mom, the UK is trying to normalise transphobia and anti-immigration and other forms of bigoted rhetoric by saying it’s necessary to defeat Reform again, please pick me up

Watched this with @lhardingwrites.bsky.social last night, a good time if you fancy a bit of zero-budget nonsense. (I endorse zero-budget nonsense.)

There is a lot to like about Burnham's speech, and his vision for the UK. However, the same people forgotten in this vision are the same people that Starmer's Labour discarded. And that shouldn't be lost on us. 🧵

If a politician crying on a stage in a speech he would have planned meticulously is all you need to jump back on board the Labour train, you were never really off it and care more about performative politics than actual cruelty.

The ‘sensible adults’ are gonna tell us all to shut up and accept our own continued marginalisation because wanting anything else would be ‘childish’. Fucking spineless cowards.

Titania Moonrock and Bazletazle the Mighty Teeny are currently available at my shop. I designed and hand-sewed them, and I hand-embroidered all their stars and planets. Titania is a relaxed sort of cosmic entity. She meditates and goes with the flow of the universe. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of Titania and Bazletazle. Titania is a fabric art black cosmic spirit with a gray moon face, twinkly black eyes, and a little frown. Her body is covered with embroidered stars of various sizes and colors. I also embroidered a couple planets. One is yellow and one is purple with a red ring. She has black twirly head wispy embroidered with a line of white stars on each one. Bazletazle is a tiny black celestial spirit with a gray moon face and four black bulbous eyes. He's covered with stars of various colors. The background of the pic is green fur.

Here's another lovely photo of their backs. Their backs are covered with embroidered stars of various colors and shapes.

Here's another lovely photo where Titania is resting on my palm. Bazletazle is resting beside her.

Cook and eat with others for the pleasure of companionship and the taste of food. Look out the window for the sake of it. Put the phone away on the bus to work and watch people. Make a drawing in your notebook. Read something new. Life is for living, can't optimize out of death

Sometimes I worry that a vibes-based placeholder title for story notes will stick but in this case I don't think "Transgender Pie Chase" will so I'm safe to use it. I think.

This is a good critique of The Starving Saints, and another (very me) criticism I had was that for me it ended up lacking imagination and ended up being Just Another Wicked Fey Story.

It’s weird to me when people are like, “I’ll use AI for book covers or research or videos but not my *writing*!” Like, the fact that you’re making that distinction at all shows that you do actually understand why AI is bad.

Only one left! Easily the most DIY of the zines on the table (home-printed, hand-sewn) but I think that's the charm.

A copy of Endless Otherwheres (a hand-sewn paper booklet) on a blue table with other zines/comics.

Box reliqaries are classic but Eustace has a bust reliquary so I have some bias there. Can't beat a full articulated Catacomb Saint skeleton though.

Apropos of nothing (*folk metal on my music shuffle), I once again wonder how much epic legend was meant to be funny. Like, I will never not find Cu Chulainn placing a geas on his son never to reveal his name, then killing a snippy little upstart who won't tell him his name (his son), hilarious.

will say it again: the most effective way to curb far right agitators like Lowe, "Tommo" et. al. would be to stop their ability to earn money for it from social media or live streaming. So much of it is grifting for revenue, not attention.

Three times in three weeks, the Guardian opinion column has decided that the funniest thing it can come up with is depicting a fascist cis male leader (Farage x 2, Trump x 1) in drag: as a sex worker in Farage's case; as a beauty pageant queen in Trump's. This is rank transmisogyny & whorephobia.

It is now apparently a vital part of Vesper's morning routine that, after her breakfast, she needs me to accompany her to the cat tree by the window and fuss her while she settles down to watch her show.

Bizarre things that happened in your assembly: Head of Year gave a long, rambling speech about the Forth Road Bridge being constantly repainted. He was going for a metaphor of self-renewal being constant, but actually went with telling us we had to constantly strip ourselves.

A lot of radical Boomers died because they were poor. What was left were those who could afford to live well into their 80s. And I don't know if you know this, but rich people tend to be fucking evil. Lots of millennials and gen z are very conservative and it has nothing to do with our age.

Film Time! Revisited Jan Švankmajer's typically bizarro celebration of private erotic rituals and outsider art, Conspirators of Pleasure (1996). The most tactile film you ever did see, Surrealist fetish ASMR. Luis Buñuel, Max Ernst, Sade and Sigmund Freud thanked in the end credits. A delight..!
