Success! The UK Government has said that it will extend legal recognition to humanist marriages in England & Wales. Recognition will be introduced as part of a broader package of marriage reforms which the Government says will be subject to a further public consultation launching in the new year.

Humanists UK. Success! Humanist marriage will finally become legally recognised in England and Wales. A huge victory for thousands of humanist couples. Justice at last, after 12 long years.

I was pleased to join @markadamshc.bsky.social for this week's episode of Shipwrecked and Comatose to talk about the bizarre movie Ashens and the Quest for the Game Child.

Robert Llewellyn appears in this movie which features some of your favourite gaming YouTubers.

It's 2025 and religion should have no place in politics and certainly shouldn't get you a better seat in parliament.

This is antiquated and perpetuating religious privilege from Lucy Powell.

We need reform and fairness not bias disguised as inclusion.

I've not been very active on social media for a while and I've not missed it...

However, this is a free marketing tool too.

Perhaps I need to just see it as exclusively that?

I struggle with mental health.

I don't know what it says about me, but I refuse to accept help when I'm not okay, and I think that the only way I can get out of my mental fug is helping other people who are also struggling.

Is this the norm for people who struggle?

Having taken a week off social media, I've realized how much I hate social media.

Particularly Twitter.

Without exception, deadnaming is wrong and evil when it comes to trans people, but...

It’s still the Gulf of Mexico.

And it's still Twitter.

Thank you for the kind words, Lucy.

It's a joy to work with someone that I genuinely think will change the wrestling world.

Keep your eyes on Lucy!

@markadamshc.bsky.social & I getting ready to call the Odyssey action this weekend!

Mark has recently celebrated 15 years of working in wrestling which is incredible!

I’m so lucky that I get to work alongside & learn from him. He’s so kind, humble & generous with his time & advice.
