Qatherine is standing on a black mat between the strands of her multicordes. Her arms are spread wide to hold the two halves of the multicordes apart. They are learning forward and looking out between the strands with a big smile.
I really liked your game @localthunk.com 🥺🃏
Qatherine is in the air on a multicordes apparatus consisting of many strands of thin white rope. She is wearing a red and orange three-pointed jester hat and a blue jester neck ruff that look like the Joker character from the game Balatro. Under that, she is wearing a gray leotard with black detail that mimics the top worn by Joker from Persona 5 and black shorts with cut-outs. It is difficult to see details, but she is wearing white and black makeup to mimic Persona 5 Joker’s domino mask. The multicordes are divided into two sections; one section is wrapped under her knee and over her shoulder and the other section is in her hand. Both of their knees are dramatically bent and their feet are flexed.
The multicordes is divided into 4 sections. Qatherine has one section in each hand, and the remaining sections are wrapped around her thighs and holding her upright. Their left leg is extended and their right leg is in a passe position. She is looking over her shoulder and smiling.
Qatherine has taken off the jester hat and ruff. She is at the top of the multicordes and wrapped with all the strands with the pole behind her back. Her knees are bent behind her and feet are flexed. Their left hand is raised and in a similar shape to their legs, elbow bent and wrist flexed; their right hand is holding the pole behind theme. She is looking over her left shoulder and the makeup of her white and black domino mask is visible. The lighting is quite dramatic in red and blue tones.
Qatherine is hanging right side up in the air with her legs extended down and arms extended at shoulder height. The multicordes are wrapped around their waist; they are hanging just from the wrapped ropes and not holding on with their hands. They are looking out towards their left arm and grinning.

Qatherine, a white person, backstage for their circus show. Qatherine is wearing a red and orange jester hat and teal blue neck ruff in the style of Joker/Jimbo from Balatro. She is wearing a gray leotard which is a little harder to see, but is styled after Joker from Persona 5. She has makeup on to mimic Joker's mask from Persona 5 and red lipstick.
If I had a nickel for every time a game with a Joker main character lost Game of the Year, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but I sure made a circus act around it. #balatro #persona5
Nine performers are in a line on a stage with their arms on each others shoulders. They are dressed as a variety of video game characters and smiling. Qatherine is second from the left of the photo, wearing a hat and collar like Joker from Balatro over a gray leotard styled like Joker from Persona 5 and black shorts.
Last night I co-produced and performed in a video game themed circus show! This was the culmination of months of work, and I'm so happy with how everything went and so grateful for our cast, crew, and everyone who turned out to watch ☺🎪
The Palestinian-led BDS movement has updated our priority targets, pressure targets and organic campaign targets.
This is exactly the new Katamari game I have been wanting for years. Same core gameplay, new environments and stuff to roll up. I'd given up hope that it would ever happen. Thank you Bamco Nandai 🤩🙏
Our teams in Gaza have again run out of food to cook. We have finished all the stock in hand, and our trucks are stuck at the border. We are continuing to bake bread and deliver water. #ChefsForGaza (1/2)
85% of Gaza’s population have entered the "fifth stage" of malnutrition — the most critical and dangerous phase, which is often irreversible even if food becomes available in the future.
I think this is the most horrifying post I have ever read.
Israel was finally starting to get some heat for slaughtering Gazans who are just queueing for aid. The Freedom Flotilla got a lot of Western eyes back on Gaza. Then Israel launched unprovoked attacks on Iran, and is dragging its patron state into a war. Do not let this distract you from Palestine.
I'm so sorry, Jack. It always sounded like you cared for her so much, and I am sure all the time you spent with her meant a lot to her too.
That's some low quality bait and yet I'm falling for it 😤
There are always little things you can do in your community with the resources you have. Regarding ICE, putting up Know Your Rights fliers, stickers, and Red Cards is a low-cost action that helps the people targeted directly AND sends a message that people in their community care about them.
Selfie of Qatherine, a white person with dark hair and dark eyes wearing a white duckbill mask and gray jacket. Qatherine is turned slightly to their left and holding the upper strap of their mask to show their right ear. Her ear has no earrings but there are several holes showing where piercings typically are (triple lobe, triple forward helix, and triple conch). Qatherine is sitting indoors with a beige wall and window onto some shrubbery behind them.
Had to take all my piercings out for medical imaging and I feel so normie without them 😱
"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."
Straight people: I don't need you to wish me a happy pride and tell me I'm valid. I need you to show up in material ways for queers in your community who are under attack, particularly our Trans and gender nonconforming siblings. And that does not mean donating to the nonprofit industrial complex.
A selfie of Qatherine, a white person with dark hair and eyes. They are wearing a light green sleeveless dress made of a brocade fabric and a black and white kuffiyeh draped over their arms like a shawl. She has a purse on her left arm. In the background, there are flowerbeds with some unknown green plants, chain link fencing, and a small tree towards the right side of the photo.
I've now attended the first wedding of my adult life and it was for two friends at city hall, followed by a 3 min walk down the street to a restaurant for brunch. Pretty hard to top that.
Entrance to a Wawa on 6th Street in Philadelphia. The entrance is in an older style white stone building with columns flanking the entrance and carvings above the doors. The red Wawa logo is above the entrance and there is a yellow caution cone blocking one of the doors. Part of a SEPTA bus shelter is on the right side of the image.
Walked by a bunch of people queueing at Independence Hall for the real Philly destination 😌
Qatherine is standing holding a small plastic toy of Hedorah from Godzilla vs Hedorah. They are resting their cheek affectionately against Hedorah's head. Her eyes are closed and she is slightly smiling. Qatherine is wearing a buffalo plaid shirt; they are standing in a room with other figures on a shelf and a TV (playing wrestling) behind her.
Don't talk to me or my trash monster child ever again.
(jk it's @creepyelliot.bsky.social 's Hedorah but I'm love)
From NEJM article on FDA's new requirements for COVID-19 vaccination, a list of underlying medical conditions that are considered by the CDC to increase risk of severe disease. This list includes asthma, cancer, mental health conditions, obesity, and smoking; please check the source article or the CDC's website for the full list because it's too long to list in alt text, sorry!
To note, a lot of younger adults are STILL eligible under this new policy. Please get the new season's vaccine in the fall if you can. And WEAR A MASK! It's not too late to start masking again and protect your community. Find a mask bloc in your area. Fight the state's attempt at eugenics 😷
Screenshot of NEJM article linked earlier in thread. Text reads: "Even health care workers remain hesitant, with less than one third participating in the 2023–2024 fall booster program.5 There may even be a ripple effect: public trust in vaccination in general has declined,6 resulting in a reluctance to vaccinate that is affecting even vital immunization programs such as that for measles–mumps–rubella (MMR) vaccination, which has been clearly established as safe and highly effective. In recent years, reduced MMR vaccination rates have been a growing concern and have contributed to serious illness and deaths from measles. Against this context, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeks to provide guidance and foster evidence generation."
The FDA tries to justify the need for additional clinical trials with a placebo control arm (which is NOT typical for ethical reasons) by handwringing about declining public trust in vaccination and drawing parallels to the decline in MMR vaccination rates. Guess who is contributing to this?!
The FDA explained their new bullshit policy in an (open-access) article in the New England Journal of Medicine, and it is about as terrible as you would expect. Full of lies and obfuscation with barely any citations showing the continued danger of COVID-19.

This is eugenics. This is going to result in people not getting vaccinated and dying or being disabled by COVID-19. This is ridiculous and dangerous and that is the point.

Passed by a guy who was walking down the sidewalk while playing a flute Saturday evening and I feel like I missed my opportunity to get a cool sidequest 😔
Children have no taste, canned dolmas are so good!!
Protesting for Hands Off is a start, but we need your hands ON in your community to actually make change and take care of each other. If even 10% of that crowd got involved in local grassroots organizations, imagine the impact they could make!
BDS, a Palestinian-led movement, has just added Xbox to their boycott list. Cancel Xbox Game Pass. Don't buy Xbox or Xbox games. Targeted boycotts are effective, but only if we all do our part! 🍉
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.
That's awesome (well, not the underpaid part)! Maybe the school board would be an easier place to start? That also helps to build a track record for a City Council run.
A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.
I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
