Reform council in Kent is removing 'trans books' from school libraries, on the basis of a (ONE) "concerned member of the public", who may or may not have kids in Kent schools. If you live in Kent, especially if your kids go to school there, hope you'll push back.
You know when we kept saying this was coming, this was happening, this was never a US-only issue, we were having events cancelled and being left off lists and parents had to sign permission slips when we were coming in to do assemblies? You know? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yesterday I ordered a puffy envelope to send some items in the post. I went to get it from the uni stationery shop and the envelope my order came in was bigger than the one I ordered so I ended up using that instead. Like some kind of envelope paradox ✉️🤪

Ben cracked me up in the car today. ‘If I had a son I wouldn’t call him Brad. The kids at school would be all - ooh Brad is it, what’s your last name, Field Road?’. Very Hillsborough specific take. I had to stop myself from swerving the car I was laughing so hard. 😂
