trans day of visibility is weird in light of current uk state policy. it's essential on a day to day basis that I'm not noticed as trans, as this would put me at risk if I need to pee. I currently pee several times a day.

OUTSIDERS ARTS CLUB TICKETS ON SALE NOW FOR APRIL 28 outsidersartsclub.com

this was the edition of the NME awards which I felt picked such wrong choices that I, Marie, then 14 years of age, organised an alternative NME awards on my music blog, where people could vote for each category in the comments [crumbles gently into pile of embarrassed dust]

People have memory holed quite how skinny our jeans were.

three (3) work video calls simultaneously happening at the cafe currently realise this is an etiquette war that is now long lost but: urgh

delighted to say I have also written a piece about this, in which I argued that "jammy bastards" ought to be a protected category: youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/we-must-pr...

It's a good thing people aren't getting sent to prison for growing cannabis anymore, but legalization sure isn't living up to any of its other lofty promises

It takes SIXTEEN paragraphs for the New York Times to mention why the administration wanted to destroy nearly $10 million in contraception: It's because they claim the stockpile of IUDs, birth control pills, and hormonal implants are “abortifacient birth control.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/w...

I wrote about this last year!!! in so many areas of life, AI use is the symptom and not the problem: youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/the-ballad...

just slept for ten hours, good morning

The first few seconds of an Instagram cooking video is like walking into a movie theater and not knowing if you bought a ticket to Studio Ghibli or Saw

friends! countrymen! people who may wish to buy some affordable art in London in an actually fun and enjoyable environment! the next Outsiders Arts Club will be on April 28, and we're going to put the tickets on sale at 1pm tomorrow on our website: outsidersartsclub.com

so between the red eye and my day today I ended up watching Wild Wild West, The Dark Knight and Project Hail Mary in the same 24 hours, and on essentially no sleep, frankly cannot wait to see what dreams come out of that when I do end up going to bed tonight

realise talking about one's jetlag is about as interesting as talking about one's dream but it simply freaks my nut out that it's still only 3pm, somehow feel too tired to go to the cinema but also too tired to do anything else and, crucially, too tired to just stay up at home, feels overall unideal

is it good that this made me laugh out loud

we live in such godless times

tried to sleep on my overnight flight but a crying baby was followed by a child running down the corridor screaming then to the attendants loudly yapping within earshot so I gave up and watched The Dark Knight and 1) what a movie, still 2) am yet to sleep and would describe my mood as "peculiar"

Genuinely kind of disturbing how little attention has been paid to Israeli officials explicitly promising to do unto southern Lebanon what they did to Gaza

the book selection at JFK is, I believe, the worst possible book selection of any place selling books anywhere in the world, always around 50 titles to choose from in total and yet not a single one ever feels even vaguely readable, actually quite a remarkable feat

🙁

it’s on jooble dude just log in to bebee

The only responsibility I feel right now, along with many others in Germany, is to keep bookmarking moments like this, so that people here don't turn around and tell the rest of the world "we had no idea what was happening". They know. Everyone knows. At best - at best - they don't want to see it.

Seeing a million people turn out and snake through a large city is very cool, I won’t deny that but my favorite genre of post during these protests is “small town in a red state with the biggest crowd anyone has ever seen”

Social media has to be heavily regulated and voices like this are gonna have to be ignored.

had a social interaction earlier today that went poorly enough that I left it and thought "ah well, here's to hoping I'll win at my next social interaction", no I don't care to elaborate on what happened, thank you

not really the point here but what bums me out the most is that like…this guy gets a wsj profile and even if people use it to just make fun of him, it’s real estate and attention devoted to highlighting somebody producing slop instead of like somebody doing important or cool work

The good news for Platner defenders is that I actually think the “non Nazi” case has been strengthened with time, the bad news is that this is because the “instinctively contrarian asshole with no principles” case has become harder and harder to deny

delighted to announce that a friend and I did a round of the private views in Chelsea last night and found a statue that looked like a giant anus

i am hearing that they met at the Standing Normally convention

sitting on a bench in the sun in Brooklyn and on the bench next to me is a white guy as old as time itself, gently sipping on a coffee by himself while listening to James Brown's Sex Machine on his phone's speaker

as a French national I would like to make it clear that it's fine and good for us to make fun of Brits, but Americans can however put a sock in it

I actually don't hate this (sorry) but only if it means temporary exhibitions can stop being like £27 for four and a half rooms, but I'm, huh, not holding my breath

I would love New York at least 15% more if they hadn't put the demons in the heating pipes here

having some.......layered Gender thoughts about the fact that I not infrequently make myself garlicky pork mince with rice, soy sauce and sesame oil and call it "lunch slop"

my entire take on that new Harry Potter series is "I reckon I'll probably stream it from some dodgy illegal link next time I'm stuck at home with a cold for a few days" and I admire anyone who has more than that to say on the topic

jk rowling spends money she makes from harry potter on stripping rights away from me personally. this is not a hypothetical scenario. that's where it goes if you buy wizard crap.

said something extremely embarrassing at drinks earlier so anyway I ended up rolling up my turtleneck and sitting like this for a while, as penance

he's finally done it — he's achieved a level of fucking lame that i can't even come up with a joke about.

when I tell you this t-shirt I just found in a thrift store was the best six dollars I've ever spent

if you want me to believe in them so fucking badly, YOU convince ME. it hardly inspires confidence that the pitch so far has been ‘you are obligated to use a bunch of shitty and inexplicably mandatory features designed for dumb assholes or else sam altman loses money’

lmao

mistakenly picked up the wrong coffee at Starbucks then put it back down immediately but the guy whose coffee it was demanded that the barista make him a new one as I'd touched it, good afternoon from Good Vibes City, population: not that man

This headline is much more funny to anglophones . . .
