I've finally reached the point of no return with AI. I can barelly respond politely when someone suggests using AI for everything and anything, and, to be honest, I can no longer take anyone who uses it seriously.

Thank you for calling the lesbian line d'Elizabeth Lovatt

It's a great book that contributes to the work of remembrance, celebrating the everyday lives of lesbians, because our identities are not only shaped by great events or historical figures.

Feminists encourage you to leave your husband, kill your children, practise witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become queer by Alex Tamécylia

Feminists encourage you to leave your husband, kill your children, practise witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become queer by Alex Tamécylia

The title is by far the best part of the book. Emptiness with a nice ribbon.

Le coût de la virilité (litt. The cost of virility) by Lucile Peytavin

Very light. After a (too) long introduction that goes off in all directions, the calculation is interesting, but... that's it. Once you've “calculated” the figure of €95.2 billion a year, what do you do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In my history in February 2025

I've run out of superlatives to describe what Trump and Musk have (un)done in just a few weeks. And above all to describe the general apathy, the lack of reaction to the fascism that is on the rise, everywhere, all the time.

Rape culture, or why I'd rather meet a bear than a man if I'm ever lost in a forest

In theory, everyone is against rape. In reality? Sexual violence is minimized and victims become the suspects while excuses are made for the attackers.

Oz

The best series I've ever seen, by far. It's mature, incisive, addictive, violent (in every sense of the word, you have to be ready to take it in the face and the feelings), without any taboos, very well acted, very well written, it's... more than TV.
