Saw maybe the best film of 2025 yesterday - The Golden Spurtle. Just absolutely great, I love humans and how we just organise the most random stuff and then imbue it with such meaning. 1000/10 would watch again.

A friend has just confirmed that my opinion on a topic (based om my lived experience & learning) was similar to what ChatGPT said. Why are we doing this? I used to work with someone who would google things as I was speaking to see what google said - that was understood to be rude, so why isn't this?

I’m sad to have only just found out that Ann Harper passed - her unwavering commitment to unity and resistance has been a huge source of inspiration to me my whole life. I’m grateful for all the times we got pissed and set the rest of the room to right. Rest in power Ann.

Hate this bigoted little toilet island more so with every day. Also hate my profession for kicking trans rights around like a philosophical argument and falling prey to the binaries and dogmas we are meant to be good at challenging/dismantling/healing. Solidarity with the trans community always.

The new OpenAI creative writing bot's "short story" has the phrase "democracy of ghosts". It's the sort of phrase that would make me stop and admire it, if I were reading a human author - which, it turns out, I was, because it's from Nabokov's 1957 novel "Pnin".

Seeing how quickly Trump's administration has wiped the CDC's website I'm really glad I hoard physical media and I encourage everyone to do the same. I've been lugging a copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves around since I was 18, not to mention multiple copies of DIY abortion and reproductive health zines.

Absolutely brilliant piece, challenging, sad, thought-provoking.
This was published while I was at the National Assembly so I never really got a chance to promote it, which is kind of insane? It's one of the best features that The Verge has ever published. When I first read the draft I went "what the fuck did I just read??????" www.theverge.com/c/24300623/a...
