I've finally picked up on Chapter 2 of #Catwoman 'I've Got my reasons' one of many poor, neglected #fanfictions. Starts & ends with classic BatCat badinage with lots of Selina being a magnificent bastard to people who absolutely deserve it inbetween. #batman archiveofourown.org/works/501784...

Cat and Bat, from Batman: The Rebirth #50.

In a court in Scotland right now lawyers are aggressively cross-examining trans people on the very concept of transness and apparently that's fine. We are an inch away from trans people being legally erased. Fight.

Ms Cunningham suggested the medic was asking Ms Peggie to "submit" and say she believed that Dr Upton was a woman which they "both know to be false".

"We don't both know that to be false," said Dr Upton. "I know it to be true.

This Byline Times story on Farage pictured with far-right activists has not been picked up by any established media outlet - including liberal/democratic/left publications. Why? Because people like being comfortable in their own power and status. The newspaper I edit will keep sounding the alarm.

Oh, Hush is important, no question about that. And as a Very Silly Romp that crams practically every Batman trope into its storyline-sorry, ‘storyline’, I can see the appeal. But quality-wise? It absolutely IS rubbish. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. But some very fun set pieces.

One of my Twitter creeps trying to make ‘news’ out of me but I do love a teachable moment 🧵 Yes, boys, I have indeed linked the anti abortion movement to fascism, because it is very much linked to fascism. For a start, the Nazis banned abortion to force German women to breed for The Reich.

Screenshot from a Christian Institute article saying I’ve linked the anti abortion movement to facsism. Which I have 🙌🏻

The daughter’s currently obsessed with Lilo & Stitch: The Series. It’s a relentlessly grim saga in which a wee girl is repeatedly bullied by an objectively awful little shit & her equally vile friends then gaslit by the surrounding adults into believing it’s all her fault.

It’s a good point. I didn’t like it much, so wouldn’t be the audience, but you’d have to think it would be worth a punt. I wonder if it’s because of how the production ended up, with it leaving WB?
