Protest Musk’s inept takeover of our government Berkeley Tesla this Saturday, 2-22, at noon. #muskisadomesticterrorist #muskisstealingyourdata actionnetwork.org/events/berke...

An important point to keep in mind.

"Men's suits are boring". OH ARE THEY??? BAFTA David Tennant my beloved

They had their own wall! A little Bafta wall!

Totally not stopping in the forest on a snowy Sunday, but plunging right through! After a blizzard Saturday came a day with bright blue skies, dazzling sun and cheekpinching cold temperatures. Perfect for admiring the silver sprinkles of crystals in the air and floofy white hats of tiny fir trees.

After collecting new reading glasses, I visited the library, the tea shop and the bookshop to gather supplies in the sudden snowfall. Now, I'm all set for a day of indoor reading! #AnnLeckie #TomGauld #MaureenJohnson #TanithLee

Congratulations to rightwing anti-vax forces: you've reintroduced a deadly, vaccine preventable disease back into American society.

Happy Valentine's Day! (or Happy Silly People Day or Happy Gallivanting Day, however you like it!)Please have some pretty faces to go with that:

When the metaphor SCREAMS at you to wake the fuck up

I went to see #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld at my first IMAX theatre. Charismatic actors save a story as blurryedged as the IMAX picture focus. I sat next to a girl half my age in a stoic wait for the postcredit scene thinking Marvel are lucky to have actors like #AnthonyMackie and patient fans.

Called and told my senators about how, when my mother’s identity got stolen, the CFPB’s intervention was the only thing that got the banks to shut down the accounts that had been illegally opened in her name

To those who did not believe that I saw a Lawrence of Arabia Good Luck Babe edit on twitter, here it is. It was made by @xenomorph247

Friends, may I point you at these #ebook bundles? We could use some sales just now. 🙂 And if you’re not interested, might I ask you to reskeet this so that others who might be interested can see? Thanks! ❤️ www.tumblr.com/dduane/77511... #ebooksky #booksky

Check out the new #Thunderbolts trailer that premiered during the SuperBowl 2025 #Marvel #FilmSky youtu.be/W_u-w_I6H2o?...

this is the kind of stuff that makes the dismantling of government arts funding so scary: the private donors you’d try and rely on to fill those gaps are doing the same bigoted shit

Artist Janet Echelman creates largescale soft fiber sculptures which are suspended over particular outdoor sites #WomensArt

We saw an exhibition of Gunnel Wåhlstrand's: a painter who paints with layers of tiny brushstrokes with ink and water, to recreate photos from her parents album. The paintings are huge, eerily detailed and look like photographs from afar.

We visited the castle of Prince Eugene, the "painter prince" from the turn of the last century, who both painted and collected art. The beautiful groundfloor rooms were filled with blooming amaryllis and classic favourites like "The castle" and "Strömkarlen" (aka human Kelpie)

Marie Curie is known as the first woman to win a Nobel, still the only scientist to win two Nobels in different sciences. Unbeknownst to most, she was also a humanitarian hero who saved myriad lives driving her X-ray ambulances with her Nobel laureate daughter

As someone who's worked on Guantanamo cases, this is deeply concerning. It's a tough place to even get legal access, with big hurdles and delays involved, and usually cleared counsel needed for any kind of direct access.

Exceptionally creepy clown doll for @pineylonesome.bsky.social from Saturday's museum excursion! (More palatable finds to follow for you art fiends.)

I spent the day with a friend I haven't seen in a very long time, walking, talking, having coffee, visiting a couple of museums. I felt my mind and heart opening up, after these suffocating months. The grey, cold day, the sterile frozen trees didn't matter. I felt life unfurling inside me.

A modest proposal: (Maybe Canada and Mexico can share custody? I'm sure Denmark is really only intermittently interested.)

Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate. (They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase). 1) Go to your account page 2) Hit cancel 3) Change sub back.

Vetting? That's cute. Not one of these chuds was vetted.

Wtf is going on?? A coup d'etat in front of God and everybody?

Old Fox was trying to persuade Wolf to come out of the wardrobe, where he'd been hiding since listening to the news early that morning. I'm never coming out, shouted Wolf. Old Fox sighed & sat down on the carpet. He really didn't blame Wolf, it was all so very exhausting.

When I’m on deadline and too tired to look up what something is called and just keep writing through it.
