Including disabled people in our utopian futures pushes back against a eugenicist ideal.

Time to tap the sign.

it’s true that manic consumer culture buying sprees probably point to a gnawing fear of engaging the spirit, whose demands are rigorous and whose rewards would require us to acknowledge our eternal indwelling self-worth, but on the other hand did you see how much cool stuff I have

At @shiftcardiff.bsky.social one of the first things we did post-Lockdown was try and reintroduce communal music-making, working with Chris Parfitt to create South Wales Improvisors. An antidote to ego and the pressure of careerism. shiftcardiff.org/south-wales-...

The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you. Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

PLEASE GOD.

Naomi Kritzer's informative blog posts on how to help are great (see last/pinned post). Her Hugo & Nebula award-winning novelette "The Year Without Sunshine" is a must read for the moment we're in. A fave. We take care of us. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

I've painted some Valentine's Day cards. Watercolour and biro originals, not prints, blank inside. £25 each if you want one. Purple one already claimed. Choice of envelope colour!

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. "Buckley Air Force Base is home to Space Delta 4, the missile warning unit that operates defense satellites in space as well as ground-based early warning radars around the world"

Very tasty collection just in…will be aiming to sort & price this week but there’s a lot,although judging by the first 4 singles I pulled out it’s going to be fun

New Record Collector mag (out Thursday) has a terrific ten-years-on Rob Hughes feature on the importance of Bowie and Prince. I’ve written about Reggae’s Greatest Year for LPs (that’s 1976 in case you didn’t know) and reviewed the forthcoming reissue of Talk Talk’s monumental Spirit Of Eden.

Every time I listen to the music of Sergio Mendes, I can't help thinking of this photo of him and his band with Harrison Ford in 1970, just after Ford had finished building a recording studio in Sergio's back garden. I like to think Mendes later went to see Star Wars & shouted "That's my carpenter!"

That reminds me: It's Tom Baker's birthday in two days so no need to panic if you see his name trending on Tuesday. That was a public service announcement for geeks everywhere.

“A lot of these songs are canonical as far as I’m concerned. It’s not like you wouldn’t play Mozart because you didn’t write it.” —Michael Shannon Read Premier Guitar's interview with Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy. www.premierguitar.com/reviving-r-e...

I don't suppose anyone has easy access to any fanzines that covered Blake's 7, published earlier than 1983? (Later than that is no good, and I've got all issues of the Marvel monthly.) It's for a thing.

When does the giant space-squid get dropped?

2025 streaming pyramid - only the white point and the first blue shade at the top peak above the 1,000 stream level - which means those are the only tracks Spotify accounts to for *any* royalties. 88% of streaming tracks fall below the line and earn $0 (source: Luminate and @musically.com)

If this was any other set of medical treatments, the entire medical community would be scrambling to study how they could improve their own treatments.

Yorkshire folk! The daughter of a friend's friend is making a film about the bands that played at Minsthorpe High School in the late 80s/early 90s – the likes of the Weddoes, Cud, House of Love etc. They're trying to track down the teachers who put the bands on – Mel and Trev. Anyone know them?

Ah, you know me, always diving in on the sewing details. Fabulously even hand stitches to stop the Lycra laddering after the cuts. Fraying of the ribbon, fringing where the lame was cut. Also: stripping to a Richard Thompson song. @coseyfannitutti.bsky.social @humberstgallery.bsky.social
