Sorry, but if you’re using generative AI to slap a soulless filter over your selfies you’ve lost all right to call yourself a Ghibli fan

Just a quick reminder to check the (compulsory in Australia) density levels on the “free range” eggs that you’re buying. There’s a world of difference between 10,000 chooks per hectare and 1,500 but both can be labelled free range

Hate-reading the rest of this book in the hopes that the MC gets her bloody comeuppance

Why does “one size” always denote “fits small to mid-size” and never “mid-size to large”?

Pouring one out for all thousands of white journalists who are trying to figure out how to continue to frame each of these as a strange, mysterious and inexplicable body spasms shorn of any context or meaning
Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes.

This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

OFC the person publishing a whole-ass book about how ‘kindness is anti-feminist’ is a trans-exclusionary radfem

I’m mashing together two of my favourite recent patterns, and it’s about a zillion pieces (pictured is somehow still not all of them, I still have to cut out an additional 25 lining pieces) but if I pull it off it’s gonna be SO WORTH IT

The audacity of Fox News calling Palestinians “uneducated” when they have one of the highest literacy rates in the world and are routinely described as the world’s “best-educated refugees”. This despite Israel bombing over 85% of schools in the strip.

You gonna change Greenland to “Red, White & Blueland” too, Google? Historians are going to look back on this period of time and just, like, shake their heads

Just reminding myself that the start of the school year is full on, and my mum-friends aren’t leaving me on read because they hate me (probably)

I spilled some soy sauce on this book I promised to lend my boss. Think she’ll notice?

After several false starts I finally finished Orbital, and look. You have to be in the right mood for it, but it’s the most gorgeously written thing I’ve read for years. It’s slow, and fast, dense and ephemeral, full of hope and grief in equal measures. It’s the perfect read for this moment in time.

It’s time to stop letting rich, old, white men who won’t live long enough to experience the consequences of their actions make decisions about the future
