Mosquito bites and sunscreen really add to the sensory overload don’t they.
This is not just summer - this is neoliberal inferno summer.
Jay Hulme@jayhulmepoet.bsky.social · 7h ago"oh it's the SIXTH heatwave this year" says the news. Like, when it's the sixth heatwave in two months, isn't that just one great big heatwave? It's not even rained in between them, there's just been a single tolerable day and people are like "Well that's the heatwave over!" Are you insane???
Safely home - my feet are killing me. I may spend tomorrow in bed.
Jo The Bewildered 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🎓@smoljomusic.bsky.social · 22h agoDelayed at Lille. Some fuckwit trying to take *checks notes* a shell onto the train. I mean I don’t want to get blown up but FFS….there is even a No Ordinance sign.
I really need some well cushioned lightweight trainers or some walking sandals that actually fit. My feet are killing me.
Hello London you dirty old gal. Love ya. I may move away one day but I will never not love this city.
People sell battlefield tourists shells. Which they can’t take on the Eurostar. Humans can be really stupid.

badly drawn bee 🐝@soapachu.bsky.social · yesterdayTbf my pet theory is that if you're wearing hi-viz (and especially if you're carrying a walkie-talkie) you can pretty much do anything you like without question
In episode #1034 of wHY ArE sO mAnY peOPle BeINg diAgNoSed ND- Rock music in metro stations can fuck off.
I usually use frozen peas. Seriously considering getting one as an alternative.
I have walked a lot in the last couple of days and I am now in absolute agony because I just haven’t yet been able to purchase a decent pair of walking sandals to fit my stupid feet. I am with someone six months older than me who has a much better working body than mine.
I am so over this fucken’ weather. Six weeks of no rain and every single day is above average temperature. 27C feels like a reprieve. The companies and billionaires that profit from this can burn in hell. Along with the governments that failed to act. Failed to regulate.
Oh *that* feeling. That slight lifting feeling as the Gs start to pull. Train a Grande Vitesse. Wheeeeeeeeeee!
The voice in your head ever start talking in someone else’s voice? Cuz mine done start talking like Jacob Anderson as Louis De Pointe du Lac.
Minor anxieties about forthcoming trip to France. - I am not elegant enough for this. I am a short rotund easily overheated enby goblin. - it is not appropriate to take a book about the battle of Poitiers with an English hero. But it is what I’m reading and I CBA starting something else.
Looks at the weather forecast. It’s never going to rain again! How can I possibly maintain sufficient levels of Britishness if it’s not a cold damp breakwater off the coast of Europe. If I cannot complain about the rain. Who do I send complaints to…. ☔️
It is so much fresher today. A pleasant summer day. With a cooling breeze. Might put on some sunscreen, a hat and take my walking boots for another spin.
It is not AI (LLMs) that I fear. They’re new tools that may/may not be powerful/useful. It’s the indifference engine that surrounds it. Indifference to intellectual property rights. Indifference to the impact on the planet. Indifference to anything other than the enrichment of tech cos and bros.
Assessment in arts and social sciences in UK Higher Education. Back in the day you threw a bunch of essays at the wall and hoped something stuck. Feedback was a bunch of ticks in the margin and a B++. Conversations about how you might do better were met with a smile and “you’re getting a 2:1”.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · last wk.Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
I have been in the workforce full time for most of the last 30 years. Not only can I imagine not using AI, I remember fax machines.
Charlie Stross@cstross.bsky.social · last wk.My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
Malicious compliance. The two genders - with urinals and cubicle’s only. Let chaos reign. (And as always - disabled people already face exclusion from many spaces due to lack of accessible toilets. Loo justice for everyone).
Did the phone call without procrastination. Go me.
Jo The Bewildered 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🎓@smoljomusic.bsky.social · last wk.Well tomorrow will involve phoning a Midlands Magistrates Court and telling them they’ve written to someone at my address who has 100% never lived here. I opened it because it’s deffo my address and I’ve been through so many rounds of identity theft that I protect myself by opening stuff….

I’m beginning to think that the thing I wish most hard on the right wing is irrelevance. Firstly - I want them out the way so that we can fix the shit they broke Secondly - they’ll haaaaaaaaate it.
The fact that someone has died doesn’t negate the consequences of their actions in this world. I can feel compassion for the loss to those that loved them *and* also be clear sighted about what they did and the effect it had. No automatic right to hagiography and no need for critics to be cruel.
Accidental harmonic slip into the bridge of Stella By Starlight. (I’m going with it because that G7 chord with the flat 6/ augmented 5th is phat).
A random charger for a device you once owned.
'Box ✨@ionawonderbox.bsky.social · last wk.A random loose screw that fell out of something and you are not sure what.
I couldn’t resist this t-shirt design from the Wildlife Trust.
