One of the things I take great pleasure in is that JK published her detective series under a false name because she was insecure about the idea that her literary work would stand on its own merits.

And it didn't.

They leaked her name to recoup their losses.

I hope that haunts her every day.

Good question. What's an album you regret buying?

Biggest regret was "What's The Story Morning Glory?"

I was in Poland at the time, so knew nothing about Oasis. Thought I'd see what the fuss was about.

Nothing. The fuss was about nothing.

It's one of the few albums I regret buying.
I'll Manage Somehow and Stardust are fine. The rest is mostly forgettable.

He has definitely heard of intersex and trans people, but they are inconvenient when the goal is to make Polanski look 1) foolish 2) dangerous

Fantastic to see some actual solidarity with trans people. That said, this question is being asked, and asked in this specific way, because it’s a marker of the monstering. Even the softest leftish threat has to be crushed and mockery is step 1. The hypnosis stuff didn’t stick so - bigger guns time.

Solidarity with all trans and intersex people having their existence debated every time a tv host hasn't done their prep and can't think of any more questions

I think the main refreshing thing about Mamdani, for me, is that he actually likes New York City and wants to see it thrive for everyone.

Long Covid is more prevalent in children in the US now than asthma. We are fucking destroying the next generations w/our behavior. (And adults.)

If you do care about resisting eugenics maybe start by not being the vector that disables a kid in RFK’s US. That is not too much to ask. It really isn’t.

Traveling halfway across the world & packing into a room for a conference panel on the theme of resisting eugenics.

But not wearing a respirator during a surge in the ongoing pandemic.

What a fun way to show how the research & scholars you’re there to ostensibly listen to mean jack shit to you.

Screenshot of @detectivehole’s tumblr post of 1 June 2022 which reads: “gay sex will not save this situation. honestly, it’d probably make it worse. that being said i think we should give it a shot anyway” - yours truly has inexpertly crossed out the words “gay sex” in red and added “polyamory” instead.
