2024-06-15 01:06:40 +0000 UTCI used to laugh at other people complaining about Joe's pronunciations of place names... Until he visited that violence upon Tamil Nadu. Dear God..

2023-05-22 22:47:29 +0000 UTCMy mom and her sister used to create bee grenades by catching bees in plastic Easter eggs and then throwing them at people. I think both sides of this conflict really missed out on an opportunity here.

2023-05-22 15:07:49 +0000 UTCI think that a bonus series on the Monday Night Wars as a tongue in cheek military campaign would actually quite fun.

2023-05-21 10:37:45 +0000 UTCHad a similar beencounter to what Nate described. Can second the involuntary urge to twitch and / or swear when one flies too close. Also, nobody knows as much bee-related information (outside of entomologists / apiarists) as someone who does not like bees lol

2023-05-20 01:35:41 +0000 UTCI just wanna clarify a couple details about Roger Casement, who documented the Belgian murder and abuse in the Congo, and is one of my favorite Historical figures. 1)His school was not a public school, and he was educated in Ireland. His mom died when he was 9 and his dad died when he was 12. His formal education officially stopped at 15 cos there wasn't enough money. 2)He was hanged for treason due to his role in leading the Easter Rising, not sodomy or gross indecency. It's said that the placement of a single comma in the law he was convicted under was what decided his guilt. 3) He was a bottom, and a size queen. His Black Diaries make it clear his interests were getting pounded by VERY large dick. I've read a good bit of them. He was a ravenous power bottom with a tendency toward overwork and an uneasy relationship with the government he worked for, causing him to eventually leave his job and work against the colonial system he'd originally been a part of. I just want him to be remember for who he was--a thoughtful, smart, idealistic dude who loved big dick.

2023-05-19 21:58:23 +0000 UTCI got stung by a wasp once. Ended up with half of my leg swollen and purple and green. Had to go to the ER. It ended up being gangrene, and I would have been septic if I had waited another day. Tldr: fuck bees.
