Mixed feelings on the Spoutible Survey. It doesn't have the nuanced answers I want to give.
Particularly on the sexually explicit content thing. I don't personally want to see it - and I think it should be opt-in - but I have no objection to it either.
So what's my vote? What does "allow" mean.

The transphobic convulsions about Melbourne Nazis have been both entertaining and educational.
They seem to be split evenly into three camps:
1. We agree with Nazis, and we're ok with that
2. They aren't real Nazis, it's a false flag
3. Whataboutism
No sign of introspection or condemnation

A BBC reporter in Bakhmut. More flavour than substance but it does give a glimpse of how things are going.

Who here is interested in following a process thread of a new commission I’m working on? A #PaintalongaBen if you will?
Tough. I’m doing it anyway. Follow the comments for progress.
Step 1: prime a plywood frame with texture paste. This is going to hang in a pizza shop, so needs to be hardy. #art

Jamie Lee Curtis addressed gender-neutral categories while director Daniel Scheinert blasted anti-drag laws.
(also that EEAAO is a fantastic movie if you somehow missed it go watch it)

So, we have what is essentially a strike at the BBC over free speech.
It's really hard to guess what happens next, but does anyone dare to try?

I finally got around to watching the first few episodes of The Peripheral last night - really good so far. A new twist on some old ideas, and it is executed very well.

Every year MP Jess Phillips reads out the names of UK women killed by men.
Each a tragedy.

This year she included a trans girl. A brave step towards inclusively from someone who has a poor record on trans rights in the past.

Playing the #Terminator #RPG this evening. Both missions so far have been a Skynet trap - does anyone want to bet this one is too?
(The game does seem to involve a lot of running away from overwhelming odds!)

After posting Robert F. Sargent's photograph taken on D-Day, with the title 'Anti-fascists disrupt a white supremacist gathering,' I felt compelled to explore the story behind it.

I'm playing my local #magicthegathering store championship this evening.
The format is #mtgpioneer .
My decks are in the poll.
I will ignore the result and play what I want - but what would you play and why?
