Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.
You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

I will keep saying this until I am blue in the face; we have been in a disinfo/propaganda war with Russia since 2014, & it's one of the few things their military is genuinely excellent at, & we're fucking LOSING

Doesn’t matter as long as all the media only pays attention to Reform.
Greens: Let's switch to having a single leader with a clear message.
Your Party: Let's have lots of infighting, no clear leader, not even a proper party name, and parade our organisational incompetence around for everyone to see.
I wonder which party's doing better.

I left the NHS in 2011, not least because the NHS already regarded support staff with contempt, and both numbers and skills have only been decimated since. So now it need to function with less? Hint: this will not free up clinician time.

Many years ago, my typewriter crapped out in the middle of a medieval lit paper due at 8 am, so I pulled out my art supplies and did it on parchment in calligraphy with a couple of illustrations. Got an A. Try that with ChatGPT

For medical reasons, I go through extensive periods when I can’t drink, so I’be just had to deal with The Feelings all along.
Fellow sober folks, a reminder: However bad things get, you don’t have to drink over it.

Aargh! Guess who’s due to fly to Poland on 2 October? Wrocław (the other side of the country) but if they close the airspace 😢. Should have booked my flight to Berlin.
Russian drones seem to have entered Polish airspace again.

This is absolute truth.
These days my Friday afternoon painting sessions are various friends dropping in for a chat as much as to paint.
Turns out talking about how you feel, or what you're worried about, seems way easier when you're all holding brushes and focused on tiny figures, not each other.

This is just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! And I thought I knew my Australian animals.
Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink!
Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back.

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

The U.K., a country without any written constitution and a tradition of absolute parliamentary sovereignty and no longer with the legal framework of the EU, has become a honeypot for crackpot tech accelerationists.

The fact that Starmer is defending Glinners 'freedom of speech' whilst also forcing the entire country to use a VPN or tie their social media to a photo ID really gives the game away doesn't it?
