We Are All Palestine Action. And louder, for those at the back: WE ARE ALL PALESTINE ACTION!! Whatever they attempt to legislate, we will defend dissent, protect the right to protest, and fight for people over profit: we will not be silenced, we will be ungovernable.

I've recently lost my writing groove because publishing is ✨stressful✨ and the world is going to shit, but tomorrow I'm going to try to find it again by doing the only thing I can do: putting my bum in the chair and opening my laptop.

Spotify is gash, and I'd been putting off finding an alternative, but I finally downloaded Tidal today. I moved over my playlists for a one-off fee (£4ish), only a few songs were missing, and I couldn't be happier.

This is very helpful and enlightening. Note that the EHRC have now explicitly said that they will accept consultation submissions questioning /challenging their interpretation of the Supreme Court ruling.

The solstice brought some wild dreams, but my favourite was probably the one where I killed a bad man and a whole bunch of women were doing their darndest to help me get away with it. Women ❤️

My Kobo has been having some issues, so it is with a heavy heart that I return to my old Kindle for the time being. I shan't be buying any ebooks via Amazon though.

Very common take right now but will companies stop forcing AI down our fucking throats?? AI chat assistants that can't answer the question, AI in our emails suggesting terrible responses, articles written by AI that give shit advice. We really are in the worst of times.

Rounding off today with Fear Street: Prom Queen. I don't know what everyone's been complaining about; it's fun, camp, and has a banging soundtrack.
