BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Israel has killed approximately 200 journalists in Gaza in just 22 months, which is more than the combined number of journalists killed during WWII and the entirety of the Vietnam War.

My toxic trait is despite knowing it’ll be a financial death trap I’ll never not be tempted to buy an abandoned akiya

Today I booked in my first round of the HPV vaccine (via a private pharmacy - £185) and also completed the free NHS-provided postal STI testing kit. Bit grim, those lancets, and I couldn't quite fill up the tube with blood (drink water!! I guess) but it's DONE. 💪

Think a lot about a guy I know who went to Cardiff museum on acid, it got a bit much but he managed to find a quiet dark room, then suddenly the lights went up, a giant turtle hanging from the ceiling filled the room, and a booming voice started a monologue with "YOU KILLED ME"

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

I rarely get to see my flag (labrys) out in the wild, so this is really thoughtful and exciting for me.

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

Yesterday, I uploaded the ISO image of one of the rarest videogames known to exist, of which a single copy is known to exist in the online world. After years of appeals, its owner finally agreed to share it with me so that I could in turn share it with the world.

This is also true of translation! If you like something someone has translated, please say so Don't worry, there will always be someone out there who's already mused about what's been "lost in translation", you can feel free to say something, anything else

There was always something a bit magical about the Pilgrimage of Tripitaka being inaccessible, a sort of meta-commentary on the disappearance of early Buddhist canonic works. But there's also something great about it being accessible at last!

After a long search, uncertain that it even existed, I finally located the CD-ROM TRIPITAKA 玄奘三蔵求法の旅, the elusive sequel to the legendary Cosmology of Kyoto. Here is the ISO for your emulational pleasure. archive.org/details/trip...
