With Julian Howes at #Pride. Julian was at the first Pride protest in London in 1972 - and still marching strong (although I carried his handbag for him because Pride is about being there for each other). 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Huh. Not the ingredients I would have expected

Labour would improve accessibility for delivery drones before it does for disabled people.

and where there is accessibility for disabled people they would remove it for better access for delivery drones.

I have enjoyed looking after my friends cats this week but I am super worn out now. If I'd planned my time better it'd have been fine but I didn't, so ended up on buses at the busiest times of the day. Today I will be resting. Aggressively, if need be.

Baby's first philosophical wankfest. I remember being this silly, about the same time I was getting to grips with basic socialisation. I may or may not have realised who the Tooth Fairy really was.

Thank you, we responded this great discussion to say we’re happy to share data that shows many cis women don’t feel like this. We always welcome coverage of that, for the 100k women who have signed so far, so thanks for sharing 🙏 notinourname.org.uk

Sadly, one thing we know for certain about people who are being conned is that, once the con is well underway, they will absolutely refuse to believe they are being conned until everything is gone.

I've talked to parents of children in minority demographics who tried sending their kids out to play in the street. Next thing they know, the Police are outside. Harassing _literal_ children. The parents decided it wasn't safe to let them roam after all.

Well, my message hasn't been responded to. I'm assuming that, unless I hear something in the next 24 hours, someone else had a more suitable space for him. There are some lovely Labs available now though!

Game over. It will NEVER get better than this. #WorldBollardAssociation

I just saw an advert for a dog that might suit me. The ad includes that the dogs euthanasia is booked for this week if he doesn't find a new home :/

To be clear, every one of these has occurred within 30 miles of my home. That last one to my neighbour. By my _other_ neighbour.

I'm not "agreeing to disagree" with people who are terrorising asylum seekers in Falkirk, or stabbing people walking out of a mosque, or repeatedly making spurious complaints about the immigrant family in the stair. If I hadn't been boycotting the guardian already, I would be now.

BILLIONS OF ART

Gonna start a business selling (refrigerated) truckloads of Scottish air. Available by the lungful, bottle or (airtight) case.

Also, it is lovely and cool out today. Everyone is in jumpers and jackets and I'm in my shirtsleeves and still dripping with sweat.

I survived the big thunder storm without panicking, needing beta blockers or using my noise cancelling headphones! That's the first time in years I've heard the big sky bangs without a huge adrenaline spike. It only delayed my bedtime by about a half hour too!

Me: Okay, there's been a thunderstorm, the heatwave should be over now. (New health bar appears) (The sun is now named 'Sol, Starflame of Regret') (Objectively the greatest piece of classical music ever recorded starts playing).

Ok, because I am on here at night, which I usually manage to avoid. I caught the edges of the us/eu Great Aircon Debate/Flamewar and I really can not be arsed with delivering my short lecture on coastal climates with particular reference to These Very Damp and Humid Islands.

One heck of a big storm moving through central Scotland the now. I am, surprisingly, not freaking out. Cats are a bit jumpy, as am I, so I've put on music to try and mask it a bit.

I am so fucking glad I live where I do. About 3 hours ago the wind changed and brought a haar in from the north sea, with a lovely cool breeze. The ambient temperature has dropped by 5 degrees.

Apparently I was the most prepared for the weather in the salon today, out of all my colourists clients. I was the one with one bottle of frozen water and one bottle of cool water with electrolytes.

I need your most on the nose climate change impact No, that's too on the nose

My Job Is To Know Things But I Would Prefer Not To

Who is excited for my new hair colour? Is it not lovely!

At the bus stop. Well, I'm close to the bus stop sitting under a tree for the shade. There's a bunch of people standing in the full sun, like, do they they not realise that that's a bad idea?

Now, on the hottest day of the year (so far) I am going to go and sit in a room with a large south facing window and no a/c through the hottest part of the day. Well, maybe my hair will dye quicker in the heat.

Post-extraction update. I'm actually feeling ok! Pain is lower than I expected, which is excellent. A bit of generalised ache around the jaw but mostly restricted top the actual problem site.

It is "i put an ice pack in (one of) the cat's water dishes" degrees here in Scotland.

every time you see a headline that begins with “we have to,” replace the “we” with “you” and you’ll immediately understand the purpose of the piece and the power dynamics at play

You can get you Big Cat fix here: bsky.app/profile/gian...

There should be a movie called “all cats are big now” where all cats are suddenly 10 feet tall and hunting their owners and Patrick Wilson is a scientist looking at a screen and it shows a graph of cats being small and then big with an arrow pointing at big and he takes off his glasses dramatically

The system is working as designed. This has always been the goal. AI is a capitalist dream and the worker's nightmare.

So, Dental appointment went well. I'm sore now the anaesthetic is wearing off (why* does my _eyeball_ ache? WTF?!) but I'm feeling pretty ok apart from that. I am going to nap while the cats enjoy some balcony time. *I know why, this happened last time I had a wisdom tooth out.

As an occasional watcher of scientology (RIP Mike Rinder, he was a real one) I am regularly struck by the similarities between cult recruitment and how transphobic groups operate.

Reminder to peeps enduring the UK weather. The best time to put a bottle (partially filled with some of the air squeezed out) of water in the freezer is yesterday. The second best time is right now.

"Left of Centre" and "Humanist" are practically dog whistles at this point. I've yet to see someone with that pair of terms in their bio who doesn't come across as a bootlicking "I've got mine fuck you" kinda cunt.

Lol I prob won't ever finish it but I've been on and off working on adapting one of the winnie the pooh stories as an animation now that it's in the public domain. This is Eeyore.

Three days til the big dental appointment. Broken tooth is fine! No pain, no inflammation! I think it's going to be ok! The fact that my hair colouring appointment is the next day is...not ideal. I'm not rescheduling it though as it'd be another month wait.

Hello! I definitely wasn't asleep at the time I'm meant to go live. Anyway I'm awake now and it's our last stream of the week - come say hi! twitch.tv/geddstation

We're both watching GN. You are here for tech hardware news. I am here for the middle-aged nerd thirst traps. We are not the same.
