August is a weird month for me. It's the end of the summer break, the time when academic friends finish their tour of intellectual talks and beach holidays in Malaysia before flying off to the global north.

Just looked at the cast for the upcoming Harry Potter audiobook - upsetting to see Hugh Laurie, Riz Ahmed, Matthew Macfadyen, and Michelle Gomez selling out the same damn week Rowling leads a bullying harassment campaign of a single M&S employee just doing her job because she MIGHT be trans.

This is just deeply depressing: women who spoke up during #MeToo often found their lives upended, as powerful men used defamation suits to target them, e.g. Roy Moore is still suing many of his accusers.

Tina Johnson accused Roy Moore of sexual assault. Then the world moved on, and left her behind.

Fun fact: a lot of PR money has been and will continue to be spent to convince working class consumers that the small things we do every day are "destroying the planet". Who pays for the PR? The actual biggest contributors to climate change. Heat exhaustion is a real threat, just turn the a/c on.

Yes, temperatures are rising. But more and more AC means more and more CO2 – and then more and more global heating. Let’s have some long-term thinking instead, writes Guardian columnist Emma Beddington

Mm. If I had to guess, I think one reason art discourses like these happen so much is bc a lot of our workforce is really young and new, and there is very little opportunity to maintain institutional knowledge—a lot of our colleagues and forebears burn out and go elsewhere.

In a pre-internet age, Sappho provided LGBTQ+ support through a magazine, social events and a postal Cassette Club.
In 1976 for £1.50 you could borrow cassette recordings offering advice on coming out, women's rights and consciousness raising, and two titles on transgender experiences.
