Guy wearing a hi-vis vest utterly lost in a field of flowering rapeseed.

New essay: REJECT TRANS DOOM-POSTING. It's about grief, loss, institutional failures, and the horror of the current moment. It's also a love letter to trans community, and the things we do with and for one another.

Ten $50 donations will help bring over a decade of struggle and hard work to a happy outcome. Let’s make it happen this week together!

Almost Home - this month’s riso print to ring in the fall. Not sure how to describe it, but this time of year always feels like I’m almost “home” so I wanted to come up with something that touches on that feeling a little

Fair play to Sadiq Khan. To live rent-free inside the head of the president of the USA is a massive achievement for any Mayor of London.

"People weren't autistic in my day," says Dad over his trainset, circling a scale model of 1 district of Naples that he has been to every year since 1973

I haven't seen too many flags or racist nonsense in my area (though I'm mostly at home and in the woods, tbf) but I did just have to pull down a handwritten 'starmer is a traitor' sign in the car park, put there by someone with presumably opposite reasons for disliking him to mine. Cool, fun.

if you really want to stick it to Disney, and other corporate media giants, become fascinated by things they would never produce, so that they might fade into the background noise of life.

‘UK respondents dramatically overestimate how many immigrants there are and how many of them are Muslim. They overestimate what proportion of immigrants are from north Africa by a factor of 10, and from the Middle East by a factor of two, and underestimate how many are from North America.’

A bit of character concept work for the second Gwelf book. Work continues on book 3. More soon.

I really didn't expect Honey Don't! (2025) to be SUCH a dud. What a nothing film.

Mushrooms in the woods.

15,700+ users ahead of me in the LFF queue, rip my life.

A fabulous looking new book from Tonicha Upham exploring all the Arabic and Persian evidence on Rus burials and sacrifices, complete with translations! #medievalsky #vikings www.cambridge.org/core/element...

When the planes now play an automated warning about devices getting too hot, they are talking about my Google Pixel 6A! 😙

My delayed inbound flight has been on the tarmac maybe 15 minutes and easyJet are already chucking people on board, full respect.

The "what views, motherfucker" goose in that meme must be exhausted.

I've been away for a really good week with friends, currently sitting in the airport awaiting my return flight, I wonder how things are going back home—

Silksong: Ready for a challenge? Me: Hell yeah, bring it on. Let me fight a giant boss with a thousand wriggling legs. I’ll battle an arena full of laser beetles. Do your worst Silksong: Jump diagonally onto this flower

standing with glinner? no. i'm SITTING for DINNER. with my wife, who has not left me,

happy Silksong day to those who celebrate! 3pm BST

Apparently we’re now making rabies great again. Having lived for a decade where contracting rabies was an actual daily concern, I can tell you it’s a terrifying disease from which, once symptomatic, there is no cure. Seeing lots of screenshots, so tracked down the actual story link:

Every time I see this video it makes me laugh.

Power lines give pigeons so many opportunities to sidestep up to one another and attempt (and often fail) to court. Better luck next time, damp wood pigeon.

Zack Polanski in his first speech as Green Party leader: "My message to Labour is very clear. We are not here to be disappointed by you. We are not here to be concerned by you. We're here to replace you."

Question to Zach Polanski at the leadership announcement: "Q: How can you take on Nigel Farage when your policy on immigration is so different?" Everything wrong with British politics and media summed up so succinctly in a single absolutely unhinged question.

Newly elected Green Party leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked, would he ever work with Keir Starmer?

?????

No, Acrobat, I don’t want you to summarise this gas boiler instruction manual. It might be safer if I just bit the bullet and read it the old-fashioned way.

Very nice explainer from twitter user normelpeople on what's happening in Indonesia this week and how people are feeling

Incredibly touched by a gift from a generous donor who has gotten us off to a strong start. Please help if you can! The time is short, and your donation will have an impact for years to come.

When Labour in the future say you have to vote for them to stop Reform – remember there are countless reasons that argument is equal parts absurd and offensive. But 26th August 2025 should stand out for their complete capitulation to the right. Absolutely shameful.

that awful baby in Mad Mission III / Aces Go Places III: Our Man from Bond Street (1984)

"The fact that Anas Al-Sharif’s work won a Pulitzer Prize for #reuters did not compel them to come to his defence" when Israel had him on a hit list - then they published israel's lie about him. They (and undoubtedly Israel) knew the guy was not a Hamas operative, but a #journalist #anasalsharif

It is always 2025 in our house because that’s the last year Japan post would ship Hobonichi planners to the USA

I picked the right time to replay Celeste. The mental illness mountain hits just right. Also, the music, 10/10.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

SILKSONG!!!!

Unsurprised, but disappointed, to see that Newnham College's JRFs are being defined as explicitly trans-exclusionary: newn.cam.ac.uk/research/res...

Day in, day out, I speak to ordinary people who are organising to welcome the asylum seekers accommodated in their towns. They befriend, support them, reach out to them as fellow human beings. That's the Britain I know, the one I see around me & we never get told about on TV.

I was googling whether you can pop out of the Ephesus site for lunch and then get back in on the same ticket in the afternoon, and the AI told me it was possible to return because St Paul visited multiple times...
