Does anyone know anyone famous & supportive of trans kids who might receive an early copy of a book explaining in an accessible & engaging manner what's happening with "Trans kids, medicine and the fight for trans equality".

Beer festivals beyond the point of quick fixes

Reading this week that once again people felt uncomfortable at the Great British Beer Festival made us wonder what more can be done. Are we past the point of simple fixes?

this is SUCH a lovely write up of my pub I'm proper having a little cry reading it - Steve writes delightfully about pubs at large and extremely generously about mine in particular

Hope this isn't weird to share, but to provide some balance, I wrote up some far more positive thoughts on the pub...

The Royal Oak is massive. It’s local, and that’s important, but the first thing to mention is it’s massive. There are three bars in an age where even two bars is a rarity – The Poolroom Bar, …

A love letter to The Hope in Carshalton, near @lisariemers.bsky.social old manor, in which @davidjesudason.bsky.social reveals just why it's so glorious (we had no idea there's also links to The Dog and Bell too)

Just in case, you know, you ever want to define a session ale, it's 4.3% or less #ItsPubOClock

It's Pub O'Clock @itspuboclock.bsky.social · Jul 29

FYI according to @camraofficial.bsky.social Champion Beer of Britain style guide:
Mild = to 4%
Session pale, blond, golden, bitter = to 4.3%, premium = 4.4 - 6.4%
Brown, red, old, strong mild ale = 4.1 - 4.6^
Session stouts & porters = 4.9%, strong = 5.0% +
Barley wines and & strong ales = 6.5% +

Session bitters: up to 4.3% ABV - usually amber to dark brown, malty character with noticeable hops

I am looking for excellent freelance writers who specialise in sport (not football, got that covered), music and entertainment.

I've always wanted to do The Set Pieces again. I felt like if I knew then what I know now it would have been so much better.
