This is just how we sing it now.
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
Not really my heart
Just somebody's heart
This year
If the cops should appear
Please tell them that you don't know me

The resilience of trans people inspires us.
Women of all ages and backgrounds are standing up, some for the first time, to show trans people they are not alone. Some of us are parents, some lifelong feminists, some just beginning to speak up - but all of us are united.

It's Trans Day of Remembrance
So remember Sylvia Rivera, and every person like her who spoke up despite ridicule and rejection. That is what queer liberation is built upon. Not respectability and comfort. It takes EVERYONE to make a movement happen.

MPs urge Reeves to raise gambling taxes despite ‘scaremongering’ from firms.
Quite right.
Bet365 CEO collected £323m in pay and dividends last year. Company paid 12.7% corporation tax on £1.4bn profit.
Almost all betting companies have offshore tax haven operations, solely to dodge UK taxes.

One of the best things about going on tour is getting to meet and know people like this. To make connections, hear their stories. AI doesn’t make human connections. It doesn’t have any stories to tell that haven’t been stolen from someone else. That’s why I want my books to stay 100% human.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1650:
No two people see the world in exactly the same way. When creating a character, try considering the unique and personal way in which your protagonist connects with their world; their dominant sense; their limits; their abilities. How do these things define them?
