Ohhh I'm slowly getting my head around Notion. It's good, maybe even actually useful once the ADHD curiosity has worn off. Currently got a table for commissioned work that is organised into a dashboard showing upcoming/in progress/to invoice work. Almost a CRM but one that works for me.

There's a lot of talk about leaving Substack & whether it will be the death-knell of your newsletter. I have been on Beehiiv for 7 months now & @tlpavlich.gay helped me run some numbers. So, was leaving Substack worth it? The answer, for me, has been a resounding "yes." Here are the hard numbers:

It's happening! 📢 On Tuesday, MPs will consider an amendment to enable local leaders to ban pavement parking in their area. We need you to help us get this amendment on to the Bill. Ask your MP to agree to Amendment 265 when it's considered on Tuesday: https://bitly.livingstreets.org.uk/4tMU2Uq

Happy 80th Birthday to Tim Curry, a guy who treats every single part like it was the role he was born to play.

I do miss Baltic of the 201x's. Twas interesting, promising and of course doomed to become gentrified/ruined by money. For a time, it was home.

Gotta admit that my increasing hearing issues are causing a lot of isolation issues. I’ve spent years working on social anxiety, depression and finding communities to connect with to fight those issues only to feel alone again. #Deaf

This shot from Artemis II of the Moon eclipsing the Sun is one of the most breathtaking astronomical photos I've ever seen. Holy *shit*. [kottke.org]

Lunar flyby. Amazing that we can watch this in such good quality.

Livestream: Artemis II is about to fly around the Moon. At around 1:56pm ET, they’ll surpass the Apollo 13 distance record. And: “At their closest point, they’ll pass roughly 4,000 miles above the lunar surface.” [youtube.com]

Great fun playing in the waves on the south coast. Fresh, but not too cold. #ColdWaterDipping #OpenWaterSwimming

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Last week, @7streets got misty eyed riding the Royal Iris on one of her final crossings, so we asked him to write about it. As he explains in the piece, this is where his dad proposed to his mum back in 1961 — it has serious history 👇 www.livpost.co.uk/goodbye-to-t...

Oh hell yeah, we're getting the variety of camera angles getting uploaded to images.nasa for the launch, and here's the view of the launch from the Mobile Launcher.

Excellent visualization of the true distance between the Earth and our moon: #artemis #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s...

Folks.

It's Trans Day of Visibility, so we've made our special series about being trans on the internet completely free to read for everyone, forever. www.theverge.com/cs/features/... Here are a few stories from the collection:

Here we go - Delighted to be working with an amazing team in Wirral on The Paul O'Grady Story, a major retrospective exhibition at the Williamson Art Gallery in Birkenhead. And it will be FREE theguideliverpool.com/williamson-a...

Only Paramount would celebrate Star Trek's 60th anniversary by telling its fans to fuck off.

A man on the street was shouting “Jesus saves”. It’s good advice and a shame I didn’t have time to stick around and listen to Jesus’s backup strategy.

My autistic little brain still can’t process how people can take to the streets to say no to facism while holding a sign saying “please subscribe to my Substack”. It confuses me. Thought people knew Substack was the Nazi bar. Is it? Am I over thinking and harming myself more for ignoring the space?

Thoughts by me on attending a #deaf community photography exhibition. It was not what I expected. #photography

How do you stop worrying about dumb trends people follow? The new AI caricature doing the rounds is bad, but we never stop doing dumb stuff. A hundred years ago people happily wore arsenic, even knowing the risks. I need to stop being surprised by basic human stupidity. We ain’t changing.
