A painting of me on a yellow-stone balcony, facing away. I wear a burgundy T-shirt and aqua-blue chinos. I'm looking at a parking complex in the background. The painting is, you know – very good!!!

The ruling, as I understand it, did not say that trans women cannot use women's toilets as such. It said it is lawful to exclude us. Which sucks but the difference matters. If organisations discriminate against us it's a decision they are making, not something they've been forced into.

Now seems like a good time for my regular reminder that if you support me because I seem like an 'acceptable' trans person, because I pass as cis and go to church and seem polite or whatever, but you don't support ALL my trans siblings, then you don't really support me at all.

easter sunday. thinking about how in so many of the bible passages where jesus comes back, he proves to his disciples it’s really him by showing them his scars: his hands, his side. christians often interpret this as nothing more than a proof of authenticity, or sometimes a sign of power

good friday today. personally i do not buy the idea that jesus was fated to die in order to somehow metaphysically save us from our sins. i think the true magic of reconciliation came before and after - after, because after we killed God, He still wanted to be friends with us.

maundy thursday again. typically at this time of year i type up a little sermon about Love and how beautiful love is and how radical and important it is to love one another. and i continue to think about that this year - i am always thinking about it - but this year it feels like the vibes are Off

So, to recap: the suggestion is: the UK creative industries grant open access to all their historic and future work and IP, without payment, to the brains behind a nascent industry that just tanked $1tn in a couple of hours. Sure. Seems great.

Just a heads up for peeps, if you bought a Neil Gaiman audiobook from Audible, they are allowing refunds for them with no questions asked and no matter how long ago you bought them. I don’t even have an active subscription and they gave me credits back for two titles purchased in 2020.

just saw Heretic and having a lot of thoughts about it (loved the movie, btw). honestly think there’s an essay in this - about how both religious institutions and atheist movements frequently dehumanise and devalue women of faith. if anyone wants to commission this or knows where i might pitch, hmu!

Everyone keeps saying bad politics means good art. That died in the late 90’s with skyrocketing rent. Your landlord killed it. Another reason to hate the bastard. Where’s the next great music movement? At their day job on their third coffee with a mind full of hate but no energy to create.

Ngl its time to start shunning Labour and their cheerleaders full stop; section 28 was rightly seen as an abomination that made the Tories despised among a significant number of people, if you make excuses for this then I'm going to assume you would have supported that at the time as well.
