One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Whilst I've been to therapy so am prone to tears anyway, this made me weep - it articulated so precisely the way I have felt about pretty much everything for quite a while now, on a very personal and fairly global level.

this is basic human decency
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Sharing this again since it took me two months to break out of my silly writer's block of self-doubt. Trying to grow more comfortable with my own meandering writing instead of wishing I wrote like some of my wittier friends.
The newest edition of Trauma Angel is here. My thoughts on authenticity, imperfect work, the magic of Silksong, the artistic legacy of Tomas Lindberg, new albums from Deftones & Yellow Eyes, and so much more. Read and share if you'd be so kind.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

"Reform would be worse" is both entirely correct and entirely irrelevant until polling day 2029. What matters right now is that Labour's approach is morally repugnant on its own terms, *and is empowering Reform*. As things stand today, its not Labour or Reform. Its Labour *then* Reform.
While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

Thank goodness for Jolly Old Saint Nicholas otherwise I would have nothing to listen to at Christmas
Have I ever listened to Hey Jude by The Beatles? Absolutely not. It's addressed to Jude, not me. What about Annie's Song by John Denver? Nope. Not my song so none of my business. Everyone should treat the private communications of musicians with the same level of respect as I do.

Every time I hear someone talk about the state of modern cinema I want to shout ‘watch better films then!’, there’s no need to ever talk about a disney produced film from an artistic standpoint, watch In Fabric, watch La Chimera, watch Decision to Leave, watch The Peasants, watch Boy and the Heron

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

GoCompare undertook an enormous downsizing of their marketing dept in November 2018, and I spent most of 2019 unemployed until Waterstones let me be a Christmas temp, and again in 2021. Tried a marketing job again in 2023, failed probation, and found another bookshop more local to me in June 2024

Drawing pictures is one of the most fun, satisfying, challenging, beautiful things you can do. Making a terrible ugly drawing is so pure and gorgeous and human and I can't believe anyone would let a robot pretend to do that for them.
