Hahahah. It is such a scam.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

I tried to navigate to this page from the BBC home page and the news home page but couldn't, so I'll give #r4today people an opportunity to see it. Ironically, it needed corrections, including replacing "trans ideology" with "trans identity." Will the BBC ever learn? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We have to talk more how transphobia has taken strong root among well-to-do journalists & politicians when in both the UK & US, the evidence is that voters do not share it. The demographics of transphobia are people least likely to suffer prejudice in their lives. Richer, maler, whiter, straighter.

We only rate dogs. This is spaghetti con salsiccia. Obviously has the noodles and the sausage, but is notably missing sauce. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 13/10 (IG: futrinka_tacsko)

The composer of the Traitors is Sam Watts. Not that hard to say in the Uncloaked episode, Ed Gamble.

And here’s the cover itself! Piper at the Gates of Dusk, the first book in a new Chaos Walking trilogy, out 7 April 2026 worldwide. Something is coming…

Also the point where the BBC have commissioned a 6 PART SERIES on Clanchygate & it appears to include: *no citations of the racist or ableist material from the book *no involvement of the writers who called the book out & were serially harassed & threatened *the return of "the right to offend" 🤮

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

Announcing the cover of "Piper at the Gates of Dusk", the first book in a new CHAOS WALKING trilogy. Out 7 April 2026, worldwide. Something is coming...

Are you ready for the cover reveal?

Cover reveal for Piper at the Gates of Dusk (the new CHAOS WALKING novel!) tomorrow at 1pm!!!!!

Tom Hanks explains to Stephen Colbert why he masks on the subway: "I'm doing a play right now so I cannot get sick... I've had COVID enough in my life, I don't need to do that again. So I'm wearing this for health reasons." Thank you Tom! Masks are still a key part of public health.

My son is on blockers legally from before the ban and we did everything they told us to do and now we are being threatened with social services if we don't allow them to "safely withdraw" medication. They admit that the impact will be "stark" for our kids but they are going to do it anyway.

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.

The Florence cover of Jade’s Angel of My Dreams (an absolutely titanic song) is pretty damn good. m.youtube.com/watch?v=gRQc...

In which it is more offensive to be called a bigot than it is to be a bigot...

Ah I see we’ve reached the point in the timeline where publishers are now apologising for criticising racism and ableism in the books they publish rather than addressing those issues or not monetising them in the first place…how novel? www.bbc.com/news/article...

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani? great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

I’ve looked into where Lib Dems are coming from with their bizarre messaging about publishing the EHRC Code ASAP and I’ve done a kind of briefing statement in response. This might be helpful to get the message across to the Lib Dems about what is actually needed right now. Feel free to use & share!

Every time she comes up, I remind you all that Pamela Paul killed a pro trans paragraph in a review I wrote for the New York Times, lied about it in the press, then when I confronted her with receipts, said “Let’s keep this to ourselves.”

Pamela Paul, the great distiller of disinformation. She once produced 4500w on a *retracted* research report that supported her obsessive anti-trans bigotry. Why let facts get in the way?

Whoop so proud of my best friend @sachacoward.bsky.social this is so well deserved 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧜‍♂️🧜‍♀️💖

Researchers from Brunel University are recruiting participants for a trans-led study investigating working-class LGBTQ experiences of belonging. Please email Liam Greenbank [email protected] for more information. #Trans #Transgender #NonBinary #TransResearch #ResearchSurvey #LGBTQResearch

The continued presence of the government and public institutions on X should no longer be a matter of debate. It should simply be a matter of shame.

My hot take on this its great that the journalist acknowledges that the Green Party is at record membership, record polling and has huge momentum. But why say "dentally challenged?" Who or what is that serving? The state of journalism.

The "hard-men" of Gondor were getting their shit kicked in until they were rescued by foreigners and a girl. The Shire was doing fine until they let a fascist demagogue ("Sharkey" aka Saruman) take over, close the gates, impose a bunch of thug-enforced rules, and despoil nature for profit.

Taylor Swift... you are ruining my life.

The claim that "civil war is inevitable in the UK" is better understood as an expression of the author's desire to see blood spilt on British streets.

Every creative meeting should have at least one queer, that's my own firm business belief.

I have Issues with the concept of writers block, such that I wrote a post on it. kjcharleswriter.com/2019/11/13/w... There are a ton of things you can do if you're struggling to write, and none of them require using the theft-based environment-ruining plagiarism machine.

About to see my husband @nmjcoveney.bsky.social ‘s panel at London Comic Con. If you’re around, it’s in the Writer’s Block stage on the 3rd floor. Come along!

built on theft and at massive environmental cost and most importantly, numerous studies keep demonstrating that genAI tools often work a little better than by chance. how is it that we can’t expunge these slop machines out of our institutions and communities www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

True, the Carnegie has tended to YA, so this would be more like the Newbery Medal in America. Wish it all wasn’t quite so Balkanized, but there’s brilliant MG that deserves the spotlight. But honestly, I Want My Hat Back is one of the greatest “children’s” books of all time. It’d deserve a Booker.

Interesting. I didn’t notice first time that it was for middle grade only. Which would have in the past left out Mal Peet (too teen) and Jon Klassen (too young), which I regard as the best “children’s books” of the past twenty five years. Still, MG does get overlooked for other kids prizes, so…

If Labour is continuing to lose votes, just got 11% in a by-election in a seat they've held for 100 years and in a few recent polls is equal to or just behind the Greens maybe we should stop suggesting they're the only thing that can defeat Reform.

Anyone who has ever had to interact with the Home Office could have told her that. Thing is, with a singular focus on making life worse for marginalised groups Mahmood is making the whole thing worse. 1/ www.bbc.com/news/article...

And no, I haven’t the slightest idea why I didn’t include the link. Here you go, only £5: thearzner.com/TheArzner.dl...

This is hilarious. I do that thing where I can see who blocked me, and it’s almost always after I defend trans people. But someone blocked me immediately after this one. Who hurt you that you can’t love Claudia Winkleman? What a joyless, fringeless life.

Dramatic photos show construction equipment tearing into the East Wing façade and windows, though the federal agency that oversees such projects has not approved President Trump's 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom. n.pr/48AUON2

Why is there not global outrage at this? I can’t imagine it happening in any other country and being met with utter silence

When we first saw this footage/post I thought it was faked, surely even in the worst excesses of his deranged behaviour this would be too far-fetched. But no he really did this

My husband @nmjcoveney.bsky.social wrote a book! It’s a queer YA with hellmouths and romance! Here’s the link for the big evil place but also on other places! Buy it, it’s wonderful. www.amazon.co.uk/Everything-N...

Will be deleting every author bio and replacing them with “foxy ginger”

Bullying an entire country to try and extort a peace prize. Perfect. No notes.

Still not over this a week on! Limited signed copies available @gaystheword.bsky.social get them while you can www.gaystheword.co.uk/product-page...
