Tonight I will be knitting a lace blanket for donation to the charity Sands, to be put in one of the memory boxes they provide bereaved families after the loss of a baby. Often, the world is going to shit; often, your hands can make something that makes hardship a little less difficult to bear

The last few days did not move the main story forward AT ALL. It's just a guy eating little treats and doing nothing. And so many plot holes. He says, "no more little treats," and then he's eating another little treat in literally the next scene.

This opinion will not surprise anyone, but:
Your ability to live a comfortable life should not be dependent on your ability to contribute to capitalism. Universal basic income is a good thing NOT because it benefits society financially (it does), but because it is good and kind and correct.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

It is about this: because so many people do not give a shit about romance, shit gets tried in romance first.
You should pay attention to romance publishing news and care about it, because they will try that shit here first.

I do enjoy popping onto bluesky when I hear there's been Publishing News. On this occasion, the frequent use of the word "finally" is quite telling lol

Here’s a comprehensive list of appropriate responses upon hearing that a man murdered worshippers at a synagogue:
1- this is fucked up, fuck that guy, fuck antisemitism, solidarity with the victims
2- see above

If you’re in the UK and were born between 1970-1990 you can just go to your GP and get revaccinated for MMR because you may have had single vaccines, which are no longer considered valid. I went & did it this summer. Easy way to help protect yourself & your community.
If you are worried this is too big an executive function barrier you can go to a pharmacy and they will probably just jab you. That is what I did.
I'm not saying it's necessarily the right way to do this, that is just how much I am not fucking around with the measles

Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.

The news is often difficult to read at the moment but the last few days have been particularly grim. Just heartbreaking, all of it

Thread on how to detect ai in that viral dog video
Yeah, I mean, I'm critical of any video nowadays that is trying to elicit an emotional response, especially when it's asking for subs at the end. It's weird that all the people seem to end up with the dog they want. And shelters are overflowing, where are the rooms full of people wanting to adopt?

Been going back and forth in my mind about it since I saw the news last night and have concluded that, yes, I do expect organisations to stand up and fight transmisogynistic legal challenges - even if it means that organisation ceases to exist.

Financial precarity. Yes university students have always been living on their last 20 bucks, but the number of students I talk to now who have *multiple* jobs in addition to being fulltime students, some of whom are taking care of family members' survival needs as well as their own, is shocking. 5/

this is part of a discussion about using AI art in your presentation slides, but also feels like it captures where this all goes wrong.
people who don't see the visuals as communication can't respect the skill & thought of the artists whose work got fed into these models to begin with.

Yes! Visuals are part of the communication. Treating them as ignorable decoration completely misses the point and it’s not how they’re received by an audience

Anyway shout out to my wildly talented friends who released books out this year. @kvalentinwrites.bsky.social's AMATEUR WITCH'S GUIDE TO MURDER is delightfully dark and so very funny and @jennihowell.bsky.social's BOYS WITH SHARP TEETH is twisted obsession at its finest
My favourite problem to have is that so many of my friends are now published authors that I have too many books to choose from while buying gifts for other friends and family

If you think that the current state of trans healthcare in the UK is because of concern or caution, I'd encourage you to think again.
It's not medically informed, it's a reactionary response to transphobic bigotry whipped up into a frenzy over the past few years.
And it costs lives.
