Am I sad or am I just really tired?

Today i am irritable and grumpy.

I think a thing a lot of people don’t understand is that propaganda does not convince anyone of anything through argumentation. It’s about frequency, not force. You get exposed to it enough and it changes how you think.

Please link your favourite podcasts (bonus if on Spotify!)

Nobody can forcefully remove you from a bathroom. If they do call 999 (when safe to do so) and say you have just been assaulted. Sexualy assaulted if they so much as graze a boob or other private area. Nobody has the right to abuse you, and that includes security staff.

I’ve just stood in the sunshine and while still ill I feel somewhat healed.

Meta is continually going out of its way to put women in more danger. Their glasses are already the creepiest thing ever. Most of society sees owning them as a massive red flag. Yet they're making them even creepier and more dangerous??

If you come into my mentions to try and defend Neil Gaiman, especially if you are another cishet man, just know that I think you are also likely a rapist.

I'm trying to get my life back on track. Any help is appreciated www.gofundme.com/f/help-jay-w...

They don’t use this place often, so I’m gonna shout about it… @ashleyhblake.bsky.social hit the USA Today bestseller list with her latest novel! Congrats Ashley and @beccapodos.bsky.social. 💜

My day keeps getting worse

The horrors persist (a terrible nights sleep) but so do I (getting up instead of refusing to get out of bed)

Please share widely. www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/2583005...

This lovely thing arrived this morning. SIGNED copies of Pretenders to the Throne of God by Adrian Tchaikovsky @aptshadow.bsky.social. Lots of pre-orders for this one, but I have TWO signed copies left. Get one HERE. www.biggreenbookshop.com/signed-copie...

oh come on, what the hell can people have the basic decency not to steal materials i used for fundraising to fight the British Museum over stealing my translations, for their own book promo? also, I know people often compare Qiu Jin to Joan of Arc, but don't start with that in your opening line

Illness has hit cat cottage this week which means a weekend curled up on the sofa under a blanket like a Victorian mistress with a head cold.

Social media use really isn’t helping on stressful days. Think I’ll have a few days respite and see you all at the weekend

oh no shit? it's almost like everything trans people were telling you this entire time was true? wild

Today has been a day. Posting on my alt/throwaway account is helping. I start tomorrow modding so it’ll already be a better day

life is just one £200 unexpected bill after another and then a funeral bill but at least you don't have to worry about that one

The funny thing about this is that I used to think JK talked about Lolita in these terms because she has the kind of literary analysis you'd expect from the writer of Harry Potter, but recent revelations make that the *charitable* read.

🤔 It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?

The afternoon can only get better, right?

I just feel so stupid

Got up (not when my alarm went off but I got up) and did some hula hooping. Already a better morning than yesterday

JK Rowling has been throwing terfy tantrums for years citing "the safety of women," and finding out that she is so much more insidious than we knew when she is already one of the worst people alive is fucking crazy

One of my February goals was to get up when my alarm went off and do some weighted hula hooping before work. Considering I’m still in bed after snoozing for 45 minutes I guess I can try again tomorrow or just get up now and do a little.

I love a good conspiracy theory.

There's a simple solution for Labour here: use that parliamentary majority to introduce PR.

Does anyone else remember New Labour blasting “Things can only get better” during the election? Kind of ironic that everything has got much worse.

Also today is Imbolc where we celebrate the Goddess Brigid and the first signs of spring. 🔥🌸🌱

January was such a rough month so February has a lot to make up for.

the brontë parsonage museum says emerald fennell is wrong btw

Mostly a skeet for @stillicides.bsky.social but today I got a copy of Moby Dick 🐳

No death penalty 👏

Happy Good Girl day by Paris Paloma to all that celebrate

A group of trans people in Germany, circa 1930 (pre full Nazi take over and book burnings). It's important to share this image widely as it dispels the myth that being trans is something new and trendy.

This #buyastrangerabook offer from @ivebeenhigh.bsky.social is still unclaimed. Come on. It's not that hard to ask.

WAHHHHHHHHHHHH 😭

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Makes you wonder just how dangerously invested the UK is into ai stock and companies if they’re pulling a move this desperate lmao

Told myself that nothing work related will get to me today and so far so good. Just plodding along

Ah jesus fuck

Created an alt account to complain about work without worrying about anyone from work peeping. Not that it’s a positive account but if anyone wants to follow lemme know

Just fyi the Rafah border may be opening this week- no one knows what the requirements will be to leave but you might see a lot of people fundraising again for it

All of this has also been mooted by the Labour Party with the possible exception of the camp; they think it is more sensible to use our existing network of military bases that have been ruled unsuitable for human life.

Finally changed over to Proton after procrastinating for ages. Would love there to be an easy way of changing all my email sign ins to the new email.
