I do, but I'm not so sure about the short term. Though I am looking forward to the second season of Academy.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

This is how we should see these magnificant animals, not hauled up on a boat or in fillets on a slab. We should no more catch or kill this rare and stunning megafauna than we should trap or kill tigers or whales. Here are some more of Rupert’s photos from yesterday, with his kind permission.

There aren't many days when you can kayak off Start Point, renowned for one of Britain's most dangerous tidal races. But yesterday the stars aligned, so I bunked off work. Delighted to see Rupert Kirkwood (the Lone Kayaker) out there. He took this picture of me +1. Before you ask: yes, it's real. 🧵

This kind of stuff really shows how anti-trans sports bans and policies meant to segregate trans people really have nothing to do with "competitive advantage." All this trans girl wanted to do was run for homecoming queen. Like the students would still have to vote for her to even win!

One of my favorite things about this site is book recommendations. I have already read most of these books but I added a couple to my list. Good timing too since I just finished the Scholomance trilogy by Naomi Novik and I needed some new fiction books to offset the non-fiction books I'm reading.

When Third Way says that Dems should hold off their anti-trans strategies, you know things are changing. The organization tends to be more centrist, and they are noticing the same thing the far-right is... the Republican anti-trans campaign cycle is NOT working this year.

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

Name a TV show from before 1980.
A picture for Star Trek The Animated Series. Shows Kirk, Spock, Bones and Scotty running together across a small red circular object with the Enterprise in the background and some sort of atmosphere around the red object and stars further away. The words Star Trek The Animated Series is printed in yellow at the top over the stars.

Star Trek Corrected Captions @startrekcc.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
T'Lyn (from Lower Decks) stands with her hands behind her back. She stands in front of an inspirational poster depicting the moon and a person reaching toward it. On the poster is the quote, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." Attributes to Norman Vincent Peale. In the bottom right corner of the image is T'Lyn's caption: "Logically, if one lands among the stars when aiming for the moon then they have severely overshot. Possibly even broken the Warp 10 barrier."
