As someone who left Labour for the Greens in 2022, I can tell you I will not be going back whilst the Labour party supports genocide, is openly transphobic, terrorises disabled people, wants the planet to burn and keeps talking about the “legitimate concerns” of racist mobs. So never then?

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

there’s one true answer but it’s the correct one five minutes after game of thrones - the last true monoculture show - ended, we all collectively agreed not to talk about it again, and house of the dragon/knight of the seven kingdoms haven’t recaptured a fraction of that cultural presence

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

I know I am not alone in saying that my relationship with mammograms is abusive. There’s a reason I rage-wrote a short story (titled “Abracadabra”) imagining better technology. Come on science, listen to this science fiction writer and make it so. This torture should not be so necessary. 😑

"This Labour Government is the worst thing to have ever happened to trans children." Do you recall, back in the 2010s, that campaign of videos where #LGBTQ+ people, including celebs, sent the message "it gets better" to prevent kids killing themselves? 16 years later, this. What the fuck happened?

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

As someone who grew up with the same surname as a serial killer, at the time they were active, he has my heartfelt sympathy - I changed mine as soon as I got married, and used a family name online before then.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Oo yes, he is Mr Mischief. One of his favourite games is to get the whippet to chase him up the stairs (Stripes is 11 and a bit arthritic, so not easy). Oh and his latest wheeze is practicing his howling, modelled on a husky, but at a higher pitch.

I always feel slightly judged when our car gets *broken into. They take all the crap out of the pockets and compartments and leave it on the front seat. Nothing stolen bc we don’t leave valuables in the car, just crap and an aged first aid kit. * we probably forgot to lock it
