One last thought on jealousy and envy of more successful peers:

You’re not a monster for feeling it. Jealousy is a reaction, nearly an instinct. It’s the easy way

Being happy for ppl’s success takes practice. It’s a *conscious decision* you make over and over. It’s hard at first, but it’s worth it

I must have watched Deadloch four or five times since it came out. It's always baffled me that it never got the widespread attention it deserved.

Deadloch is one of the most delightfully dark, atmospheric and funny series I have seen in years. I adore it.

Fresco of Sappho holding writing equipment.

‘Glittering-Minded deathless Aphrodite,
I beg you, Zeus’s daughter, weaver of snares,
Don’t shatter my heart with fierce
Pain, goddess’ ~ Sappho for #InternationalWomensDay

A dark gray and gold robot reclines on an extravagant chaise lounge with his chit and suit jacket opened to reveal his chest. He's one arm wrapped around a cello neck while the other holds a bow that rests on his shoulder. Behind him is a gold-inlaid carving of an owl among branches.

Did you need something...?

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

The extent to which 'AI' is robbing writers, academics and artists of their work just got even worse - now they want to steal our reputations too, putting words into our mouths after we've died. Just think for a second about the horrendous ways that could be exploited, intellectually and politically

Being working class starts at the point of dispossession from the things we create and the things we need. When enough solidarity is forged amongst folks that covers, that disconnect can be mended, and society will change for the better.

Happy #HansryWeek and #PrideMonth
The subject for day 1 was "Flowers"
So flowers I did!
The poem is a quote of an anonymous medieval poet.

Am I bonkers to do #fanart of such complexity on my holiday?
Damn right, I am.
No regrets, though!

From Douglas Adams' So Long And Thanks For All the Fish:
It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."
"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"
"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"

"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"

Let's pour one out for the platform the Labour Party have campaigned on my entire adult life.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

90's kids can never truly convey how this style of art is part of the structure of our brains. I never thought about how it smelled but I know how it *feels* in there.
