Unemployed college student Barron Trump made $150m in one year. When asked about it Trump said "It's none of your business". Republicans: Silent. When Hunter Biden sold $40k worth of paintings, Republicans shrieked, investigated, held hearings and said Joe Biden should be impeached over this.

Feminism doesn't require women to see trans+ people as the enemy. For many of us, feminism has always meant challenging inequality, standing alongside people whose rights are under threat, and refusing to accept that one group's equality must come at another's expense. That's our feminism too.

“I have grown incredibly exasperated at the portrayal of ‘gender critical’ perspectives as representing all women when my feminism has ALWAYS been inclusive and intersectional.”

Looking for some interesting reading? A couple weeks ago Charlie Stross posted about space opera. I won't attempt to synopsise. It's worth the read.

Rethinking space opera - Charlie's Diary
But anyway: the space opera project has resulted in maybe a third of a million words of fiction so far, and absolutely humongous quantities of world-building work. Which is why I'm now revisiting my earlier thoughts on space opera, to try to better understand what I'm doing here.

The transphobes leading the Labour Party decided to exclude trans women from the Labour Women’s conference. In doing so they excluded a huge number of cis women also; the venue was only 20% full. Labour needs to learn that transphobia harms everyone, including cis women, & not just trans people.
Lots of empty seats at Labour Women’s conference.

Sometimes I forget that some industries go to convention panels where you talk about how to mitigate power differentials in sexual relationships so consent still has meaning... And some tell you to go to sex parties if you want to advance in your career. We are not compatible.

Pretty much what I was trying to say last week. I had to mute one thread I was in because folks kept showing up to parse things like when it is ok to sleep with an employee and how much drugs is an ok number of drugs for a stranger to be on and still pretend consent is real.

You don't have to be an activist or an expert on trans issues to know that exclusion doesn't speak for you. More than 110,000 women have already signed our letter because they want another voice to be heard: one of fairness, compassion and solidarity with the trans+ community. notinourname.org.uk

Looking forward to #Fantasycon in Glasgow. Here's my schedule and come and say hi, Around, Friday 5-6pm reading from “Terror“, Malin Saturday LAUNCH 9.00am (!!!), Orkney Wizards Tower Press Wiz-4 (“the story of my heart”) 11.00 am Death to AI Panel (Panel Room 2) Sunday am, Around #books #SFF

The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Terror
A striking book cover with the title and author name dominating.
The lettering and detail are pale against a dark and sinister red-brown. The Title is in large Victorian lettering emphasising the word Terror by size of font and red added to letters – not dripping blood! - and framed by gold. Three roundels show icons related to the book; left, a half folded cutthroat razor streaked with red, top right, pearl jewellery with three pearls and a pearl effect locket; bottom right a burning railwayman’s lamp.
The effect is striking and Victorian.

The cover of Wiz-4 a novella anthology from Wizards Tower Press
The book shows the two novellas by dividing the cover into two triangles the line being top left to bottom right corners. 
Left is Top Tips for Loving a Lizard. It shows a jolly green Godzilla holding a smaller ginger King Kong, with a big red heart. There’s a definite more than best friends vibe.
Right is Marooned off Ceres which shows a red moon, a space turtle and a female astronaut who is black. It’s not framed to feel like a threat.

One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.
A network graph visualization on a dark background showing connections between various accounts. The central, highly connected node is labeled "J.K. Rowling," with lines radiating out to many other nodes color-coded by region (UK, US, etc.). A detail panel on the right displays stats for her account, including her role as "Author & commentator," an in-degree of 153, an out-degree of 84, and 14 million followers.A scatter plot graph on a dark background comparing accounts based on "followers (log)" on the x-axis and "in-degree" on the y-axis. The data points are color-coded by region. J.K. Rowling is highlighted as a major outlier in the top right corner, possessing the highest number of followers and the highest in-degree. Other labeled points lower on the graph include various politicians, individuals, and campaign organizations.
