Broken Frontier @brokenfrontier.bsky.social · Dec 3
Putting money in Rowling's pocket is also why we ignore press releases from comics events that include Potter programming. It's funding her hate. I'd implore every creator/publisher/potential guest to consider this when approached by those cons. - Andy

Trans girls banned from joining Girlguiding
Girlguiding says the move is in response to the Supreme Court ruling that said sex meant biological sex in equality law.

Congratulations to Bex Glendining @lgions.bsky.social winner of the Breakout Talent category in the 2025 Broken Frontier Awards! www.brokenfrontier.com/broken-front...
Image from the cover of Bex Glendining's graphic novel 'On Starlit Shores' with a close-up shot of the protagonist's face and a single tear running down their cheek. It's truly excellent and you should read it!

Congratulations to Keezy Young @keezyyoung.bsky.social, winner of the Best Artist category in the 2025 Broken Frontier Awards! @littlebrown.bsky.social www.brokenfrontier.com/broken-front...
An image from the cover of Keezy Young's graphic novel 'Hello Sunshine' showing the teenage cast looking out at the reader while standing in a field of flowers. The book merges horror with themes of mental health awareness and queer storylines. And it's excellent. Look for a review soon(ish) at Broken Frontier.

One of the small comforts of spending so much time caring for someone with Alzheimer's is that in the midst of all the repetition and confusion there will be these sudden recollections of shared experiences - things you hadn't thought about in years - that really do, to coin a phrase, spark joy.
