Hey do you like long form storytelling? Do you like your sci-fi slightly quirky? How about character driven? Did you ever enjoy Hitchhiker's Guide, Doctor Who, Sliders? How about Quantum Leap's blend of Physics with spirituality? Do you enjoy laughing? Go check out Midnight Burger podcast.

I suppose it's a small town and i do dress an awful lot like this
Pokémon Go screenshots showing "Whimsical Fury and Flapple"

Flapple is a small dragon made out of a sentient apple (Pokémon are so weird) 

My avatar is a curvy white figure with short purple hair, a yellow Pikachu t shirt, black skirt, pink ripped tights, yellow converse and a Golbat bag. It's holding a teapot and teacups.

I'm thinking about the awful parallels between "Asking for it", a work of fiction, and the narratives being built around the victim of the Cornell case. And I'm sitting down to read Mohammed El-Kurd's Perfect Victims.

The same year i wrote that, Louise O'Neill's harrowing "Asking for It" came out. It's about a schoolgirl who is subjected to a gang r*pe while wasted at a party. The main character is hard to like. She's an unreliable narrator of her own psyche. It's a difficult, but important, read.

There's not even a pattern, like check shirts all uploaded at the same time, only one goes and it's the one from a budget store; one geeky dress goes within 5 minutes, the other gets 100 favourites but no-one buys

Contrary to their public statement, HOPE not hate can exclusively reveal that Kent Police were tipped off about the Patriot Platform mobilisation – and seemingly did not act on the information.

As a Dover resident, I cannot stress how much these people are not polite. After the last "protest", one of them was stomping through the town chanting about finding "leftie queers" to "bash". 2pm in the high street with kids around.

Two tier policing. Arrest retired folk peacefully protesting genocide in Gaza. Allow right wing thugs to block streets and ports. I know which group presents the real threat to democracy and the so-called “British way of life”, which these vigilante bullies preposterously claim to be defending.

As recent as last year, more people in the UK wanted to bring back the death penalty than didn't. Some things shouldn't be decided by popular opinion because popular opinion is sometimes just wrong. We need to end the idea that "popular" means "correct" & that "expertise" means "biased"

There's this concept in Feminist Theory called Marked/Unmarked. Women are marked. Men are unmarked. In plainer English: women are the exception; men are the default. Notice they never want to preserve men's sport from trans men who are literally controlling the amount of testosterone they have.

Sometimes society at large rejects certain ideas because they’ve been thoroughly shown to be wrong and also because they suck and the people who espouse them suck and when someone comes around arguing those ideas should be part of some edgy modern debate we can and should shun them and move on.

the most mediocre of men turn to white supremacy because they're mediocre and cannot accept it, therefore they must find reasons outside of self reflection to explain why they've been cheated of greatness

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
