The irony that the BBC blurred out the Protect the Dolls slogan on a Strictly contestant’s tshirt for their social accounts as “political” but will happily dedicate a two-part doc to the woman who uses her billions to fund lawsuits to persecute transgender people www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Heartbreaking. All those idiots who ask “why do we still need Pride?” This is why. Rights are never settled. They must constantly be refought. It’s why I get so angry at the transphobes who are doing their damnedest to push back to clock.

Have had that horrible experience of being asked to change the briefest paragraph in one of my books so a particular foreign publisher could avoid arrest in that country’s massive LGBTQ+ crackdown. I had to decline and therefore not be published - you don’t negotiate with tyrants - but what a world.

I know it's a proper "Old man yells at cloud" situation, but we live near a college and the kids frequently use our garden and car park as a cut through at the end of the day and it's really pissing me off.

Hooray Hamish Linklater had turned up in Widow's Bay. He's always excellent in everything. He's great at being weird creepy intense men.

Your regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria. And when I emailed the Tavistock adult GIC to inform them they could take Alice off the waitlist, because she’d died by suicide, they never replied. It’s a disgrace.

We watched a fantastic film last night called Buffet Infinity. A horror told entirely through cheap local commercials and news reports. It was really effective. Great balance of comedy and horror. If you liked Welcome to Nightvale, Unedited footage of a bear & Too Many Cooks you should check it out

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

Any recommendations for really scary horror films to watch over October? Gimme your favourites! We watched one from one of those "Top lists of genuinely scary films" last night called The Deep House, starring Mick Jagger's son, and it was, unquestionably, pure shite.

The death penalty is state sanctioned barbaric murder & cruelty. It's not about "justice", it's about making someone suffer. If you truly believe in civilised society then "They did it first!!" isn't a defense. We need to be better than the ones we judge, because if not we shouldn't be judging them.

Very happy to see Daniel Thomas (not gonna call him by his stupid nickname) has been arrested. I'm sure it's just a temporary slap-on-the-wrist for him but I'm glad something's being done, at least. Even though he'll use this to make himself a martyr to his idiot followers, I'm sure.

I made a music video for “Apathetic Blues” about our strange habit of carrying on while quietly ignoring the increasingly enormous problems around us. It’s bleak, a bit silly, & entirely made by me. No AI was used in the music or video. If you like it, please watch and share youtu.be/5hZJERKIvN4
