I can't imagine sitting in a hospital waiting room, unwell or injured in some capacity, but frothing at the mouth because all you can think about is what someone else's genitals might look like. A sad, hateful little life

It's such a grim indictment of our current society that a man who was more than twice my age felt emboldened enough to call me slurs in a crowded waiting room *and* that no one in that crowded waiting room did a thing other than shuffle uncomfortably and pointedly look away

I was incorrectly hate-crimed by a member of the We Can Always Tell crowd whilst waiting for my physio appointment this morning, so that was an unpleasant way to start my day

The goal of fascism isn’t to make you loyal or subservient. It’s to make you numb. It doesn’t want your love or devotion. The only thing it needs is your indifference. When you don’t feel, you’ll let anything slide. When you’re ignorant, you don’t question. Read. Think. Feel. It ruins their plan.

I am, unfortunately, a creature of terrible habits, which means I've spent most of the last six months isolating myself from my friends and loved ones rather than just explain to them that life has been hard lately and my mental (and physical) health is in the gutter

Between breaking my ankle, a depression episode, and a bout of flu, I finally found the time to start watching One Piece

I had already watched and loved the live action adaptation, but stubbornly held out against watching the anime until now

Look, I just think it's more than a little concerning that it's currently 18°C in a country that typically averages temperatures of around 8-10°C this time of year

Everything was so loud- #tshd

#cat Monday kinda day 👍✨✨

a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy

the future is for trans people

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Though we need to bring back snubbull. I don't understand how the best pokemon ever created can consistently be so criminally underused

A travesty

I would not recommend obliterating your ankle (and achilles). It is not a fun time. BUT being able to play Pokopia in bed all day as part of my mandated bedrest is a nice little side effect

It's a very charming little game. I've already sunk a lot of hours into it, and it's a lot of fun to play solo or with friends

Goodnight my friends. Leave a kind comment for our fellow travelers if you are so inclined.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

of course you're not self-absorbed for hoping something you put lots of effort into is liked by others. You created it. Your brain produced that glorious sauce. That is no small thing. Got, fucko? It also doesn't invalidate your efforts if it doesn't magically pop off either. Keep swinging that axe.

Resist ‘dangerous and socially unacceptable’ age checks for social media, scientists warn Computer scientists are campaigning against the global march toward age checks online.

Over 400 scientists have signed a letter calling for a moratorium on the deployment of age-verification technologies. The letter suggests the widespread deployment of untested AV tech is making the internet less safe.

There are those a lot more well-read than me who can speak on these travesties, but intersectionality is the key. Climate change IS an anti-AI issue IS a capitalism issue IS an anti-war issue IS a human rights issue. To fix one, one must fix the foundational structures they belong to.

My sweet boy turned eight today

a sombre morning for british columnists as they move their "The electorate has spoken, we must listen" articles to the recycling bin and upload their "the greens victory shows just how far the west has fallen" articles instead

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)
