These ID cards, if introduced, will also absolutely be used to further that awful, bigoted new guidance about trans people not being allowed into public toilets in the UK. There are so many reasons to be against them. I've signed, & if you're a UK citizen, you can, too.

One more follow on my crowdfund campaign will get me to 50 and fix my back* 🙏 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t... *Well, it'll make me feel happier!

I like the weird and the niche. Experimental is hit or miss, but I love that there are still people exploring the space outside of the mainstream.

Hey! I have a short story in this. If you're not subscribed, why not? (If not, it'll be online in a while, but subscriptions keep magazines alive.)

The updated COVID/histamine link thread because people keep tagging me in to explain it and I keep intending to update the post from 2023 (synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/805203.html) and just not having the capacity because of my own health shit so here is a thread I can pin

We raised $30,000+ this week in direct aid for 10 families in Gaza City who needed transportation south and funds for tents and essentials, due to the IOF invasion. Help us double that amount to help 10 more families evacuate, including two pregnant moms: chuffed.org/project/gaza...

If you like this kind of thing, I also have a video where I read out the prologue of my dark fantasy, Imbued. Which was a shorter endeavour for sure! 😅 #BookSky #scifi #fantasy #audiobook www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmhl...

Kobo stopped giving me personalised recommendations so I guess I'll be buying less books spontaneously.

Moon Reads: Jupiter Nettle and the Seven Schools of Magic, a cute read about finding your own magic and voice.

Mornings are feeling frosty but the sun drives away the cool air by noon. Whether you're cozying up under a plaid inside or want to read outside, this cozy bundle has the perfect comfy read/game for you! itch.io/b/3282/cozy-... 💙📚

The playbook is Palestine. Always been. If the fascists can convince you to look away, to stay quiet, to weigh the odds, to hesitate on speaking up -- about literal genocide -- the fascists can get away with anything. All they have to do is lie loudly, retract quietly, and do crimes relentlessly.
