Imagine writing a romcom about a horrible man being worse & worse and giving yourself eighteen pages (of comics) for the HEA. Who would do that

The bigot Bridget Phillipson chose this hatemonger despite the Women and Equalities Committee and the Joint Human Rights Committee recommending against her because of her bigoted views and her lack of experience outside of fighting sexism. The government chose this hate and disinformation.

Love to be living in end stage capitalism, on benefits, with the least sought-after PhD I could have done. Even the dept I studied in has basically gone and what with comics being the complete arse-end of the rapidly diminishing Humanities, I may as well have gone to clown school 🤡 #future-proof

This is a great piece, well sourced and well written. That said, it's beyond sad that there isn't a version of this written by a man and citing only men, because everything said is demonstrably true, and everyone should just be accepting it as true.

I mean I've been mitigating a lot of Things That Happen In My Brain by using ADHD coping strategies. Getting a diagnosis would help me feel more secure in knowing what's going on in my head. It would explain things. It would give context for my life so far. It would help me understand myself better.

Category Is Books had their windows smashed again. Donate to support them if you can www.gofundme.com/f/categoryis... #categoryisbooks #glasgow #queerbookshops
Four panel comic. 
Panel 1. Image - a cartoon dog like character wearing a striped jumoer and blue trousers reads a purple book beneath a book opened like a pup tent. There is a flag that reads Category Is Books. There are five stickers: hope will never be silent, trans liberation nkw, queer queer queer books, fiercly independent and Daniel Quasar's Progress Pride Flag
Text - There is a steady rise in violence...
Panel 2. Image - the character stands looking forlornly at the book tent flattened on the ground, the stickers torn, the flag crumpled.
Text - against LGBTQ+ folk and their spaces. When it happens...
Panel 3. Image - a group of cartoon creatures help to put the book tent back up. One sits atop the spine of it holding the 'Category Is Books' flag aloft. Speech bubbles read "stronger!" "Queerer than ever!" "More Book!" 
Text - our community rallies. And when it happens...
Panel 4. The book tent it restored. The cartokn creatures sit on top and inside it, reading and having lively conversations. The flag Category Is Books flies proudly again.
Text  - i wish we didn't have to. I wish we were already safe.

And they're right. The new guidance is the clearest and shameful example of how Labour are the most anti-queer government in my lifetime — a lifetime where I was educated under Thatcher's original Section 28 and where I now see my younger niblings educated under Labour's New Section 28

...... The problem being, right That It's entirely possible to interpret this as purely illustrative. An embellishment, a romanticisation. Yknow, as artists we all do it. BUT The way that it is written communicates a certain sincerity that makes me think that this person actually believes this.
