The 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.

By refusing to stand beside the Count at the count, Farage demonstrates that he is not only a snivelling worm, but also a coward.

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

On the 5th August, the EHRC's Code of Practice becomes statutory guidance. It will make life even harder for many trans & non-binary people. It's unworkable & harmful. The Good Law Project is challenging & wants to hear from people affected by these exclusions. goodlawproject.org/discriminato...

The equalities minister has ordered the government’s harmful code of practice will apply from 5 August – we’re pushing back

This idea only sounds insane until you think about it for a second. You adjust your alarm clock, then you get used to it. The only part I wouldn't personally like is that the date would change at a different time. It's less fun staying up until 00:00 on NYE if that is in mod afternoon.

Back 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!?

A social media ban - like a drug ban - turns the focus to better enforcement of the ban, rather than any efforts to meaningfully improve the underlying issues at play.

There 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? It's quite often the case that there is no third option, our choices will be either break the law or put ourselves at risk of sexual violence.

If you were in any doubt about whether you should get out and vote, but you don't want a Reform council... VOTE. Reform are in a clear lead among those certain to vote, they will be there.
A chart plotting self described likelihood to vote versus voting intention. Green lead on the lower end of the likelihood - i.e. those least likely to vote are most likely to vote Green, Reform lead among those certain to vote, and Labour lead for those giving 8 or 9 as their self described likelihood (out of 10)

What 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.

This shit made me sad and angry in a way I have not been in a long time, and that is a good thing. From my position of relative privilege as a wealthy-ish, white trans woman it can sometimes be easy to just live my own life and not worry about things. But sincerely, I hope to change that now.

Queer folk who use "it" pronouns, I have always seen this as "it/its", which doesn't follow the subject/object form of e.g. "they/them"... So what is the appropriate object form? Still "it"? This or that?

This is a good question to address, actually. There's often an intuitive assumption that when a country runs out of money, its war effort will grind to a halt. That's how households and (sometimes) companies work. But those assumptions are really frequently frustrated - countries can push on.
