Nearly 20 years late, we're watching and loving ORPHAN BLACK. Not only is Maslany incredible as half the cast, but watching a pre-streaming, non-procedural genre serial is really refreshing in terms of pace and structure. It rattles along! Looking forward to an Orphan Black Christmas :)

I feel so sorry for the WI over this; it’s clear statement that they’ve been forced into this.
I am looking forward to joining one of their sisterhood groups for cis women and trans women. I wonder how many of their members will end up choosing likewise.

Trans women has been welcomed at the Women's Institute since the 1970s and one member is in her 80's and has been a member for decades. This is pure bigotry pushed by legal threats backed monetarily by JK Rowling.

"Poison Ivy #39 neatly closes the circle on an ongoing drama that revolves around tensions between Ivy and Janet, which has put tremendous difficulty on their friendship."

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.

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6

Christmas comes to Fallen London, and at her Enduring Majesty's whim, unusually, an actual honest-to-goodness tree in Hastings Place.
