Know your enemy, certainly. But understand the conditions that allow your enemy to flourish. Defeating the symptom while preserving the disease is merely administrative housekeeping.

2026-11-09T11:50:23Z

I find the argument that AI is merely a tool, and that we should simply regulate copyright and the associated problems, extraordinarily convenient. It neatly sidesteps the rather uncomfortable question of what this technology is actually built upon and whose livelihoods are being sacrificed to make it profitable.

Adorno wrote: "There is no right life in the wrong one." I think that is particularly relevant here.

We are talking about an industry that has built its business model on appropriating enormous quantities of human intellectual and creative labour, frequently without consent, compensation or acknowledgement. And then, having helped itself to that work, it turns around and develops products specifically designed to replace the very people who created it.

Think about the sheer obscenity of that arrangement. Your writing, your translations, your illustrations, your music, your intellectual labour are taken without your permission, fed into a machine, and then used to manufacture a product that competes with you, undercuts your prices and helps put you out of work.

And we are supposed to call that progress?

I am a translator. I am already experiencing the consequences. This is not some abstract philosophical disagreement about the future of technology. It is my profession, my income and my ability to make a living. I am watching a market that once valued human expertise increasingly being flooded with machine-generated output, while the people whose work helped make these systems possible are told to adapt, retrain or simply accept the inevitable.

Forgive me if I find the suggestion that AI is just a neutral tool somewhat difficult to swallow.

Copyright regulation is necessary, but it is nowhere near sufficient. You cannot launder an exploitative business model into an ethical one simply by introducing a few rules about licensing and attribution. The underlying economic logic remains: extract human labour, concentrate ownership, eliminate the cost of human workers and privatise the profits.

Yes, tools can be used for good. But that observation is not a universal moral exemption for the industries manufacturing them.

The question is not whether AI can be useful. The question is whether we should accept a technology whose commercial success is increasingly measured by how effectively it can replace the people whose accumulated work made it possible in the first place.

I refuse to regard the destruction of people's livelihoods as an acceptable collateral benefit of technological advancement.

And I refuse to be told that I should celebrate a machine being trained on my profession while that same machine is being used to make my profession economically disposable.

There is nothing inherently progressive about taking people's work, turning it against them and sending them the bill.

There is no right life in the wrong one. And there is certainly no ethical technological future worth having if it requires making the people who create human culture, knowledge and language expendable.

🐙 Sunday philosophy has arrived!

This week: Adorno and Horkheimer, the Frankfurt School, and the rather inconvenient question of how civilisation managed to industrialise barbarism.

Why progress doesn't guarantee enlightenment, why efficiency isn't justice, and why the machinery of domination keeps getting a fresh coat of paint.

A little critical theory for your Sunday evening. With awkward questions and absolutely no soothing conclusions.

Capitalism has somehow convinced us that being exhausted, frightened about money, and too busy to enjoy our lives is the natural condition of adulthood.

Remarkable propaganda. Terrible product.

2026-10-12T12:19:58Z

The British don't speak German like that.

Translation isn't just about precision. It's also about audience.

A British character in a German translation often doesn't sound British. They sound like a German person's idea of a British person. The same goes for Americans.

German audiences have cultural expectations about how British and American people speak. They expect certain rhythms, certain jokes, certain kinds of politeness, a particular flavour of sarcasm. And translating dialogue means navigating those expectations without turning the characters into cultural caricatures.

You can't solve this by sprinkling well, mate and bloody hell into German sentences and calling it a day. That's not localisation. That's a fancy dress party.

You have to understand what the dialogue does. How a British person uses understatement. How an American expresses enthusiasm. How politeness, humour, irritation and intimacy work differently across cultures. And then you have to find a way to make those things work for your audience without losing the character in translation.

Sometimes precision means preserving the unfamiliar. Sometimes it means adapting the expression so the audience experiences the same effect. Knowing which is which requires judgement, cultural knowledge and a rather good ear.

AI can produce German words that look perfectly plausible. But plausible isn't the same as authentic, and fluent isn't the same as culturally convincing.

A translation doesn't just carry words from one language to another. It carries people across cultural borders.

And people are considerably more complicated than dictionaries.

2026-10-07T06:47:12Z

One of the things AI translation is spectacularly bad at is character voice.

A character in a novel does not merely say things. They have habits. Favourite turns of phrase. Odd little colloquialisms. A particular rhythm. Maybe they are dry, breathless, pompous, tender, sarcastic, provincial, flamboyant, or gloriously weird.

AI tends to turn all of that into statistically plausible soup.

A human translator can look at a character and think: No. This is how this person talks.

And then recreate that voice in another language without losing what made it theirs in the first place.

That is what translation is supposed to do: change the language while keeping the person.

This is one of the reasons I am still fighting for human translation, especially for literature, science, and all the wonderfully strange things that deserve better than AI slop.

And yes, I am still trying to keep my little human translation business afloat. 🌱

A little piece of political writing for your morning coffee, because apparently queer people existing peacefully is now a full-scale cultural offensive. ☕🐙

I wrote about victim-blaming, the strange conservative habit of experiencing queer existence as an attack, and that beautifully imaginary golden age when queer people were supposedly accepted right up until we became “too visible”.

Spoiler: that golden age never existed. It was mostly just silence, discrimination, and better camouflage.

2026-09-11T05:01:50Z

This post starts with a warning. A terribly important warning that you probably don't expect, at least not from me. But hear me out:

Trans people are extremely fucking dangerous!

We are dangerous in the way that a cat is dangerous to a carefully arranged bookshelf.

We are dangerous in the way that a question is dangerous to a very bad answer.

We are dangerous in the way that a tiny stone is dangerous to a machine designed on the assumption that nothing will ever get stuck in the gears.

We are dangerous because we demonstrate something profoundly inconvenient:

the boxes are not laws of nature.

Someone drew them.

Someone named them.

Someone decided who goes where.

Someone built an entire social architecture around pretending that the boxes had been handed down from the heavens, carved into the chromosomes, engraved into the bones, and personally notarised by God.

And then along comes some queer little creature with purple hair going,

“Hmm. I don’t think this box fits.”

Catastrophe!

Civilisation trembles!

Someone phones the newspapers.

Someone demands a parliamentary inquiry into the alarming existence of a person who bought the wrong socks.

Because gender, apparently, is supposed to be terribly simple.

You are assigned a category.

The category comes with instructions.

The instructions come with expectations.

The expectations come with consequences.

And everyone is supposed to nod politely and spend the next eighty years pretending this arrangement was inevitable.

Except humans are gloriously terrible at obeying arbitrary rules forever.

We transition.

We question.

We experiment.

We refuse.

We discover ourselves.

We change our names.

We change our clothes.

We change our pronouns.

We change our lives.

And sometimes we look at a rule that has been treated as sacred for centuries and say:

“That’s a funny-looking rule.”

This is where things become politically inconvenient.

Because patriarchy doesn't merely say that people have genders.

It says gender tells us who should lead, who should obey, who should provide, who should nurture, who should speak, who should remain quiet, who should be powerful, who should be pretty, who should be tough, and who should bloody well know their place.

Authoritarian religion can turn that into theology:

Someone else gets to tell you what you are.

Capitalism can turn it into administration:

Someone else gets to categorise you, market you, insure you, employ you, regulate you, and sell things to you on the basis of that category.

And authoritarian politics can turn it into a particularly ugly little demand:

Stay where we put you.

Trans people answer:

No.

Not because every trans person has read Gramsci before breakfast.

Not because we have all assembled a revolutionary committee beneath the local kebab shop.

Sometimes we're just trying to figure out why our reflection looks wrong.

Sometimes we're just trying to survive.

Sometimes we're just trying to buy a fucking skirt without somebody writing a newspaper column about it.

But our existence nevertheless demonstrates something revolutionary:

identity is not necessarily obedience.

And once that idea exists, you can't put it neatly back into the box.

Because someone else starts wondering:

Why do I have to be this way?

Who said?

Why?

What happens if I don't?

Who benefits?

And why does my freedom make you angry?

Oh dear.

There goes the furniture.

The great secret is that rigid systems don't necessarily fear the individual.

They fear the example.

One person stepping outside the line proves the line can be crossed.

One person surviving outside the category proves the category wasn't the universe.

One person refusing their assigned role creates the horrifying possibility that other people might realise they have choices too.

And suddenly the problem isn't:

“What are trans people doing to society?”

The problem becomes:

“Why does society require everyone to be this particular way in the first place?”

That is the dangerous question.

So yes.

I was wrong.

Trans people are dangerous.

We are dangerous to compulsory conformity.

Dangerous to inherited hierarchies.

Dangerous to authoritarian certainty.

Dangerous to the idea that bodies come with political instructions attached.

Dangerous to the notion that identity is something assigned once, stamped on the forehead, filed in triplicate, and never questioned again.

We are dangerous because we keep demonstrating that human beings are messy.

Wonderful.

Contradictory.

Uncooperative.

Impossible to sort perfectly into little administrative boxes.

And if your entire social order requires human beings to remain inside those boxes forever, then perhaps the existential threat isn't the person climbing out.

Perhaps the existential threat is the fact that the box was never the world.

It was only a box.

And somebody just opened the lid.

Sorry about that.

Well.

Not that sorry.

2026-08-17T21:04:55Z

I want a society designed around people.

Not quarterly profits.
Not shareholder value.
Not “disruption.”
Not making some tech bro with a rocket fetish another billion richer.

And certainly not teaching human beings to arrange their lives around whatever algorithm happens to be hungry today.

Technology is a tool.

A magnificent one! Give me solar panels, open-source software, accessible public transport, robots doing the filthy and dangerous jobs, libraries full of knowledge, green cities, beautiful trains, community gardens, and machines that quietly make everyone's lives easier.

But the question should always be:
“Does this make human life better?”

Not:
“Can we monetise it?”
Not:
“Can we automate it?”
Not:
“Can we scale it to infinity?”

And definitely not:
“Can we make people click on it 47 times before they can see the thing they actually wanted?”
😌

I don't want a shiny dystopia with better branding.

I want technology serving people.
Cities serving communities.
Economies serving human flourishing.
Humanity living as part of nature rather than treating the planet like a particularly inconvenient warehouse.
Build things that help us live.
Build things that help us care for one another.
Build things that give people more time to be alive.

And if your business model requires everyone to be miserable so that you can become a trillionaire…

Darling.

Perhaps your business model is the thing that needs disrupting. 💅🌱

2026-08-07T14:55:05Z

There is a reason I take the endless stream of anti-queer slurs, lies and accusations seriously.

Stochastic terrorism is when people in positions of influence repeatedly spread hateful or dehumanising rhetoric about a group, creating an environment in which violence against members of that group becomes more likely - even if they never explicitly tell anyone to attack.

And yes, this can and does include state actors.

Calling queer people “groomers”, “predators”, “degenerates”, “child abusers”, or some other invented monstrosity is not merely “words”. When those accusations are repeated often enough, they manufacture a target. They tell the public who supposedly deserves suspicion, hatred and punishment.

Words become permission. Permission becomes action.

That is why “it was just a slur” is such a grotesquely inadequate defence. A lie repeated often enough can become a weapon. And when powerful people keep handing that weapon to an angry crowd, pretending not to know what might happen next is simply dishonest.

We should take the words seriously, because history has shown us what can follow when we don't.

2026-08-07T11:07:01Z

Just two examples of what I am dealing with on that other “social” network I sadly need to be a member of.

This is gay people trying to eradicate trans people from queer history — while apparently also appointing themselves the Supreme Court of what “normal-looking” gay men and lesbians are. 🙄

And yes, history has an ugly little lesson here. In the Weimar Republic, there were gay men who were deeply attracted to nationalist and later Nazi ideology, including people who were quite happy to distinguish themselves from the “wrong sort” of queer people. Respectability, conformity and throwing other queer people under the bus did not make them safe. It did not save them.

So when I see queer people trying to scrub trans people out of Stonewall, Pride and the history of our liberation, I pay attention.

Because this isn't merely about the past.

They want to erase us from history because they want to erase us from reality.

And finally, can we talk about the “kiddo”, “child”, “babe” routine?

A grown man disagreeing with a grown person and immediately reaching for infantilising language to establish dominance is not exactly a revolutionary new contribution to human civilisation.

Isn't that just typical fucking male behaviour? 🙃

2026-07-26T17:14:57Z

Society is starting to look exactly like what happens when we spend decades treating STEM as the only path worth investing in, while sidelining the humanities.

This isn't a criticism of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. We need them. Desperately. They should be well supported.

But we also need philosophy, history, literature, languages, ethics, the arts, and every discipline that wrestles with what it means to be human. We need people who can understand the human condition, recognise propaganda, interpret context, think critically about power, engage with complexity, and ask not only how the world works, but what kind of world we ought to build.

A society built only to solve technical problems eventually forgets how to solve human ones.

Yesterday, queer people were attacked. One is dead. Many are injured.

Today, the ghouls crawl out on schedule.

They laugh. They celebrate. They joke about corpses and broken bodies. Under their real names, no masks, no shame. Hate has become so normal that they don't even bother hiding it anymore.

Imagine being so morally bankrupt that your idea of humour is a murdered queer person (or an immigrant, a Muslim, etc.)

No. These people didn't appear out of nowhere. They were cultivated. Excused. Platformed. Told they were "just asking questions." Told their bigotry was "a valid opinion."

This is where that road leads.

So don't ask us why we need Pride.

Ask yourselves why so many people have become perfectly comfortable cheering when queer people bleed.

I am home and safe. Not everyone else is.

One person is dead. At least 16 others were injured. A peaceful and happy night was brought to an abrupt, violent end.

This is what happens when relentless hate and constant dehumanisation spill over into violence. A car becomes a weapon. A knife comes into play. People who were simply celebrating Pride become victims.

Whether through words, intimidation, or outright attacks, queer people are reminded again and again that public spaces are not equally safe for us. That is a reality we cannot afford to ignore.

And this is exactly why we need Pride. As visibility. As solidarity. As defiance. As a promise that we will not disappear.

2026-07-21T20:57:21Z

Deep into the middle of society, many people genuinely believe that age checks for social media, or even for using computers in general, are a good thing because they "protect the children."
(note they use the same argument for everything, see: trans rights, censorship, etc)

That isn't wisdom. It's either naïve or deeply stupid.

And it reveals a familiar centrist habit: a profound misunderstanding of what's actually happening, wrapped in a comforting sense of moral superiority.

These are often the same people who insist that left-wing activists are "just as bad as Nazis." The same people who tell you mass surveillance isn't a problem if you have "nothing to hide." The same people for whom democracy begins and ends with casting a ballot every few years, while activism, protest, civil disobedience, and organised dissent are treated as nuisances rather than essential parts of a healthy democracy.

Authoritarianism rarely arrives wearing jackboots.

More often, it arrives dressed as "common sense," asking you to surrender your rights for your own good.

20 July always brings the annual canonisation of Stauffenberg. And every year, I quietly step aside.

I don't really do heroes wrapped in aristocracy, ideas of a military ductatorship, and a vision of Germany that had precious little room for democracy or human rights. Opposing Hitler, important as it was, does not automatically make someone the kind of person I want to celebrate.

If I am to remember German resistance, my thoughts turn first to Georg Elser. A working-class man who, long before the tide had turned, acted because he recognised where fascism was leading. No title. No uniform. No dream of restoring an old order. Just the courage to risk everything in the hope of stopping catastrophe.

History is full of resistance. I simply choose to honour the kind that also dreamed of a freer, more democratic future.

I was supposed to nod.
To take the deal.
To play it safe,
smile tight,
stay grateful for scraps.

I was supposed to say yes.

Yes to the job that guts me.
Yes to the rules that erase me.
Yes to shrinking
until I disappeared between invoices and shame.

But I didn’t.
I said no.

And god, it tasted like oxygen.

No to your deadlines.
No to your dress codes.
No to your passive-aggressive policies
written in suits and spit.

I said no,
and the world didn’t end.

It cracked open.

Turns out
saying no isn’t weakness.
It’s birth.
It’s the first word of building something better.

You don’t own me.
Not my body,
not my time,
not my rage.

You don’t get my back bent.
You don’t get my silence.
You don’t get to call me broken
for not fitting into your machine.

I am not broken.
I am unfitting on purpose.
And that’s power.

There’s joy in this.
In saying no and meaning it.
In walking out of your office,
your church,
your family dinner,
with my head up and my spine intact.

No is not bitter.
No is not cold.
No is holy.

No is the beat in the protest song.
No is the breath before the first brick flies.
No is survival turned sacred.

I don’t owe you sweetness.
I don’t owe you comfort.
I owe myself the truth.
And today, the truth is:

No.

No to your world
built on obedience and debt.
No to your cages
painted as careers.
No to your love
that comes with conditions and curfews.

I’d rather be alone in the open
than safe in your lie.

So here I am.
Not asking.
Not apologizing.
Laughing.

Louder than I was ever allowed to.

2026-07-12T12:12:56Z

One of the greatest achievements of feminism was teaching the world that women are more than their bodies.

Women are not wombs. They are not vaginas. They are not chromosomes, breasts, hips, fertility, or the ability to bear children. Womanhood has never been reducible to anatomy.

Feminism fought against exactly that reduction. It challenged the idea that biology determines destiny. It insisted that women should be valued for their humanity, intellect, agency, and lived experience—not for the body parts society assigned significance to.

Which is why I find it so bitterly ironic that TERFs, who claim to be feminists, have returned to defining womanhood almost exclusively through reproductive anatomy and assumed physical characteristics.

Reduce a woman to her womb? Feminism rejected that.

Reduce a woman to her vagina? Feminism rejected that.

Tell women their bodies determine who they are? Feminism rejected that too.

Whether a woman is infertile, post-menopausal, has had a hysterectomy, was born with differences in sexual development, or is a trans woman, reducing her to a checklist of anatomy is not a feminist act. It is the very essentialism feminism spent generations dismantling.

TERFs may call themselves feminists, but defining women by their reproductive organs is not a continuation of feminism, it is a return to the biological essentialism feminism has spent decades fighting against.

Equality has always meant seeing the whole person.

Not just the body.

2026-06-15T16:59:24Z

One of the stranger habits on parts of the left is assuming that disliking the United States automatically means praising China (by which I mean China mainland).

No.

You can oppose American imperialism, support strong public services, believe in solidarity, collective solutions, workers' rights, and social democracy without pretending China is something it is not.

China is a dictatorship. It suppresses dissent. It persecutes trans people. It runs concentration camps. It runs conversion therapy camps. It threatens its neighbours and behaves as an imperial power in its own right.

I say this not as an armchair commentator. I have helped people escape China at considerable personal risk (mostly for them). We have paid a price for that work. We have literally lost people. We are losing people every day, to the camps and to disappearance.

The goal is not to swap one empire for another. The goal is a progressive, liberal, democratic society built on human rights, freedom, solidarity, and dignity.

China is not the model.

P.S:. Stand with Taiwan. Stand with Hong Kong. Stand with Tibet and the Uyghurs. Death to all tyranny! Let freedom reign!

For most of us not belonging to this group, the presence of police means that we will be and have to be very careful.
