This is very exciting! 🥳 There are so many awesome indie authors we love to support and I was complaining only the other day how difficult and complex it is to do so. This is much easier!

#OtD 2 Feb 1988 4 lesbians abseiled into the UK House of Lords in protest at the homophobic section 28. In 2017, 4 other lesbians climbed onto the Houses of Parliament in order to put up a blue plaque commemorating the 1988 action stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9181...

Today the biggest challenge facing writers is the urge to walk off into the woods and never be seen again. Every few years, campers or hikers will claim they saw you. But you have become something else. Something terrible, ruined, a thing made out of bones and rocks and nursery rhymes.

If you think of universal basic income as just "more money," you aren't understanding it and what makes it so different and effective. The fact it comes at a regular frequency is a key factor. When you know that whatever happens next month, you can still buy food, that's a huge deal.

Good god. We've spent a decade with the British media - including the BBC - claiming that the 'gender critical' movement wanted to 'protect women and girls'.
And it turns out Jeffrey Epstein was funding part of it.

I'm not being facetious. Epstein was apparently giving talking points to the people pushing anti trans rhetoric in the UK.

Lots of great suggestions in this thread, if you need a way to distract/focus the brain at intervals, in this tumultuous time
I don’t know if this will help any of my other neurodivergent peeps, but you know what I’m doing a lot of now? Logic puzzles. The little grids with “Bob has brown hair and killed either the dragon or the kraken, but not on Tuesday” clues. Having to focus so intently shuts up the anxiety for a bit.
