Hi, I'm Heather Burns

The Prince, The Paedo, The Palace, and the “Safety Tech” app

the other Turing test

At last, a wonderful day in Parliament.

Ukraine, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, America

The Darnella test of social media and smartphone regulation

The worst fucking app idea ever

Resistance honeypots

2025’s best reads

My top achievement for 2025

Throwing the Flying Spaghetti Monster at the Wall

Time to start de-Appling

Footnote privacy? Footnote privacy!

Democracy and the open internet die in daylight

Surveil and segregate and suppress and snitch

Speculative Legislation

Banned Books Week 2025 / nothing new under the sun

The dog that caught the car

The littlest eye

You have a stake in reading this

Queen of the hill

Make Your Basket

Art break: Favourite Darkness

Art break: secession resurrection

Art break: “Archives”

That would be me

Emptying my Pocket

Somehow, that Home Office campaign got even worse.
