Every penny, every licensed item from the Scottish Bigot means another tranche of funding for trans-exclusionary policies, lawsuits & other hateful ventures. I loved HP but now I cannot & will not support that hateful bigot. Its not possible to divorce creator and work when it actively hurts people.

Stupid head... After mumble days that's getting closer to 30 days than I'd truly like, I took the heavy duty painkillers last night. Given I have a chronic pain condition, it's surprising how much I dislike taking painkillers, but the OTC and even Rx codeine weren't working.

Watching #Watson - and I still can't understand why they have decided to have the same actor play twins. It's unnecessary. It's just adding to post production costs, and it gives no good payoff.
Apart from that, the show is... fine. It's nothing special but it's fine. Not groundbreaking though.

Google Maps open this morning, looking at congestion. It has a new feature to shake to add a traffic report. Had to turn it off because Notts roads have more potholes than tarmac!

Pseudo-hernia = no core strength = easy to overdo things = pain
Today, I have to drive to Stanstead and then look forward to three days of travel and work away from home. Bringing back brace because well… pain!

There are things I love in my job, and there are things that I dislike.
On a good day, the good outweighs the bad.
On a bad day, the stupid eclipses the good.
I just need to keep breathing.

There’s summit wrong with me… Watching opening scene of Riot Women, and a middle-aged woman is about to unalive herself, and my brain thinks, damn that rope is the wrong one. That’s gonna feel like crap! It’s the nylon blue rough type with stringy bits. First scene did make me laugh though #bbcdrama

There’s a lot to be said for wearing a brace to support my « not a real hernia », but it fundamentally changes the way that your core functions, so lifting weights is… interesting! Deload week and I struggled :(

In an attempt to reignite a hobby, I have ordered and charged new batteries for my cameras, and installed memory cards so that I can... you know, take some pictures. :)

I'm not perfect and I don't always remember, especially when I've known people before transitions or changed their gender identification. I misgendered someone last week by accident. A friend reminded me, I updated and apologised. It's not hard. It's about respect. #InternationalPronounsDay

Okay, so on minimal prompting from my wonderful wife @arasigyrn.bsky.social I may have placed an order for replacement batteries and chargers for my DSLR cameras because I've somehow managed to displace the buggers. So honestly, I'm trying to reset my environment.

So, how come I can have a whole pint of ice cream for breakfast and my blood sugar doesn't even blip. But a single slice of standard white bread and my blood sugar is in the rafters. This is bollocks!

In this context the AI boosterism on PM yesterday was pretty gross. They only downside they highlighted was the energy cost - which, yes, is awful. But even if it ate a normal amount of power, the copyright infringement needs flagging. And the horrors (cf Zelda Williams' experience).
I agree with every word Zelda Williams says. And this at the end from OpenAI makes me want to go full Ned Ludd. Creators can’t have a blanket opt-out on copyright infringement of their work and have to fill out a form appealing to OpenAI’s mercy every time? Fuck off into the sun

I don't feel well. It's nothing specific, but I'm tired and I'm not recovering energy how I usually do. Painkillers seem to make me feel worse somehow so I'm trying to stay away from them. I woke up with a feeling of intense pressure in my head this morning just before 6am. :(
So... send cutes?

In the last 6 hours, Trump has imposed:

I decided to start watching the adaptation of The Black Dagger Brotherhood (J.R. Ward) and I'm having a lot of trouble getting past the main character's wig. It's horrendously fake and when paired with the sunglasses... he looks ridiculous. Some things are better in fiction.
