You can now scan Substack for Al text. This is the result from my latest essay. Fully human written ⭐ like everything I write. By subscribing to my Substack, you support my work in a world of Al slop. I also write interesting stuff about tech bros who want to live forever. emilyehoyle.substack.com
Spotted It's On You and I was intrigued. A critique of nudge theory by the very academics who made careers in behavioural science. Even advising the coalition government. Reading this insightful review from @duncangreenlse.bsky.social, has managed my expectation. blogs.lse.ac.uk/activism-inf...
Two interesting books I spotted at RHS Wisley today. An Almost Impossible Thing: The Radical Lives of Britain's Pioneering Women Gardeners by Fiona Davison and Wildly Different: How Five Women Reclaimed Nature in a Man's World by @sarahjlonsdale.bsky.social. Both added to my "to read" list.
My friend (@tobiasa1994.bsky.social) gifted me these awesome anti-AI stickers after my talk about tech elites last night. #AntiAI
I am thrilled to be the next speaker for pub/lic(k) by JWLLRS, the alternative art school in Morecambe. pub/lic(k) is an informal space for critical discussion and at 8pm on the 20th of July I will take you into the transhumanist imagination. free to attend, please share www.j-e-w-e-l-l-e-r-s.net
Reform are not your friends (from Tiktok @wheredoducksgoinwinter)
Fatboy Slim at the Carnival Against Fascism in Brighton ✊ this is the British spirit to me @hopenothate.org.uk #antifascist
I think the way the BBC discusses immigration and equality plays a part in the legitimisation of the far right. Once again I'm hearing the Today Programme on Radio 4 establish the riots and their prejudices as "real concerns." So I'm again sharing @trillingual.bsky.social's book, Tolerate This.
Today I had flat white with a robin fledgling, it was lovely.
We need to talk about where the reproductive politics of pronatalism is actually leading us. Read my essay here: emilyehoyle.substack.com/p/male-seeds... #culturalcritique #transhumanism #pronatalism #socialcommentary #independentwriter

The @nytimes.com just published an article titled "Jeffrey Epstein’s Sperm May Have Survived Him". In my January Substack I discuss Epstein's pronatalist vision of the "male seed" and what it tells us about power and elitism. Read it here: emilyehoyle.substack.com/p/male-seeds... #Substackwriter
Ideas of "bodily perfection" in elite sport have always been questionable (just look at the history of sex testing) but is the Enhanced Games taking it to the next level? My latest Substack dives into why the Enhanced Games is selling an imaginary future. 🔗 emilyehoyle.substack.com/p/selling-lo...
At the Enhanced Games longevity was the real winner. Subscribe and Read: emilyehoyle.substack.com/p/selling-lo... #EnhancedGames #Transhumanism #Longevity #TechBros
Bank holiday weekend and I finished Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke.
What if marriage is a curse? In an era of Tradwives and obsession with "the one," Netflix’s Something Very Bad is Going to Happen is the perfect horror for our time. Flipping the dream wedding into a nightmare. Read 'Are you sure he's the one?' on Substack emilyehoyle.substack.com/p/somethingb...
I wrote about the "immortality bus" and the true crime story of the volunteer who was abroad. You can read my latest deep dive into the weird world of transhumanism here: emilyehoyle.substack.com/p/thefearofsex
Billionaires when they see nature (@pete.souvall on TikTok)
Why did Bryan Johnson recently post his partner's "perfect" vaginal microbiome score online? In my latest piece, The Fear of Sex, I go beyond the cringe to explore the cultural anxieties driving the weird world of transhumanism. Read here: emilyehoyle.substack.com/p/thefearofsex
One marathon, £3,180 raised, 646.24 miles completed overall. All for Prostate Cancer Research. You can donate here: www.justgiving.com/page/emilyrunsthemarathon
Told it was unlikely I would get a place due to the competitive nature of marathon majors. (I was told something similar about PhD funding, something else I would go on to achieve.) In life, I have found, it is always worth backing yourself.
I started running in November 2024. I had never attempted to run before. Just under a year and half since I put on running trainers for the first time I completed The London Marathon for Prostate Cancer Research. A week later, in May 2026, my name and time is in the Sunday paper. #LondonMarathon2026
An example of how the practice of witnessing is a powerful tool employed to make us believe in the dominant narrative about the technological future. The imagination is filling in a lot of the gaps here.
Hosting an event with the brilliant author of this fantastic book, The Feminist Art of Walking. Very excited!!! @plutopress.bsky.social

New Scientist spotted in the supermarket. Headlines include “how to hack your unconscious” and mind supremacy. How fantastical transhumanism may seem, similar narratives are dominant in popular science.
