let's all get more perverted in 2026

I think it's more than a little fair for trans folks in the book community to be wary of readers who still love HP in 2025 and/or read HP-inspired romantasy novels.

To be sure, there can be (and are!) bad actors in bad faith using A.I. for bad, impure purposes. No disagreement there. But your anti-A.I. stance does not justify or excuse the decision to deliberately misuse something that is intended to help disabled people. Abusing alt text will have real harm.

with alt text, because everyone deserves a good cry. come over.

tis the season.

my patience has increased but I will say, it is ok to have trouble reading, it is not ok to scream at people for things you imagined they said because you can't read what they actually said

2025 namio preorders 🌸 12 Nov-30 Dec I finally stopped procrastinating on this 😶 RTs appreciated! Next reopening will probably also be late 2026... Form: forms.gle/PwwLJA6wErjt... (1/2)

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

once again thinking about starting a blog to write about science

With how social media and messaging apps are going, in 2026 the best way to contact me will be through IRC and the guestbook on yasossailormoonshrine.angelfire. com. Instead of privacy invasions and nazi apologists you'll get otomenopolicypiano.midi and a pixel chibiusa saying you're visitor 000003.

My splendid translator in France, Mikael Cabon, asked me to support an urgent campaign, launching today, opposing AI being used instead of people. I do so willingly, and feel same on behalf of audiobook readers and bookworld artists. I hope readers worldwide will show their agreement.

I'm very glad I live in a house that doesn't leak when it rains

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

i think about this quote constantly, and since i'm thinking of it again, i'm sharing it again! "I wonder sometimes whether with a slight adjustment of perspective [desire] could be cherished as a sensation on its own terms, since it is as inherent to the human condition as blue is to distance?"

this whole age verification thing is very annoying

I need a job that pays me enough to move out of this house into my own house istg I can never build a routine because no one in my family ever tells me what they're doing with their life aaaaa

Connected solar microgrids in Puerto Rico work together to keep the lights on. I’ve known that decentralized renewables make “grid orchestration” possible — mutual aid for electricity, rather than top-down or individual provision — excited to see it happening. spectrum.ieee.org/puerto-rico-...

you know, I think one thing people from places where it's fairly normal to get up to 28 C during the day forget about Europe is that our days are longer in the summer. 'open your windows at night' the sun is not going to go down until gone 10pm tonight and it will be up again at 4am

there was this really lovely photo?painting?picture? in the window of the big charity shop in town and I'm so tempted to go back and get it but I'd have to rearrange all of my walls

very excited to hear about the storks nesting in england

"I am not asking you to agree with us. I’m demanding that you reckon with the fact that ideology can become idolatry — and idolatry kills." Always listen to Eric K. Ward. "This is not the time for lukewarm moderates. But it is not the time for arsonists who have never built shelter either."

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

Good for you bro. Trying. Putting yourself out there. Expressing yourself through creativity. Experimenting with your various passions. That shit is not easy. Especially doing it over that incessant bitchass called doubt whispering "not good enough" in your ear. You're doing great, by the way.

I do agree, but 'maker' is ALSO a specific thing and a specific community in certain contexts and I'm very fond of people who choose to devote their time to making cool stuff and helping other folks do the same.

"For 2 hours each evening, the site got power and a lightbulb flickered on. Out of the forest darkness, a tornado of insects would flock to its glow. Lit up, the side of the house would be “absolutely plastered with moths – tens of thousands of them”." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

the desire to tell my boss I'm sick and go home is so strong, I am god's strongest soldier (having a depresso)

if any hot doctors want to marry me/have a platonic pet weirdo living in their house that they pay all the bills for, I'm tired of being employed and wish to be sponsored to do art and study alternative materials for space vehicles
