Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

this cat looks like one of the Old Master painters who's just slept with three servants, argued viciously with his annoying patron about the inferior ham he receives, and then painted his masterpiece out of spite

Writers, if you ever feel bad about querying your book, and getting rejections, just remember I once put down my genre as male.

Well, it's official. We just received notice that all authors on the Sixth National Climate Assessment have just been released from their roles. The NCA is a vital, Congressionally mandated resource for our nation as we prepare for the impacts of climate change. This is a huge loss.

NCA6 Update
April 28, 2025
Dear NCA6 Participants,

Thank you for your participation in the 6th National Climate Assessment. At this time, the scope of the NCA6 is currently being reevaluated in accordance with the Global Change Research Act of 1990. We are now releasing all current assessment participants from their roles. As plans develop for the assessment, there may be future opportunities to contribute or engage.

Thank you for your service.

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.

Libraries & librarians have never been more important. If we care about the future, we must make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. And we have to give them all our support, so they can do their vital work, which benefits us ALL! #SaveLibraries

With alt text.

The image shows Elon Musk superimposed over a semi circle guage with right arm at different heights. Think of it like a clock face. In green at your side to shoulder height in stages, 6-9 o'clock labeled - 6 o'clock rest, 7 o'clock pet dog, 8 o'clock pet Marco Rubio, 9 oclock call taxi with arm gradually raising to shoulder height. The red segment, 9-11 o'clock, labeled NAZI with Musk's arm in a Nazi salute position. Last segment in green with arm raised to 12 o'clock labeled, call waiter. On he left is an image of Musk in NAZI uniform. Says NAZI STATUS CONFIRMED.

I really loved this. They nailed all the characters, the 70s vibe, the pre-teen angst… loved how they developed the mum’s story, too. 10/10

If I’m ever a professor again, I want to give a graduate seminar, topics to include: - how not to say stupid shit about fields outside your expertise - what is your expertise, anyway? - how not to be an insufferable bore - your PhD doesn’t make you a better person: coping with that Other ideas?
