Instablock of the day: person saying transgender folks won't die if not given gender-affirming care/hormones. If I have to explain why that's a daft statement to you, you're following the wrong guy.

It’s Black History Month in the US and LGBTQ+ History Month in the UK. I’m a citizen of both, and I have a book that’s both Black and queer, like me.

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

Every character in Season 5, with exception to Mrs Wheeler and Erica, became unlikeable to me for one reason or another.

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

That new trailer for "Wuthering Heights" feels like it's the romantasy-ification of film. I know nothing about the book, but the the trailer was gross. Emerald Fennel should just go into p*rn if that's what she enjoys ☆

Right now my favourite part of planning my next project is inventing useful garments for magic users to wear. Ones that will hold their weapons and arcane items. Ones that, should a fight break out, could become damaged or destroyed, and the user will be unable to replace the garment easily ☆

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged £9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but £17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

There's definitely something to be said for completing WIPs, especially when those WIPs are long projects, and not starting a new one until the last is done. But I am starting from scratch on (hopefully) my debut novel, instead of resurrecting the festering corpse of my last project ☆

In the UK, there's been exactly 11 years of legal equality in the entirety of history. And that equality has never been extended to transgender folks. Likewise, queer inclusion in entertainment as an active movement is about 5 years old in the entirety of history. If we forget that, we lose. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
