One of my harp strings broke. Right before Xmas. Devastating.

Brits are not ready to find out about Québec.

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

I could write a whole book about Brittany Murphy’s face.

We, collectively, need Paz de la Huerta to reenter the public sphere.

Gay’s the Word had to close for the week before Xmas, but they are back open after the renovation! Perfect place for last minute holiday shopping! Best selection of books in the city.

If you just need an uplifting Xmas movie, nothing too sad, try the Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964).

All photos should be out of focus.

EXCLUSIVE The BBC has circulated leaked guidance telling journalists to describe trans women as “biological males”. Clarity should not come at the cost of dignity. #bbc #humanrights #journalism #transparency #transrights

Crossy Clinton? In the Epstein Files? I’m logging off.

So grim

Attacks on feminism are similar to attacks on vaccines. We begin to take for granted a world where women have rights and most children live to see adulthood, and then, over time, we begin to forget, neglect, and (now) reject the movements and innovations that brought us here.

Depression is not a choice. But you CAN choose to be depressed in an interesting or cool way instead of a loser way.

Today, French lawmakers unanimously approved a bill exonerating women punished for abortion before it was legalized in 1975. This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.

The BMA has published an updated policy position on the rights of transgender and non-binary people in healthcare settings. www.bma.org.uk/advice-and-s...

It is a sign of how fundamentally abused and traumatised trans communities are in the UK that many folks are responding to Levy with relief and cautious welcome. It could have been a lot worse. But it fundamentally fails to deliver meaningful improvements to trans healthcare. 1/4

Happy Thursday everyone

"You will be haunted," resumed the Ghost, "by Three Spirits." Scrooge's countenance fell almost as low as the Ghost's had done. "So you and two others, Jacob?" he demanded, in a faltering voice. "No. Three more." "So four spirits" said Scrooge. The ghost’s head dropped as it sighed. “Fuck’s sa

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison. Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

My first 2026 prediction is that a certain genre of trans women will get obsessed with Monique Wittig.

“A universal system of human rights was built to make sure that we could never end up in that nightmare scenario [of hierarchisation of rights in the Nazi era] again. We have to be very cautious and careful about the ultimate consequences of the paths we might embark on.”

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔 A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice. Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

Why is Keir Starmer so hellbent on digital ID? Two words: Tony Blair. The Nerve has tracked Blair’s influence—and his billionaire backer, Oracle/Paramount owner Larry Ellison—behind a policy that nobody asked for and almost nobody wants, but which would mean billions for Oracle.

Considering marrying a planet.

Joyce Carol Oates and I both have a commitment to wearing a strong lip.

The coming years are going to reveal a lot more waste on 'AI' like this by our governments, to the tune of 10s of billions squandered on appalling nonsense, all to make rich Tech Bros richer.

the brits should be so embarrassed by their transphobia, they got completely bamboozled by an American evangelical plot. they think they’re so much smarter than us but they got turned into a country of jug hooting bigots without even needing to be told it’s what God wants.

A perfect day to dog-sit this little friend.

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

Camille Paglia’s coke nail.

Very funny seeing people wearing t-shirts with a phrase I coined on it.

dear Morning Crowd!!!

Tapping the “death is what gives life meaning” sign.

If anyone did this with me, my actually ghost would find you and make you pay.

Video footage shows Israeli forces arresting hundreds of Palestinians in a series of raids across the occupied West Bank.

Little Miss Pitching Publications.

Boredom and secrecy are key to creativity.

The UK couldn’t have an Olivia Nuzzi situation because all of the columnists are already married to the politicians.

When are we to expect newspaper front-page interview features with Dr. Beth Upton about her two-year ordeal of having her right to anonymity removed and her name dragged through the mud and being decried as a sexual predator only for a tribunal to clear her and find SHE was discriminated against?

Unless you're reading this from your private jet, the same system is oppressing us all. linktr.ee/boldpolitics

The real victim at the centre of this absurd case is very clearly Dr Beth Upton To witness the way in which she’s been dehumanised and vilified by Peggie and their (Sex Matters) legal team, the tribunal judge, the British media, and UK politicians has been beyond horrifying Solidarity Beth

7 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- 15 UK mental health charities write to Equalities Minister saying the suggested new anti-trans single-sex spaces policy will “deepen existing inequalities and pose significant risk to the mental health of trans and non-binary people across UK”.

If I read the book that I buy then it doesn’t count as spending money.

you can't talk to me like that. I'm a multidisciplinary artist
