@andrewsimms.bsky.social speaking my language at #LYP2025: International climate negotiations don't work to get us to our climate goals because there is no technofix for 40+ billion tonnes of CO₂ emissions; we have to change our lifestyles and be reenchanted with our planet.

Heads up for Android phone users: google installed a "security" app on your phone without your knowledge or consent, Android System SafetyCore, that scans and transmits photos you've taken. This is the textbook definition of malware. Go to Settings > Apps and remove it immediately.

I have a soothing question for readers 📚 When the 3rd book in a trilogy you're reading is released do you: a) re-read the first 2 books immediately prior to reading the 3rd b) just jump straight in with the 3rd book c) wild card; it depends on the trilogy #reading #books #randomquestion

Capitalism broke many of us, and capitalism demands that we work harder and "just stop it" when we say we are disabled. Cut that shit out.

"a group of bored teenagers become vessels for evil spirits basically because it's funny" is also the most ANZ story possible, do you know how many random Kiwis know how to build an IED because their mates taught them as bored country kids

Note that it says 'prescribing puberty blockers to trans children.' This is because puberty blockers have always been prescribed for cis children with premature puberty because they are safe drugs and the reason they're banned for trans kids is not for those children's safety but out of transphobia.

I gave up reading Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky because it felt too real, and the story was aggravating my anxiety. The scientists in it who go against state sanctioned science get sent to prison worlds via a suitably nightmarish transport system.

I just noticed The Expanse is leaving Prime video this month..? The show that Bezos bought because he was a fan, and then Amazon made a few seasons of? I stopped watching somewhere in S5, but it doesn't fill me with confidence for other Amazon owned IP.

I'm not comfortable on Substack anymore, so I'm trying to set up a new newsletter through Buttondown, even though I'm afraid of leaving the (small) community I was building over there. I'm say all that because I'm testing some cross-posting things on bluesky.

If you’re looking at what’s happening in the US, seeing Musk considering making massive donations to Reform & trying to subvert our democracy, and are rightly horrified, might I recommend signing this - petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Authors are small businesses. Stop stealing from them. For those lacking book autonomy: ➡️ Borrow books from the library. ➡️ Request the library add the books you want. Once again: ❗STOP STEALING BOOKS❗
