to be avaible in a place with a temperate to mediterranean climate. The slower, the better. Does a plant or something like that exist or do I need to make one up?

Update: I looked into death cap mushrooms and they might be just what I'm looking for! Long reaction time, and being dried doesn't make them less toxic! (the scene takes place in midwinter so no fresh ones would be avaible) If anyone has more info on them, please do share.

I got 150€ as a birthday gift and thought that combined with the small amount of money I have, I might just have enough to get an old used laptop. The thing is, I'm not tech savvy and don't know what kind would be a good choice.

I'd want something old enough to have a DVD slot. Other requirements are having space and battery life, though I don't think I can have very high standards on my budget. I'd want something that lasts a long time, not some planned obsolence bs.

Are Thinkpads any good? I have been using one for school and think that a Thinkpad might be okay if it just didn't run Windows. I have been thinking about getting an older Thinkpad and downloading Linux on it, but from what I have heard, Linux seems to be complicated for someone who is not that good with tech. Any thoughts?

 

So, in front of our kitchen window, over 200 meters away, there's this place where they keep buses when they're not in use. A part of the building is a parking lot, for the bus drivers own cars.

And then there's this fucker. Every evening they get into their car and turn on those horrible headlights that hurt my eyes, from 200+ meters away, which is very fun when the kitchen is dark. They're so bright that if the curtains are open and it's entirely dark inside, they illuminate the entire room.

I made an illustration of this:

 

Amuse me, my jester army.

I keep hearing excuses like "but your highness the entire crop was destroyed and we're starving" or "but my lord I'm dying of the plague". Like ok? That sounds like a you problem. Someone has to do all the work around here and that someone's not going to be me.
