The bluestones in Stonehenge come from West Wales. Instead of quarrying stone from near the monument, they dragged these huge blocks from ~278km away. Likewise, the altar stone comes from ~700km away in North-East Scotland. It must’ve been very important for the ancient Britons to’ve used these specific rocks for some reason, but their religious practices were conveyed via a now extinct oral tradition so no-one knows exactly why they did it.

I don’t know what that means.

What I’m saying is that there’s insufficient force and direction for a shampoo bottle to penetrate just from falling onto it.

Anything that is inserted into the rectum has to be eased through the rectal sphincter. Now, there are ways to make the insertion easier such as using lubrication or taking poppers but there’s still gonna sufficient resistance that it’s not gonna happen without the person making it happen.

I scrolled through the modlog on their home instance and like clockwork…

Thank you :)

I don’t think picking an arbitrary time of, like, 9 years ago is accurate for when the western left’s “idpol turn” started. Labour rights and anti racism have always been closely intertwined causes and the trade unions have been closely aligned with queer groups since the 80’s at least.

But whatever.

What has that accomplished?

Created a more organised front against the current reactionary pushes and helped getting marginalised people politically active despite the neoliberal attempt to crush grassroots political activism.

Who has it helped?

Plenty of people, myself for example: leftist agitation caused both a reform within the Welsh NHS’ gender service to move away from antiquated gatekeeping and towards self-id and informed consent, while at the same time these same groups successfully pushed the Senedd to bring out free prescriptions. My poor, post-grad self wouldn’t have had the time to fight to get a gender identity certificate nor the money to afford HRT treatment if it wasn’t for the intersectional tactics of the “western left”.

It’s an attempt by Meta to swallow the fediverse via Microsoft’s old “embrace, extend, extinguish” strategy.

selling stolen fissile materials hey wait a second…

I almost fell for it, you won’t catch me this easy MI5.

I’ll be visiting family to give them presents and nothing else!

Oh and watching that Wallace and Gromit film that’s gonna be on BBC One

Not just do you get a better sense of the measurements but also the feel of the fabric. If I’m gonna buy something to wear, I really wanna be sure it’s nice against my skin before I buy.

Sadly, I live in the arse end of nowhere though, and there’s a lot of stuff I can’t find without looking online.

I don’t really have strong memories of Christmas, I get the impression from my family that I tended to be less depressive at that time of year.

If you pause it, it’s much clearer that it’s just been overlayed onto the video.

Cis is just the opposite of trans. If some people are trans then it follows others are cis.

20 years ago you’d be pissing and whining about the use of heterosexual.

When I was still in the closet, I grew and maintained a big beard as part of my attempts at performative masculinity.

Not saying that this is what’s happening with most men who’re growing 'em out, but sometimes I see a bloke with a well maintained set of facial hair looking absolutely miserable and my egg radar starts shrieking.

No it’s just thinly veiled Islamophobia.

Some fascists have an urban myth that since pork is haram, Muslims shot by a bullet covered in lard go to hell.

Chechnya has a lot of Muslims and Ramzan Kadyrov is the head of state of Chechnya, so “Kadyrov orcs” is a dog whistle for Muslims.

Do murder ghosts or whatever count as dependents?

There’s probably some nightmare tax form for this, isn’t there?

Yeah and HPV vaccinations are older than those still.

But, I guess “some scientists have developed a vaccine to lower the risk of one specific cause of one specific type of cancer.” is less attention grabbing than “X country has developed a cancer vaccine”

Innocent smol bean pogromists.

Have a good day, friend

You too, mate.

Ah, you’re right, I see now, boiling down Marxist critique into “can’t control emotions” and “only wants money” while celebrating the individualistic ramblings of a lead-poisoned imperial despot, is a much more rational outlook.

Systemic issues aren’t real, you just gotta stop thinking bad thoughts and suddenly the crushing oppression that Aurelius was writing in defense of don’t matter.

“Hmm, why would man sitting on the top of an inherently unjust system preach complacency with said system as a virtue? Must be because he’s super rational and smart.”

• you, somehow still on that slave mentality in the 21st century.
