yes the additional labour of access building is completely tiresome and often take us away from our jobs and social lives.

On such a grey day here in London, it’s good to find @tomshakespeare.bsky.social hanging at the portrait gallery!

The fabulous Louise Hickman doing amazing work - (much else on Ai is boring, but this! Fabuloussssss)

In case you need it, here is Freya looking triumphant after she ate a spider that crawled out of my Bikini Kill tote bag

Who benefited the most from affirmative action and DEI programs? White women. www.forbes.com/sites/michel...

One day after the White House environmental justice website went dark, please join me in welcoming the father of environmental justice to Bluesky. Yes, sociologist @drrobertbullard.bsky.social literally defined the concept in his 1990 book, Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class and Environmental Quality.

Dear AI please remix new versions of Die Hard. Come tomorrow i will be all out. 🤩

About 1 million people in UK yet to obtain eVisa days before deadline

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

the pizza was frocking lush

I don't know the context of these remarks but perhaps it is worth putting up some posters round Whitehall that say, "Beware magic beans and all who sell them."

I am really excited that we will have pizzzaaaa it’s been toooooo longgggggg

Goodbye 2024 👋🏽 Before we log off for the holidays, we want to reflect on this past year. We shared lots of new findings, held many gatherings and worked with some great people and orgs! Thank you to everyone who made Careful Trouble this year. www.careful.industries/blog/2024-12...

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

This actually relates to the previous government, and it also says Ofwat were culpable. Shockingly poor headline. - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

i have forgotten how to use this machine… cats and chocs all the way to new year.

the so called ‘devil’ sweeties that must be hidden from me…

i like that moment when you realise that there are so many chocolates in the box you can eat lots and no one will be any the wiser. Note to self this is a rapidly diminishing return.

Carrboro is the first community in North Carolina so far to take legal action against a major corporate climate polluter, & the first to do so following Hurricane Helene. Comes on the heels of new lawsuits last week from Maine & a Kansas county www.climateinthecourts.com/carrboro-nc-...

my world feels very queer today and that’s a beautiful thing.

Cue the 2009/10 students protest and the organisers of the really free school movement. I held a couple of classes on critical disability studies in a pub behind oxford street. There was a great turn out.

It’s my grandmother’s birthday today, not sure how old she would have been but i enjoyed waking up dreaming of the delicious breakfast rolls she used to make. And the jam, made with raspberries picked by us from her garden. Oooo.
