Yell, Shetland, 1928. Fourteen-year-old Merran meets a mysterious stranger on the beach who causes her to question whether there was more to her brother's drowning five years prior. But the stranger, Solveg, isn't all she seems, and her presence brings danger to the community.

I’m glad pressure from the Greens has forced Labour’s budget a little to the left. All the more reason to vote Green!

The richest 150 people in the UK get £120,000,000 richer every single day, and that's not share value.
That's profit stolen from you through the Banks, Energy Companies, and Supermarkets they own.
But the problem is someone getting £10 on Universal Credit?

Never should have been there. She got out there for the president's racist vanity project.
Trump says Sarah Beckstrom, one of the National Guard members shot in DC, has died.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

The Glinner article in The Observer (I ain't posting it but if you want to find it I've given you the relevant info) is WILD! The journalist is genuinely transphobic and STILL thinks Glinner is a mentally unwell danger who should stop.

I cook my stuffing inside the turkey. My family has been doing it that way for almost 80 years. Not a single person has ever been food poisoned. I don’t stuff it too full, I put it straight in the oven after stuffing, I monitor the stuffing temperature, it’s fucking delicious, and I DO NOT APOLOGIZE

It is fascinating how, of all the bigotries, transphobia does seem to be the one that means you never ever get to be normal again?

This is just bizarre... the journalist talks about *Sarah Fucking Ditum* staging an intervention for Linehan because he's too transphobic. That's like Joseph Goebbels saying "OK, mate, you're going a bit too far with the antisemitism now, get a grip".

Generally speaking, getting a driving licence makes you a better cyclist, and being a regular cyclist makes you a better driver.

The biggest con in contemporary politics is Gender-Conservatives calling trans women perverts and rapists while constantly, and I mean constantly innovating new ways to sexually harass us on a mass scale.
