‘White Cat with Gemstones’ by Joseph Jones Oil and acrylic on linen, 2026

my chemical romance talking about needing another guitarist: boy I wish there was SOMEONE who could thrash his small body around and play GUITAR for our BAND with some stinky WHITE DREADS. if only there was some 18 YEAR OLD who could DO THAT. I wish he would TRY OUT for our BAND and play the GUITAR

i don't even gaf about shipping discourse because i'm a big boy and a bad person for other worse reasons but if i can be real for a moment "proship DNI" in bio means nothing to me. if you want to keep me out you're going to need to line your blog with salt and iron or rat poison or something.

actually if i were to be less flippant and more brutally honest with you all my disdain for it stems from how much of it is just a thinly veiled excuse for people to fight about their fictional relationship preferences or simply for the sake of arguing without any investment in the reality of what they're claiming to represent and then take pride in their empty, performative activism. i still recommend the rat poison though.

girl help they are calling me a pedophile sympathiser in the notes for trying to point out that being disgusted by something is not the same as meaningfully working to prevent and safeguard against it by critically engaging with the complex reality of it. can i please just have the rat poison.

Indulge me with a quick poll, lads. Explanations below if you want more details before voting

Out of the following three academic disciplines - Architecture, Construction and Environment - which would you expect to have most and least female lecturers?

Environment most, Construction least

Environment most, Architecture least

Architecture most, Construction least

Architecture most, Environment least

Construction most, Architecture least

Construction most, Environment least

Architecture: largely what it sounds like. This is the part art, part science, part engineering mashup that is training to be able to safely design buildings without getting people killed. You need artistry and creativity in abundance, but also the technical-mindedness to make sure the building will actually stand/won't turn into a death ray in the midday sun

Construction: a very broad church, as this ranges from practical building techniques through computer modelling and all the way to civil engineering. Doesn't stop at simple buildings, either - sustainable urban drainage systems, for example, come under here too

Environment: another broad church. This ranges from habitats and ecology (i.e. save the whales), to waste management and recycling, to renewable energy, to GIS computer mapping, to climate science, to water/soil testing, to sustainable development.

I'm asking because we had an email around about female staff wanted for creating a marketing piece for International Women's Day, and I suddenly realised the gender balance wasn't what I'd have expected. I'm wondering if my expectation is particularly common/unusual
