If you're hyped for the forthcoming Francesca storyline in #bridgerton and need more sapphic historical stories to tide you over until then, may I recommend my books in the meantime—the sweet & romantic THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET and the funny & sexy THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY!

Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS! Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot. Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!

The attempt was made 🤷 She really is awful.

A cis man was giving a suspended 1-year sentence, a 5-year Sexual Offences Prevention Order, and place on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years for spying on another cis man in a Duncan Bannatyne gym. Bannatyne thinks trans people are a danger.

This appears to be a correct understanding of the polices at Bannatyne gyms, where they welcome sex offenders as long as they are cis but ban trans women from women's facilities because Duncan finds them icky.

Is there one person in the whole world surprised by the sleaze surrounding Mandelson? It makes Starmer's decision to appoint him look so... grubby. @danneidle.bsky.social has uncovered even more here.

Great job everybody! Melania: Devourer of Men is number one across the board. Remember to pass the word: download this free ebook so that we completely screw up Melania T's algorithm this weekend.

The abandoned warehouse

Children were among at least 12 Palestinians killed overnight in Israeli strikes in Gaza, which have continued despite a US-brokered ceasefire that came into force in October.

Anyone who cares to know the truth already knew that the Wes Streeting hit job on me and GLP was an intellectually dishonest and morally revolting attempt to cover up the tragic consequences of withdrawing gender affirming healthcare from young trans people. But this data makes that clearer still.

I was fortunate enough to do a dig here in the early 1980s. Our tents were on the field where the replica villa was built. You literally had to move pottery shards off the ground to pitch them! It's a fascinating site, and you really do struggle to get a sense of it's scale, even with what's left.

oh... well... that's in the parish (which is so incredibly tiny and yet things do seem to always Happen There at the moment). That's fun for us.

📚For a few brief decades, Birmingham had a bookshop scene that reflected the city back to itself: diverse, political, practical, trade unionist, academic and scientifically forward looking.

Yesterday evening was spent dealing with a fairly heavy attempt from Professor Flyvbjerg's lawyers to take this post down. It is still up.

After he got caught up in that prostitution arrest several years back, this news does not shock me. Especially after the charges were dropped.

NFL owners are PANICKING.

Neil Gaiman is going to make an appearance at some point in this omnishambles, I'd bet my hat on it.

Way too soon. RIP 💔

We wrote about the positive outcomes yesterday, to thank all those who simply and categorically voted for inclusion. Although there’s still so much work to be done, and policy decisions to be taken, well done to all who collectively pushed back on exclusion 🙏 notinourname.org.uk/hampstead-po...

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

GOOD NEWS: Spain has announced a scheme to grant legal status to 500,000 undocumented migrants. Instead of unleashing state violence, we can create compassionate, legal routes to documentation. Who else thinks the UK should be following Spain's lead, NOT the US'? edition.cnn.com/2026/01/27/e...

I saw this early on & signed immediately. Hate isn't in my name. If you feel the same, & haven't signed already, please do it now. It's a quick & easy process & can mean the world to those being persecuted by a loud, wealthy, minority.

The Council of Europe did not vote to ban conversion therapy… …according UK mainstream media. It didn’t happen, nothing happened. A bit like Las Vegas, what happens in the COE stays in the COE, according to MSM. I suspect this would have been different had the COE voted the other way.

This report is from 2024 but we were warned of this risk by many in 2020. I'm still masking when we go out. I've had covid once (vaccinated) & I'd rather not go through it again, not just because of long term risk. I see so many who had repeat infections, now having multiple medical problems, too.

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️
