When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

I've been informed that it would benefit my academic career for me to redownload X and create a platform on there, but I cannot - for the life of me - bring myself to do it. It feels dirty. It feels like Musk has got his elongated fingers all over it. No thanks. I'd rather stay here. #Bluesky

I'm so excited for my recent research to be out in the open for all to see - it's vulnerable, like the very essence of erotica itself!

Friends! It's nice to be back. Turns out summer holidays and then steamrolling into a new term - with glandular fever - would really takes it toll! But I'm back. What's new? (Except the horrible state of affairs in the world right now.)

I ache inside when I think about the state of this world sometimes. The abhorrent realisation that still, in 2025, there is genocide; that still, in 2025, the bodies of women are being policed. #worldlypolitics

Reading is political.
Reading has always been political.
Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

How To Be a Writer, #111:
Open laptop
Look into the void
Scream into the void
Consider that maybe the void also sometimes feels this way about you
Ask the void if it takes milk
Choose a nice mug for the void
And maybe a chocolate biscuit
Lose yourself in the void
Tea
Open laptop
