A photographer (I’m assuming here for the Brighton Marathon) stopped me on the street saying “I HAVE to get a shot of you, you look amazing!” Which is EXACTLY what I needed to hear while I was actively thinking about how my style hasn’t felt “me” enough for a while now. Guess I got it right today!🖤

Welcome home, space badasses! ❤️ Some screen grabs I took from the NASA livestream during the last seconds before comms blackout on atmospheric re-entry to splashdown in the Pacific. (More below)

“HOUSTON WE HAVE YOU LOUD AND CLEAR” ❤️❤️❤️ 🚀 🌏 ❤️❤️❤️

This is only a lower-rez screen grab I just took from the NASA livestream on YouTube right now but WOW that’s just incredible. They’re gettin close! 25ish minutes til crew module separation, 45ish minutes til atmosphere entry. Not too long til splashdown now! 💕🚀

Absurd comparison but watching the crew pack everything in the capsule since the flyby & eclipse oddly reminded me of Monday morning at a Burn like “Ok we’ve just spent a week doing the coolest things ever, time to tear down the theme camp & get offsite!” but like of course VASTLY more impressive 🤣

Out beyond doomerism and “when things get back to normal” there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

Rolling Stone nailed it with this headline:

“A whole civilisation will die tonight.” is the absolute craziest, worst thing a sitting US President has ever said to the public. Every alarm bell in the world should be ringing at that, whether it’s just Trumpian hyperbole or no.

Overheard in the pub: “Yeah but tarantulas and dogs are completely different things” 🐕🕷️🤔🧐

Astronauts Christina Koch and Reid Wiseman taking maybe the coolest photos ever taken with an iPhone.

Well…damn. That’s just. Yeah. Wow. Visible Aurorae in the top and bottom. So cool! (Photo credits: NASA/Commander Reid Weisman aboard Integrity as it heads toward the dang Moon!!!)

Just saw someone call Trump’s Florida resort “Mara Largo”, and wow…if there isn’t a drag performer doing high-camp MAGA-face parody out there somewhere using that name already, there really should be. 😆

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

After hours of silence while they slept I suddenly heard John Legend’s ‘Green Light’ blasting from the screen I’ve had the Artemis II livestream on since it went up & was like WTF IS HAPPENING. So in a small way I feel like I got to share in the experience of being startled awake on a space mission😆

Now that Trump says Pam Bondi is getting fired over handling of the Epstein files situation, she has the opportunity to do not only one of the most incredible and impactful leaks in political history but also maybe the funniest burn-it-all-down move anyone’s ever done.

This live camera feed from the Artemis II Orion Capsule is basically gonna be my near-constant companion for the next 10 days. (Live view + mission comms without the media cut-ins / commentary that happen on the main NASA coverage stream)

T MINUS 10 WOOOO LET’S GO ARTEMIS II! 🌙 🚀 💕

Outstanding April Foolsery, well done. The underexplored venn-diagram-overlap of musical theatre nerds and Warhammer 40K nerds needs more attention! 🤣

He was probably too old fashioned for this but part of me so desperately hopes Bob Mueller set aside a whoooole lot of interesting things in a file to be released to various journalists upon the event of his passing away.

Operation Epst…sorry…*Epic* Fury is clearly going really well, ‘cause the US Govt just registered “aliens.gov”. 🤣 You know those files are so absolutely cursed if they’re going full-on “Iran war & global economic crisis isn’t distracting enough! Have Kash order Fox Mulder to release the X-Files!”🛸

Newsom rejects claim he’s throwing trans people under the bus. “I would never do that” says CA Governor & Presidential hopeful. “I’m far too committed to public transportation to risk damaging a bus like that.” Jokes aside, I can’t wait til everyone realises this guy is the emptiest of empty suits

The FIFA Peace Prize used to mean something.

Sometimes a game releases in the exact right cultural moment for it to be a wild success. And sometimes you’re EA releasing ‘The Sims: Royalty & Legacy’ during a week where *an actual Royal* made headlines worldwide by being arrested in connection to a massive global trafficking & abuse scandal.

The funniest thing that happened today was the moment we walked I guess a bit too far out along the White Cliffs of Dover and I immediately got a notification from my my mobile provider telling me I’d left England and was now in Europe so they were charging me for a mobile roaming day pass

Wanna do a theatrical mashup of Shakespeare’s ‘Henry VI’ & Richard O’Brien’s ‘Rocky Horror Show’ and call it ‘Plantagenet! Schmantagent! Jantagenet!’

I cannot explain this alignment chart but I do need you to tag yourself on it

When I get to spread a thrilling anecdote from one group chat to another I feel like a bee doing a little "there's the pollen!" dance.

Maybe I’ve been here before I’ve cleaned the pizzas off the floor I used to live in sewers ‘fore I knew you But when your dad’s a talking rat Who’s trained you for ninja combat It’s a cold and it’s a broken cowabunga

While walking around earlier I overheard a girl checking the time and saying “12:58…hit flow state! 12:59…drink…red wine!” What a legend. Shes operating on an entirely different level than the rest of us.

Just saw a Variety headline mentioning a former ‘Superman & Louis’ showrunner and that might be the best typo I’ve seen in a while. That’d be a very different show. 😆

This is extremely real (Also London Conundrum would be a great band name)

Apex predator has taken a mighty giant sloth

“What absolute bastard’s eaten crisps in the loo?” -things heard after hours at the pub

Just had a big queer dance at the pub to Harry Belafonte’s ‘Jump In The Line’ in honour of Catherine O’Hara. Farewell to an absolute legend!

‘Wonderman’ is a love letter to the art of acting and to the ups and downs of being a creative professional. It’s a true shame it’s probably going to get skipped by a lot of people who don’t care for Marvel shows/films as it’s not at all what they’d expect from that. It’s a real odd gem of a show.

Labour, wearing hot dog costumes, standing over the still-smoking ruin of a crashed hot dog car: “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this”

Bill fucking goddamn uggggh Kristol is taking a more radical stance than most of Dem leadership. I swear at this point “If only we’d negotiated harder” is going to be ironically chiseled onto a very bleak memorial one day.

I like the word "fuck" and I'm all for using it when the situation calls for it, but I also like the words "impeach" and "hold accountable." And I realize we don't have the majority necessary to impeach, but do we not say words anymore because we don't have the majority? SAY WORDS.

What could this possibly be trying to say? “I’ll be Mayor only when Hell & London both freeze over?” “A vote for Reform is a vote to guarantee climate apocalypse?” “I’ve abducted this penguin from the London Zoo & now will attempt to teach it to say racist slogans?” What’s the message here? 🐧⁉️

Yesterday, over 30,000 people protested against ICE in below-zero temperatures. Amazing work, everyone. Minnesota strong. Tomorrow, there will be more of us.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

In a stunning move of de-escalation after a long week of protests ICE has…oh wait no I’ve got that wrong they just shot *yet another person in Minneapolis* after wrestling him to the ground, in broad daylight, with witnesses.

Starmer says Trump’s remarks about NATO allies are “insulting and frankly appalling” but here let’s send more British planes and personnel to (presumably) prop up an upcoming Iran op! The US spends 60-fucktillion $/year on military. Time to say “Yeah I think you can sort this one on your own.”

1987: Let’s make a live-action ‘Masters Of The Universe’ movie, but set most of it on Earth because alien planet sets & effects are really expensive! 2026: Let’s make a live-action ‘Masters Of The Universe’ movie, but set most of it on Earth because alien planet sets & effects are really expensive!

Pray you once more, Is not your father grown incapable Of reasonable affairs? Is he not stupid With age and alt’ring rheums? Can he speak? Hear? Know man from man? Dispute his own estate? Lies he not bed-rid? And again does nothing But what he did being childish?

“Democrats obscured Biden’s cognitive decline” is really being blown out of the water by “Republicans are embracing and profiting from Trump’s cognitive decline.”

I made a helpful chart to make sense of some niche nerd-discourse microdrama brought on by the (actually quite good) ‘Fallout’ tv series depiction of a certain faction managing to…how to put this…rustle some heavily-armoured jimmies?

Watching the Greenland thing unfold really does feel like a psychotic break except instead of me breaking away from reality it's reality breaking away from me
