What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?”

Accidentally went out earlier without my phone and have been phone free for 6 and a half hours. Reckon I’ve got a guardian article about “my digital detox” in me

I’ve been a Joel Edgerton fan since he was in an Australian tv show called The Secret Life of Us in the very early 2000s. Never seen him be bad in anything and he’s brilliant in Train Dreams. Not surprised there’s “Oscar buzz” for him

Watched this yesterday and it is absolutely beautiful. Sparse and sad but really stunning. Recommend if that’s your bag.

Have been awake at 6 or 6.30am every day for 3 weeks, even when I didn’t need to be and it has been extremely annoying. Today I slept until 9 and have done absolutely nothing all morning but read my book with the cat asleep on me. A delight

There are plenty of links between the anti-trans “women’s rights” movement & anti-feminist conservatism. And opposing abortion is a logical conclusion for a movement that says no, you should not have agency over your own body; no, you do not know best about yourself; no, you have no choice.
No way I’m sharing Stock’s UnHerd article. But I am going to point to this bit which amply demonstrates the anti-trans=>anti-women’s rights pipeline. “Abortions should only be done for a highly restricted set of reasons. They should not be just nodded through for any reason a pregnant woman likes.”

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

In my corner of the bass-playing universe there was life pre- and post-Mani. He brought a liquid, melodic funkiness that EVERYONE copied. And when I finally met him he was exactly how you imagined him: joyful, generous, unstarry (& more of a star because of it) and wickedly funny. A life well lived

Horrible news about Mani. One of those guys absolutely everyone loves. Lovely funny stories everywhere about him.

So looking forward to a long weekend of pub, football, Indian food, Chinese food and a day out with my pal on Monday. It might be too early for a tree (for me) but it is not too early for festive vibes

Like I’ve known for all of my adult life that people in power can do anything they want and get away with it but there was an always an assumption they’d kind of cover it up. There’s none of that now, not just with Trump but here too. People doing and saying abhorrent stuff every day

Try not to react to every madness Trump does but seeing him say “quiet, Piggy” to a woman who is at her work and no one responding to it at all is so unnerving

I don't use the word lightly, but this is really just evil isn't it. "Your identity makes us uncomfortable so be gone from public spaces." Fuck off.
I mean come on: we'll ask but reserve right to exclude you on the basis of how you look. Oh, and if you try to use your birth sex specific facilities we'll kick you out of those as well.
Get fucked.
Get fucked.
