“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

clumsy me accidentally smashed my knuckles into a doorframe and it felt like my bones disintegrated right out of my hand and i was suddenly made of rubber. wtf is that about

By the way, bro, just because you didn't hit all the goals you set out to in 2025, doesn't mean you need to punish yourself by making an insurmountable mountain for 2026 to "make up for it" that will only stress and burn you out right out the gate. Go for your goals, but try to be on your own side.

how i'm walking out of 2025

there isn't a single thing a spreadsheet can't fix

Not enough prominent people are calling this out and too many politicians and journalists in the mainstream media keep doing this. Refugee = not illegal immigrant Refugee = not criminal Refugee = person fleeing persecution or conflict This is a matter of law, not opinion.

Isopod Daniel

On this day in 1989, an armed gunman murdered 14 women at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Another ten women and four men were injured. The anniversary of the massacre is commemorated annually on Dec. 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Slept dreaming of, woke up thinking about the extraordinary What Resembles the Grave but Isn’t by Anne Boyer

being disabled actually sucks fr. it's 9am and I'm in so much pain I can't picture finishing the work day and I'm trapped in a zoom meeting. gonna cry myself to sleep xx

People always ask me, “how do I know my manuscript is done?” There’s only one way, my friends. If your file name looks something like this: Manuscript - Final Draft 3.7 FINAL FINAL - FINAL (5).docx Then, and only then, is it time.

sobriety is one of the best possible choices i could ever have made for myself. i am so relieved to be sober

We are governed by monsters.

Worth pointing out the biggest supporters of trans people (which is who bigots mean by “gender ideology”) are bisexual & lesbian women. All the public “concerns” about trans people (phase, indoctrination, regret, etc) are recycled forms of homophobia. This is why LGB solidarity with the T is strong.

Who among us hasn’t dreamt of slowly descending down a stone spiral staircase with a torch in hand and discovering a hidden candlelit library filled with thousands of centuries-old novels and being welcomed by a cantankerous yet endearing library ghost?

ok now that i did my big career goal i'm ready to do my big writing goal. (soft launching that i got promoted and can leave the most anxiety-inducing job i've ever had)

Let me go on the record: as much money I have, whatever I can spare, I will ALWAYS want the extra to go to feed children

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

i get that the british describe consuming the devil's lettuce as antisocial behaviour but personally it makes me connect to humanity in a way so intimate and indescribable i hurriedly have to google poetry foundation to see if anyone else can relate

I still don't have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder, so no, I'm afraid your email did not "find me well."

y'all I'm obsessed with my new nails

The Hampstead ponds have REPEATEDLY voted to include trans women. But the officious pricks at Sex Matters don’t care what other women think and are forcing a public consultation anyway. Throw the ponds some support.

i fear if bad things keep happening i am going to have to take things into my own hands

i don't stan anyone as much as i stan lilsimsie

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

I’m regrettably not eating a pumpkin scone in the middle of a fog-laden pumpkin patch on a cool October day with the sound of crows in the distance, so no, I’m afraid your email did not “find me well."

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

what the fuck was i on about

i hate it here guys i'm despairing into the void i just want to live my life and make art why is the only thing i do rage against the machine

Please don't cost us any more money here's Kimmel back and we threw a muppet at Pedo Pascal please like us

so nigel farage wants to scrap indefinite leave to remain (which i will rely on to be able to stay in the UK, get citizenship, and remain here with my wife). even apparently looking to revoke it from people who already have it! which is totally not terrifying or anything

actually while i'm here let me go on another rant about something i'm pissed about one sec

sorry guys i angry posted about autism and eugenics, i'll go back to my regularly scheduled silence shortly

i found the cure for autism it's called minding your fucking business

Tylenol in pregnancy doesn’t cause autism. There isn’t an “epidemic of autism”. Autism is not the fault of the mother or the child. Whatever they announce tomorrow, it won’t be based in science or truth. Stay vigilant, follow the science and support the neurodivergent community.

joining the war on autism on the side of autism

the premise of attempting to determine the 'cause' for autism is inherently flawed. even if it was possible, which i (and most experts) believe is extremely unlikely, the suggestion that its cause *should* be determined, in an effort to eliminate it, is eugenics.
