the m*a*s*h fandom must be the most toxic one out there, I never see people type out the full name of the show without censoring it to avoid drama from people searching for it.

Posting one of my favorite tweets bc it’s relevant again

idk thinking about how sometimes you have to show up for people you aren't that close to, because sometimes you're just the person who's there. sometimes you invite a new friend to a party and end up having to sit with them through a panic attack. sometimes you run into an acquaintance on their worst day and they need to talk about what happened. sometimes someone is crying in a stairwell and you're the only one around to ask if they're okay. and none of this is "trauma dumping" or whatever the fuck it's just being there for people because you're the one in the room with them.

Ok, loves, so we've all got the message that joking about suicide is bad for your mental health. Now we need to get on "joking that the planet/all of humanity has no future" is bad for societal health/encouraging resistance to bad shit."

In the "Interesting Musical Instruments" dep't: As I was passing through town, thought I would grab a shot of this amazing organ in the Muenster in Freiburg im Breisgau.

On a previous visit, Peter and I watched it being installed.... craned in, piece by piece. It took most of a day. (There's an additional remotely-managed "satellite" pipe installation closer to the altar, [out of view] on the right-hand side.)

The organist sits in the middle of the main pipe array... a bit like like a pilot in an aircraft. For the performer, the sound must be utterly awesome.

It's definitely worth stopping in to see it, and hear it, if you're passing through there. They do concerts, some evenings (but also at lunchtimes).

I genuinely don't think I'm ever gonna get over how perfect these descriptions of the Intrepid Heroes from the Rolling Stones article are

crazy how every time a female character gets cliche misogynistic writing we have to explain to people again that fictional characters are not real and do not choose things for themselves.
