White knights and virtue signallers ahoy at the moment.
Tip from non-Caucasian queer woman: if you’re going to be an ally be careful your behaviour does not cause more damage or brings about the opposite effect.
Do not, under the guise of being an ally, effectively pull an entire minority into one homogeneous lump in your call-out of someone.
Sometimes a word just that, a word. There is no battle to be fought here.

👏🏼 to the #CantoneseInIreland team for working with The Odeon Cinema to bring over this year's highest grossing Canto film in Hong Kong called "A Guilty Conscience".
💖Show your support for #Cantonese movies this weekend and next Tues.

🌈The more interest in Canto movies, we can bring over newly released movies instead of waiting years to be available on streaming platforms or at Asian film festivals. #PlsRT
@d3z True, I know. Just kinda fed up with the saturation of hearing about ‘hacks’ on social media. I’m not even on that frequently!
Don’t mind me, just an auld wimmin’ shouting at the clouds. 😂
Why is everything a ‘hack’ these days? 🙄
@mo @nivrig I enjoyed it but probably because I know nothing about the band beyond that I enjoy their music. So the revelation that Rhian has an amazing voice was a cool one for me together with the examination of some of sources of the negative attitudes to their band.
Haven’t seen the Pixies one yet - looking forward to catching that tomorrow when recovering from WTM 😅
@nivrig if you love your music docs and you haven’t already discovered Trash Theory on YouTube I’d recommend their recent one on Wet Leg.

SHEMOMECHAMA is a Georgian word meaning "when you did not mean to eat it all, but accidentally did".
@ThePaulMcBride @BibbleCo Based on their ads alone, I feel this is something that would right up the alley for a company like DeadHappy.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: No meat on Fridays
PEOPLE: Ok so no eggs for breakfast
CC: No, eggs are ok
P: But eggs are chicken
CC: Not until they hatch
P: So the thing isn't the thing until it's born?
CC: Correct—um, no, wait.

Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite.
Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace
If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.
Parental units have been safely dropped off at the airport. Did not realise the airport has changed its parking and road layout. That was interesting.
Travelling on public transport in the dark to the sticks contains a lot of “where the hell am I?”
Spooders (spiders)
Rice University engineers turned wolf spider carcasses into necrobots.
THANKS FOR THE ZOMBIE NECROBOT SPIDER NIGHTMARES.
