Through hard work and not a little peril, you finally own the house of your dreams. You wake with a hangover in an unfamiliar room. Everything wants to kill you.
So this plumber eats mushrooms to fight evil turtles to rescue a princess.

I don't think people have, as yet, fully grasped the likely societal impact of the fact that generations of women, LGBTQ+ folk and others have suffered, and have simmered with anger, and now, thanks to the Epstein files, we don't just have the abstract concept of patriarchy to blame - we have names.

.. and then because I'm looking for fresh garage doors to photograph, I end up exploring all sorts of alleys and back ways and finding other stuff besides.
It's an improv 'yes! and!' approach, I think.
I mean, it's an example of a thing that helped during the lockdowns here.

So, um, I struggle with anxiety, to the extent that when I'm in a bad state, randomly deviating from The Path (to work or the shop or...) is too much. It's limiting and horrible.
I gave myself art projects: 'go photograph garage doors and put them on the internets daily' f'rinstance. It helps (1/2)

Honestly, I feel like the Ableton people were like three Club Mates into some squat-techno afterparty and went 'What if, right, what if we made it really easy to fiddle about with random kit and make weird skronk music, instead of it being system admin?'

There's no point trying to give ground to extremists to make them happy. Their lives are dedicated not only to making others miserable, but to the endless pursuit of unhappiness for themselves.

It seems impossible to appease campaign group Sex Matters
In April 2025, Sex Matters – the UK’s most prominent gender-critical campaign group – declared a win, but the fight seems far from over

I am sad to report that it is Fucking Trivial to sound like a vintage Funker Vogt and I am going to be making dreadful futurepoop noises and giggling to myself for the rest of the month.

I don't have a soundcloud (I have a mixcloud instead), but I do have a story in this fine anthology.
With stories by Danie Ware, Juliet McKenna, Anna Smith Spark and many others, Fight Like A Girl #2 has been a feature on award short lists this year. Find out why people love it so much:

Maybe our entire conception of politics is wrong. Maybe we just need to find good people and give them money to do things.
