When using a public toilet I always try to get out as quickly as possible without touching anything. Never have I wondered what anyone else’s genitals looked like while doing that. Trans rights are human rights.

Front cover of Joe's ace new book, Imperfect Creatures. Blurb for Joe's book. Clare returns home to Harrow, hits a man with her car, has a panic attack, goes to her father’s funeral, searches for his notes on his final book then Clare returns home to Harrow, hits a deer with her car, has a panic attack, goes to her father’s funeral, meets a stranger called Jack, searches for her dad’s notes then Clare returns home to Harrow, narrowly misses a man with her car, has a panic attack, skips her dad’s funeral, doesn’t meet a non-stranger called Jack, searches for her dad And that’s before everything falls apart. An unyielding plunge into memory, grief, and the instability of reality, Imperfect Creatures explores one woman’s experience with the House—an eldritch creature that feeds on pain and suffering, predating humankind’s shared conceptual universe. As Clare attempts to reckon with her mother’s traumatic death when she was a child and her father’s recent passing, the House draws her further and further into a web of illusion and realization, through phone calls, hallucinations, and a constant repetition repetition repetition of pain and horror.

It's also: you don't know who is going to become what. A society more confident in itself would believe a little bit more in its ability to make anyone thrive and give back.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.
Screen grab of Taskmaster where Nick Mohammed is walking towards Alex Horne. Nick is dressed like Dracula. Alex is standing next to a wooden wall with yellow gloves sticking out. There's a big puddle of water in the frame, and we can see Alex's reflection but NOT Nick's, because Vampires don't have reflections.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today....

This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

I made a tiny game for PicoSteveMo with @dicey.bsky.social !

➡️ It's called King Stephen
➡️ You play as King Stephen (King of England 1135-1154)
➡️ It's a Reigns-like decision-making game
➡️ I did the writing + portraits
➡️ Made for a Stephen King game jam
➡️ It's very silly

Sharing this "scientific paper" with Bsky because misery loves company: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Figure illustrating an AI slop paper purportedly describing AI assisted diagnosis of autism in children. Too many elements to describe but it's talking about "Medical frymbial & Environmental features", "Factor Fexcectorn", "RELU DROP-OUT Totalbottl. REMECH N" and other … things? Illustrated with a parent holding her child, but the parent's legs are embedded in the table the kid is sitting on.

the reason i know i'm going to hell is that last night in chat a friend explained that with headphone jacks every millimeter (mm) decreases the loss and i replied "are you sure" after spending 30 minutes making this:
The Loss comic meme but it’s the Yellow M&M. Top left he’s going into the hospital uncertain. Top right he’s asking a person at the reception desk for directions while looking pensive. Bottom left he’s looking at something on his phone - directions? Social media? Bottom right he is standing over his partner looking sad. Loss purists may ask: why aren't there two figures in the bottom left. There are - the Yellow M&M and his phone.

Just taken delivery of the rather special cards I’ll be signing that everyone who orders a Sgt Pepper book before Christmas will be getting in advance of the book. You can gift it or keep it with the book. Up to you.
Still 5 days left to get it on the Kickstarter:

And finally, today, one year after launching my first LGBTree pride pin to help fund transition, I'm launching another tree!

This time the trees are decorated for Christmas as part of my winter pin drop!

canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4405...
A christmas tree pin with a trans star on top and six stripes of glittery rainbow tinsel. Printed onto the tree are a lesbian robin and a pansexual candy cane, plus gay, genderfluid, genderqueer, nonbinary, bisexual, aromantic, agender, progress pride, asexual, and intersex baubles The same but the tree is white with a snow effect and the tinsel is pink and blue to make it the trans flag

Said the phrase 'I'm over the moon!' to a Polish man and he was a little confused and asked what I meant so I explained and when I finished he just shook his head and said 'You're happy but you have no business in space.'
