doing a new challenge: the "bareback london", in which you get your phone stolen so have to rely on using memory and actually reading signage to make your way around the city

“stop worrying about the bats and the newts” is genuinely quite a grim thing to say!!!
Stop worrying about bats and newts? No Rachel Reeves MP – start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on.

Nature isn’t a blocker; it’s the foundation of growth.

No growth on a dead planet is such a good slogan, it desperately begs the question why Rachel Reeves decided to use the word “growth” to justify her anti-planet economic policy in the first place

idk man it feels a bit not good to be mouthing off week after week that there’s no money for disabled people and everyone needs to work themselves into an early grave and then going and spending £9 billion on nuclear bombs

Huge mental and optical gymnastics required to insist that what Musk did was anything other than a Nazi salute. We can debate what it means, the fact that he did a Nazi salute, but it's as clear a sieg heil as you'll ever, ever see.

devastating when one of your favourite faithfuls uses a long word and you know their minutes of screen time are numbered

One Partridge to rule them all,
One Partridge to find them,
One Partridge to bring them all and in its Pear Tree bind them.
In the land of Christmas where the rest of the gifts lie.

I am shaking. I am relieved. I am devastated. I am furious. I am bereft.

The puberty blocker ban is a death sentence for some
particularly vulnerable trans youth. It is unconscionable.

When will the people with the power to help sit up and listen?

It’s a scandal. A cover up. A crime. I’m so sad.

i am super biased here because i am an academic and would like to continue to be one *but* i do feel there comes a point where you have to ask yourself what the point of ‘the economy’ is if it doesn’t support education or healthcare or the arts or housing or food or water and utilities
not an original observation but i was just explaining that the UK higher ed sector is in a bad financial position to my mum (who’s lived in austria all her life) and it is actually a very strange thing to explain that the ‘education sector’ is struggling

Israel has obliterated the mausoleum of Simon Peter, the Apostle of Christ, in Shama, southern Lebanon.

A sacred site that has stood for over 2,000 years, now lies in ruins.

This is not “self-defense”.

This is a war crime and a crime against history.

work update: I'm currently assisting the wonderful Jen Tang at the marvellous Sam Wanamaker Playhouse on one of my favourite @shakespeare.bsky.social plays, Cymbeline - only one of these people is on Bluesky so you'll just have to believe me that it is true, then come see the show from Jan 2025 x
