Boycott the World Cup? Absolutely not. Instead we will go there and use our presence to highlight the issues and hold power to account. But only if they let us, and no one feels uncomfortable, and we don’t actually have to do anything.

Wearing one was an easy gesture that externalised homophobia and transphobia as something bad that only really happens in other countries. Now we know general solidarity with LGBTQ people extends to the limits of “not watching football” and “maybe getting a yellow card”

My hot take is that not wearing an armband is a more meaningful political gesture than wearing one because it highlights just how limited real solidarity for LGBTQ people is in English society, rather than making a vague gesture about homophobia being a “foreign problem”

In February 2021 I wrote a piece for Octopus Deploy called "How SpaceX obliterates its competitors and redefines space travel". I was wrong about many things. I've asked the team @OctopusDeploy to take it down. Sometimes the stuff we write just doesn't age well. #Learning

You are not going to like my answer, but it is the path of least resistance for me. I post *everything* first to my website, and my website handles syndicating it to Twitter and via ActivityPub.

🖊️I write about tech, mental health and other things on my website: https://localghost.dev I write intentionally and openly about mental health, burnout and other things, as I think we have a habit of glamourising “hustle” and working all hours even when it’s making us miserable. I want to normalise talking about mental health matters and putting your wellbeing first.

Every November 20th, I play Celeste until I reach the memorial. After dozens of playthroughs, I still cry when I see it. I almost perished on the climb, but I made it. Others weren't as lucky. They deserved so much better. (Art by u/PeliPal on Reddit)

The posts that are like “instead of fixing Twitter we should rebuild irl communities” are so funny. Like I’m going to walk into a community hall and say something like “need me a caked-up shawty with autism” and immediately walk out

full quote is "Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, vox populi, vox dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.” it translates to: "Do not listen to those who say the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the tumult of the crowd is always close to madness."

I keep saying this: TikTok/Reels/video is not a *social* media, it’s *gig* media. It’s Uber for Entertainment. Gig workers “creating content” with no union benefits or regular hours or clear employer. The rest of us watching the videos are the riders, not drivers.

The Joe Lycett money shredding thing is fascinating. It’s great publicity for what he’s trying to draw attention to. If he’d spent that money on PR no one would have batted an eyelid. But rendering money useless is hard to contemplate.

I’d like to point out that despite all of us knowing that a content moderation council and a Twitter poll is not a wise way of controlling rhetoric and protecting people, I see this behavior a lot in tech. Racism and sexism and all the isms continue because “majority rules.”

I was fired from Twitter this morning because during a code review, I had a procedure called "upDo.g" and when Elon asked me "what's upDo.g?" I said "nothing much, what's up with you." He walked away and then my badge stopped working & security escorted me out of the building.
