Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
This is the saddest day of my professional life. Today is not only the final recording of the latest series of The Infinite Monkey Cage, it is my last ever Monkey Cage. I never thought that I would have to leave the show. I always imagined going on until | dropped dead under the studio lights due to a brain aneurysm caused by my final attempt to understand notions of quantum gravity or the shock of being told about fly maggot infestations in the sacks of macaque monkeys. I resigned in September, after sixteen years of dedication to the show, A show that I named and helped develop over all those years. Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry. These things were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter In a recent meeting where BBC Studio executives again voiced problems with me, I realised my choices. Obedience and being quieter to remain making Monkey Cage, or 'Resign and have the freedom to speak out against what I believe are injustices'. • I chose the latter. It broke my heart. I love this show and I love the audience, and it is because of the audience in particular, that this decision was so difficult to make. I kept thinking about all the extremist voices promoting hate and division. They are being given so many platforms, while voices that represent kindness, open mindedness, empathy seem to be scarcer and scarcer. I felt I couldn't pamper myself with the luxury of silence. One of my many privileges is that I am able to resign and I can speak out even if it is to the detriment of my career. I have thought a lot about my heroes, Sinead O Connor, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and so many more. I think of Sinead's words, "the job of an artist is to be themselves at any cost". James Baldwin said prejudice was really just a word for cowardice. Audre Lorde, viewing her life, wrote that her only regrets were her silences. I think of my father as I resign, he brought me up to believe in fairness , justice and kindness. Though my heart is broken, it is also full of fire. I apologise to our incredible listeners for my departure, your love of the show means a great deal. I am so sorry to let you down. I hope that you can understand my reasoning. I have to accept that I am not what the current BBC expects of their freelance presenters. Despite this I should add that I have always worked far more than my contracted hours to try and ensure the show was always the best it could be, as well as making myself accessible and responsive to the audience wherever and whenever I met them. Every night, we have recorded, I have been filled with determination to make the best show possible. This was not "just a job" I hope that with my departure I can be a better ally to the LGBTQ community, to the neurodivergent community, to activists fighting against those who aim to brutalise society, to those currently in prison on hunger strike, and to all those who fight for a more inclusive world. From many conversations, I know there are many Monkey Cage listeners who support these communities and activists too. The strawberry is dead. Long live the strawberry. B

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.

It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

Self-ID for left handed to be ended.

Will now require a ten year wait and the opinion of three psychologists.

Firstline treatments to include breaking all the fingers on the left hand with a mallet.

NHS to offer sinister hand amputation to persistent cases.

Read this workplace rejection of a “trans-exclusive” bathroom here as “trans-excluding” and rejoice in a triumph for empathy, common sense and not importing culture war bullshit because a billionaire writer spends too much time huffing mould

The Holiday sales rush takes its toll on retail staff yet again.
#TheElderScrolls #Oblivion
A screenshot of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, of the player in a tavern, with a worn wooden bar, with various ale bottles scattered around, and in bottle racks in the back, a bust of Sheogorath in the background, depicted as a mustached and bearded man in a saggy, poofy hat, of which lettuce and a book are strewn around the bust, and a landscape painting on the wall. There is an elf woman standing at the bar, slouched over, looking extremely worn-out and depressed, in an elegant beige and teal dress, with layered sleeves. Her eyes look tired beyond measure, with dark skin complexion emanating from around her eyes. Her name is listed as Dredhwen in the UI prompt to press "X" to talk to her.

"It’s important to remember that stories set in dystopian futures are never actually about the future—they’re about right now."

The Running Man stumbles in its adaptation of Stephen King's story:

The new adaptation of Stephen King's dystopian future doesn't reflect our present as well as it should.

This is even funnier now the artists will have to include an idiot sidekick who'll be commenting on what you're doing the entire time.

Rowling and Emma Watson's argument is painful to watch😢

Good-hearted transgender people never intend to hurt anyone else.
They just want to love who they want to love and live according to their soul's direction.
Chiitan stands by the hearts of good-hearted transgender people.
I love everyone
