Someone should found the Journal of Comparative & Crirical Capybara Studies. They’d be overwhelmed with submissions!

I would like to write about capybaras in my day job (instead of transphobia).

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

The next time you look at a potato, remember: inside that humble tuber is a microscopic storehouse of plant energy and a hidden rainbow waiting under the microscope.

went to this community organizing thing a bit ago and ended up on a variety of signal chats and like. wow. how does one keep up with all this while being employed? i’m glad there are folks who can do all that, but man. i burn all my energy just getting through the day. there is nothing left.

Don't go searching for OP, leave them alone. I just think that what they uplift is important and explains why many people simply cannot engage in activism and organizing regularly. And the truth is that it's hard to figure out actual ways around this because organizing in fact a labor.

Child’s drawing of Keir Starmer. He looks like a square headed robot in a blue suit, with massive feet.

My son’s class were drawing Keir Starmer yesterday and the photos on Dojo are HILARIOUS. I kid you not - they ALL drew him with a square head. Wish I could share the others, but here’s my son’s depiction of our robot overlord.

A small book with limbs made of rolled-up paper held between the covers and a crudely drawn face sticking out from the top

This country has a history of 'managing' migration incrementally into smaller and smaller numbers until we land at where we're at today - from Empire through the Windrush, through that generation, to Brexit, to now.

Please excuse my migrant skin crawling at my party joining in that rhetoric.

I am autistically decompressing between classes (listening to A Design For Life loudly on headphones in a coffee shop and avoiding looking at anyone else in case I know them).

I just thought 'next World Book Day, I'll have a book in the world' and then I had a momentary self-jumpscare that that means I'm bookpregnant.

Working on a new Disturbing Words on "law", and digging into Nomos (as in auto-nomous bombs) is… giving.

Want to know why you feel numb when confronted with the Law (Nomos)? Well, they're only the same word at root. Also, numbers, so adding thoughts on gambling on genocide (bad).
