a travesty!
this piece by @brocklesnitch.bsky.social is excellent and entirely relatable. I, too, am desperately focusing on the good people because the rest of everything is TOO STUPID AND HORRIBLE FOR WORDS.

Someone just told me that The Princess Bride is "overrated" and long story short it's perfectly acceptable to remove toxic people from your life.
🚨Exposed: A major Bunnings timber supplier has been linked to logging in critically endangered swift parrot habitat 🦜

Going to start a modern band that really captures the zeitgeist. We'll call ourselves "Not Waving, Drowning"

you know how after WW2 the world said never again? it lied. I can't make sense of it.
I need everyone to understand this is eugenics in action—not just “quackery.” Much like the “anti vax” movement as a whole.

Three small humans (3 to 6?) are sitting on a long seat on the back of Dad's bike. All with legs dangling. All wearing bright green dinosaur helmets. Arms outstretched to AEROPLANE around the corners! (1)
🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
Two women (80s?) are standing in front of a $2 shop. One is looking at the plastic flowers in the window display and is saying: "Why not? Why shouldn't we?" With the air of Bilbo Baggins inspecting a rather important ring. (1)
🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A couple (60s?) are cosied up next to each other under a big shady tree, reading a shiny new children's book.
An unused gift bag poking out of their colourful shopping basket.
Heads bowed together, laughing as they turn the pages. (1)
