When did cosplaying for WBD become a thing? In my day 🧓🏽, Scholastic would just set up a stall in the library and we’d redeem our £1 book token. I worked in kidswear up to 2016 and every year it was parents panicking last minute about their kids’ costumes. It became more about the cosplay than reading.

You won’t notice issues until you get an alt account on a different instance. Often you’ll not see the full number of replies to a post for instance.

I can see you on Mastodon

You can usually tell when someone is posting via mastodon as they’ll leave in the @ usernames

The only issue I have with mastodon is the federation gets a bit janky (so does Lemmy tbh) but it’s more noticeable on mastodon. My main account is on autistics.life, which is federated with most instances except threads and the maga types, but very often I can’t see images on mastodon.social posts via my main account. In fact I can’t even see a lot of my older mastodon.social posts via my main account without viewing the post via my alt account and then account switching.

I’ve seen people say to avoid using mastodon.social as your main account.

I use the Tusky app, but it has a tendency to crash, especially when typing hash tags.

I’m not sure if this is sarcasm, but in case it’s not, you very much can read and post to Lemmy via a mastodon account.

Yes, I have two active accounts. The autistic and neurodivergent communities there are great.

(Emily maitlis voice) Misconduct? He was a…

In primary school in the 90s, we’d call lunch dinner (dinner time, dinner money, school dinners) but if you brought your own food it was packed lunch. But at home, we’d say dinner for the evening meal.

Exactly, it’s still perfectly fine to sell tinned coconut milk, no one thinks it’s from udders.

Since the ruling is that only mammary secretions can be called milk, let’s insist that dairy is labelled “mammary secretions”, just so no one mistakes it as coming from coconuts.

Isn’t this a bit !orphancrushing@lemmy.world?

All kids in London get free bus travel and also free tube until I think age 10. I’m surprised other cities aren’t already doing it. Also if governments didn’t keep selling off council homes, people wouldn’t spend years stuck in temporary accommodation.

She certainly got an award for being one.

I’m in the UK and can see this post just fine.

Edit: oh hi cybervegan. I wasn’t expecting to see you here!

I just rewatched GGM (I was in secondary school when it was on BBC2 and it mode boing Asian cool haha) a couple of months ago and now I’m almost through The Real McCoy. Ghir is a great actor. I love his Frank Butcher in Rub a Dub.

I’m leaning towards it coming from Spurs stadium. I’ve never seen anything like this before. It was a big pinkish-red haze that didn’t move or change in any way. Maybe the stadium was projecting something up into the sky all night. I’ll check if it’s back after sunset.

I’ve looked up which directions I saw it. From both places it was in the direction of Spurs Stadium, so maybe they had an event on?

Do you think frogface will allow it? I can’t imagine either of those narcissists being willing to share the limelight.

That was worth a view, thank you! They might like it over at !fuckcars@lemmy.world

Oh come on, we all know Savile, Huntley and the Wests were Arab Pakistani Ethiopian Muslim Hindus who came on a small boat! They were probably gay and trans too!

In any case, isn’t the one good thing musk ever did was get his siblings away from their white abusive dad?

Art takes time, money and creativity to make. Of course that’s going to be more expensive than downloading something someone else made and printing it out. Accounting for the time and costs that go into making art isn’t a high markup, it’s being paid for your labour.
