I don't want to see former Tory MPs on Strictly, in the Jungle, playing Traitors, hosting panel shows, or making travelogues or documentaries. I never want to see their smug, shiny faces again. I want them all to fuck permanently off.

"You have to feel sorry for all the MPs losing their jobs today" No I don't; maybe they shouldn't have been a bunch of corrupt scumbags.

In the wake of the "immunity" decision, the shocked press focused on how this hurts Jack Smith's case.

But it's much worse. The Supreme Court just blessed Trump's desire to be a dictator.

And they found a way to give that power only to Republicans.

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Reading Douglas Coupland’s MICROSERFS for the millionth time and I still love it as much as the first time. It’s a book that *very much* exists in a certain time & place & context, but it’s got so much heart. That surprises me every time.

I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

This means romance authors. This means poets. This means screenwriters and playwrights and actors of anything remotely risqué. And eventually, anything secular. They have no point of satisfaction until they’ve erased all of non-Christian expression.

“AI” is the culmination of the tech industry. Every time you use it, you destroy the environment, erode labor protections, endanger workers overseas, enrich the ruling class, and make something unforgivably worthless, all at the same time – and it's all hidden from you in a frictionless distraction.

My reality: sold 2 stories so far this year, have a book coming out next week, have a novel & novella nearly finished, doing pretty good with freelance editing/proofreading with great clients. My brain: you’re too slow, you’re not good enough to get an agent, you’re a failure.
