I’ve just added my voice to this consultation saying I don’t want a situation in which staff and fellow swimmers might scrutinise or judge my body, or anyone else’s, when I use the ponds. The current policy of trans inclusion works perfectly well. You can fill out the consultation linked below.

Those tedious and mysteriously funded transphobes want to limit access to the Ponds so I’ve had a pleasant 10 mins filling this out on why seeing a variety of women is magic and judging by what people look like or can do is very slippery territory hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.isn

Future access to the Hampstead Heath Bathing Ponds

Inviting feedback from pond users, the local community, and stakeholders on how the Kenwood Ladies’, and Highgate Men’s ponds should operate in the future.

I have so much respect for Greta Thunberg because she easily could have coasted on speaking gigs and Davos appearances for the rest of her life

A student in my publishing course is interested in researching book pulping and book recycling. Do we know any work or introductory material in this area?

(Work on remainders, print runs, supply chain, raw materials all relevant, too.)

BlueSky: If you've started reading my new book, AESTHETIC IMPROPRIETY: PROPERTY LAW AND POSTCOLONIAL STYLE, and are enjoying it, please consider sending me a sentence or two explaining why.

It's for a thing I'm applying for (and a small monetary award for future research funds). Thanks!

underrated pleasure of having cats:

putting any rubbish that enters your house in the middle of the floor, and then leaving the room. knowing full well that, when you return an hour later, they will 100% be perched uncomfortably upon it

black cat perched upon a tiny box. there are two very comfy cat beds in the background which obviously he is not sitting on

absolutely breathtaking levels of “reframe punching up as punching down” are emerging in AI discourse. fighting back against AI is us against billion dollar tech companies, yet they are pulling out so many wild rhetorical tricks to make it seem like the anti-AI movement are the powerful bullies here

“don’t be bigoted towards AI.”

your AI data centers are poisoning Black communities as we speak, please get some fucking perspective. jesus christ
