feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 5h

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

This is one of the first things I mention when I talk to anyone about transition. Anyone who thinks people are being rushed through and pushed into decisions they might later regret is absolutely incorrect. Even going privately was a whole, long ordeal. Not to mention incredibly expensive.

Most Trans+ people in the UK will wait more than a third of their adult life to get their first appointment at an NHS gender clinic, and some will never receive care, QueerAF can reveal 👇

I think, sadly, that Spinning Silver came out too early! And similarly the hardcover thing might be a hindrance for the McGuire. I'll have a look at Noctis magical

Thank you!

I've not read this particular @aptshadow.bsky.social but I did ask him to help with promoting the rerelease

I've read Babel and I don't think it's a terribly good fit, alas

Aliette de Bodard @aliettedebodard.com · 4h

Yeah, I've listed dark academia titles so far.
I've got: Leigh Bardugo's Hell Bent, Master of Djinn, and ST Gibson's Evocation.

Good point, any ideas @dfranklin.bsky.social?

Aliette de Bodard @aliettedebodard.com · 5h

Thank you, that's very helpful
I did think of the Mennick Thorn books but they're too old 😭
