Reposted by Rubydarrensilk3.bsky.social @darrensilk3.bsky.social · 27/08/2026The genuine lack of inquisitiveness of the media as to the background to events and how they actually occurred and what the long term implications and context is, never ceases to amaze me. These were some of the fundamental and first things we were taught about uni in writing and in studio classes. 4596

Ruby @cardinal-bin.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Back in my early 20s I tried to write fiction. I wrote dozens of drafts, hundreds of pages of digital notes, even more scrawled on paper. Then I tried to write an RPG. More notes, more drafts. I'm on to game dev now. More notes, & now code. I have realised that maybe my hobby is just... Typing!? 000

Ruby @cardinal-bin.bsky.social · 20/05/2026There is no way to see this other than as an attempt to entirely keep us from public life. Because what trans woman would use men's toilets?

Ruby @cardinal-bin.bsky.social · 07/05/2026What horrifies me most about this is that the UK government in 2029 may have only 25% of the vote. 25% of the vote can win a majority in FPTP. A reasonable system would produce a broad left coalition, there's a majority there. Instead we will get Reform. We NEED proportional representation. 153
