I didn’t love season 4, but I think For All Mankind is one of the best series ever. It charts whole new categories of goodness and relevance.
Haven't watched For All Mankind yet?
Then watch For All Mankind. ☝️
You have 52 days left to watch 40 episodes before season 5. And the rather optimistic vibe of this alternative universe, though obviously imperfect, may be just what you need right now. 👍

So, it’s official: the Cornwall chapter ends and the Sussex chapter begins on May 3. I hope I haven’t inadvertently fucked myself by arranging to move over a bank holiday weekend, but whatever. I have an AirBnB in Worthing for a month. Will have the stuff I’m keeping stored. And yeah. Finally. 🥂

CNF "Monster Theory (Lyric Essay)" by G. M. Rowbotham
“Gay bars smell like poppers and loneliness. I can’t go in. Not because I’m afraid of who’s there—but because I’m afraid I’ll stay.”

Greetings from Moisture House. My conservatory roof, unfixed by my landlord, is leaking badly. The whole floor in there is wet, and it’s getting into the living room.

Five concerts you’ve seen with women lead singers
Eurythmics
Tori Amos
Kylie Minogue

Interestingly, we were seated a few seats down from Hong Kong film director Wong Kar-Wai at the Cat Power show (which was in Macau). It was an interesting night.

The dense fog tonight is eerie and I would go caper in it but the streetlights all get switched off at some point and it would be just my luck to encounter actual monsters, because, you know, Cornwall.

On an unrelated note, how did I miss a new Depeche Mode single? “In the End” is terrific. It kind of came out of nowhere but was recorded in the Memento Mori sessions. It’s a slow burn but really good.

The first episode of Starfleet Academy was exactly what I needed after a long day. I don’t want to set unreasonable expectations, but it was really fucking good. Holly Hunter was god-level good casting. So was Sandro Rosta. I didn’t know who the hell he was either but now we do. 🚀

A browse of Clearsky this evening revealed that a certain mentally unwell individual in the gay publishing community has blocked me - has in fact singled me out for the privilege - and I feel radiant and powerful in this knowledge.

No, autistics do not “lack empathy”: “Where researchers had assumed impairment, they found autistic people applying moral principles more consistently—even to strangers, even when costly.” By Ludmila Pradlova.

What the World Got Wrong About Autistic People
For decades, autism research compared autistic people to animals, denied them moral sensitivity, and assumed autistic traits made them miserable. All wrong.

How did I end up with a cold? How does this always happen at the beginning of the semester? I was supposed to go out today but changed my plans. Blah. Sofa time with lots of tea. ☕️

Spices/seasonings I use the most (other than the obvious ones):
Miso, Zanzibar curry powder, chipotle powder, shichimi, fleur de sel, dill, hickory smoked salt, smoked paprika, za’atar, grains of paradise, and yes I know how this looks and sounds. 👀

Hope everyone in the UK is holding up in this storm. I was worried about my conservatory roof for a while there, but the wind seems to be dying down. The leakage is pretty bad but I have towels and power and an outstanding bottle of Riesling, so there’s that.

A little something to close out 2025 and start 2026 on a cautiously optimistic note. Happy New Year, y’all! Or may it be at least less craptastic.
