Ursula K. Le Guin on her socially motivated use of genderless pronouns. Constantly, her writing and thinking reaffirm why she's one of my all time favourites.

got told i should stop drinking Fanta because it's feminine and drink Coke instead, which is masculine

Yesterday: wow, i'm feeling really good about myself. Is this the start of a manic episode? Today: *cries at tiktok on rock formations* oh yeah, definitely a hit of mania

sometimes i think about how trains get together and hold each other up and i get jealous

my friend took to me Prada and I started taking pictures of their Limestone tiling did not occur to me this was A Weird Thing To Do until faced with some slightly inquisitorial staff

Over time, I am discovering that my friends use me as their ADHD reference point "my friend with severe ADHD..." "I know someone who has ADHD bad..." It's got me feeling like the chaos goblin rolled out in school assemblies to show people what happens when you're brain is made of pop rocks

Man at the New Year's party asked me "what is a bog?" Readers, the Sprit of SciComm awoke fierce within me. To those curious, yes you *can* make peat an engaging topic even whilst techno thunders around you

Yes. Also, I feel sick thinking about the debris management that *should* happen here. By comparison, some estimates of debris totals from catastrophes: the Haiti earthquake produced around 9 million tons, 311 around 22 million tons, and Katrina around 30 million tons.

Another new entry for the lexicography of agentless genocide. Sounds like the rocks were placed there by a giant

I HAVE A REQUEST Good people, emerging from the shades of perfectionist purgatory, I have just published my website: www.simondaclark.com If any charitable soul is willing to provide a bit of feedback on the initial thing, I would be most grateful 🥺👉👈

Too many cis-straight folk are comfortable with making queerphobic comments - including self-stated allies - as part of day-to-day talk. It's easy to assume they just don't realise - & I am sure some don't - but SO many times people make such comments right until I come out to them. People know!

Not to insane-post but i forgot to take my bipolar medication recently & i've been wracked by hypnogogic/pompic hallucinations, including: - Shadow Child with TV eyes - impaled and devoured by a Silurian sea creature - Giant Pale Worm - whispers describing a drive through a dark valley

Told my friend is used to speak Mandarin (poorly but passible) They asked me to say something (they're Malaysian, and speak Mandarin) Usually, I fill out words i don't know with English. I accidentally used German. Is this is linguistic win or am I spiralling?
