Buying eclipse glasses now knowing full well I will be returning them to amazon next Thursday.

Went down the National Railway Museum today with the youngest, which gave me cause to see our old friend the Bulleid Q1, The Engine With Magnificent Tits

While I have your attention, due to the portrait of Turing on them, I have been trying to nickname £50 notes 'an Alan' for a while now. Please help me to get this to catch on. 'They're £20 each,' you could say, 'or, special offer, I can do you three for an Alan.' Thanks in advance.

"Being trans is sad Being trans is horrid." Shut up. Being trans is great. Look. I've got inner peace and a fucking scythe.

Today at the convent: the nuns have been teaching me to scythe.

I wonder why it is that many struggle so with dating. Perhaps I should start an online university

While on a date I was commissioned with the rescue of a little boy’s toy, stuck in a tree branch. His mother said ‘i think you’re the only person here tall enough to do this’. Whole thing looked like i’d set it up

Stumbled out of the woods into - genuinely - the largest gathering of Dads I have ever seen in my life

sudo su would be a beautiful name for a woman

the way ppl talk about us sometimes reminds me of that bit in alan partridge when he tells lynne that technically her life isn’t worth insuring lol

good: I'm on a date with two beautiful girls bad: they're both compiler engineers and are now drunklingly rambling about "effects systems" and "trait solvers"

AI is robbing you of the opportunity to make this instead

The next time you consider making a flier with AI, please also consider that the most intriguing ad I’ve seen this week is a garage sale sign made of particle board with spray painted writing that reads, “GOOD SHIT —>”

This is like going back to when checking your email was fun and exciting, except for phones

Finally someone is talking about this.

On the Monday of EMF at 4am I walked into null sector GTN for the last time. Walked into the middle of the dance floor picked up the two faxed protest signs from my set and said my thank yous goodbyes. 🥹 EMF is a special place. We must bring EMF to everyday life as much as possible.

Had tears of joy in my eyes walking back to my tent after the last rave at #EMFcamp. EMF is magical in a way that I struggle to put into words. For four days I get to be my nerdy, queer, dog self and hang out in the most creative space I've ever known. I feel incredibly blessed to be part of it.

You're out of your skull if you think I'm spending a single second of today soaking chickpeas that I need tomorrow

Oh #emfcamp, I love you so much.

I'm surprised this isn't covered by Martyn's law, a bit of white ticker tape is not sufficient hostile vehicle mitigation.

Given the news from Berlin yesterday I can't help but think for London Trans+ Pride next year they need to close both lanes of Regent Street rather than leaving the Northbound open to traffic, honestly I was surprised it was still open tbh.

And that's the whole damn problem. We can have 150k people marching in 30°C weather and maybe The Indy and Evening Standard will say anything. We'll get more coverage in *foreign media* than our own. That's absolutely criminal, and it's a big part of why our rights are in decline: we have no voice.

it was admittedly quite embarrassing to realise that i was literally re-enacting the “goth glowsticking to Thomas the Tank Engine” meme but i was having far too much fun to care

if anything, i've found that the quality of his posts have gone down over time, i call this "doctorowification"

There is nothing better in this world, NOTHING better, than seeing your friends growing and thriving and serving absolute cunt as they do.

I appreciate the amount of effort boop went to at the last minute for these signs.

When the only printer you have is a fax machine that takes PDFs but you need to rotate and crop an image.

Me: it's very simple, you download this random APK, then you edit the text, then you print it as a PDF. Then you rotate the PDF in your mind. Then you screenshot it, then you rotate it on your phone, then you print the photo as a PDF, then you log into the website, then you send the fax to the fax..

EMF set pictures have come trickling back through and this silly succubus is looking great 🥰

I have never, ever seen the EMF team this energised so soon after the event. People are already seriously planning 2028. Slightly terrified. Mostly in awe. #emfcamp

These signs were made because I asked on my set description for people to make silly bangface style signs. EMF attendees delivered once again. 🥹🥰 I love this festival it's my favourite thing. EMF is the little festival that could 🥹
