It's Beltane but I have nowhere to go while my wheels get fixed. It's fine though. I have a perfectly good fire at home, and I'm working on getting shitassed 😁

After 2 years of worsening depression, culminating pretty awfully, I've started getting my mojo back. I want to create again! I want to touch minds again! So here is the first look at my first actual set. Episode 1 of The Harmacy drops as soon as it's shot and edited. I'm doing this!

Further to this, the angel won. The title of episode 1 will be Welcome to Ecotoxicology. Lead in bairns probably won't be until we're a dozen episodes deep, when folks are comfortable with the philosophical basis of how the LOQ and the NOAEL can be the same fukken number.

Me: [is very woke like 99% of the time] Also me: "Oh whoever's been in there all this time better roll out in a fucking wheelchair, and not be a fully able person who just didn't want to shit in the able toilet where another able person might fucking smell it!" I am imperfect.

I left my razor in Tromsø. I am an arsehole. I cannot grow much more beard than this. It tops out at about a centimetre, it's not getting any less sparse than this, and it's platinum blonde. I am an arsehole because having this much bothers and vexates me.

Still on holiday, taking the morning to work on youtube scripts. I'm stuck on episode 1 because the angel on one shoulder says "focus on laying the mental infrastructure" while the demon on the other says "let's get right into lead in bairns!"

Eg er så utruleg skuffa over at dei gjorde dette. Eg kan berre takke forskingsgruppa eg var tilknytt er ikkje med med dei som signerte, altså C-labl labben og dei forskarane der. @uitnorgesarktiske.bsky.social og @uitrector.bsky.social, eg bed dokker skjerpast. Eg vil vera stolt, ikkje skuffa.

I just lost all respect for my alma mater, @uitrector.bsky.social. The Trump administration asked the University of Tromsø to pledge that it wouldn't research climate, environment, diversity or gender, and UiT agreed. This is a betrayal of the enlightenment! www.itromso.no/nyheter/i/yE...

It's getting to the point as an editor where if you receive a long, clearly-written reviewer's report before the deadline that you start to become suspicious.

Hjelpemiddelsentralen: "We're delivering your pushrim grips to your home now." (You get five minutes notice btw, because disabled people are always home) Me: "I'm at work." HMS: "Can someone let us into your home?" Me: "No, me and the wheelchair are at work." 🧵1

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Got home and crashed. Slept on my own couch and then in my own bed. Sore as hell and exhausted. Happier about being alive in the present but still grim about my future.

NYT [cont] -- Trump's "barrage of attacks on trans ppl can seem haphazard but as elements of a denationalization project they fall into place...The consistent & unrelenting message is trans ppl are a threat to the nation...The subtext is that we are not of this nation."

For all those people who think “the left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports. He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth. It's so much worse than being reported. Subscribe to support my journalism.
