She is so cool

The best response to Abundance talk is a single tweet from Ruairi Wood, RIP brother.

once again i am Thinking about the people who feel like they need to give up fandom or creative interests because they have "grown up." do you think adults don't get to have fun? do you think life is fundamentally over after youth? do you think life is abt punishing yourself for the sin of existing?

I can't believe people think that using LLMs to write isn't destroying their critical thinking abilities. I'm like 5% dumber just because of spellcheck.

This is a one-night event but is viewable on a livestream (or for two weeks after the performance) and is a fundraiser for a UK trans charity.

This shift and Bezos’s cosiness with Trump is definitely a large part of why Wheel of Time got cancelled, btw

great @tedium.co piece about companies shutting down well-received, successful products because they aren't "successful enough" tedium.co/2025/05/27/a...

this 1887 painting featuring turkish women in bustles and hijab has made my day. 'women in travel' by osman hamdi bey.

why do Germans keep calling me whimsical? is this some kind of linguistic false friend? do they not realise it’s condescending?

A few Palestinian YouTube channels have stopped because they were killed. These were kids. They sang songs & loved birds, and showed us the ocean. I'll never forget Medo, a young man growing a garden in the midst of a genocide. Israel killed him; he showed the world that Palestinians are human.

my first ever YouTube video is now live! Watch here: youtu.be/TeBhJ25NUig?...

terfs have deliberately made the world a colder crueller place for everyone and in return I wish them nothing but pain and misery for the rest of their days

I was a little tipsy and started reading out a blue plaque (john snow pump) to a friend and I actually attracted a crowd of people shocked that I could read such small text so far away (they took a zoomed in picture to test me against) so I guess I don’t need my eyesight tested for the foreseeable

important pope news

This rang more clearheaded and true than many similar attempts I’ve read at analysis

You can get rid of the unwanted AI summary in your google results simply by adding the word "fucking" to your search terms

to mark trans history week, I want to showcase some of the best recent work that's been published in medieval and early modern trans studies; most of it is open access, so you can freely download and read it without access to an institutional library. 🏳️‍⚧️🧵

genuinely insane to me that stan rogers died at 33

i was initially like "nice gesture but what use is a popemobile in providing medical care in Gaza" but then i remembered it was built specifically to resist gunfire and explosives so yeah they might need this

Misogyny is terrorism & should be globally classified as such & misogynists should be classified as terrorists.

“Male loneliness” is kind of the perfect antifeminist complaint, because it articulates the moral logic of patriarchal entitlement very neatly: that men deserve women’s attention, company, devotion, sex, and care, and women should provide these to men even at the cost of their own wellbeing.

This is bad. Really, viciously bad.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Really enjoying panic world podcast

What gets me about the overwhelming proof of what Israel is doing is how brazen colonizers are on camera, yet countless Westerners continue to dismiss the testimonies of Palestinians who say what's happening when the cameras are off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLmr...

Kids these days. 🤷🏻‍♂️😉 mudbrick, mid-4th mill. BCE / concrete, mid-20th ct. CE

I love when they don’t announce the train platform until 2 mins before departure so an entire trainload of people has to bolt across kings cross. really great for disabled people and the elderly

I feel like in the past six months London drivers have become noticeably ruder and more hostile to pedestrians

the fact that I don’t own a hurdy gurdy is a human rights violation

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

Words to live by.

Oblivion is BDS. Microsoft own Bethesda and were added as a major target for providing AI support and cloud services to aid in Israels genocide. I'm just mentioning it here because I've told several people today who are extremely up on this stuff usually, so if they don't know I'm sure others don't.

If the online right decided that the value of pi was 3, the BBC would ban circles for treading on a matter of public controversy.
