As someone who practises Zen, I have real cognitive dissonance when I hear Suella Braverman is a “Buddhist”! How? How can she reconcile the principles of Interbeing (the interconnectedness of all beings) and lovingkindness with her political beliefs and statements? Rough sleeping is “a lifestyle choice”? I’m appalled every time I see something new she’s said! #buddhism #zen #politics #SuellaBraverman

Great art, great politics, great charity being supported with the merch. Funny, disturbing, thought-provoking, self-deprecating. I feel inspired, both artistically and politically. If you haven’t already: go.

Please can we stop talking about these people’s every burp and fart? That goes for Mastodon folks too. It has big ex-boyfriend vibes to go on about Musk. Just move on. (Yes, I know: I’m doing it too. But only to yell STOP!)

I don't currently have pronouns in my biog because I'm in the comfortable position of not having a preference. I think I'd quite like neutral pronouns to be a norm. I'm also fine with any respectfully meant pronouns. It’s just something I haven't personally come to a decision on.
Mostly people say he/him about me, which I'm comfortable with but don't insist upon.
Hope that makes sense.
