It's my season 🥳👻🍄🍁🎃 thus my wonderful wife always does me a Halloween advent, and the first presentation made me laugh so hard.

A small Hessian pouch with a bat hanging from a branch on the front. Stuffed into the pouch is a fuzzy mummy shaped notebook that has only the head fitting into the pouch and the body comically sticking out.

Managed to get over to Category Is and got a very good haul. It was nice to see the place full and everyone nattering.

A pile of 5 books and one oracle deck. Including the graphic novel Orlando illustrated by Jules Scheele, Julie takes a breath, Homosexual Intifada, Unsuitable by Eleanor Medhurst, Red and the Wolves and the oracle deck Queer Animal Oracle.

After the windows got put in a second time, today i go passed and someone has put cute messages in post-it notes over the damage. Its really lovely. Fascism has nothing for this kind of gesture <3

Photo of the shop window of Queer bookshop "Category is Books"
The glass has been smashed in two places. Someone has placed brightly coloured post-it notes with affirming messages all over the damage in support of the shop and staff.

I dunno, do you think maybe a Labour Party who proscribed people holding signs opposing babies being targeted by an apartheid state might think about proscribing a men's group who are demonstrably putting lives at risk? The dithering from Labour on this is a choice.

Further to this, the Dem House candidate for my ruby red rural district I vote in has full throated support for trans folks, including the repeal of shitty laws my state passed. He likely won’t win because of gerrymandering, but he didn’t throw me under the bus to try and chase unwinable votes.

For me there is no mystery to these people. I grew up in a street with plenty of them, where the British National Party felt confident enough to visit our doorsteps. There is no dignity to their hatred and it has been indulged far too long. It has already cost us enough time, enough lives. Enough.

This is hilarious. The EHRC are meeting in Glasgow now and are too scared to come outside to get lunch because a group of trans weans are protesting outside. The EHRC had to get 70 pounds worth of dominos pizza ordered instead and I know because I've literally seen the receipt myself.

So many people here with knee jerk demands for police to use new powers to arrest every member of this vigilante group for wearing a mask, seem unaware these powers have overwhelmingly been used against antifascists. People who have lots of good reasons to wear a mask, from health to fear of doxxing

Sobbed big globs of snot into my mask at the Scissor Sisters gig when they sang "I'm going home" for Dolly and Tim. I hate being genuinely moved because it ruins the reputation I have meticulously built up as a hard, old, scary dyke, who chews on the bones of men.

They're re-running the smacking bill bullshit playbook for the conversion therapy bill in England. Reads like a Daily Record editorial.

A flyer claiming that "Under the Conversion Practices Draft Bill parents can be criminalised, facing up to 5 years in prison, if they wish to help their children understand the difference between female and male, girl and boy."

"Ada, 4, loves nursery and the climbing frame, where she climbs highest in class, but struggles to sit still. Her teacher has convinced her she must be a boy, as only boys climb and cannot sit still.
The draft Conversion Bill allows the teacher to accuse Ada's mum of conversion practice for telling Ada she is a girl."

"Clare rings her mother from university and asks "Am l a woman?" Her mother replies "Of course you are." Clare's best friend overhears and believes the mother is trying to make Clare deny her transgender identity.
Under the Draft Conversion Bill the friend can report the mother for abusive language."

"Naomi, 13, feels she is trans' and asks her mother for money for a breast binder. Her mother knows she is distressed by her developing breasts (and comments from boys at school) and would like to discuss Naomi's discomfort with her breasts instead.
Is this coercive control? The draft Conversion Practices Bill would let Naomi claim it is."

"Hayden, who is autistic, lives rent-free with his mum and spends all his time online. He begins identifying as a 'trans girl' and occasionally goes out dressed up in female clothes. His mum checks his browser history, is horrified, confronts him and tells him to get a job.
Hayden reports his mum for using economic pressure as an abusive conversion practice."

As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew.
