Google SFW steam trains, I'm tired of all these companies that still have labor laws from 1876

The part of this home that was decorated by a professional designer is dull as dishwater, but part that was done by the owner is amazing and it comes with the house. 2022 build in Kissimmee, FL, has 10bds, 11ba, $2.2M + $535mo. HOA.

The designer did all the white with splashes of neutrals.

Triple wide dining table.

The house is new, so it came with the kitchen. Like the counters and big island.

She also did a home theater.

I don't know which bedroom is the primary b/c they're all the same size, not very big, and each has an en-suite.

I like this one a lot.

And, this one. They could be children's rooms.

And, now we progress to the owner's vision. Check this out. He is a collector of military/war history collectables, but this stuff is prime. Look at that car.

Believe it or not, this helicopter that served in Afghanistan & Iraq is worth $25M alone! So, the house is a bargain.

Inside, it's been converted to a gaming flight simulator w/bunk beds.

The realty description suggests that it can be rented out, and it could, but that's up to the new owner. This stuff if pretty expensive.

This biplane's wings were made into beds.

This is a cute touch- glass birds hanging from the ceiling.

Look at the floor, it looks like you're flying.

I like the pink & blue, too.

This table is made from a plane wing and he's got a framed uniform, plus other artifacts, on the walls.

There's a pool in the back yard.

There are also 3 golf courses nearby, if you love golf.

PSA for crafters:

It's okay to not want to do your craft, just because you are a creative person doesn't mean that you need to be constantly creating and making!

Putting down a project that is driving you nuts and playing Skyrim for a week is OKAY!

Needing a break from your project is natural, even if it's just to pick up another one of your other hobbies.

The point of doing something you love is to enjoy doing it, so if you're not vibing, just take a break! It doesn't make you "less" of a knitter or crocheter or whatever. Be kind to yourselves, take a break and drink some water! 😚

I love this explanation! My husband is a Bob at the queer employee group at work. His role is to use his straight white guy energy for the benefit of the group, like an ambassador to the rest of the corporation.

I'm kind of at a point where the "queer spaces" i feel safest in are the ones that have a pet cishet dude or two hanging around

legendary

there are QR code posters here in Melbourne for reporting graffiti to the council - and someone has been printing their own and carefully placing them over the official ones

they lead to a documentary on hip-hop/graffiti culture

it's perfect because the QR posters are uglier than any bit of street art

“Why did you follow this person ? uwu”

I’ve been here for fourteen years, do you think I remember? I don’t know who any of these people are anymore. I don’t know why they’re on my dash. I allow them to stay because they haven’t pissed me off enough to unfollow them yet. “Why did you follow this person?” I’m not sure I ever did. They’re just part of my ecosystem now.

As I gaze at the structural column in Copley Station, cracked nearly in two and held together with zip ties that have been carefully painted over to match the column underneath, I feel my soul intertwined with that of a small Italian boy of days gone by, who also stopped to look up at a large, groaning, newly painted tank full of molasses

The wild thing about being obsessed with your own DnD campaign is that there's absolutely NO fandom content for it except the stuff that you make

Like, what do you mean only six other people in the entire world have heard of Dave the Ice Elemental whose job is Freezer at the Fantasy Starbucks?

I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they're making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will 'just ask questions' until we lose every scrap of ground we've gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.

They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.

So many of the tropes they've been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! "There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that's bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it's freaky!"

I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it's spread.

6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go "ooh, tasty, what else can we do?"

Recently an 'expert' was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a "golden ticket." Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn't exist and threatening "'you won't poison my child's body [with ADHD meds] against my consent"

People need to be aware this is going to get worse. Maybe, if we're lucky, it won't get really bad. But it's going to get worse than it is now.
