I fell down the "lemme just look up this one (1) thing real quick" rabbit hole and I feel God in this Chili's tonight bc GWEN.

Gwen is more or less her dad's assistant, right? And he's a blacksmith (tech. a bladesmith if he be making high-quality Excalibur-level blades, but whatever) right?

And do you know what job a blacksmith's assistant has? A striker. Wherein the boss, which would be my man Tom, holds the piece steady, espec. with jobs that would require two pieces of metal to be evenly joined, and the striker's job is exactly what it sounds like. They're supposed to strike the metal. With a goddamn sledgehammer.

I refuse to believe Gwen was anything other than fucking Jacked, and I would have paid Real Dollars to see her being 'meh' with a sword (she makes them, she doesn't use them) but when a fight goes down she's like, "....anyone got a hammer I can borrow?"

Like, godDAMN BBC, if you're gonna make a character a blacksmith, then fuckin COMMIT.

me every time someone mentions blacksmith gwen:

#anon you fucking star come here wanna makeout?#gwen's weapon of choice being a hammer is the best thing i've ever been told #new question: who is her assistant when she's working full time/part time after s1 #do you know about my blacksmith gwen headcanon? no? well lemme tell you #girlie works part time as a blacksmith and part time as morgana's maid in s2 bc she gotta keep her father's business running #then morgana is 'kidnapped' so gwen works full time until morgana comes back #elyan def helps with the blacksmithing when he comes back in s3 but i wanna know who helped during s2 and pre s3 #bbc merlin #gwen #guinevere #she's toned and has biceps for days that you just know make arthur weak in the knees #headcanons

23/4/24 The Music Venue Trust has hit back at Manchester’s Co-Op Live for saying some grassroots venues are “poorly run” – despite having had to delay its own opening this week.

Co-Op Live, which cost £365million, is set to become the UK’s largest indoor arena when it opens, with a capacity of 23,500.

The venue’s executive director Gary Roden spoke to the BBC recently, where he discussed the proposed £1 ticket levy on all gigs arena-sized and above, to help secure the future of grassroots venues and artists.

Roden said that he was “very aware it’s a hot topic”, and that he was “embracing the conversation”, but that he believed the levy was “too simplistic”.

The report suggests that he thinks support should come directly from the government, and added that while he acknowledges the financial pressures on small venues, he thinks some of them are poorly run.

Music Venue Trust CEO Mark Davyd on twitter 20/4/24 :

linking to this article:

20/4/24 Bosses of the UK's largest arena have apologised for cancelling tickets to a test show hours before it was due to start.

It comes after organisers at Co-op Live in Manchester said they had to cut capacity for a preview concert by Rick Astley to allow them to test the 23,500-seater venue "effectively".

Those affected have instead been invited to the Black Keys show at the £365m arena next week.

Co-op Live is set to be officially opened by comedian Peter Kay on Tuesday.

and then the day before the official opening night..

22/4/24 Organisers at Manchester’s new Co-Op Live arena have postponed their opening Peter Kay shows.

[..]

A statement from the venue said: “Following our first test event on Saturday, regretfully we have made the difficult decision to reschedule our two opening performances by Peter Kay. It is critical to ensure we have a consistent total power supply to our fully electric sustainable venue, the completion of which is a few days behind.

South Carolina's Governor signed a bill into law that would ban most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. One day later, a judge temporarily halted it.

The "Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act" was passed in the state's Senate with the support of 27 men, per The Daily Beast.

After fierce debate over the ban, the "Sister Senators," five female state senators – – including three Republicans – blocking the state from passing a near-total ban on abortions, all voted against it.

The law, signed on Thursday, bans most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, except in cases of "rape or incest during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, medical emergencies, or fatal fetal anomalies."

But the state has temporarily reverted to its previous law, which bans abortions after 22 weeks, per the BBC.

There have been months of heated debates in the South Carolina Senate on the issue, and the five women lawmakers had already filibustered an attempt in April to a near-total ban on abortion in the state.

Even though the law is halted for now, Sen. Sandy Senn — one of the Republican lawmakers who voted against the bill — told Insider in an email that the past two weeks had been "rough and tough."

"We will regroup and try and fix this mess," Senn said.

Another lawmaker, Sen. Penry Gustafson, changed her mind about her stance on the six-week ban — which she voted for in February — a version of the bill that also failed to pass.

"Funny thing, when you learn and gather facts over time, sometimes your perspective evolves," Gustafson recently told The Daily Beast.

While she does support some restrictions on abortion, "I've heard from too many women that six weeks is not long enough," Gustafson said.

Katrina Shealy, another Republican state senator, tried to introduce an amendment to the latest legislation that said abortion care should instead be banned after 12 weeks.

"Men are 100% responsible for pregnancies," she said while introducing the amendment, per The Daily Beast. "Men are fertile 100% of the time. So it is time for men in this chamber — and the ones across that hall and all across the state of South Carolina — to take some ejaculation responsibility."

Despite protests from the women, the amendment was voted down.

The newly proposed law comes after a slew of abortion bans across the US followed the overturning of Roe v. Wade last year. Earlier this year, South Carolina proposed the death penalty for women who get abortions, Insider previously reported.

Vicki Ringer, the director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic in South Carolina, called the signing of the bill "unconscionable" on Twitter.

Earlier in the week, she wrote, "Twenty-seven Republican men (all of them) voted today to ban abortion in SC. I'm gutted. Because women will die. Full stop."

my mother texted me while i was with a friend and i called her on purpose while my friend was nearby so he could offer emotional support and she had the cheek to get rude and dictate that she would call me later because i was busy even tho I said i was free to talk then jesus fucking christ who does she think she is

#i called her early because I've realized that talking to her at night actually sucks because instead of relaxing and winding down from the #day I'm tense expecting the shitty call and annoyed after the shitty call #who the hell is she to decide for me when I'm gonna be available to talk #she wasn't busy or anything she just decided I'd be available later because she demanded it #setting boundaries with my parents is a new experience for me cause i always felt too guilty to do it #it turns out your parents can always surprise you with even shittier attitudes!!#what a fucking delight #my friend heard the call from the other room and he was like 'wow she was so rude' and i love him for that actually #I'm still struggling to tell if they're being shitty or i am which is 50 degrees of messed up but what are you gonna do that's the #trauma innit #I'm gonna need to read some books about this #anyway friend had to leave cause he's having back issued but I've still declared myself unavailable for further parental interactions #I'm gonna take a shower make a tasty meal and watch bbc ghosts in bed with the cats #and google books about shitty parents and do the math to book a therapist appointment soon #in the meantime my therapist recommended processing stuff by writing about it so here you are tumblr #alex txt
