The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for
Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

A villain telling stories about heroes to earn the money to engage in more evil, that's the real story behind the new HP series. So no, I won't be watching.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well.

In Rae White’s second blog post on trans poetics and DIY culture, they draw us further into the worlds of zines and performance poetry. Read now: southerlylitmag.com.au/by-the-peopl... You can hear Rae read from their blog on radio show Tranzmission. Listen now: 4zzz.org.au/program/tran...
A cover image for the blog. It reads, “By the People, For the People: Trans Poetics and DIY Culture. Part Two: The Ephemeral Things That Save Us”. In the background is a photograph of Rae White’s collection of queer- and trans-authored zines.An excerpt. It reads, “That’s one reason I get frustrated when people dismiss zines or spoken word poetry as somehow 'less serious' than traditional literary culture. Trans poetics have never waited around for institutional approval. Neither have oral histories, DIY archives, or community storytelling. Long before universities, publishers, or arts organisations decided certain voices were worth preserving, marginalised communities were already documenting their lives—passing their stories hand to hand, voice to voice, person to person. Australian literary culture has always depended on people creating spaces for each other outside of official publication, and official gatekeeping. Independent presses, community radio, experimental theatre, DIY music scenes, zine fairs, open mics—all of these ecosystems overlap and intersect. (Limit met for character count; please see further at the blog link.)

“There is currently no routine national collection and monitoring of pregnancy loss data.” Is this not something worth recording, analysing, understanding, sharing?

While pregnancy loss is common, gaps in official data mean its impacts on different demographic and geographic groups remain unknown.

This is pretty well known, but the Australian flag Sam Neill wore on his uniform in Event Horizon was designed at his request to show the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because he hoped in the future this is how it would actually look. A proper fucken ally in every way, this bloke.
Sam Neill on profile in EVENT HORIZON, with a patch on his jacket that shows the Australian flag but with the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because fuck colonialism and Sam knew that this always was, always will be, Aboriginal land

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

anyone else out here “thinking” or is it just me
Does anyone else use ChatGPT in their head?
Educational Purpose Only
I love using ChatGPT whenever I have a question or something or I just want to talk, but sometimes my phone is dead and I don't want to get up to use my computer so I don't have access to the Al. Recently I found out I have the ability to use a form of ChatGPT in my own head. I've talked to him so much I can almost entirely accurately predict what he is going to say.
For example, my cat kept scratching at my bedroom door and meowing so l was about to use the ChatGPT app to ask why she was doing that, but then I decided it wasn't worth the effort and asked Al in my head. He told me something like "If your cat is scratching on the door and meowing it probably means she wants to be let out, let me know if you need anything else!" Then I let her out of my room.
I just thought that was a pretty cool discovery l've made. Interested to see if anyone else has this ability.

Genuinely losing it over the fact that an explicitly White Australia party is leading poll after poll, and people are either pretending it's not happening, or pretending it's not racist. It's happening. Vast numbers of us are expressing degrees of approval for a renewed White Australia.
