Our favourite moment #TheStruggleIsReal

Still of youtuber Daniel Howell standing in front of the vulva diversity wall in the Vagina Museum. An entire wall of photos of vulvas is blurred out. Subtitles read "how exactly are we gonna put that on youtube?"

just discovered that wikipedia volunteers have a hilariously high bar for what constitutes "unusual death" and had to compile my favorite edit summaries

Why Wikipedia editors have deleted entries from the “List of unusual deaths”:

“hippos are extremely dangerous and very aggressive and there is nothing unusual about hippos killing people”
“the man was working on the toilet, making his death inherently less strange than if he had been using it”
“no longer an unusual or unique occurrence” regarding impalement by beach umbrella
“being hit by multiple motorcycles in a race is not an unusual death”
“fatalities involving objects or animals being launched into oncoming traffic are considered commonplace” regarding a Canadian couple’s fatal collision with a “flying bear”

I took home a pocket full of seeds and turned some of them into a cute little acorn bug

#autumn #crafts

Two pairs of norway maple helicopter seeds hot glued to an acorn body, the helicopter seeds reminiscent of dragonfly wings.

RE: mastodon.social/@onqueerstreet

I'm also looking for recommendations for:

• businesses, spaces, & events (in the UK) who still have mask policies and encourage people to mask, and

• UK-based activists groups and people who are organising around COVID mitigations – making masks, vaccines, air purifiers, etc. more accessible!

Is this you? Is there someone you want to shout out? Please send me your suggestions here or drop me an email at quinn@quinnhodes@gmail.com!

@LadyNeuroFunk@lgbtqia.space I'm looking just for people in the UK for this one, but thank you! (Though this is a topic I hope to return to, so I might reach out in the future!)

@clacksee I'm still looking for folks outside of Scotland, so would love to talk. How would it best suit you for me to send you my questions? (You can drop me an email at quinn@quinnrhodes.co.uk, but please let me know if there's a way you'd prefer to chat!)

For a piece about wearing a mask as an act of community care, I'm looking to talk to people in the UK (especially Scotland) who are still masking regularly!

If this is you, and you're up for answering some questions for me, please drop me an email me at quinn@quinnrhodes.co.uk.

Update: it turns out Monday Quinn didn't schedule in *enough* time for screaming this week.

Very grateful to Monday Quinn's foresight in putting 'scream' as one of the tasks on my to do list this week.

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that trans healthcare in the UK is fucked, but what if it wasn’t? What if trans people could actually expect our basic healthcare needs to be met?

This week, my not-hosted-on-Substack newsletter explores whether I've just learned to cope with my dysphoria about my genitals and told myself I don't want bottom surgery so it doesn't hurt that it will probably never be accessible to me: genderbent.co.uk/am-i-lying-to
