I have always admired her no-fucks-given approach to other writers, particularly the overhyped grifters.

Low-grade wretched terror. The Bad Thing that you have ignored most of your life is slowly rising to overwhelm you... (a personal failing, not the state of the world, oddly enough).

Well we've got the Thing to Do. It's one of those situations where ALL the factors are in our favour. Just got to get the kid properly on board...

Maybe Greggs etc could pay their staff enough for them to care? It's not hard to see why staff are reluctant to confront thieves - either they don't fancy getting duffed up for minimum wage, or they sympathise with the shoplifters because they are skipping meals due to lack of money themselves.

Enormously tired. I think an early night is called for... (see me at 1am still giving some random fascist a good online kicking...)

People who start boohooing because someone disagreed with them are generally losers who deserved it in the first place. People who run back to TwiX because someone disagreed with them are definitely losers. Enjoy being back in that circle of hell that mingles fascist wingnuts with endless adverts.

Don't know how the rest of you are doing but after another horrible day I have made a GP appointment to ask them what is wrong with my brain and if they can fix it. I lost a bit of paper. It completely dematerialised. My gears are definitely slipping.

One bit of the dayjob that I like some times more than others: slideshow-building. Fun when it's someone who lived a good long life and there's a mix of vintage photos, happy poses with the grandchildren and a few daft ones in silly hats to make people smile. Not so nice when it's babies.

You don't have to like porn to defend it. There's not even much wrong with having issues with some types of porn... but you do need to understand that the weaponised moral panics around porn are not about porn. They are about power and control and the scapegoating of those with little of either.

Here’s Judith Butler explaining what this movement is and always was, about five years ago.

As a fascist trend, the anti-gender movement supports ever strengthening forms of authoritarianism. Its tactics encourage state powers to intervene in university programs, to censor art and television programming, to forbid trans people their legal rights, to ban LGBTQI people from public spaces, to undermine reproductive freedom and the struggle against violence directed at women, children, and LGBTQI people. It threatens violence against those, including migrants, who have become cast as demonic forces and whose suppression or expulsion promises to restore a national order under duress.

If I wasn't so sleepy I absolutely would be leaping about and shrieking with joy. I thought the days when putting an obscure band name into your search engine and something you want ACTUALLY COMING UP were long gone. But I have just found this and .... oooh... youtu.be/cT3fqK_thc0

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

I am quite inclined to take some of the Pride bunting I have knocking around and tie it around lamp-posts in areas where the flag-shaggers have been active. But not sure if it would taint the Pride flag/confuse people into thinking it's an endorsement of the weaponised red&white by the queer

Amazing how many people on this app seem to believe that adopting the fascist stance on trans people is somehow the key to defeating fascism.

Sad but not totally surprising news - the legend that was Tom Lehrer has finally gone. 97 so it was bound to happen. The world is now a slightly sadder place, though.

About the best thing I can say for this site is that it has so far managed to keep the bots way down. Thr**ds is getting worse and worse in terms of being flooded with christofascists, foetus worshippers, racists and the anti-trans crazies.

If I had any kind of step-counting device (which I don't, because I refuse to pay money for an electronic Cartman) it would probably have melted today. Bus complications meant a walk of about a mile to start the day, and then this evening's bout of 'FINE if no one else can do it then I'll do it

I still ache in various places, and today was frazzled but less awful than I was worrying it might be (the Big Mistake I thought I might have made is not only salvageable but already salvaged)...

I am very very tired and my neck, head and shoulders hurt. But it was worth it. #PrideInLondon today, in full pigeon rig, parading with the Queer Morris Alliance. If you were there too, hope you had a good day - who were you with?

Sometimes doing a good deed gets a reward, not in heaven (if there is any such location) but right here. In other words, a grateful client gave me a bottle of EXTREMELY nice Romanian wine.

I have been moderately productive today and intend to be moderately more so this evening. Possibly due to accepting that I am going to remain horribly overworked for a while but there IS a path out of the situation.

Urgh, absolutely shattered this morning. Went to Cambridge last night to retrieve daughter and her belongings; she was having a farewell meet up with her running club so we agreed I would meet her at 8.30. 'Got everything packed, love?' I texted at intervals. Er, nope. Just caught the last train

Gah, daughter, caught up in tonight's train chaos, decides to walk halfway across south London and has no phone credit. Trying not to ring her every 10 minutes to order her home when we are both too broke to get her a cab...

I think I had better go and have a look for some antihistamines. Something has bitten me and there is a certain sensation around that bite that indicates potential trouble. Of course it's Friday...
