My most recent Doctor Who novel review, Deceit, is very mixed. Which leads to some interesting commentary, although I did initially start this series as a reaction to @docoho44.bsky.social's very anti-VNA comments and I don't feel I'm doing a great job defending yet🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLYm...

New TKDB protest for the 1st Nov

I first heard about Kate through her label's superb Birds of a Feather series many years ago, and was very fortunate to have one of my albums released by her in 2014; seeing her reaching increasingly wider audiences like this is utterly wonderful!

Eight years ago, FSOL released an astonishing triple album of '90s style ambient techno, minimal glitchy electronica, and piano-led modern classical music in collaboration with award-winning composer Daniel Pemberton. Here's a(n annoyingly hissy) video about it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmkk...

Private Eye nailing it again

@whatupwidat.bsky.social hey you, hope you’re well. Got a lot to say, if you’re alright to listen, give us a follow back. Totally understand if not. xxx

My dog passed away this week. Here is an album for her. There's a remix of a track FSOL named after her and seven new pieces. There'll be a few 10" lathes. enofa.bandcamp.com/album/farewe...

Labour are not for the elderly, sick or disabled, the homeless, low paid families with children, and they’re definitely not for the working class. youtu.be/UWcddtfV-_E?...

Trans people in the UK had their rights cancelled in the click of a finger because of a campaign of fear, hate, and disinformation that was spearheaded and bankrolled by JKR. But do go on about your fear that someone on the Internet will be mean to you for taking her money.

Lord give me the strength to actually complete an album before my unfinished material starts to take over the world.

So is Canada back on the ‘places to escape to’ list again then?

🤸‍♀️ME & Long Covid are illnesses that people genuinely expect you to 'snap out' of because you've been ill for such a long time Yet, we receive no effective treatment, there's a huge knowledge gap & many of us have been medically abandoned How are we supposed to get better?!

YESSS COME ON!!! www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Urgent care waiting times since the government decided to let Covid just spread. Every time someone uses the phrase “post-Covid”, every person with ongoing health issues due to the virus dies a bit inside.

Attendees at the #RDconf last Saturday voted on an emergency motion to show their opposition to the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. Read the motion below 👇 BMA-wide policy is set at the Annual Representative Meeting (ARM) in June 2025.

Write to your MP's to speak up about the EHRC's blatant attack on the existence of trans individuals. We have an email template for you to edit and send to your MP. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This is clear, comprehensive and well reasoned:

The EHRC has ruled trans women are not permitted in lesbian spaces and trans men are not permitted in gay male spaces. Trans men are men. As a gay man I won't be told by heterosexual judges which men can be allowed in gay male spaces. This is an attack on the right of LGBT people to self-organise.

This, from the specialists in the field, may also be of interest

No transphobe has ever been able to explain to me why a man would pretend to be a woman in order to abuse and harass women in women-only spaces when cis men abuse & harasses us in the street, in our workplaces, in our homes and literally everywhere else without consequence

The body charged with protecting equality and human rights is taking a wrecking ball to them. greens.scot/news/ehrc-gu...

I have had so much support from cis women around the SC ruling. All of them are outraged to be used to harm people like me. I'd really like to see our cis allies but particularly women to organise, get out and protest, let the govt know how angry you are to be used as a reason to harm us

It's ok if you don't fully understand what it means to be trans. It's ok if you get the language wrong occasionally. What matters now is that you publicly, visibly show your allyship in any way you can. They're trying to drive us out of public life and we need your support to make sure they can't.

Time is of the essence and we need to fight the EHRC interim guidance before it becomes statutory and Parliament make it law. Don’t just shout about it, write to them. Also tell the media, if you can get them to care. I’ve posted this on Instagram. Speak to your unions and staff networks at work

It not only attempts to force gay and lesbian groups into exclusion against their will, or face being banned - it also attempts to enforce sex segregation across society we haven't seen in years. It's transphobic, homophobic, and misogynistic. It must be rejected without nuance or compromise.

The EHRC guidance isn't just aggressively anti-trans, it's also actively authoritarian and openly anti-LGBTQ+, attempting to break LGBTQ+ freedom of association. Any government that does not resist it will be complicit in the most significant shift to social conservatism we've seen in decades.

It’s been a bad couple of days, but heartening to see so many messages of support on social media. Thank you to every ally. Please do click links, sign petitions, send MPs letters, attend protests if you can. 🩷

A terribly good album from the immaculate 1994 Rising High catalogue. Get well soon, Morris!

Saw this AFTER I sorted out dinner. Sigh.

Next Thursday… @mikeparadinas.bsky.social

According to Discogs, it’s 27, although it’s only really two these days.

I have spent the evening watching a TV show with the subtitles on, sitting with my partner who is a keen birder. From time to time up came one of those sound effect subtitles, and it said, "SEAGULLS WARBLING" and I have to tell you that a keen birder has OPINIONS about the accuracy of that subtitle.

2007, March. One day you wake up and your favourite band have put out about 150 previously unheard tracks. This is the moment music becomes truly overwhelming for the first time. Only enough time to cover a fraction of them this week. Yup, still doing my FSOL videos. youtu.be/H9hi5P_J_ZY?...

House clearances undertaken is the usual terminology but ok
