apropos of nothing in particular, @lilashapiro.bsky.social gave us a tremendous piece of journalism last year, and it's always a great time to revisit it and thank her for the work she did in bringing these stories to light.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Neil Gaiman is crawling out of his bog two years after sexual assault allegations to play the sweet old fantasy uncle again -- complete with name-dropping that book you like & his twee "make good art" catchphrase -- all in order to (of course) sell you his upcoming book. Don't you dare fall for it.

One of the most depressing things about trying to sound the alarm on the "Gender Critical" movement back when it was gaining traction, was that one of the main transphobic activists of the 2010s was a woman who had groomed a minor under her care, and everyone just stuffed their fingers in their ears
Iβm not allowed to safely use a public bathroom because a literal island of pedophiles said trans people might be sketchy.
β¦ and somehow thatβs barely a sliver of the things that happened thanks to a literal island of pedophiles making stuff up.

Hi #TBRuary!
I'm Lawrence (she/her) and I like fantasy, horror and litfic - currently on a literary horror binge. I have 5 or 6 books in my TBR but it's sure to grow.
As a writer, I would love it if more people read By The Blood, my horror novella about a vampire priest - available on Ko-Fi.
