FUCK THIS WE’RE GONNA EAT THE BEANS only kidding Neil, cuddle time only no legume chompin

Post a picture of the venue where you saw your first concert and name the band or artist. I’d probably seen local bands in Burnley but never really thought to look over to Manchester in the real, so when I got to Leeds Uni it was the start for me. The Orb Live 1993, Town and Country Club, Leeds.

Happy Saturday. This guy continues to work on his difficult second album.

Slightly diminish a band(ish): Nine Centimetre Nails (horrible feeling I did this before) Surgical Assistant (apols @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com) Don’t Rush

So, today marks 10 years since the passing of Bowie. It also marks 10 years since I put something on Twitter about it which resulted in me having to take a day off work, chase down various international media, get blocked by half of Australia, and end up the filling in a Kanye and Madonna sandwich.

This is my blood

This poster is one of the best on here and I’m so sad we’re losing her because of the appalling harassment she has been subjected to. Of course she must look after herself. And the rest of us need to do whatever we can to challenge and change this cruel, sick, dangerous, culture.

early morning (well, 1030) mammalia two crops of the same panorama, due to bsky cropping and also my annoying thumb in shot. by time i’d retaken, the south pole had gone to argue with the east riding over occupation of the Forward Fox Observation Post. repost due to alt text - settings fail?

the throughline is “I can hurt whoever I want, and no one can stop me.” that’s the central tenet of his governance. there is no choosing between the bad things. the problem is one central bad thing which manifests daily in a thousand ways

Awesome birthday / xmas present from my son Erik which arrived slightly late due to USPS… an @infinityknives.bsky.social commission of me and the Matriarch herself. I ❤️❤️❤️ this because I look buff and Jerry looks alive:-) Actually moved me to tears. Childrearing: tough work but it has its upside. x

When they talk about freedom, they have always been specifically talking about their own freedom and that of people like them, and not everyone’s liberty. Their freedom is entirely compatible with you being clubbed in the teeth by a policeman in space marine armour, and at some points depends on it.

It’s with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Ken Downie on 20/12/25. Rest In Peace brother, you will be deeply missed and never forgotten. Our condolences to Sheena and his family.

'Listen to me as I come to your neighbourhood and tell your trans siblings they are subhuman or I will use the wealth of billionaires to sue you into oblivion,' is a very late-capitalism form of free speech right.

Too much reposting as I’ve been away and too fucking busy and also the transphobic and/or racist fuckery seems constant at the moment. Anyway, as a timeline cleanse, here’s my buddy dreaming of WOMPS.

last three days have been: bathroom flood rat vomit head injury and concussion car is bricked 12 days of xmas haven’t fucking started yet, i think we’ll probably end up with the police and involuntary sectioning. still: off work, car debrickers en route, blood washed out of hair, rat flushed…

When this guidance is published (given legal standing), as it almost certainly will be, as a trans man I will not be allowed to use non-unisex public toilets. Which is almost every public toilet. Just want that to sink in, there. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Even in platforming our success - there's still more spin. We're not backing "small boat migrants." We're backing people - including people who are in desperate circumstances. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

“everyone has a novel in them" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person writes zero novels in their lifetime. Novels King, who lives in Maine & writes over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Hi Ben I'm not actually saying anything about you I'm just posting to say made you look.

I am struggling with the concept of awakeness. Need to go to the office, admittedly round the corner. But it’s 0850 and I’m still abed. And can I fit in breakfast?

work continues on that most difficult track: awakeness

I have an especial ick for her line of argument. I see it outside these issues in ”student loan forgiveness means they get a break i never got”. By this logic we’d still be in caves because nothing can ever be improved because grandad didn’t get benefit. Bodily autonomy and medical care for all! 🏳️‍⚧️🧚‍♀️

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images. The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

If I may present an alternative opinion on cloud outages: Occasional short reminders of fragility in centralization and smoke-testing of our societal systems with effectively inconsequential events, is important. There is going to be day gigaoutage culminates, due to lack of minoroutage warnings.

I do a lot of Neil and Not Dave posting because I love the girls. This guy somehow doesn’t get the same level of attention: he’s heavier, he’s less social with me (sleeps with daughter), gets tetchy when cuddled. Anyway, just to say I love my stripy eunuch too.

After 33 voting years of sitting on the fence, I’ve joined t’Green Party. Until my generation and those older die off I’m not sure we’ll get the change we need. I look at the US with the centre-right Dems, it’s hugely important that we have an alternative that isn’t just more-of-the-same capitalism.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable. A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

this is Jerry, she stayed with me for 15 years and was asleep for pretty much the last 10 years of that before upgrading to The Big Sleep. A*** heartcat and chest ornament.

Describe your cats’ personality with er one photo per cat I guess.

Urgh Neil has eaten Fenris’ 30mg Galliprant out of his food bowl during prep. Why is my black cat attempting suicide on Hallowe’en? None more goth I guess. Hospitalised for vom (if we’re lucky) and fluid support. Kind thoughts and/or dedication of your screaming sacrifices tonight to her glory pls.
