Do I know anyone who knows anyone who works at Etsy?

I think if you’re a young person (or an older person frankly) considering some kind of creative project, the state of the world is more or less “fuck it we ball” like, you might as well

I'm not good at anything. I dont do anything. I dont know anything. But I know this: Certain forces are out of control

Royal Mail takeover by Czech billionaire approved The £3.6bn deal by Daniel Kretinsky is given the go-ahead after agreeing

The government could have finally brought Royal Mail into public ownership.

It sold it to a Czech billionaire instead.

We are being ripped off. It’s time to put Royal Mail back where it belongs: in public hands.

Word of the day is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a dislike of company and the desire to be left alone.

There should be a way out that isn’t through

Yesterday I pulled overt references of queerness off my site, my very successful store that sells my books that have queer main characters. Because a few days ago, Meta emailed saying my advertising on their platform will be restricted - my site was categorized as "sexuality and gender identity."

I never want to hear David Frost say anything ever about Brexit. Or frankly, anything else.

What an absolute wanker.

Always pretty frustrating to see tech that could have smaller, less flashy applications that people would actually benefit from get overhyped into the stupidest ways to scale privacy violations and/or labour alienation.

A meme of TinTin speaking to Captain. Captain, looking defeated, says "2020 has been a hell of a year" TinTin replies "Captain, it's almost 2025”

Essex is a bad place

Things escalate quickly in Essex.

Cover for the book "Building a Debugger" from No Starch Press. A robot sits at a drafting table drawing a complex machine. In the top-right corner of the table, there is a post-it note with a bug drawn on it and crossed out

This cartoon is from 1930.

It could have been today.

The job of media commentators is to respond thoughtfully to how people feel, not to tell them how to feel. Which is why the editorials deploring the reaction to the healthcare CEO slaying are such failures of curiosity and understanding, such triumphs of obliviousness and elite panic.

I try to be as clear as possible and often over clarify.

It’s so frustrating when the response I receive is clear as mud.

Just please be direct 🥲

Some of the replies are so vague that I genuinely wonder if I miscommunicated what I was trying to ask.

My neurodivergent ass doesn’t have enough brains to dig into ten layers of BS to figure out what you’re *actually* trying to say.

Please just tell me and save us all a whole bunch of time.

British people feeling the incessant need to be overly polite and burying what they’re trying to say under ten levels of fluff will be the end of me.

UK friends - A research team is recruiting an advisory board.

If you've got lived experience as a gender diverse/trans Neurodivergent person and disordered eating,

here's an opportunity to help be a DIRECT and positive influence on the direction of this research.

Idk how I feel about 2025 from a state-of-the-world standpoint.

The news coming out of everywhere is so wild right now, I often have to double and triple check to make sure it’s not The Onion.

Labour’s manifesto promised to “remove indignities for trans people”, yet the government’s ban on puberty blockers adopts the Tories’ politicised unevidenced approach.

Young people — cis & trans — must have access to healthcare they need. I stand firmly with the trans community.

Also, wear the heaviest stuff on you - trainers, coats/jacket. They take up too much space when packed.

A library is more than just a warehouse for books.

really rocking that “patient zero in a movie about a deadly flesh-eating disease” aesthetic too
