About last night… absolutely pinching myself after my incredible launch party @gaystheword.bsky.social which has always been a special place from when I first moved to London 16 years ago.

*deep sigh* Again, I have an English degree and have contributed rather extensively to the British economy, including writing a show that pumped £10 million into Wales. But the stupidity is the point here, of course.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Badenoch: "While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China built five nuclear reactors."

A perfect summary of conservative idiocy. Glorifying authoritarian post-communism for its efficiency while vilifying democracy for seeking nuance and respect.

It is the Right who hate their own countries.

The Supreme Court legalizing the torture of teenagers just because some Christians want it. Why do I keep writing queer books? This is why. To keep kids like I was alive.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Remember Ofcom’s investigation into GB News’ homophobic comments?
Well, they’ve finally got back to us 👀

This has become a nasty little strategy - launch a crowdfunder, get JK Rowling to tweet about you, wait five seconds for the press to jump on your case and turn it into a media circus, rinse and repeat. Now it’s even used as a threat to force compliance in advance.

Nobody cares and nothing will happen but this is classically, paradigmatically fascist language. Comparing opponents to vermin and pests is straight out of the textbook.

The government has been producing industrial-scale disinformation & conspiracy theories about trans people since last year. Crickets from MPs.

So it’s *interesting* that Lab MPs are suddenly concerned about disinformation & conspiracy theories when it relates to a different demographic; them.

This is an absolutely disgusting and flagrant attempt by the Labour government to suppress the all democratic protests “Police to get broader powers to restrict repeated protests” www.bbc.com/news/article... peaceful protesters should be allowed to have their voices heard until change is made
Police to get broader powers to crack down on repeated protests
The move is not a ban on protests but "about restrictions and conditions", Shabana Mahmood tells the BBC.

I’ve read this twice. Cried more than twice (not sure why I keep telling you that some books make me cry). I am so happy to see this in the world.

A story of queer love, video games, a creepy village, toxic friends, and a lot of hope.

And God help you if you live in Glasgow with a 224 year wait for a first appointment.

Imagine waiting 25 years for an appointment.

You might think this can't be right.

You'd be wrong to think that.
