Understand and get irate at. Either do a queer story or don't. Half-assing it is weak sauce.

In Chicago, I believe. It's started a wave of them, which I find hysterical. Armed men cowed by inflatable costumes.

I can tell you why but not cite the source of booming sales, if it helps.

Prices start from £15 and depend on yarn used. This is just one pattern I use, and it can be pretty much any colour you want.

I can crochet you one. (Gratuitous self-plug, ha.)

Probably means the school is using female pronouns. But that doesn't get bigots clutching their pearls. 😮‍💨

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I'm gonna grab that sprayed-edge beauty, I think!

Aww, that's so sweet! Dementia is a bugger, though. Mum has it and is in a specialised care home now. She can remember my name, but not who I am to her. It's heart-breaking.

Mine broke midway through cooking dinner the day after my father's funeral. This was a month ago, and I'm still extremely annoyed about it.

It does explain a lot. 😁

Congrats!

Wow, but LinkedIn just pulled the mother of all six degrees of separation on me - a friend of mine also knows Lynn Santer, who was friends with Cliff and developing a project with him.

Four and a half years, and I'm still finding things that can sucker punch me with grief. 💔

S'mae! Wondering if you wouldn't mind giving our Welsh Mythology Kickstarter a share? Aiming to promote welsh writers, artists and (hopefully) cymraeg translators. Diolch yn fawr!

You'll feel like throwing up beforehand, but you'll be fine once you get going.

Or that's my experience of panels, anyway. 😅

Will the t-shirt be available separately? And, perhaps, the mug? 😅

I love this man. He is 100% correct.

And I am guilty of not writing something because I'm afraid of how it's going to be viewed. If it can get published. It *is* censoring myself and I need to stop it.

I'm going to try. How about you?
