Photograph/photogram hybrid made with a glass plate negative from my collection.

Black-and-white photo of a young white woman looking down at a short haired, gray and white cat that sits in her lap. the photo has been processed with torn cheese cloth and other fabric creating a frame around the woman that looks like swirling fabric textured ectoplasm.

If a guard yanks clothes off a trans woman–to satisfy his curiosity or to mock her–cis women are in danger too. I'm cis. I was misgendered most of my life. In public bathrooms, women screamed for cops. I was almost fag-bashed twice. Abusing any woman opens that door. We're all in this together.

I have less of an overall sense of my annual reading than I’d like, and intend to improve my self-apprehension with better logging. So I’ll keep a tally of what I finish reading or listening to from here to my next birthday, and see what emerges.

The implausible but successful way I unclogged my super slow-draining shower: 1) Plunger to loosen things up 🪠 2) Poured in can of Coke Zero to dissolve hair &c🥤 3) For 2 weeks every time I made pasta 🍝 I dumped the boiling water 🫖 into the shower at the end, to dissolve soap 🧼 It worked!

For the first time, we’re partnering with labor unions to speed up and modernize hiring for city jobs. It should be easy, fast, and fair to find a good-paying job serving the city we call home — and after 100 years, we’re due for an update.

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

Fun fact: Tesla went with a giant touchscreen instead of knobs for the Model 3 purely to save time and money. Knobs would have required spinning up a whole supply chain. The company spun it as a luxury feature and much of the industry followed suit. But it was always an inferior substitute.

It’s so funny to imagine what the UK could be like if it took seriously any of its cultural icons—that aren’t wizards, Shakespeare, or in possession of good fortune but in want of a wife. We could have Tyranid statues at Heathrow. Perhaps a grisly frieze depicting Servitor conversion at Gatwick.

It's Banned Books Week. My fellow librarians, listen carefully: your book displays should be almost exclusively writers who are alive. Yes, I know classic literature is also being banned, but most of those authors are dead. They aren't suffering financially from bans and challenges.
