And they are the lucky ones! I hope there is contingencies in place for those who require non-standard mail outs (braille, large lettering, translations etc) but what about those who want to mail IN? what a waste of money, who wanted clippy but for post. make first class stamps affordable again

First, ofc, I am mad at how bad privatisation is. When has it been good (minus those who were already rich) Second, you know who really relies on post now? Older people who, even if they have grandchildren and friends near to help them navigate an even more digital world who are even more shut out

Tried to look up nice vegan places to go where we could go and get a weekend spa treatment without animals being harmed. "HIKING!" "WEIGHT LOSS!" "YOGA!" (I actually like a nice a walk and some yoga) but where is the place where I can have a big soft bed and a swim without animal exploitation pls

I was there just the other day and was charmed equally by the fresco of a leashed dog in one of the thermopolia that Zuchtriegel says might have reminded owners to leash their pets

I finished this with tears of anger and hope in a café in public, I can also highly recommend it

New mouse, new cat, what a time to be alive (not derogatory in this very specific instance)

I dipped my toe in as well, owing to coming across the concept of nonbinariness and thinking (this is embarrassing to write) "well, I don't have a good association with being clasified as a woman, that's just part of being female, gawd you don't need a label". I got better.

LLMs are not intelligent, generative AI is not intelligent, they are both utterly derivative of actual human beings. Anyone listening to Nick Bostrum is an idiot, and I hate it all

Sylvia @sylvswarren.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

You are right, it is so bloody stupid. I want to shout about how actual 'artficial intelligence' doesn't exist; even the 'good' edge cases (like human-supported screening of mammography or protein folding) are very specifically fed programmes [1/2]

that is roasting myself at 14 yo, but who cares, I was 14 and didn't have billions and political clout (which is good). Anyway, recommend the book.

I could SO easily have been a primo target for this sort of nonsense. I get it, alienation, feeling weird with your peers, wanting to fix the world. Fuck, I'd even love to live in the sea. These people are just so facile it's infuriating, they are running with thoughts I discarded as an angsty 14yo

The Nerd Reich (Gil Duràn) is absolutely grim and fascinating, but it is telling how these ghouls grew up as clever, lonely, autistic, isolated nerds and decided feudal monarchy was the answer. Bitches, I grew up as a lonely, autistic, isolated nerd and decided that everyone deserves a good life

"And “Ortolan” by Sylvia Warren is a sad yet sly story, monstrous period drama cooked to perfection" Oh I do love a review

Taking bets on what the next British media opinion piece will be. Dyslexia? Fake, just learn to read. Left handed people? Let us bring back tying the dominant hand behind their back and beating children for fun. Redheads are fundamentally antisemitic.

I understand the irony of this, but it turns out the less I engage with being online and the more I just internalise and write about things I care about the happier I am

Imagine if there had been a, say, global pandemic that did not discriminate on infection by age in a demographic who were sent back to schools very early and where post-infections sequelae affect multiple organ systems. God, this stupid smug cunt.

If you have something interesting then I can vouch that this lot are some of the nicest people to publish with, great editorial standards and one of my favourite literary journals online

Oh my god you should, it's been an absolute delight. I can't remember what these early ones were, but the later ones are using Staedetler waterproof pigment liners, I like 0.05 and 0.1 for most of it, with some of the 0.5 to fill in big sections. I'm using a midori A6 blank notebook which is great

pathetic, anti-humanity, and anti-science. what a legacy. History will look on you as one of those who insisted on phrenology.

look, we could also have charles bork it, william be technically be king, and then lose to france again, so it could be funnier

When @leopardsbane.bsky.social sent it to me yesterday morning I felt compelled to read it out loud. It really is a gorgeous piece

Hahaha my mum yelled at one of my teachers as well when she said "sylvia doesn't want to describe the pictures, she prefers to read the words" Yes, because it is reading time, not art apprreciation time

Apart from being read to (or reading with) every single night, sometimes with voices, I was also allowed to raid my parents' bookshelves without restrictions. It did mean I bounced off Iris Murdoch when I was 12, but that was because...I was 12. Also books were the standard present for birthdays etc

I've got to say, the only good thing Sam Altman has done is get me back into art out of pure spite. While I do have a spotify subscription I have also bought more records, never use AI, read actual books, fuck the idea we cannot own ourselves

@leopardsbane.bsky.social has poem'd Can I believe anyone stands condemned before the maker of such a world, before the Father of such a Son? Crowned with a thousand pink and cornflower dawns, and all the roses in Jerusalem? This God who fell Himself into our sorrows, who fell Himself into bread.
