I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone. #unboundless

Academia in 2025: For weeks I’ve been working through botched copy-edits of my monograph, outsourced by the publisher to a company I’d never heard of, until it finally dawned on me the terrible job might be AI. A quick search confirmed the company recently launched new AI software, which now means..

I need to quit Duolingo now it’s a useless AI nightmare, but I am very annoyed that it’s basically the only habit my broken brain has ever stuck with. I feel like this was my one shot at doing something consistently.

So, @sohotheatre.bsky.social Walthamstow is my new favourite theatre. Signs on the pavement so I’m not depending on my fabulous sense of direction! (And if the Regent’s Park Open Air is on here, I won’t try to tag them but they could learn from this.) A giant mirrorball in the foyer!

I’ve realised explaining that my joke was a joke to the people publicly asking “Was that a joke?” will absolutely not help. And also if you have to ask, maybe I’m wrong about it being a joke. But I was right about never wanting to join a book club, so I shouldn’t have answered bookclubby questions

Going to see a musical about corn! (Hopefully) yay! The only slight worry is it’s at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre and I always end up wandering round the entire park trying to find the place. Wish me and my fabulous sense of direction luck!

I just want to say, due to the Iceberg Effect, scandals are not a reliably way of vetting people for racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc. Scandals just pick up who got caught. A scandal is not a reliable index. (Also, using a plagiarism machine with demonstrable biases in these areas is stupid)

It’s not the only reason, more of a final straw, but I’m definitely not going to @seattlein2025.org now. I’m not even wistfully considering it in a “Hey, if I win the Euromillions…” way.

And I don’t want to go into detail, but today work had an email from a client saying [paraphrased] “I checked mathematical / legal thing with AI and it gave me a different answer to you. Is the AI wrong or are you?” And my answer was nearly “It is wrong and I quit.”

Tried to explain this to my mother after I went to the Trans Liberation demo at the weekend. Failed. Will try again and eventually she will have the surprised Pikachu face she had when she said she didn’t know why she voted for Brexit (Narrator: she knew) and it was all a terrible idea.

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up. I’ll add more as I find them. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

FYI: PIP (Personal Independence Payments) is not an out-of-work benefit. It exists to help people pay for the extra costs that come with disability. Cutting disability benefits won’t help people who are already working, and it won’t help people back into work.
