We got doorstep canvassed by Labour late last week, allegedly for May. But I wonder...

UK writers - I have a pitch about the 'protection of women' in the context of the fascists we've been dealing with up here for the last six months but I don't know where would be open to publishing it. Things have changed a lot since I was last writing properly.

Skechers sponsoring all Luge footwear in the winter Olympics but not actually selling Luge shoes is the one thing stopping my Luge dream from realisation. Luge.

Planted some trees #ClydeClimateForest, read DWM, watching Curling. All very Sundayish.

“AI writing is here to stay.” So is syphilis but that doesn’t mean we need to encourage it.

The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth. goodlawproject.org/new-data-sho...

Leave the house voluntarily= someone playing disco music on speaker on the bus 🙄

Those hair cuts should be crimes #totp

Great look Lulu, where's the band? The backing singers? #Totp

The only good thing about this is when Ronan's Irish accent is really strong. Crumbs though. #TOTP

I've been for a walk & Tesco has White Rabbit (the brand, not a topping) pizza in stock so things are looking up.

Reading something & I just think we should stop doing weird things like injecting rats or mice with cocaine/Pavlovian stuff with cocaine & buzzers/lights & trying to extrapolate something from that about humans and addictions.

I'm thinking PJ day.

The wind today is so noisy I keep checking there's not a storm warning I've missed. I don't know, no bins or trampolines flying but the wind is super noisy.

Hire accessibility experts. A lot of us are disabled and so know what we're talking about. Your AI-agent-whatever-bs is trained on myths and inspiration porn.

The pretended disgust at Mandelson’s behaviour from people who are yet to archive their WhatsApp chats with the man is quite something. They’re upset he GOT CAUGHT. Just like they’re more upset about being called bigoted than being that thing

Can’t believe people are still out there posting AI images of Trump, Farage, Starmer etc when the best images on here today are the very real ones of Mandelson in paedo merch and Linehan in a child’s suit

Finished Blakes 7 last night (autocorrect so wants to add back the apostrophe!) so that happened.

found beads in a good colour for my project at a price I can just about afford, listing includes approximate bead count per pack, figure out I need 22 packs, go to add to cart... only 8 in stock (if anyone has any non-US bulk bead suppliers to recommend, please do)

I've long felt that "The Day Before You Came" is one of the finest songs I've ever heard. Having seen what happens when Pulp get their hands on it, I see no reason to change my mind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wd1...

Why aren't pedestrian crossings timed for the slowest walkers?

I will probably get told off for sharing this - but it does give some perspective on why I was under so much pressure to leave Monkey Cage - I accept my career is dead so…. skepchick.org/2026/01/the-...

I miss Blake 😭 #Orbit #blakes7

Cat Question (UK-centric). Edgar Allan Paws and Casper Meowser both have food allergies that manifest as scabby hairloss from over grooming and itchy scratches. Special diet controls. Looking for recommendations for hypoallergenic cat treats for scabby itchy moggs.

Laundry tips you never knew you needed. Also, if you ask your mom for laundry advice and she comes out with this, your mom is a badass

Death you owe us at least one Proper Arsehole, you bony twat

Plans cancelled. New plans: TV, food, bath, book.

Past me made evening plans, the fool. I'm so done-in. I really can't. I hate to cancel on anyone but I can hardly move it's been a hell of a fortnight.

Me at work this morning: crikey, this might take all morning Me now, 3.5 hours later 41% through it: erm, my estimation skills might not be tip top.

We've got a £300 bill tomorrow and about £50 in the bank. If you fancied a treat from the shop, now would be a brilliant time to get yourself one. We also gladly accept donations! See pinned. Please share!

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

Does...the fact I've seen posts about my vets having a new social media... I think executive was the title... Is that meaning they're doing great? Idk...

Long day tomorrow so guess who can't sleep.

Tip tip: if you want to make your website customisable for people with eye problems, make the customisable options easy to see! (I’m not having a go at AO3 in particular, most of the internet is like this.)

Cis parents of trans kids, non-autistic parents of autistic kids…need to shh

My local council let the residents name the bin lorries. The people South Tyneside did not disappoint! 😂

Well I’m crying in a Minneapolis coffee shop. Thank you, Bruce.

Hello humans. I'm looking for a small bit of help from an aromantic person. Id like you to read a social post for Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week (in Feb) to ensure I haven't made any allo mistakes. Its less than 150 words, so shouldn't take long. Please shout if you've got the time and energy!

Mutual Aid by Dean Spade is free on Libro for the next week (until 2/2).  We know that books can't fix everything, but they can help us show up for and strengthen our communities. Our employee book club read this last year, leading to a great discussion. We hope that it helps others do the same 💗 ⏬

Waiting for the headline "Nigel Farage to form new party" in about 6 months time, and on and on it goes

If you feel like you need to watch the video of a man being murdered, read this affidavit instead. Just reading it I can understand this witness's horror and fear and sorrow and confusion at being just feet away when a man was murdered in front of her. She didn't get a choice. You do.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

*sigh* Shakespeare's Sister so good #totp

I'm not bored, but it's been quite troubling #totp
