Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social

and I am listening along with the episodes as I read the books. It's been wonderful to listen in to the "book club," so to speak, of a storyteller I admire :)

The Family Tree is one of my favourite podcasts ever made, and when I finally got around to reading the Moomins this year a little memory pinged in the back of my mind and I thought, "Wait, didn't Dave Pickering do a show about the Moomins, too?" And to my joy it exists ++

Another bonus episode of The Podgoblin’s Hat is out! Wow! We are really spoiling you. I suggest really basking in it because looking at my summer schedule it’s going to be a while before the (already completely recorded) next season of the show comes out: podfollow.com/the-podgobli...

If the right (or anyone actually) were serious about young people and sexual exploitation they might vocally support youth services and RSE. The cuts to both of these since 2010 have been destructive. *crickets*

I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people. Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.

It’s been my tradition to do twitter threads about what I’ve been up over the last year - mostly work and creative projects, things I’ve read and played. Because of the fragmentation of socials, this year I’ve done that as an olde worlde blogpost: martinzaltzaustwick.wordpress.com/2024/12/27/2...

My book asks 'what can consent do?' Increasing consent increases our capacities to act and thus enjoy things more. Everything from sharing a pizza, watching a movie, to sex. It's how we deal with power and also how we get free. The drawings are cute too. www.bishuk.com/can-we-talk-...

not an expert in economics but I imagine the rational way to bend this cost curve is to deny protection to any executives who have engaged in behavior that puts them at risk of class warfare, sort of a pre-existing condition clause but for profiting off the suffering of the masses

Young people in West Yorkshire feel there is a “class ceiling” and “a lack of support and guidance” preventing them from building successful creative careers. 83% believe that not having industry contacts would hold them back. We can make a difference! arts-emergency.org/west-yorkshire

Arts Emergency is ready to launch in West Yorkshire!

This winter, we are looking for 25 new Bursars to fund the creation of 25 mentee places in West Yorkshire. There is no greater way to pass on your privilege!
