"Geriatric Millenial" I use this slightly more than I used to. She/her.

They say mastodons were very social creatures; I'd bet the first four letters of my Twitter handle on it.

@TRBEllis @NoLieWithBTC @ChrisBWithYou While this is true, he did specifically say hanging from a tree... executions done by the legal system were usually done via gallows except for some during times of war.

Hanging by a tree is very specifically associated with lynching activity. It was at the least a dog whistle

From the latest Private Eye, a sure indication of a government gone both mad and bad

@JoshForNY @AdamBienkov I live in the UK, but haven't always.

UK has comparatively cheap internet and mobile to, say, the US

New report from Tax Policy Associates: publishers successfully lobbied to abolish VAT on ebooks in 2020, costing the taxpayer £200m, but kept the benefit for themselves. Ebook prices weren't cut, and we can prove it. https://t.co/1oqNIm9dTu

@vjpsyverson @weel @btx91 So glad we figured out water treatment before late capitalism was in charge.

[kasweaver @kasweaver]

@weel @btx91 And even current devastating seasonal viruses that kill people every year.

Why healthcare settings aren't a masking environment with air quality control, I do not know. That should just be the default!

[kasweaver @kasweaver]

@SerfToMogs @RussInCheshire Carnivale is also related. All from places with Catholic or Catholic-lite practices. The oncoming Lenten season meant excess before, using up things that would otherwise possibly go off and having a last big party before you can't.

But the UK does pancakes 🤷‍♀️

[kasweaver @kasweaver]

@weel Wow sorry for the autocorrect terribleness of that. Didn't notice when composing.

Bit is gross.

Compulsed by an aspect

[kasweaver @kasweaver]

@weel That 'financial compulsion' but is gross, too. "facility paid to serve a specific role is composed by an aspect of that role" is frankly a ridiculous assertion.

[kasweaver @kasweaver]

@Desumeb @RussInCheshire It was rather hard to stay on point when truth seemed like an Onion article with the Trump years and the pandemic 🤷‍♀️

[kasweaver @kasweaver]

@SerfToMogs @RussInCheshire Are pancakes rich food though? I guess some toppings are.

[kasweaver @kasweaver]

@777nash @RussInCheshire Yes yes haha I'm aware, just in the UK that seems to equate to pancakes and not like, Mardi Gras (which is also shrove Tuesday)

Like, are pancakes luxury indulgent things? Why pancakes?

[kasweaver @kasweaver]

@HeatVision1999 @BoyingtonLaura @RealAogami @AriDrennen Because many know this about themselves as kids, and it's a terrible mental health toll to live with a false identity particularly through the teenage years and puberty.

The suicide rate of those in the closet is even higher than those that are out.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We think NHS staff should have:

* Access to healthy food
* Whenever they are on a shift
* That is subsidised as much as the meals MPs get

Please RT if you do too

@MingoTango @TamJCobb @emrazz Are you suggesting the twelve year old was on BC? Unlikely.

And morning after isn't as available as it used to be, which is part of the whole point of this entire thread.
