This. Normies urgently need to understand that this country is becoming an extreme outlier on trans rights and they can't rely on the domestic mood music in the media and online to judge where "normal" is any more

RE: new #Bluey episodes, a reminder that the reason Bandit (the dad) is an archaeologist is because dogs love digging up bones! However, Bluey’s creator Joe Brumm is also brother of renowned Stone Age expert, Professor Adam Brumm, who specialises in the earliest known cave art found in Indonesia…

Probably the most obscene thing in the UK's new CoP on gender is "it is now illegal for anyone who is not AFAB to get a breast cancer screening" Just fully off the deep end in GC delusion, even cis men get breast cancer

I broke my back and became paralyzed on Christmas Day 2025. I'm currently in a long-term care facility. The good news is I'm going home! The bad news is that it won't be for months and I'm in financial trouble. I have a GoFundMe here and an Amazon wishlist in the first reply if you can help.

The cafe at the train station had cherry scones this morning. It's the little things.

Bush's baked beans has jumped the shark (yes, they're real).

Great example of how you can't win with them, they objected to trans people being listed under what they see at the "wrong" gender so the ability to filter by gender was removed But they are still whining because they really want the trans MSPs humiliated and this change doesn't do that

New D&D playable species just dropped.

If you like short fiction, this collection features 31 stories taken from my 20 yr career as a writer, some of which have not been previously collected. It’s out now from @titanbooks.bsky.social and available from your favourite book seller.

My embarrassing GenX confession is that I never welcome people to Discord channels because the animated welcome stickers move too fast and stress me out. (I'm not unwelcoming, I'm just very anxious.)
