When not working I strum my guitar, and fondle my synth. And then shoot a roll of film on a cheap vintage camera. Stupid curly hair. Books are great.

Honestly climate change scares the heck out of me and it makes me so sad to see what we're losing because of it.

@AstroKatie Maybe you should learn some actual SCIENCE then, and stop listening to the criminals pushing the #GlobalWarming SCAM!

Katie Mack @AstroKatie
@gary4205 | dunno, man, I already went and got a PhD in astrophysics.
Seems like more than that would be overkill at this point.

The first rule of establishment club is you don’t talk about being part of the establishment. Instead you use your platform as an establishment mouthpiece to attack everyone else for being the establishment.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

Please stop claiming Nigel Farage is the victim of a witch hunt. It’s an insult to witches, who have clear ethical values and are generally much more attractive than Farage.

1/8 The UK energy headlines are about to get loud again. Before that happens, here’s a simple explanation of how the systems actually work, that I created for my students a while ago and have updated to 2026. It explains why the risk is often misunderstood. #UK #Energy #EnergySecurity

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Oil tankers on fire in the Strait of Hormuz. I've watched morons and sociopaths plunge the world into senseless wars. All those moments will be lost in time, like Donald Trump's few remaining brain cells shutting down. Fuck these idiots. Time to live.

Britain is one of the best places in recorded history to be born, live, work and grow old. Lots of room for improvement obviously but combat the pessimism, it’s the forerunner of fascism.

According to MAGA, Lee Harvey Oswald was in fear for his life because JFK weaponised his car by sitting in it and being driven through Dallas, and that's why he shot him in the head.

AI tech bros promising to allow you to talk to a digital simulacrum of your dead relatives as a false comfort during your natural process of grief are, I’m afraid, in contravention of the 1736 Witchcraft Act, the 1951 Fraudulent Mediums Act, and should be hanged. I don’t make the rules.

Currently reading 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell' for the first time. I'm enjoying it, but it's a bit slow. Is there a law that says fantasy books have to be a thousand pages long?

I saw a new picture framing shop in the town centre a couple of days ago, and now I can't remember where it is. It's a small town centre, but I have no idea where this shop *could* be. Maybe it's a magical shop that appears and disappears.

Latest and last - for now -artwork from @mooseallain.bsky.social the long tailed tits with intense yellow background. They really brighten the room! Might swap the townsfolk about yet, and yes one is wonky. (The one at far right is from Gruff Rhys's Hotel Shampoo tour, not Moose)
