As with spoilers, I just generally oppose telling people they're having fun wrong. If someone wants to reload to get the narrative they wanted: let them! Who cares? What does that do, invalidate someone else's gold medal in Having Fun Right? It does not actually matter. Let people enjoy things.

A.I. and corporate lingo are dragging language ynto drugged realmes of vague, airy, plastic nothingnesse: glitz and hyperbole wythout meaning. Language must have fur and clawes, make the floorboardes creake and leave wet dirtye footprintes. Wordes are rayne and fyre and stone. Wielde them. Save us.

Starting Expedition 23, but I'm apprehensive. The last few updates have been aimed squarely at not-me (no shade on everyone who loves them, just my playstyle), and I suspect the float-in-space bits will make me want to blow chunks... but we'll see. Reactionary, I know; I'm old. #NoMansSky

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

The fallacy that University leaders pushing AI are falling into is thinking that the point of undergraduate research is to find things out. It isn't. What students find out is typically already generally known. The point of undergraduate research is to learn how to find things out.

Lots of talk on ADHD, Autism on support, diagnosis, medication floating around. Few thoughts 1. You know we get misdiagnosed for years, prescribed far more dangerous medication with little oversight, treated in wards for years for things we don't have. Diagnosis and treatment is cheaper.

#OTD in 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. #WomensSuffrage Midterms are in 77 days. #Vote

A minimalist illustration of two early 20th-century suffragists actively campaigning for the right to vote. The figure on the left, with dark hair pinned up, wears a deep purple dress and a yellow shoulder sash reading "VOTES F...". The figure on the right wears a wide-brimmed straw hat, cream-colored top, and dark yellow skirt. Together, they lean forward to hold up a large, off-white rectangular sign reading "VOTES for WOMEN" in bold, black block lettering. The artwork features simplified, featureless faces against a plain white background, capturing a focused and determined mood that reflects the historic, grassroots struggle for women's suffrage prior to the passage of the 19th Amendment.

Beautiful Words Festival @beautifulwordscon.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

The Beautiful Words online program is live! Go to www.beautifulwords.net. 11 pay-what-you-can practical talks for writers and creatives about marketing, networking, social media, building long friendships and more.

Short description: You're looking at an image of a sun drenched beach at low tide with a table featuring a typewriter on it in the foreground. The words Beautiful Words, Online Program, 1 - 10 October 2026 are superimposed over the sand and sky above the typewriter and table. Longer description. The table's covered in a red and white check table cloth, hand sewn and if you zoomed in you'd see that I am an anarchist who does not care about snipping loose threads. There's a cup of black tea in a vintage blue and white china cup, the sort your nan might have owned, and some biscuits on the saucer under the cup. They're an anzac biscuit and a fairy biscuit, which is essentially sprinkles on icing on a sweet bikkie. The typewriter on the table is green and quite stylish. This is a typewriter you could take to a fancy dinner and it wouldn't be out of place. There's also a small white tea pot on the table, a shell and a small purple vase with a wayward bit of greenery sticking out of it. In front of the table is a stool with a retro black and white cushion on it. Why is this table at the beach? Ask the batty author who lugged it there a month ago in a beach wagon and they won't quite be able to tell you. But you can definitely picture that author munching on a biscuit or ten while taking this picture. The beach is sprawling, the sky a brilliant clear blue and there are mountains in the background because it is New Zealand and those suckers lurk everywhere. The writing superimposed over the top is in orange and blue. The overall vibe is an author who's sorted a writing con for the past three months and isn't quite sure what sane is anymore. Why else would they lug a typewriter, a tea set, a teapot and biscuits to the beach? Maybe they need another one of those biscuits. They're rather delicious. Especially the anzac ones.
