Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.

Inside you are two wolves, five sled dogs, eight Norwegian research scientists, Bennings, Norris, Palmer, Windows, Fuchs, Nauls, Blair, Garry, and Doc Copper.

I’m doing a talk at Button, a content design conference, where I’m going to talk about the high cost of tooling in the work we do. I’ve made a survey so I can capture some numbers. If you work in content/design/adjacent (yes, ESPECIALLY if you’re unemployed) this is for you (and thanks!)

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.

I wrote part 2 of the journey to a self-hosted music setup. It's pretty much there, I'm really happy with where I've ended up: polytechnic.co.uk/blog/extract...

POV: you’re flicking through the dusty pages of your vintage kids’ comics that went on to inspire full movies decades later 😉

Nerdy joke warning. 😁 I've been planning this since I first saw the Newton for Hyde sign.

Insomnia 🕺🏻

I do not say this lightly: better than the legendary Star Guitar vid

Just booked all the tickets for my local indie cinema @uppcinema.bsky.social’s classic samurai season. Harakiri, Ran, The Sword of Doom, and Ghost Dog. August is going to be a good month. uppcinema.com/show_type/cl...

I don’t think I have enough followers to get past the first couple, but @amyhupe.bsky.social did it, and Amy is awesome, so let’s see what happens. 25 is going to be a bastard.

Why can’t all phone calls begin with handshake data like dial-up modems? Who is this? How fast can you talk? How will I know what you have said is accurate after you say it?

If you’re looking for some excellent new comic reads, this is a bargain, and supports a good cause www.humblebundle.com/books/return...

Whoa. That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today. With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.

For some reason I look like I’m avoiding an incoming asteroid. Asteroid aside, what an excellent day.

In moments of crisis, people need more than just Internet access—they need resilient, rights-based digital infrastructure, writes Saadia Azim in her latest Pulse Blog post pulse.internetsociety.org/blog/why-the...

Goodbye Bristol, you were fabulous as always, see you soon.

I drew a Jedi Porg, so I figured, better balance it out with a Sith Porg. so here it is, haha. #porg #starwars #thelastjedi #sith #jedi #disney

Hello Bristol. It’s good to be back. Bit toasty though.

If Hannah Cohen's "Earthstar Mountain" isn't in my top 10 for the year I'll be very surprised. An excellent summer listen. #music hannahcohen.bandcamp.com/album/earths...

We chat with YWMP organiser Zahra Haji Fath Ali Tehrani as the community music group moves into its new home and starts raising funds to make the Nest a hub of creativity for young people: www.dailyinfo.co.uk/blog/21348/q...

So, again, from my perspective as a person who works in tech, maybe more than with my research hat on: even within the structures of this financialized world, there are definitions all around us of what “better” looks like that account for stability, continuity, and feasibility/need over hype.

He looks like a cormorant about to be cleaned by RSPB volunteers.

ICYMI: Some wonderful members of the Discworld family popped up in our “Gender on the Discworld episode” to share the love for our trans community (and get us a bit weepy): youtu.be/d5RJou166jM?...

What do you get if you use two broom heads and a few Stormtrooper figures? A miniature scene from Andor of course! All shot practically using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. #andor #starwars #miniaturephotography #photography

On 8 May I will be introducing a screening of THE GREAT DICTATOR at the @uppcinema.bsky.social as part of the ANTIFA ON SCREEN season. See you there. uppcinema.com/show/the-gre...

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

Hello Leeds, lovely to be back. I don’t think I’ve ever had to pack sunscreen for @heypresents.com before.

Really looking forward to this. It’s an excellent day.

@heathercorinna.bsky.social Happy birthday! I hope you’re indulging in all the good things x

Trans rights and trans liberation now. Anyone with a heart or a soul is sick of this evil shit and how it's taken over the UK - not to mention it's the tip of the spear, as we've been warned by our trans siblings so many times. No forgiveness or pity for transphobes, in government or outside of it.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass. Philip K. Dickens
