An old Welsh friend of mine who was from the area taught me how to pronounce it. It’s been my one party trick since then.

Haven’t done any drawing for months, but have finally picked up a pencil. Feeling very rusty, but it’s a start.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

This is very exciting. Huge congratulations! 👏

I know it’s early days, but I hope The Nerve podcast is coming at some point in the future. It’s the only way I’d realistically be able to follow your work as regularly as I’d like to. I would definitely financially contribute then.

Ah, adorable 😍

Loved this.

As someone who was born in what was still then Soviet Union, grew under it’s long shadow, and later studied it’s culture & society at university, it was eye opening to realise just how much of the particular brand of Soviet socialism was rooted in Marx’s uniquely unpleasant personality

Origin Story @originstorypodcast.bsky.social · 8d

🚨New episode out🚨 @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social continue the socialism season with the big guy, Karl Marx.

“Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways,” Marx wrote. “The point is to change it.”

Can you not see how terf logic gets you to a place that implies that females are not people?
