if you're feeling overwhelmed right now, please be aware that a new cosy moomin game came out on switch yesterday and it's full of tiny neurodivergent creatures who are also unsure whether they're sad or just hungry

I don't like those things either tbf, I want a life I don't need to dissociate from and one heavily imbalanced in favour of leisure and community

I feel like every RPG lately is either some dingy medieval thing called like BLOODRIVEN: FABLES OF HELLMOUTH or inane cutesy anime dross. May we have... something in between, perhaps? A story with adult themes and dialogue that isn't just hacking things to bits in the dark?

There have been lots of nice Mitski moments, but I'm coming to terms with the fact that I've been waiting for anything to approach the delirious, white hot perfection of this song for a full decade now and it's just never going to happen

PITCH: a piece exploring the transphobic crank to technofeudalist pipeline called Serf & Terf

“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...” A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today. lithub.com/renee-nicole...

You love to see it

Ordering a stack of these. If you want to understand why the USA is attacking Venezuela and stealing it's oil this is a good place to start

The recognition of what I propose we call “enemy feminism” is also liberating, because it means we can skip the stage of “calling in” people who are plainly more interested in upholding a version of patriarchy that includes them in its upper ranks than destroying it. lux-magazine.com/article/terf...

I cannot emphasise enough that you should just make weird shit. be however serious about it as you want to be but life is about Making Weird Shit. that’s ultimately all there is

become ungovernable

"New York will remain a city of immigrants, built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant." GOD YOU JUST FUCKING LOVE TO SEE IT

Saved you a click: it's performing the charade of life in a spiritual wasteland

reminder there's no good reason to still be on there, the AI DJ doesn't care about you, unsubscribe and get back into piracy

To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if Janelle Monae really has worked out time travel and chose to share that breakthrough in an interview with Lucy Dacus, I don't think there's anything they can't do

This is fine, probably

kind of fascinated that we don't have viral slang for "non-AI" yet and feel like it'll be a watershed moment when it emerges

here’s john mulvey in the nme at the time, if you want an indication of how utterly hideous the music press was at that time and what the state of its elders presently is www.nme.com/reviews/revi...

i’ve not felt as excited by the prospect of a leader in my whole voting life as i am for Zack Polanski. these next few years are crucial.

I'm not interested in your MBTI, tell me what choices you made at the end of 1000xRESIST

I'm very sorry to report that reddit is now the best social media

I'm generally a supporter of restorative justice but I don't believe these people can be safely rehabilitated into society

Why is it so hard to follow WSL news / updates on bluesky? Any account recommendations pls? ⚽

If you pinned me down and demanded the name of the best music journalist currently working, I would shriek like a wounded seagull and then probably press charges. But I honestly think it's Emma

Curry house implies the existence of a harder, faster, possibly darker curry techno

I don't know what the Crab Museum is going through right now, but I am ready to take up arms and fight as they navigate forwards, and possibly sideways, through this moment of darkness

It's just time to accept that there's an entire generation whose brains have been toxified by mold and that's why they've become obsessed with hating trans people and speedrunning divorce

Last book: Post-Work by Helen Hester & Will Stronge Current book: Friends in Common by Laura C. Forster & Joel White Last book added to TBR: Love in Exile by Shon Faye Next book: Bone Horn by Prudence Bussey-Chamberlain

It's mid-August and parts of the city are covered in brown and yellow leaves. I'm sure this is probably a good omen

It's insane how much energy crossover there is between Damon Albarn and Jamie Oliver. Really think they could swap jobs for a few years and no one would notice

You are a violent and irrepressible miracle. The vacuum of cosmos and the stars burning in it are afraid of you. Given enough time you would wipe us all out and replace us with nothing -- just by accident.

Remember Me next to Brat 😘👌

Quite frankly the best camp disco-tinged pop song named after a film since Fame. Almost as good as Choreograph

VOLITION - No. Not a disaster. Weave this into the story of you. Walk out of its *ruins*. Save those who still can be saved -- *I'm* on your side.

Once again the people of our city showed the fascists that they should still be afraid of Bristol. We outnumbered them 10 to 1 and they didn't get anywhere near the hotel. Bristol is antifascist! 🏴🚩 #Bristol #BristolAntifascists #Antifascism #Antifascist #Antifa

JFC. 150 arrested now. In future, when people read how a genocide was allowed to happen in #Gaza, the history books will note that some did take a stand. They included college students, the elderly and the disabled. Their government labelled them terrorist supporters & arrested them.

I get that it's tough for some people to choose between Spotify and Tidal because one is pumping £600m into AI combat drones and the other doesn't have a sleep timer, so yeah it's basically impossible to decide

"We" is doing a lot of work here. I think you mean: "the Guardian".

YOU - I don't want to be this kind of animal anymore.

In a stunning moment of carnal desire, my calculator said “BOOBIE5”

The Jet2 holiday commercial voiceover and the new left movement are already inextricably linked, and their union becomes clearer by the day. You cannot stop this. You can only better understand the flight path of a journey with several departures, but only one arrival. Darling, hold my hand. 🧵

He really didn't have any other colour shirts available for that photoshoot huh
