Having to resign from a BBC science show after 16 years and 33 seasons, for not being a transphobe is where we are as a country.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I know i share my Ls a lot but jfc normally I am good at cooking potatoes but you'd be forgiven for not believing me since this will be the third Event where a normally fail proof recipe has somehow gone horribly wrong. At least today has reached "merely Okay" vs inedible but 💀💀💀

My scholarly monograph on Roman sex workers and matrons has sold more than twice as many copies as Nuzzi's book.
I love when a big, super-hyped book sells 1,200 copies. Every indie title I've ever been involved with has sold more than that.
“American Canto,” one of the most hyped political books of the year, flopped in bookstores.

I’m sorry, I know it’s supposed to be a very serious and good movie but I can’t read “Hamnet” without picturing a “Muppet Show” parody of “Dragnet” where all the characters are pigs.

Landmark legal decision has affirmed that Canada owes a legally binding fiduciary duty to provide adequate on-reserve housing.
The ruling is being viewed as a huge victory for more than 100 First Nations across the country.

Another #painting "Mellows Bridge II". Because of Arran Quay with the church of St Paul and the Bank of Ireland building. And the Four Courts dome. And I still like what used to be our Central Bank. But Mellows bridge is really what this painting is about. I think it’s a beauty. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

4️⃣ If the point is to “delay access” NZ needs real investment in digital literacy.
This means a wide, well-funded education campaign for parents and communities (not just pamphlets or websites)
Think SmokeFree NZ in the 2000s.

3️⃣ A ban blocks access. It does not address harm.
Online harm comes from platform design, governance failures, and adult misuse.
An isolated ban will not change platform behaviour.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.
