Silly artwork, puns, Maths. Possibly some stand-up/poetry/writing if I find the time. Occasional cryptic crossword setter. Had the evilflea handle for ages, trying out a stage/pen name.

Literally so close to the top 500 in FANTASY ROMANCE. Help a baby author out and take a chance for 0.99 or 0.77 if you're in the UK. 💜

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

Luckily once people hit 18 they no longer make mistakes. People never get divorced, go bankrupt, their businesses never fail, they never need to remove tattoos, they never change religion or part affiliation or career or city of residence after 18, luckily, so just wait until then

The use of motorway services in this image really underlines this is about excluding people from public life. When you stop at a motorway services, you're on your way somewhere else. It's the most banal space possible. Now we'll all have to check we conform to gender stereotypes in order to pee.
Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

They said, "Why are you doing this? The Tories were the GOAT at bad government, you're never going to match that, do it your own way. Make your own path. Be remembered for being you." But fair play to them, they're making a bloody good go of it.

I can reveal London’s giant AI generated Christmas artwork, the subject of much online mockery, is being torn down - and I honestly *genuinely* think you’ll never guess why. www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...

I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for Labour that voters refuse to recognise the difference between the government's progressive, well-intentioned racism and the destructive, toxic racism of Reform and the far-right.
