My friend wrote this on X. We're losing the meaning of language and that why we're getting all sorts of fucked up:
"It's not "bodily autonomy" if you're expecting other people to do something to your body.
It's not "bodily autonomy if the change you seek requires some kind of medical treatment or intervention, which is regulated in the way medicines are.
It's definitely not โbodily autonomy" if you're expecting other people to pay for it.
When did this concept of "bodily autonomy" become such a
misnomer?"
Discipline becomes devotion and practice becomes art

What if handwriting wasnโt a chore, but a craft? Many young people find handwriting tedious because itโs never been tied to purpose or beauty, ...
My dad's friend just told me that in 1973 he had a job in banking in the Square Mile in London, for an annual salary of ยฃ400 p.a. He says he lived well. He was suited and booted. Only thing missing was a bowler hat. Food on the table etc etc
What the central banks have done to our financial system is criminal
Damn... I need your help with this Nostriches
My poems are going to the printer very soon because the magician @Agi Choote has nearly finished casting her spells over my work ๐ช
Pretty soon they will be on @Fanfares too, thanks to @arkinox and @Shortfiat
And I've been told there might even be room for me to do a live reading of a couple of them at @Bitfest
I'm kinda bricking it because the tough faรงade is about to be levelled.
Any words of wisdom for someone who has never put herself out there like this before?

Me and @TAM | FAFO Rocks twinning with our @The Bitcoinerโs Pretties high tops last week
Which do you prefer?
The Don't Trust, Verify pair on the left, or Pill The World on the right?


Can't explain why but I love this account
Maybe because my second favourite poem of 2025 flowed from me because of this account

I didn't write this - the part that starts in bold below was written by my brilliant client Jolyon. We're Bitcoiners and Nostriches, we are on the fringe. We don't need approval, we don't need permission. Fuck the banks, fuck the government and fuck Bitcoin Treasury Companies. Let's keep building outside of their walls

Vivienne Westwood said this in 1996, and it still lands like a punch.
We talk about ๐ค๐ถ๐ญ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ all day in marketing. Brand culture, youth culture, company cultureโฆ but what sheโs really saying is that true culture isnโt built for everyone.
It starts on the fringes, not in focus groups.

Vivienne never chased mass approval. She built worlds that attracted the right kind of people and let the rest catch up later.
Thatโs the energy every modern brand could learn from.
You donโt create culture by blending in. You do it by standing for something so specific it makes most people uncomfortable.
Or as she put it:

Thatโs not ego. Thatโs conviction.
Ooof, what a word @General Ned Ludd!
