Skincare Reddit is a shark tank. Do not enter unless you wish to have your life ruined by such atrocities as people rating Natalie Portman as 'an 8 now but a 9 in her prime'. Bury me now.

The way AI is being forced on us is quite unhinged because it really is just popping up like a bad fart everywhere. No thanks, Word, I don’t want to use co-pilot. Please leave me alone, Meta AI. Fuck off Google and take Gemini with you.

#Thunderbolts, rather to my surprise? Really effing good. Weird, different, but genuinely surprising and, at points, desperately moving. Like... wow. Who knew #Marvel still had it in them.

Unsolicited writing advice, no: 6: The writing world is divided between people who really want to write, and those who want to be writers. To find out which one you are, visualize yourself as a writer. And if that visualization doesn't show you writing, then do yourself a favour: find another hobby.

Well after ten yrs of service, I've finally left the Labour Party. I've put up with a lot of shite from the party over the years, but if the official line of the Minister for Equalities is that my partner can be barred from a public toilet without it being discrimination, then I'm out

The German word for a greengrocer's apostrophe is Deppenapostroph, which I'd translate as "dipshit apostrophe." But Depp is such a versatile word that you could also translate it as "fool," "dork," "nincompoop" etc. In Germany Johnny Depp could therefore be known as Johnny Dork or Johnny Dipshit

A kestrel flew at my head this morning! Close enough to touch. I think it was trying to warn me away from a nest - it made the most genuinely terrifying metallic screech, which I'm sure took 10 yrs off my life. I've never been happier to be screamed at and intimidated!

Possibly the best joke I've ever made on BlueSky and no one even sent me a laughing face emoji, what is this platform coming to.

Apparently this needs saying again and again, and now more than ever: Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

If you're measuring your Parkrun time against anyone except "you from the previous week" you've missed the point of Parkrun.

Well, that's UberEats I can no longer order from now, as well as JustEat. It's bad enough when your food or groceries don't turn up, but then having various AIs laugh in your face when you ask for a refund? The kind of nonsense up with which I will not put.

Interestingly, despite being the downfall of women such as Pompeia, noted heartbreaker Julius Caesar isn't believed to have been that handsome. But he was probably intelligent, as he spoke at least 2 languages. (Yes. I know. So why is the last Pharoah of Egypt always described this way?)

Every feminist I know supports their sisters, cis and trans, and their non-binary siblings, concerned with domestic violence, public safety, equal pay, employment protection, access to healthcare, and other discrimination issues. Obsessing over who uses which loo isn't feminism. It's bigotry.

US: Hey, Ukraine? This whole war thing you have going on is inconvenient for us. How's about you surrender and give Russia everything they want? Ukraine: We are a sovereign nation with the right to self-determination! We will fight for our freedom from oppression! US: Uh, is that like a no, or...?

Long before the rise of modern #music, early cultures used natural elements to create sound. Lithophone is an #ancient stone instrument. Dating back around 30 to 40,000 years, they are among the earliest known musical instruments [kingbeststonegranite]

Pretty sickened by UK's Supreme Court 🤮 So I'm opening my submission inbox to unagented trans authors in the UK until the END OF APRIL. I'm not currently open to general subs BUT if you're a trans author writing folk horror, weird, experimental, mystery, literary/upmkt fiction, take a look below 👇
