i'm not the first person to say it but it sure is fucked up how many popular video games these days are just "wouldn't it be cool if you could pursue a single career you enjoy, with plenty of time for rest, and get paid a reasonable living wage for doing so"

I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.

ed sheeran has certainly not covered himself in glory but he’s at best a miniboss here. if his concert get canceled but everyone pours into Gillette Stadium for the next pop star or nfl game, then Robert Kraft and his pals still effectively got what they wanted.

Pretty funny that Ed Sheeran seemingly only hired Irish people and yet didn't see this coming.

Did you know some olive trees are thousands of years old? Palestinians and Greeks love their ancient olive trees. Some date back to the time of Jesus. Older than the Roman Empire. And many still produce olives. We must protect our ancient trees for the next generation.

I don’t think I read to escape my life nearly as much as people assume readers do. Often I read because there’s something in my own life I can feel but can’t quite name. Then a stranger in a book says it first.

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

The hidden question behind all trans “issues” is simply this: Do you own your body? Or does the state?

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way
Screenshot from the article in the quoted post, saying "Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people.

“The general pattern seems to be that with wealth and rising power, you become less engaged with the needs of others and less burdened by the needs of social relationships,” Piff said. “Taking candy from children might be the least of our worries but it’s emblematic of the tendency to prioritise one’s own needs over those of others.”

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Dead cosmic god rising from the grave
Chronically ill chosen one
Oath swearing as a lesbian love language

Cover art:
Book cover art for Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis. The cover has two women standing against a starry twilight background with a pale sun. At the forefront Kye stands facing forward, one hand held up with a cold flame and billowing black smoke. She is wearing dark purple robes with a high color and gold accents. She has dark wavy brown hair that comes to her chin, tan skin covered in light scars, and pale gray eyes. Behind her Jude stands in profile, a head taller than Kye. She is in leather armor stamped with meadow floral designs, holding a golden sword etched with light oak leaves. Jude is white, has long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut at the sides.
She has a long scar across her nose and freckles on her cheeks. The sun rises behind her. A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background.

BASH BACK @bashback.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
We will not comply with the EHRC 'guidance', and neither should you. Take action for trans liberation.
Today, the EHRC ‘guidance’ comes into force. imposed by ministers without any democratic consent, the ‘guidance’ is a sham. ignore it.

today, many trans people will feel scared and isolated. that is what the state wants. they want us to hide, to sit passively, waiting to be saved. but there is nobody coming to save us. we will save ourselves.

that means trans people need to take action. see our action guide for advice, security info and vital info on how to bash back.

they want us to be afraid of them.

we must make them afraid of us.

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.

the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold

As Nonbinary Awareness Week comes to an end, if you're sitting on a book, comic, any kind of story idea with a nonbinary MC, and don't think anyone would be interested in it... One thing I've learned from my readers is there are people out there desperate to be able to see themselves in something.

I don’t even know what to say about finishing The Dispossessed by Ursula K Le Guin other than to apologize for not having read it much sooner. What a titanic work of imagination, intelligence, empathy, realism, physics, and it’s not like it isn’t funny! Or romantic! Blown away.
Cover of a Harper Collins anniversary printing of the book, purple cover with a subtly clever design which implies the two planets and their complementary nature. Grinklin sprawls amusingly in the background.

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

There's a reason I shout so loud about this. And it's not to distract people. It's because solidarity is incredibly important to me, and it should be to us all. I stand ten toes down with trans folks and all the multiply marginalised. Nothing less than liberation!

Maybe this hasn’t sunk in for anyone who should care but the NHS was birthed when the UK *literally had negative money*. The USA had razed us of every penny to pay for weapons to defend ourselves against Germany, Germany had bombed all our industrial sites. We still did it in 6 months. 6.

I do not understand the "fairness in sports" thing, in part because it isn't a thing, but also "fair to who" is always the question. People who are taller have an advantage in basketball. Does that mean we ban tall people? Why would THAT be fair?
