Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Transphobia: the engine that pulls the train of fascism.

Creators + the creative industries have spoken loud and clear about copyright + AI A Government statement released today reveals details of responses to its consultation on the subject earlier this year + the results are overwhelming Our response: writersguild.org.uk/creators-spe...

Yes, yes, I know. They’ll get it all wrong without me. I suppose one more series won‘t kill anyone. Well, except… that would be telling ;) New era for the 12th Doctor kicks off in July 2026. Like what we did with 11? Then you’ll love this too.

Run Fast, Be Kind - a new series of adventures for the 12th Doctor @bigfinish.bsky.social @alfiejdshaw.bsky.social @lisabowerman.bsky.social @rochanapatel.bsky.social @lisamcmullin.bsky.social scifibulletin.com/2025/12/12/n...

If you LOVED what @alfiejdshaw.bsky.social did with the Eleventh Doctor then I PROMISE you, HE'S DONE IT AGAIN with the Twelfth. These two sound SUPERB together! If you're looking for Doctor Who with emotions, humour, excitement and complexities, plus a GENIUS series arc, you will LOVE this.

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women. Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

We've been in court all day at the hearing for our case against the EHRC's interim guidance. We stand by what we said: the guidance is transphobic, harmful - and legally wrong.

Very weird perks of the job. For my latest episode of Sister Boniface I invented a factory called Groovy Shoo (fictional) which made BoHo Boots (also fictional) so they made and GAVE me a pair, complete with fictional shoe box!

My latest Sister Boniface dropped in the UK yesterday. 1960s feminism with nuns! u.co.uk/shows/sister...

Sharing this again. Clearly with arts and humanities under sustained attack from politicians we need to keep reminding ourselves not only why we do this but why we keep fighting to do it. #ScriptSkyUK #ScriptSky #WritingCommunity

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Good. Kill it. Next!

“It’s such a beautiful thing to be a part of.” 🫶 Jodie Whittaker joined @simonmayo.bsky.social on Drivetime and reflected on her time in Doctor Who and how she’s still involved in some way!

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.
