Twitter is pretty unpleasant now and I mostly use it to poke at terves; it's a vice. But if you want more fun stuff (lotta conlangs and horror movies lately, as well as Sector General recaps), I'm in the Sky under the same name

Ok! It is not a scam. Bay leaves are the ‘missing’ flavor in a lot of dishes that don’t have them. It’s one those things that you notice when it isn’t there, but have trouble picking out. Bay is an essential background flavor. A deeply nerdy thread 🧵

Okay soooooo… Arabs don’t name their kids “Slave Of” (which is what “Abdul” means) — for one thing; it’s grammatically incorrect in Arabic. And for another, among Muslims, it makes…. zero sense.
“Abdul” must be followed by one of the 99 names of God, which are (grammatically speaking) definite superlatives used only to refer to the Divine.
“Abdul” is a nickname Arabs and Muslims often use because non-Arabic speakers can’t pronounce the full name correctly. Abdul El Sayed’s real name is “Abdurrahman” — meaning “Slave of the Most Merciful (God).”
Hope that helps.

A look back at my embroidery, The Sun Fairy for you today. Completely freehand stitched in August 2023.
May the light always find a way through the darkness! 🪡🌿🌺🌞🪽

This is partially true. And dangerously so.
The missing half: you might have an underlying sleep disorder, which can coexist with ADHD. (Ask me how I know).
If you regularly experience sleep inertia in the morning U need to treat it as potentially TWO problems, not just one.

In an uncertain world of what’s real or not, I’d thought I’d show my face among my embroideries, the stitcher behind the stories. An imperfect embroidery artist that loves colourful threads, nature and tales. I use my hands to create & dream. 🪡🌿🌺 #embroidery #thesewingsongbird

Vou ser sincero com vocês: até algumas horas atrás, eu achava que Patrick Stewart fizesse parte da comunidade LGBTQ+. Via frequentemente fotos dele trocando selinhos com Ian McKellen e até imaginava que pudesse existir algo além de uma grande amizade entre os dois.
Para minha surpresa, ao pesquisar mais sobre sua vida, descobri que não. Patrick Stewart era heterossexual e foi casado três vezes, sempre com mulheres.
E os selinhos? Eram apenas uma demonstração pública de afeto e carinho por Ian, que é assumidamente gay e um dos seus melhores amigos. Mas o mais importante nunca foi o gesto em si. O verdadeiro significado estava no fato de Patrick usar sua imagem, como um dos atores mais respeitados de Hollywood, para apoiar a comunidade LGBTQ+ de forma aberta e natural.
Patrick Stewart não tinha uma masculinidade frágil e nunca precisou provar sua heterossexualidade para ninguém. Não se preocupava com o que pensavam ou diziam a seu respeito. O que realmente importava para ele era ajudar a construir um mundo mais tolerante e acolhedor.
Um mundo em que seu grande amigo Ian McKellen, e toda a comunidade LGBTQ+, pudessem viver com dignidade e paz.
Sir Patrick Stewart foi, sem dúvida, um homem à frente do seu tempo.

Rest in peace, Sir Patrick Stewart, who passed away today at the age of 86. Perhaps best known for his iconic role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Stewart spent the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown sharing videos of himself reading Shakespeare’s sonnets. Notably, he was once joined by his neighbor’s cat Glenn who appeared unimpressed by Sonnet 40.

Patrick Stewart always said that he loved whenever he got to play Bullock on American Dad, and given how beloved his character is, it’s not hard to see why
Rest easy, Sir Patrick 🥀

Patrick Stewart was once filmed dancing and singing on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D in 1991 as a birthday surprise for Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Though never intended for public release, a copy of the clip eventually surfaced as a bonus feature on a DVD.
Rest in peace 🙏

It's really convenient how eldritch incantations for superphysical demonic entities are always tuned to phonemes English speakers would be familiar with
Daffy Lady gives Annie some DIY seance instructions. "Read this out loud, every syllable, very carefully. IDK what language it is! 😃" ... And I go off thinking about pronunciation and English orthography. Do you write the incantation in the IPA to get it right? #Hereditary

Etiquette question
You know when you’re at a pumpkin patch and you go in the corn maze and you get turned around a bit but then you find that other exit that goes into like the foggy wooded clearing with like the hut, and like that old lady comes out and says

I still remember when everyone was doing the Foghorn Leghorn voice over memes and Eric Bauza joined in on the fun to roast Vegeta
I’m gonna miss him
I realize this is ragebait, but I REALLY want to know the reasons one shouldn't watch body horror. I'm gonna DIE of curiosity here!
