I walk, and draw and write badly. My hiking journals aren’t very interesting, but they’re very me.

The BBC can do a documentary about JKR’s “views on trans rights” as long as they blur her completely throughout, like a t-shirt.

because is/ought posting is in fine form on bluesky today, a pop quiz: as someone who works in software and had what seemed to be ironclad job security only a couple of years ago, do you think I want anything in this thread to be true

In the Lancet: “Global health ethics in international collaborative research during policy transition: what can we learn from the proposed newborn hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau?” How about it being fucking racist and criminal and that people should be in the dock if it goes ahead?

Huge respect for Caroline Lucas this week, repeatedly standing up to antisemitic entryism while remaining staunchly critical of Israel and the government's failures on that front. You can see why she used to be leader

I really enjoyed Paris Police 1900 on the BBC. The Commissioner was refreshingly honest when his wife shot his arch-enemy. In a British version he might’ve been horrified and disowned her but being French he didn’t… Or maybe it would have been less Ripper Street and more SAS Rogue Heroes?

There are many good causes and there are organisations that focus and lobby on those causes. Had I wanted to focus on this issue I would have joined Your Party. I want the Green Party to focus on green issues.

Conflating Zionism with illegal Israeli expansionism is an easy mistake to make. Not all Zionists want to wipe out Palestinians. Still, I would quite like the Green Party to focus on green politics.

I have been a guest at conventions where, during the pre-con walk through, my handler has pointed out the bar and mentioned how some guests are "more fun" and "get asked back," then names only men. Because a lot of female guests aren't comfortable hanging out around alcohol with strangers.

Oh soo easy - Lost Hearts. That was one of the 70’s BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas. I was 11 when I watched it and I had nightmares for a couple of years after that and I can’t watch horror films even now. Even @gralefrit.bsky.social was too scared to rewatch it when he did a podcast on the series

The thing that gets me about these lurid anti-Zionist statements, like the one the Greens just passed, is that it is *so fucking easy* to criticise the Israeli government without engaging in that type of language.
