While politicians & the press SHOULD have been talking about rent price gouging, water companies polluting our rivers while extorting its customers, mismanagement of tax payers money through pandemic & beyond, child poverty, underfunding & devaluing the NHS, they actually focussed on women’s toilets

If you're able to, please donate to or otherwise support and boost trans-led, inclusive organisations. Things have been getting steadily worse for trans people for a long time and yesterday's shitty ruling will accelerate that. Trans people need our support.

Today's the final day to make our voices heard against the government's proposed plans to allow AI developers to steal our work for use in training their AI systems. It's theft, plain and simple, but you can object by filling out the IPO consultation. Guidance here: theaoi.com/news/the-cop...

I'm very excited to read this debut younger fiction from Eric Huang (writer) and Phùng Nguyên Quang (illustrator)! Banging first page where the Jade Emperor is bored cos he made earth and...now what? Reading on asap! @littletigeruk.bsky.social I'm not sure if either of 'em are on here?

My hand is holding up a copy of Guardians of teh new moon: Ming and Miaow's great race, written by Eric Huang, illustrated by Phùng Nguyên Quang. The illustration shows a kid with fox-red fire in her hair that implies she might not be fully human. By her side runs a grumpy looking black and white cat. Behind the is a long blue dragon with big eyebrows and at their feet runs a little....I think it's a mouse but it might be some other rodenty critter.

We don't seem to be taking this seriously enough. And it's not enough to say "just publish good books" - we do that...loads in fact. We have to make sharing books then reading books independently not just a 'nice' thing but a vital thing. Like "5 A Day" did for healthy eating awareness.
