To not teach as fact that all people have a gender identity. To teach that transgenderism a debate. Prejudicial bullying up 68% in last 5 years. 25% up for homophobic and transphobic bullying. Poor kids 💔

Office in summer semester after resignation accepted.

Can't come to work the Gods are too angry.

Thinking of Jack Ky Tan's artist contract work + value of easy read docs, bc the tone of mandatory + non-negotiable language to someone on the spectrum or trying to hold down recovery is just a deal breaker. The contract is how you start a relationship. Mb prob is corporate understanding of one.

(I have been offered a desk in the anthropology department 🫠)

Preach!

Fuck off. The WiFi is right enough.

Helen DeWitt on turning down a $175k Windham-Campbell Prize because she wasn't able to handle the prize's mandatory publicity requirements. Imo a moving, deeply relatable, and darkly funny story about money, obligation, mental health, & executive dysfunction paperpools.blogspot.com/2026/04/we-l...

Wrote my resignation letter and scheduled send for 8am. In a bus stop sweating, drinking a tinny G+T and reading a short story in a magazine; wondering if my email tone's going to relax.

6 days to go until BMS 2026 starts: Rushes have 6 tepals around their flowers. Tepals are the leaf-like, outer parts of a flower. The term is used when petals and sepals are indistinguishable.

I put a photo of my partners underpanted butt online with his knowledge and approval, and then it got flagged by the mods and so I had a little think and then I took it down. The final act from bank holiday shenanigans.

Thrift on Achill with the Atlantic wind #wildflowerhour

There's been some erosion on the Crigyll estuary but this brave little clump of Bird's-foot Trefoil has managed to cling on looking like a hanging basket on the sand bank #WildFlowerShow #Wildflowerhour

Hawthorn opening at last #wildflowerhour

Here is my sweet aquilegia for #wildflowershow #wildflowerhour I've been waiting 18months to see this rhubarb and custard looking flower bc it just gave me leaves last summer! They are wild all over the hillside pavements and alleyways here, tho I grew mine from seed in a pot!

Seth facetimes his dad to ask him to put me on so he can show me his first tattoo (17). A tattoo that his mam doesn't know owt of and he's bypassed his dad to tell me about. Feeling venerated rn.

So what happens when Reform take over your local council? This. #KentCountyCouncil

A real must-read by #WilliamDavies #Stupidology First time I've encountered any theory on the value of imagination as a compositional tool, though ofc I believe that to be true as an artist. Love this mag. Makes me want to be in the world. @nplusonemag.com www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/pol...

Barometric head and eyeball twist

We're starting a joke where we pretend any person we come across is shitting themselves for when king of the north gets in and they have to stop cutting corners and cheating people.

Dog will rugby tackle a zombie dog after just having its throat bit out to stop the zombie dog from getting you. That's how dogs are. Legends.

If an event is free to attend and there are some refreshments generously provided (but not to order) why is gathering your personal data through an online third-party platform 'essential'

Will develop an AHRC funded anthropology PhD from Oct titled 'The Countersocial: a dialogic, sonic ethnography of autistic communication and community' in which a gang of dudes (incl. me) make an audio portrait of themselves reflecting on ideas and experiences of comms and 'community'. 🐒🔊

Creeps and chancers the lot

My professional nerve has officially been tested for over a week on an important funding application. If I don't hear tomorrow I'm starting smoking straights. And I HATE straights. And I'm four years pink-lunged.

The man charging me for the £4.30 150ml coffee in a plastic cup told me to buy a cake and treat myself, like it's 2006.

By my count this is the seventh Reform councillor suspended after being elected just one week ago*, mostly for expressing direct support for Nazism or other forms of racism.

Friend got arrested, police smashed their hands in, when they arrived at hospital the nurse asked if the police have done it - they see the injury often!

Sure wish that Anslem Franke edited collection on Animism from Sternberg weren't reselling for a billion quid.

The AI voice trying to pronoun Mytholmroyd in a Yorkshire accent is part of a future I never social contracted to. Cringing from Sowerby to Hebden.

I've got a colleague who always writes that I'm being very helpful as always when I think he means I'm being a dick.

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

..says man who wouldn't hold a by-election when he changed parties.

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.
