Just wandering round the house in a grump, getting in an increasingly foul mood, before realising that increasing back and hip pain is of course the main culprit

And I can’t help thinking that’s because: A) leftist men love the airy realms of theory and are bored and annoyed by logistics that are necessary for women to participate in any numbers (e.g. childcare) B) leftist men are annoyed by the visibility of women they don’t want to fuck

Like I dunno, I keep thinking about how every time women, especially older women, start becoming *visible* in a left-of-center movement, instead of just invisibly making it run, there’s complaints that the movement is somehow now too centrist.

Criticising 'wine moms' (WHAT an Americanism) and 'knitters' for not doing protest perfectly enough is deeply misogynistic, rooted in devalutation of work perceived as traditionally feminine, and perpetuates the patriarchal systems of control that enable fascist government

Still a little mad about this. Dismissing craftivists (who are mostly women) as cringey bandwagoneers is bullshit. Not everyone is Extremely Online; communities form in person, too: PTA meetings, book club, grocery store, gas pump, daycare pickup, pharmacy, dog park, ice rink, stadium, etc etc etc

Anyway I had to do my run first thing this morning, before meds, because the Elvanse is pushing my heart rate up too high when I do it later in the day, and morning cardio sucks

It's a George Michael kind of day

For some reason Pigeon Street scared the shit out of me as a tiny. I think it was the animation style

gosh, that's clever

tbf the online safety act stuff started years ago, and is implemented by a independent regulator, not that I am defending starmer, it's just that it is worth remembering things are always more complex than they seem

*hnnngggghhh???*

Here's an interesting thing - doing some vaguely thinky but also a bit boring work for helping out with larp stuff - ordinarily I would need music on to get through this, but on meds, the music is actively diatracting me?

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

oh my fucking god I don't give a shit about what two privileged arseholes think about their uncle being friends with a massive paedo. why is this whitewashing PR 'news'

I've been on the ADHD meds about a month. This is the longest period of time that I have had a clean kitchen every day in ny entire adult life. All it took was one tiny fucking pill to get my brain working the way it's supposed to.

We need stricter punishments for misuse of the Breaking News graphic

An actual glimmer of blue on this morning's walk here in Glastonbury. I had to stand and stare for a while as didn't believe my eyes!

Spid-man Spider-man Spidest-man Look, I don't know either

Thinking of that time in 2006 when I watched the superbowl in a packed Hooters in Manhattan, for some reason

that american lad in the old ice dancing is a bit good, isn't he

I do like the ice dancing.

Yuna that is MY CHAIR we have DISCUSSED THIS AT LENGTH

spicy hot take but anyone with enough money to be paying inheritance tax should absolutely be paying inheritance tax. it does not apply to a majority of Brits

the angle of that foot on the floor will have caused no end of grief

To chappell, where there preached little Dr. Duport, of Cambridge, upon Josiah’s words, — “But I and my house, we will serve the Lord.” But though a great scholler, he made the most flat dead sermon, that ever I heard, and very long beyond his hour, which made it worse.

Maëlle the tiny satan, who is asleep on my foot as I type this <3

ok but is it too early to go to bed

I needed a banner so I figured I might as well draw all of my favorite things ☁️🏠✨

Oh my god. Please. This rain. The constant rain. Absolute despair.

Anyone can ski jump forwards. It's ski jumping backwards that really separates the men from the boys

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.

My YouTube suggested feed included this video. Made me giggle. youtu.be/66yH8RZSwUc?...

Yeah. The difference between meds / not meds is...really stark. I am irritable, frustrated, anxious, overwhelmed, and the thought of actually getting on with anything on my horrible to do list feels like wading through a poison swamp.

Having a day off my medication as it sends my heart rate too high when exercising, and I've got karate at 11. Will be interesting to have a compare and contrast now I am more used to it.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

You know what, I think I am going to stop automatically apologising for forgetting things. Not saying I won't apologise, of course, that would be rude and awful, but it's not going to be my immediate default reaction anymore.

That person who posted that dogshit 'using AI to make "art" is good actually and anti-AI opinions are ableist because of gatekeeping' opinion is claiming to be a PhD Eng Lit candidate and how fucking dare she

That time I recreated the Pokémon intro using only stock footage.

EVERYBODY CAN MAKE ART IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT

Well I was enjoying playing a game on my PC but now my back and hip has gone 🫠

thank FUCK for that
