Do you know what the sand from elafonissi beach (Crete) looks like under a microscope? It really does look pinky when you’re there, and I was told it was because of a certain type of seashell that made up the majority of the top sand. I was a kid though, definitely could have been lies.
I thought this was c/justguysbeingdudes (or something like that) but I’m not sure it exists here. That was a great sub.
E: it does it exist! Dead but it doesn’t need to stay that way. I’ll cross post: !justguysbeingdudes@lemmy.world
Sorry, I confused myself and thought you were replying to a later comment - I thought you were asking how people would have guessed JK Rowling and JK Galbraith were the same person.
I think it’s fair to say Robert Galbraith-Heath is an (in)famous psychiatrist. I remember his name from my student days. As for her purposely using the name of a conversion therapist as a pen name in order to… be more homophobic? That seems like a bit of a leap to me, but idk her bigoted views in any real depth tbh.
And I looked up the other name before I realised I’d confused myself and found there was a famous JK Galbraith too, according to wikipedia He sounds like a bit of a dick too. Sorry for the confusion, I need sleep.
Can you think of another author who uses JK before their surname? It would have been a pretty big hint as soon as people realised JK Galbraith didn’t exist.
It’s British slang for a convict or prison term. It’s not very common now, but “old lag” used to mean a habitual criminal. No idea of the etymology though - maybe related to a lag (in time)?

~>my twin in the 80s ✅
For anyone unsure when to use I or me, remove the “and X” and see if the sentence makes sense:
My twin and I in the 80s > I in the 80s ❎
Me and my twin in the 80s > me in the 80s ✅
Bonus! One brave kitty goes exploring. How old do you think that little guy is? 6 weeks?
I’ve had 6 covid vaccinations and I’m still not protected. It’s not a case of “having the chance to get sufficiently vaccinated” if the vaccines don’t work on your immunosuppressed body, or if you can’t have the vaccine at all.
It’s unbelievably selfish to go out when you know you have covid. How hard is it to stay home for 5 days or so when you test positive ffs?! The fact that you don’t think staying home for a few days is “justified” when you literally risk killing someone vulnerable by not isolating is frankly shameful.
The guy deleted his first tweet, but doubled down in his replies.
Yes… “antivaxxer protest” dates it pretty accurately.
I was a little confused by the smile too, assuming she was no older than 30. Losing 6 years of your youth seems harder than 6 years in your 50s. Although it depends on the conditions she’s kept in.
Snap! Just the 3 for me, but lupus is vicious enough for two. I switched from oral methotrexate to injections about 10 years ago as the dosage was getting too high. I’ve been on prednisone continuously for 15+ years and boy does it show 😒 we most certainly did not win the genetic lottery!
My immune system is literally trying to kill me. I don’t trust it with shit.
I’m immunocompromised and my life still hasn’t gone back to pre-covid normal. I just can’t risk putting my life in other peoples hands when so many people showed they literally couldn’t care less about others.
Wtf? That’s an insane amount of money!!
If ever there was a good a reason 🫥
That’s a really good point. Thanks for the answer!
It’s a Christmas miracle! 😉
