Helpful news writing tip: It's actually completely okay to call something bullshit when it is, in fact, complete bullshit.

Taking this advice as a chance to share the amazing game a dear friend of mine developed, Toward Dawn!

It's a fantasy RPG inspired by Welsh mythology, featuring loads of interesting characters and places to explore. Would very much recommend giving it a go ♥️

I really like this mentality, definitely going to keep that in mind whenever I have a kneejerk reaction to some awful news!

Mimi @mimihansford.bsky.social · 22d

Yeah you make a good point. Noted and deleting.

Mimi @mimihansford.bsky.social · 22d

Like, this is just straight-up bad writing.

Mimi @mimihansford.bsky.social · 28d

It really needs to be emphasised how insane it is that a 57-year-old man who thinks breaking an 18-year-old's phone is a public interest issue threatened to physically assault an entire demographic of people, and now free speech laws might be changed in his favour.

Girl oops

Graham Linehan appears to violate bail condition just days after arrest

Graham Linehan appears to have violated his bail conditions just days after being arrested at Heathrow on suspicion of inciting violence.

All Linehan going behind bars will do is motivate him to write another shitty book

A second Graham Linehan has hit the Court

Mimi @mimihansford.bsky.social · Sep 4

Dude thinks it's within the public's interest that he harass an 18-year-old and smash their phone.

She wasn't even a year old when his infamous transphobic IT Crowd episode aired. He's been publicly transphobic before she knew how to walk.

Mimi @mimihansford.bsky.social · Sep 4

He is so far beyond help it'd be sad if he weren't a vile coward

Mimi @mimihansford.bsky.social · Sep 4

Also Graham Linehan calling himself a journalist come ON

Mimi @mimihansford.bsky.social · Sep 4

It's public interest to threaten to shove a phone up someone's arse, apparently.

Mimi @mimihansford.bsky.social · Sep 4

Worth noting that the trans girl whom Graham Linehan is accused of harassing would have been an infant when his infamously transphobic IT Crowd episode aired.

Can AIs suffer? Big tech and users grapple with one of most unsettling questions of our times

As first AI-led rights advocacy group is founded, industry is divided on whether models are, or can be, sentient

the problem, as i see it, is not that censoring erotic content is a slippery slope to censoring LGBTQ+ culture. it's that censoring erotic content IS censoring LGBTQ+ culture.

He was just correct about everything, sorry folks

Mimi @mimihansford.bsky.social · Aug 22

Imo David Lynch being pro-trans should be enough to convince anyone that transphobia is morally repugnant

Mimi @mimihansford.bsky.social · Aug 22

TERFs will use this to lobby for laws forcing trans people to disclose their gender identity on dates, Labour will cave, and it's going to cause the already massive trans hate crime stats to skyrocket, calling it now.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · Aug 22

A man got a blowjob from a trans woman and after his friends mocked him, he called the police and filed a criminal complaint. Now she has been convicted of sexual assault for not disclosing she was trans and will now have to register as a sex offender.

Thornaby transgender woman guilty of sexually assaulting man

Ciara Watkin lied about being a biological female when the pair had a sexual liaison, a court hears.

I'm honestly preparing for Labour to bring back forced sterilisation as a GRC requirement

If another Democrat acts like you can't simultaneously care about marginalised people's rights and the economy, I may go insane.

Trump's presidency is such a trainwreck, he's downplaying slavery to avoid speaking about his paedophile best friend, who may have had evidence suggesting he's also a paedophile.
www.thepinknews.com/2025/08/22/d...

Trump won't stop downplaying slavery's horrors. What's he trying to distract from?

Donald Trump has, yet again, downplayed the horrors of slavery in a Truth Social post branding the Smithsonian as 'woke'. Why does he keep doing this?

John Boyne's column on the Polari Prize cancellation reads like he thinks people were mad over his opinions on Citizen Kane, not that he effectively compared an entire demographic of people to fictional rapists.

What are you talking about? We haven't written about Mamdani since July and it's all been positive coverage?
