I've never really been a video gamer and some friends have been trying to get me into it/I've read about some interesting games so my current video gaming career looks like: 2001: Pokemon Silver 2010: Minecraft beta 2025: Kirby and the Forgotten Land 2026: 1000xResist

Went to the BVSC/BST live show last night and I'm glad Tom and Demi finally pointed out that we were sitting listening to a live podcast recording in the club from Blade.

In the morning women love me, in the evening fish fear me, what am I?

the latest pitt episode is off the chain. what a season.

I'm thrilled to be a part of this incredible lineup of speakers and artists later this month for Trans Day of Visiblity. Tickets are free but places are sure to fill up! www.eventbrite.com/e/speaker-se...

i've mostly stopped reading the trans news out of sheer depression, but the current version of erin reed's risk assessment map is... quite something

New from me. I’m really proud of this piece, and thrilled to be working with the team at Scarleteen to be publishing the kinds of health promotion work I haven’t seen anywhere else.

We know it's important to take serious precautions when it comes to STI prevention. What if we did the same for COVID? @lizduckchong.bsky.social explores what that might look like: www.scarleteen.com/read/what-...

Going to start using the old-timey scientific method to approach technologies of the day.

Go to this, I will be there also.

After reading that my takeaway is hoq many parents feel like they own their children and loathe the idea of their kid developing an identity.

the labor party

absolutely nuts areas. internet companies are incredible.

Seeking recommendations for an email newsletter provider. Desires: text only/text predominant, free for a good few hundred subscribers at least, minimum marketing bullshit, platform doesn't cater to nazis. I don't want to "elevate my brand" or "segment my audience" I want to share words.

the web is back babey

Some important advice for new writers, especially of speculative work: it’s important to not try and make your characters fuckable. It’s your job to make them weird and your audiences job to want to fuck them because of how weird they are 😌

I would respect drag artists more if they adopted a clown egg system.

Government and industry are making an absolute mockery of environmental law and threatened species conservation www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

For @thesicktimes.org, I looked at the state of COVID safety in live music and how artists and event producers can still protect themselves and audiences thesicktimes.org/2026/02/17/t...

Feels really nice to be back at a place where there are a few pieces waiting to be published, a few more on my desk, getting to sit down each day and make something.

Please please my fellow journalists who are writing "Data centers in space!" pieces, read this breakdown from a retired NASA engineer before you publish. At least to ask yourself some questions. taranis.ie/datacenters-...

Went for a walk and saw approximately 400 million crabs.

sounds like RAM prices are baad news

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

Me as a child: it must be very hard to become a CEO and be very hard work once you get the job Guy obviously on drugs speaking at a conference: the next five years of the economy should be about a dream I had where a dog spoke to me

I don't hold grudges, except for that time 11 years ago when a cis woman yelled at me because I said we should give all kids regardless of gender modality the option to take puberty blockers for a couple of years. Taking that one to my grave :)

It’s easy to think writing is mainly the transcription of ideas you already have—that is, until you try to write something worthwhile, and you find what you thought were saying transform into something far more interesting in the process. This skips that last step, and that is *not* an improvement.

Oh no I read some of the subreddit of people who are 'dating' their LLMs.

Apparently the new model tells them to touch grass and they are not digging it

"How long diseases like measles and the flu linger in the air — after an infected person has left the room" RSV: up to 45 mins Influenza: at least 1 hr Rhinovirus: 1-2 hrs Measles: up to 2 hrs Norovirus: up to 2 hrs COVID-19: up to 3 hrs Chickenpox: several hrs Mumps: several hrs TB: 6-12 hrs

norks is deeply unsexy but a very funny word and sometimes sex has to be funnier than it is sexy.

“We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend”

might fuck around and put on a tati picture this evening.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

What are your absolute all timer jazz records?

do I buy a hobonichi planner...

Truly wild to have been out for slightly longer than this data and to have witnessed this in real time as a trans person in the world, which is to say, this absolutely lines up with what I have experienced.

eating is passe as a metaphor for overconsumption

Fucking incredible to see all the pearl-clutching about “from the river to the sea” and “globalise the intifada” while Israel with the help of USA, endorsed by Australia just straight up evaporating thousands of Palestinian children with thermobaric weapons. Feel like I’m going fucking mad. #auspol

Hey mutuals! I'm running a weekly drop in blood on the clocktower game, organised via signal chat. If we follow each other or know each other and you'd like to join, lemme know! ☺️

One day a tech evangelist will invent paying your staff a wage.

sigh

the social cohesion episode of the hollowmen in my head writes itself.
