moomin gets stereotyped as cozy pseudo-ghibli fantasy, but much like ghibli itself it's something born from hardship, what with it starting publication at the tail end of WW2 by a queer author who kept her bisexuality a secret to the public, and the earliest books being blatant post-war allegories

ensign: sir, that was mambo number 4. I don't think the ship can take a fifth.

"NO CASH ACCEPTED" is a global crisis. I have seen this on three continents now. It's anti-poor, anti-youth, anti-immigrant and pro-surveillance. I had thought it was an American problem, then a Western one, but surveillance capitalism is taking over even the smallest transactions globally.

shout out to my uni for making my MA as humiliating, lengthy and difficult as possible 💖💖

My thoughts entirely. I felt like I was in bizarro world. Thankfully I went on autopilot busybody mode and said “you can call an ambulance, or I can do it instead” and he agreed to call one, but the whole thing was just horrible. I really hope the man is safe and being properly looked after

And the coolest thing? When I took him off the tube at the next station and pressed the emergency intercom button, the t f l guy that ambled up told me to get back on the tube with this semi-conscious seizing stranger intermittently clutching his chest and take him to A&E myself

Even cooler that a man in a Mad Dog McRea shirt told me to just leave the guy alone bc he was just drunk, when I asked how long he’d been like that for

EXTREMELY cool that I got on the tube to find a full carriage of people studiously ignoring a man (wearing a red hospital wristband and clutching a giant pharmacy bag) unconscious and having a lil seizure

Sent a pigeon through the tube at the bank. Boy were they surprised

annnd… it is at build-a-bear. again

I have my fitness to study panel today. Only my uni have started (to make it seem less scary) calling it a “wellness and support review”. I do not feel particularly well or supported but I HAVE been going to town on a pack of pink panther wafers since 5 this morning so. Swings and roundabouts etc

I keep thinking about this because I feel like when people say "canary in a coal mine" these days it's more a shrug/grief/more life lost.

BUT THE MINERS LISTENED TO THE CANARY'S WARNING AND ALSO SAVED IT FROM HARM.

looked after Turbo Princess this weekend. I think something within me was healed when she lay on my chest and purred

Like obvs I’m just not going to go to that shop anymore, but I can’t skulk about my city looking like black bloc 24/7

I am the child of half an InfSci MSc (with a healthy and rational distrust of our growing empire of surveillance) and of a long-standing hangover from psychoses that centred surveillance and technology.

I have no idea how to be normal about this

The little T*sco’s near my house has just installed live facial recognition cameras at the door. Tried to go in, saw it, panicked and left, and had a meltdown on the main road.

A Border Leicester sheep, overlaid with a motivational message: "I’m plotting on ur rise bro. I’m literally up in the lab scheming on the beautiful abundance for you. I’m cooking up ways for a rising tide to lift all of our boats. I’m praying for your gains. I’m lighting a candle to your inevitable splendor dude."

Does anybody know if we have anything good happening ever again?

How can you arrest FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE at a single event, find zero legal justification for having done so in one of those hundreds of instances, and not expect people to think you’re totally bent as an organisation?

my uni: in order to enrol again after a “break in studies” you must attend 5 sessions of group coaching.

The group coaching??? FULLY BOOKED

Sick of everything being Orwellian or Kafkaesque. I demand more Scarrylous situations, where animals drive vehicles and run small businesses.

This highlights one of the more annoying issues with the Greens, which is that voting for them requires you to check the local candidate isn't a fucking dickhead because for some reason they tolerate this shit in their ranks.

Don’t mean to brag but I found this by a bin outside the chemist this morning. Yee haw x
