I have no words. Just a slow blink.
The other day someone asked me if I had any hobbies… I had to think about it.
But I think my hobby is sleeping.
I’m not altogether sure that it’s the healthiest answer. 😅

I need to confess my TV crush.
Danny Robbins. He’s just so damn enthusiastic about those ghosts! And that’s hot!

Sex work decriminalisation saves lives.
Our fight is for full bodily autonomy. This doesn’t end with access to Trans+ healthcare.
It includes right to die, fertility justice and it includes the right of sex workers to work without the threat of being criminalised.

Stings a bit. 38% would be “disappointed or angry”
But 61% either said they “wouldn’t mind either way” or “would be pleased or happy”
And that’s almost two thirds.
And given the political and media environment they’re all swimming in, that remains remarkable.

I feel a spiritual kinship with the organisers of Lilith Fair.
The magic of that moment. Of building infrastructure yourself. Of flying while putting the wings on the plane. Of making mistakes and learning and growing together. Of carving out space in a hostile climate. Of love and community.

This sums up how I’ve been thinking about the question “how can you be bigoted about a marginalised community when you also face bigotry based on your marginalised identity?”
My view is it happens when there’s an absence of either empathy or pattern recognition. Or indeed, an absence of both.

Has anyone seen my endometrium? I’m sure it must be around here somewhere.

Dear Mx Davies,
We are contacting you to ask if you are on any weight loss treatments, as these may have an impact on the effectiveness of your HRT to adequately protect your endometrium (womb lining).

I’ve been arguing that while I might not like the media ecosystem we have today. We need to think about how to utilise it as it is rather than ONLY work to change it.
We need to think about how we bend the rage economy for good. I think @zackpolanski.bsky.social is nailing it on this front.
