Many things over the past decade have done or are doing incalculable damage to the UK. Immigration is not one of them. But this spineless rush to embrace xenophobic far-right rhetoric is. I'm speechless with anger at the utter disgrace of it.

apropos of nothing but it's funny how certain folks will always try to chase the style of studio ghibli/miyazaki but only on a surface level and never tackle the themes of environmentalism, anti-war, and empathy i.e. the stuff that made those movies masterpieces

Never forget you don’t need a mandate to do the right thing. You can wear a mask and protect others. You can get boosted. You can help someone in need. You can donate to mutual aid. You can amplify voices different than your own. Caring about one another IS a form of resistance.

If you’re dealing with Long Covid - there’s a chance you’re also dealing with MCAS and/or POTS/Dysautonomia. They’re two of the most common comorbids - and can have a devastating impact on quality of life. New allergies? Alcohol intolerance? Dizziness? Fatigue? Fainting? A mega 🧵 of resources

Never going to stop shouting about this. You need to buy trans books now. Especially in hardcopy or DRM free formats. Don't say "it'll never happen." Look around. It's already happening.

I have to encounter the news but I don’t want to hear all the awful things but it’s important that I hear all the awful things but my mental health can’t handle it but I must see it and bear witness but I can’t process the levels of evil but i have to because not doing so would be self indulgent 😢😢😢

5. Speaking of libraries: USE THEM. They have ZOMG SO MANY free resources (in addition to books!) Digital learning (eg Mango, genealogy), random subscriptions, in-person classes, often "libraries of things" (tools, hotspots, etc) +THE BEST WAY TO SUPPORT LIBRARIES IS TO USE THEM. Support libraries!

Today is publication day for 'this too is a glistening' (Bitter Melon Press) by me, Pratyusha, Nina Mingya Powles & @jessicajlee.bsky.social 💜 Thanks to @jaygao.bsky.social for this amazing blurb! Last copies of our first print run are avail at bookstores & bittermelon.weebly.com/store/p13/th...

The cover of this too is a glistening on a blue-purple-pink gradient background. The cover is a cyanotype of two leaves. The cover is printed in bright pink.

These fieldnotes burst through with vivid and slow time. Gleamingly suffused with an architecture - an ecotecture - of small details, this accretion of textures and feelings meditatively render what it means to sense oneself and to sense the other in a world made different. - Jay Gao
