The anti-trans movement is from the top down is, to put it delicately, rife with nonces and child abusers, and it's exasperating how it's ignored. I'd detail some of the shit these anti-trans ideologues are involved with, but it would make me want to claw my own eyes out before I got half way done.

Your update inspired me to put on the Christmas playlist yesterday. I'm looking forward to Christmas this year. ☺️

Like, sure do what you want with your loved ones. But just wonder at what point it's more pressure than enjoyment. Or simply unnecessary!
I remember my friend being passed a present from the groom on her wedding day and I was like "is this a thing?" Isn't the gift... Getting married?!

Anyone else think modern culture has invented an insane amount of reasons to buy presents?
Christmas eve boxes, Easter baskets, Halloween presents (this might just be someone I know) and about a million wedding related ones.

one of the biggest contributors to Elon’s loser energy is that he desperately wants to be cool, but doesn’t understand that a big part of being cool is appearing unaffected. he’s one of the most affected men of all time.

I used to follow a gaming channel that made their website bright pink for this exact reason.

Gen Alpha won’t ever have to write an email when they join the workforce, new research reveals—they’ll be sending voice notes to their boss instead | Fortune LSE researchers say Gen Alpha will talk, not type at work—they predict that voice notes will make keyboard practically obsolete by 2030.

Need to work my way up to being the boss of somewhere so I can ban the use of voice notes.
Sending a voice message to a colleague should be a sackable offence tbh.

Love that the Total Jobs website just decides to not work all the time. Click "apply" and then get an "oopsy *that's*! not supposed to happen" page because it didn't load.
Brilliant. Thanks.

I've had fun rereading Stormlight Archive this year but I cannot explain how excited I will be to be done because it frees up so much time for more books.

I'm 3,300 pages down, aiming for another 1,200 before the end of the year.
Think how many books I can read with that time next year!

Yuuuup

When you avoid giving your toddler sugar they end up with weird vices instead. My little bean is currently decimating a paper cup of mayonnaise.

Job hunting is always soul sucking but this time around it feels especially so. Juggling the need for flexibility now I have a 1 year old with me trying to avoid social media specific roles, at a time where the job market is especially slow... Has been pretty damn awful.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Happy Halloweeen :)

I might just be a picky bitch but I swear I cannot find pizza I actually find satisfying. Like the way pizza hut used to be.

How did Dominoes win the takeout pizza war? It's the worst one and now it's my only choice.

Also I don't know if this speaks to blue sky or signifier's audience but I'm amazed that I got shared by such a big creator and only got positivity in my notifications.
There's good in this world etc etc

Video is now on YouTube for people not on Nebula. Once again, I highly recommend it.

What in the actual fuck? Googles AI basically hallucinated that I somehow accused my podcast host & close friend of toxic behavior & harassment - killing her channel. Keep in my, Vera and I host a podcast together regularly and are good friends and her channel is amazing. This is absolutely fucked.

The new @fdsignifier.bsky.social video about Sinners is a great example of what I love about his work. I'm following along, with these concepts percolating in my head. And then eventually there's the "ah ha" moment. A new way of seeing, not only the movie, but the industry and culture as well.

Very happy that flakes are replacing eclairs in the Christmas heroes tub (but only the paper ones?)
I like an eclair but putting a toffee that takes an age to chew amongst chocolates that are quick to eat is insanity.

This is an utterly nonsensical way to report the really relieving news that Plaid Cymru, a party which espouses all sorts of liberal values including trans rights, etc. (and which isn't even mentioned in this headline!!!) won the election by a 47% landslide, well ahead of Reform as well as Labour.

This tattoo shop is in Manchester. Which means you can get your Harry Potter tattoo removed and then go over to Queer Lit and find a new book to fall in love with. There's even a trans section!

Yeah I think there are going to be more families who do the equivalent of “we don’t own a TV, we simply all sing madrigals around the piano by candlelight for entertainment” during these next decades. There isn’t a safe amount of AI slop for kids to be exposed to. So if a platform has it: then no.

Recruiters man, they're such a bizarre bunch.

Like, she said she'd seen my CV but seemed absolutely confused by everything I just said. And I'm barely awake because I've not even had a coffee yet.

Just had a baffling call with a recruiter. She called me, asked what I'm doing now. I said "job hunting" which apparently was somehow the wrong answer?
Then when I explained I'd been on maternity leave she said the job she had needed (it was quiet but I think she said "someone from work")
Me: ok..

Crazy jingoists aside, I'm unironically loving the food history talk on my feed today.

fish and chips, the native British dish invented by sephardic Jewish migrants in the 18th century using a vegetable no one on this island had encountered before the 16th
