My collection of Norfolk Broads Bird illustrations are now all available to purchase as individual prints. I offer a variety of sizes and paper stock so there's something to suit all budgets :) juliaallum.co.uk/product-cate... Up first - the majestic barn owl

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

For years, I’ve known that Maitlis was a key player in the institutional and orchestrated attacks on Trans+ youth Now, emboldened and clearly unrepentant, she's flaunting her complicity The world can now see her for who she is - someone willing to weaponise their power against the vulnerable

There are young Trans+ people on suicide watch today because of what this woman has done "Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy” - Gustave M. Gilbert

What's fascinating here is that as she rhymes off the list of gender critical people at Newsnight pursuing an explicitly gender critical agenda, in the context of a discussion of ideological capture at the BBC, she doesn't recognise that she was part of the ideological capture of the BBC by GCs.

you can just go ask crows stuff instead of asking chatgpt

For Halloween I'd love to gift one of my followers on here a free copy of my new book, The Notwitches: Prison Break, signed by me and Dotty Sutton. If you fancy it, just like this post (and follow me if you don't already). Shares very much appreciated, obvs. UK-based people only, I'm afraid.

“The idea that the Labour party are on the left is completely incoherent" Zack Polanski challenging the tired narrative of the mainstream media is a thing of beauty.

British.

This only takes a few seconds. Do it!

It costs the UK state approx £1.5M to investigate one suicide. It costs approx £1.5M to fund one mid sized gender service. Investigating one trans suicide each year costs more than providing life saving healthcare for hundreds of trans people every year. Transphobia is a political choice.

Hey, I'm a white, heterosexual bloke with a job. I won't be voting for Reform. They are racist, bigoted arseholes. I will stand alongside those they seek to attack, be they people of colour, trans, gay, whatever. It is in everyone's interest to smash fascism.

How do we fix this mess?

There used to be 'legitimate concerns' about Jews, about Muslims, about gay men, about Black people, Indians and Pakistanis, about women's advancement and trans women. It's all a steaming pile of hogwash. Those bigots don't care about facts or information; this is a deliberate march into the abyss.

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

Progressive outlet The Lead have launched a petition to ban Elon Musk from the UK following his incitement at the Tommy Robinson demo. Perhaps someone will launch one for Govt departments and politicians to ditch X... open.substack.com/pub/theleadu...

WELL WELL WELL... I'm sure the media is going to now do 24/7 coverage on the scourge of right-wing violence? I won't hold my breath. Rising political violence is real. Using dehumanizing language about marginalized people has consequences. Let's actually get serious about combating violence

The Bible says you’re not supposed to eat prawns. Or wear two types of cloth together. Or (perhaps more significantly) hoard wealth. Yet somehow it always comes back to queer rights & reproductive healthcare. Dunno, I’m starting to feel like maybe it doesn’t have anything to do with faith?

I second this - absolutely fantastic portrayal of the characters and the world they inhabit. Three viewings in I still love it!

One thing the media's reticence to label Kirk an extremist has made jarringly clear is how scared they are of the people in power now who share his extremist beliefs. In the space of nine months, they have internalized a fear of condemning racism, misogyny, homophobia and antisemiticism.

bless you Dave!

'Safe third spaces' for all trans people are not a thing, will not be a thing, and every transphobe claiming that that's a viable solution knows this. Who's going to build them? Who's going to fund them? Who's going to run them? What are trans people meant to do in the interim? Disappear?

Using this piece by @reallygoodwizard.bsky.social in my introductory lectures for my design students.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

This is a billionaire-funded Tony Blair lobbying project being funnelled unchallenged onto the front page of a national newspaper. 1/

The treatment of trans people is an affront to humanity
