Whenever you reference the Code of Practice, it’s worth including a link to *this* equality impact assessment, which sets out just how grim this policy of trans exclusion will be for so many. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Remember that classic old saying. "Lose a game of football against Argentina? Buy loads of books from Big Green Books."

TFW you waste an entire month watching soccer and then it comes down to Argentina and Spain

I was always gonna boycott the Harry Potter TV series but I would urge anyone on the fence to stop engaging with the franchise as long as JKR is using her proceeds to fund her continued attacks on trans people and allies. Reheated nostalgia slop just isn’t worth it.

Telemundo just called David Beckham "Spice Boy"

Okay, fair

Dear followers, We’ve gotten some feedback from Puffin about our book, The World According to Sharks. We’ve sold…ok numbers of copies so far. They’d be happier if we had some nice reviews on Amazon which gets us more notice. If you’ve bought a copy from Amazon and liked it, writing a review 1/2

This was sweet and funny and I loved the grumpy dragon

Okay, today’s been a lot of posting about trans issues. Tough. My loved ones are under attack by extremely well-funded bigots. Raise your voice, if you can, because it’s the decent thing, the moral thing, the right thing. History repeats itself unless we force it not to.

I just finished reading Heartstopper vol 6 and I am _feeling some feelings_

We'll be opening late today. We are doing a special book fair this morning. ❤️ Why is it special? It's a free book fair. Every child should be able to own books, and should be able to choose their own books. This morning, every child in a local school will be able to choose a book to keep for free.

how I'm tryna be

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

1) The entire history of women's sport has been men trying to prevent it. 2) Homophobia and especially transphobia always, ALWAYS correlate with misogyny, and cis women who can't see that are turkeys voting for Christmas.

deeply annoying that creative breakthroughs don’t come on schedule from direct work but from things like “open-ended conversations with interesting people” and “doing nothing”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

On my 1/2 hour (11 mile) drive yesterday, I counted 6 water leaks. 4 of them sprayed to fix, and yet water running. Enraging.

would v much be interested in filling my East London sports pub (Stratford) with women/nb/queer people for the next few World Cup games if anyone would be interested in our currently quite free table ressies (fiver per four seats, goes to CALM charity)

Lots of ugly all around us pals. Hope you can pay attention to it all, can't ignore it, and still remain beautiful. Especially in mind, soul & spirit. Family sends good energy to anyone who wants or needs it. Love you all. Hugs 🩷

Nice work, everyone! Keep it up!

Evenings and Weekends, a book about a heatwave 😂

Reading (& loving) Nonesuch by Francis Spufford, borrowed from the library after seeing @alomshaha.bsky.social rave about it. I'm really getting into grownup books lately, there's some good stuff out there y'know 😅

a thousand monster / dinosaur / megafauna movies since Jurassic Park have tried and failed to replicate its magic, but the thing Jurassic Park understood is that we aren’t just hooked by the Big Toothy Creature, we’re hooked by the moment a crotchety old grump rediscovers his sense of wonder

Alt text: the book on the left is called “The little prince” (by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) and the book on the right is called “The prince” (Niccolo Machiavelli). 😆😆 #BookSky 📚💙

In this conversation, I haven't seen anyone talking about fucking "lexiles", and how kids are told to stay within their assigned level. Read easy for fun? No! Bad! Read hard bc interested, or for a challenge, or for spite? Also no! 📚

Can @countbinface.bsky.social do something about all the ai being used to promote him? Just put a message out about how environmentally shit it is, how it's built on theft, damaging creativity and putting people out of work. Plus it gets his outfit wrong.

my god, this is amazing. apparently from a NY Times interview with Neill and Goldblum. Resharing with alt text so everyone can enjoy

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

I’ve been looking forward to this week. I’m listening to @ronanhession.bsky.social’s Leonard and Hungry Paul then watching the TV adaptation on BBC iPlayer. I’m half an hour into the audiobook and adoring the titular characters’ friendship. John Hopkins’ narration is wonderful.

Just sharing this again at a time of what's happening in Australia. In Event Horizon Sam Neill requested that the Australian flag on his character's uniform remove the Union Flag from the corner & for it to be replaced with the Aboriginal flag, the way he thought it should look in 2047

Happy Monday! I'm readingThe Passengers on the Hankyu Line by Hiro Arikawa, which is really good so far.

I am halfway through The Colour of Magic. (Team Pleasure to Have in my Class 😉)

Me: Okay brain! I notice you're having a little bit of anxiety about things that are out of our control! Brain: Aaaa Me: *coaxingly* Which is making it hard to sleep?? What if we acknowledged that we can't control everyth -- Brain: Aaaaaaa Me: ... and... and we... Brain: AAAAAaaaaAAAAAaa
