You live in Bath? Or just visiting? I bought my first ever home there in 1982... £14k for a studio flat... and then spent several of the happiest years of my live living there. <sighs in nostalgia>

Have always understood that communicating by means of "sticky messaging" is a good strategy... The fact that i have just submitted an expense claim with treacle stains on it is, however, wholly unrelated to the above!

Well, this is a rabbit hole (ooer!), and no two ways about it. As a journo who used to write about this stuff, i tried to dig deeper. Nada! (Yet). But it turns out that sex arses made headlines earlier this year, when the British army banned them. Allegedly! www.pressreader.com/uk/sunday-sp...

So, kemi wants folks to associate he, reputationally, whose single major project, after the Conquest, was taxing the English people... ...and who, when some northern Englishes objected, carried out a genocide on the north of the country (Harrying of the North).

Except there's a good chance this one is true. There was a noted legal case (maybe 2000s, maybe earlier) over the import of sex toys which customs & excise lost, because eu. So, would be very like them to get their revenge once they no longer had to abide by eu regulation.

Mine hunts socks... knickers, t-shirts, basically anything not nailed down. He then carts each item off to a corner in the lounge, there to curate his trouvaille pile. I tell him he's a twat. Twat cat. It makes little difference.

So. I was today years old when i discovered you could buy a 'cat wrestling glove,' aka 'cat rough play glove' (ooer, missus!) TLDR: this guy loves to play, to pounce... but doesn't know how sharp his own claws are. I need protection. #NorwegianForestCat #cats #catsky #catcanoe

And an unapologetic rapist to boot. Like, there was a time when admitting to that might have made someone unelectable...

Whereas, as i post elsewhere on this thread, the lesson from the uk legal system is the exact opposite. I'm less well acquainted with the US, but suspect its not much better over there!

Then, in October 1977, a judge let rapist Maurice Markham off with a slap on the wrist and a six month sentence because... "It would be a shame for the country to use your services." Maurice was in the navy.

Ah. Turns out it was june 1977... so not my first. The perpetrator was Thomas Holdsworth, and three appeal court judges knocked his sentence for sexual assault down from 3 years to 6 months in order to protect his "promising army career." Yes. A judge said that!

Anyhoo... here's a quick piece of mid-week trivia. And, as further evidence that left and right oft meet around the back, which famous gender crit said the following? No cheating, i.e., no googling! (other search engines are not available for this quiz)
Text reads: “So, our women’s movement is for us not something which inscribes on its banner as its program the fight against men, but something which has as its program the common fight together with men.”

More to the point, this seems to back up findings that right-wingers demonstrate less ability to do 'integrative thinking.' Complexity hurts their brains, so they like a world in which everything is black and white. Sometimes near literally!

Oh. Who knows what goes on in the minds of these twerps! I am tempted to troll her saying how glad i am that she sees trans women as women... because she is posting that "men can't breastfeed". Yeah. Like, thicko, or what?

Does she actually care? She is on here, with a timeline full of "i'm just the way i am, so the rest of you can go fuck yourselves." Super anti-trans.

Oh, dunno. Just came across a guy with a Facebook profile that asks: "am i a racist?" Look at his pics... just four... including one cover photo that just happens to be a 30s painting best known as "The Aryan Family." Suspect he's trolling. The person you cite? Either trolling or stupid.

Anyway, if you'd not heard of this series, and you like Fantasy, do try it. If i've said something dumb, do tell me (sure you would anyway). Likewise, as the author is @'d in to this, feel free to tell me i didn't get it. Enjoy.

Sadly, i doubt it will ever make a great film. Too much internal monologue and, if i have a criticism, it is that the woman at the centre of this is so goddamn angry the whole time. Maybe Channel 4 would consider it...

It is a demand to all those casual readers who like to immerse themselves in an alternative world and requires that they explain the morality they are engaged with.

jane fae #facciamorete #antifa @janefae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Examines, too, the morality of magic, and the dark underside of what it costs to the individual to wield it effectively. It is not... a parody. A dismissal. Or a plagiarism. Rather, it is a response, and a question.

jane fae #facciamorete #antifa @janefae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Superficially, it draws many of its themes from those used by the Dark Lady. But it goes much further... is overall far darker, far more grown up. It examines the morality of an elite (wizards), who effectively live by leeching off the 'mundanes.'

jane fae #facciamorete #antifa @janefae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Anyway, i am coming late to this - only discovered this author recently when, having read all the crime fiction i could get my paws on, i turned back to Fantasy - and apologies to all who got there before me and can't understand why i think i've done a new thing. It is an impressive achievement.

The one where young wizards happily witness violence and death..., and then pop down to the local pub for some 'butterbeer' (whatever the feck THAT is). Nope. I'm talking the Scolomance trilogy by US author @naominovik.bsky.social

...and where all the wizarding establishment is out to get them? Like, what's not to like. And no: i'm not talking "The Worst Witch," which arguably kicked off this whole narrative in recent decades. But i'm not talking THAT universe, either...

jane fae #facciamorete #antifa @janefae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Controversial view? Read on... But might it be past time to rehabilitate the school for wizards trope? Yanno. The one where a highly talented young wizard goes to a school where everyone wants to kill them, where there's a tainted prophesy about what they will do...

This, approximately, was: just what sort of world would it be if EVERY young man who did something like this was excluded from employment and had their life ruined? Now, run along...

Being young, and having a father who sometimes did police work (he was a gp), a senior police officer took me aside to explain all this. Patronising. His tone very much he understood my anger... but i needed to get the "bigger picture."

It never changes. I am getting on in years. The first ever political action i organised was c.1972 outside a UK Court (Birmingham), where a judge had just let a young soldier off rape with a 6 month sentence. Why? Any more and the army would have had to let him go. His career would be ruined!

Not sure what the point of that interview was. Government announces concept of a plan. Nice. BBC decides that going full attack mode on the thing that's nowhere near the table is a valid thing to do. Like i said: this was not remotely journalism.

jane fae #facciamorete #antifa @janefae.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
And just when you think it couldn't, it got worse. No actual plans on the table. But a phone in for folks to blether about how to fund them. Personally, i blame the producers!

Utterly appalling. Just listened to Jeremy Vine grilling a labour spokesperson on Burnham's care plans/guarantees. Very clear this is at drawing board stage. Yet the persistent demands for specifics were both obtuse and rude. Not journalism. Just bullying.
