Moon. Mars.

I'm moving out of my flat soon (turns out getting sick and quitting your job isn't great for paying rent) and I'm not doing too much to ritualise packing up, but every time it rains I stop what I'm doing/stop any music and just sit and listen to it for a little while.

2016 / 2026

New from me (and my partner and 1st time co-author Juniper!!), we talk about erections in a trans-inclusive and non-gendered way, including wanting them, not wanting them, and how to feel good no matter what! www.scarleteen.com/read/sex-sex...

I would like to point people to this short story by @naomikritzer.bsky.social it really encapsulates a lot of the attitude we hold dear. I love it. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

100% agree but also this is the feeling I get when I see any ads at all tbh

I am blood on the clocktower pilled

If I was made the boss of words for a day I would give all acronyms a version number to avoid confusion. How was my day? I had a good therapy session today where we did CBT.1, but I must admit I'm still a bit sore from doing so much CBT.2 yesterday night.

Finally going through and sorting/labelling my photos from Iceland in mid 2024 and damn it just immediately brings me back to being there in such a visceral way. Also oops I took a lot of photos.

A whole bunch of artists and cultural workers have lost work because of the implosion of Adelaide Writers week — writers, producers, stage crew, front of house. None of this was their fault. Something for the Labor premier to think about

The thing that always gets me about this kind of stuff is like, are we seriously expecting Palestinians to remain either neutral or positive towards Israel despite it literally killing them, destroying their culture and making it unsafe to live on their own land, at risk of being forced out of...

made an absolutely fucked up good curry last night. just from a massaman curry paste tin with coconut cream and milk, but the potato just melted in your mouth. this has been cooking corner.

I will be withdrawing from two panels I was to chair at Adelaide Writers Week 2026. I stand in solidarity with Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, and other Palestinian Australian writers. I urge all writers to do the same. Watch out for statements from SA mob. www.adelaidefestival.com.au/news/2025/ad...

Being surrounded by anti-trans rhetoric can feel really draining. We have some self-care advice if opening the news is making you want to scream.

Kudos and hello to the babe walking down enmore road in their honeys arms and, seeing my partner and I walking hand in hand, lowered their sunglasses and winked at us. Incredible work.

It’s been a good week 🥰

Another dozen or so authors could request a correction like this. "In Covid's Wake" egregiously misrepresents research and ignores the scientific consensus throughout. Embarrassing that it's being praised by credible outlets.

You know what, I’m feeling marginally less flippant about this insanity now that I know I’m on a list in a dossier prepared by the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs as a “key influencer” of antisemitism. This is munted.

For your listening pleasure, a new episode of Trans Sexual podcast is out and I’m the guest! It’s flirty, fun, and covers a range of topics related to trans sex 🔥 www.transsexualpod.com/listen/2lizd...

wrote about how James Cameron used the tropes & imagery Western in the Avatar films and how his adaptation of the genre reduces it of its complexity www.avclub.com/james-camero...

Was talking with some friends the other day about the danger of gen-AI as a tool that gives the illusion that it satiates desire, and thus remaps how we imagine desire should be fulfilled.

Merry one parent tries to explain the rules of a board game to another parent to you all. Surprisingly it is not going well 😅

If you like Alien better than Aliens have you tried Estradiol?

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

i have some server space i host mine and another few sites on which i use like 0.004% of - what can one do with spare server storage that's good or fun or interesting?

We should have tree ornaments for other holiday periods.

Sitting down to some Bill Evans and playing this game I came across last night and is very fun so far! krajzeg.itch.io/solitomb

Wishing y’all a beautiful day ❤️🎄

A beautiful man. Always a privilege to hear him speak, as he often does at rallies.

I think 2026 is the year that we start paying for email and stop having all of our online communication being the product.

Standing up quickly and getting the biggest dizzy spells is fun actually, apparently other people have to buy drugs to get this rush 🤷🏻‍♀️

Posted a thing on Instagram about getting sick this year. www.instagram.com/p/DSj5YJnE6bE/

How the Grinch Stole My Catalytic Converter

Also I think this has convinced me to learn how to sew.

Was talking about resolutions last night with some friends and I've a few for the new year, but also I've been thinking I want to try and be a bit more active on here in 2026 - there's lots of lovely people online that I've been out of touch with for years. So: hi!

This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027. And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should. #climatecrisis #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/two-yea...

Congratulations to everyone who wrote an op-ed about how he just wants americans to eat better

Guess I'll post this again

Linking the march across the bridge to the massacre is disgusting and everyone doing so should be deeply ashamed of their giving tacit support for genocide www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I occasionally look cute 🌸

Today the Queensland government has ignored the overwhelming body of evidence and extended their shameless ban on puberty blockers for trans kids. If you haven't been writing, calling, and showing up to protest, now is the time to start.

i may be the first to say this but it's bloody hot out there

Halo Effect and Soldier's Heart, by someone called Alex51324. They're Downton Abbey fanfics, about Thomas the gay footman, and they're just beautiful pieces about finding your place in the world. archiveofourown.org/works/19892077 archiveofourown.org/works/21947791

every politician who attempts to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth is anti-science, transphobic, or some combination. prior to their votes, they should be forced onto cross-sex hormones so they can experience the horror they're inflicting on these kids juliaserano.medium.com/gender-affir...

i think probably the dispossessed by ursula le guin. really just excellent writing

The Corruption of Hollis Brown by K. Ancrum. I want everyone to read all her books, she writes such beautiful queer YA books that are utterly unique. Icarus is another one of my favourites.
