New episode idea - Quark has a new holosuite that forcefems Bashir who can't decide if he wants it to be reversed. Threads into a side plot where O'brien can't figure out why all the mugs the replicator spits out keep referencing basements and estrogen.

It feels like cheating or punching down with how reliably repulsive Mahmood is when commenting. For a party that is supposed to be forensic and on-message at all times it is baffling that she should have gotten such an important role. Naked loyalty to the regime is so clearly her only qualification.

Winter babbys. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Black and white photo of a white man in winter clothing, sitting outside in a snowy park or boardwalk or something. Under each arm he’s holding a beautiful white medium haired cat.

They say a week is a long time in politics, so anything could happen! But if a week is full of opportunities to turn things around it's also full of opportunities to step on more rakes. What exactly has changed about Starmer lately that implies he'll stop stepping on those rakes anytime soon?

I live in the UK and get most of my reading done on public transport, I understand a lot of American cities are impossible to navigate without cars though. I wonder if you can track a correlation with cities like New York having higher literacy rates than LA as well as better public transport?

...yourself, would these heroes of our past accept the genocide in Gaza? If Manchester wants to keep branding itself as a progressive, even radical city, it must stand for such things alongside its sorrow at the attack in Crumpsall. /fin

Had a point to make about the hypocrisy of calling the march for Palestine this weekend 'disrespectful' but thought better. As a Manchester native, go to Lincoln Square and see the statue commemorating the workers who put down tools in cotton factories to damage the slave trade in America and ask/1

your core users are people who have already demonstrated a willingness to abandon a more popular social media site for another, in the most part for disliking the politics of the people who run it. write this on a big whiteboard somewhere in the office

hiiiii here’s a comic i made about having a job and being overwhelmed (1/7)

comic cover!!! featuring the main character, Dina, looking nervous and sweaty. She’s a young woman in an ill-fitting work shirt and pencil skirt with her dark hair tied up in a bun and bangs pinned with a dog-shaped clip. Some sort of ominous shadow looms over her. Text reads: FELT BAD, MET GOD by molly kate young (aka longfusilli) (aka ME!!!!)

Great blog! The point about the Beowulf-esque human culture at the end stood out to me. I feel people just take the assumptions (including how humans should be) of the fantasy meme sphere and operate within it without any curiosity about how it got that way, that it even can or should be different!

From the even-more-occupied state of Magnolia Keep comes a high-octane blogpost about humans! Specifically, how you shouldn't just say "They're humans, they're adaptable and ambitious!" and call it a day.

Through gritted teeth I am forced to hand it to Jude Doyle, who wrote a very good analysis of the ghosts haunting music criticism's past and present. Also apparently we both like EMA.

Any analysis of far right radicalisation in the UK is incomplete without knowing that:
1. The gutter press has been pushing this sentiment for decades longer than Facebook has been a useful tool of recruitment.
2. The points on which these neo-nazis and the press agree TODAY is anti-trans policy.

Inside the everyday Facebook networks where far-right ideas grow

The Guardian spent a year studying an online community trading in anti-immigration sentiment and misinformation. Experts say such spaces can play a role in radicalisation

Transition timelines were inspiring to get started but demoralising to judge myself besides. Talk to the people around and see what they say. Probably could've put it in fewer words to start with 😅
