I fear Critical Role Campaign 4 is going to be my entire personality.

As a frequent user of the ponds, it disgusts me that terfs are taking a beautiful place and pouring their hate into it. Please fill in this survey if you want to protect this space for all women and make trans women feel. PS the ducks think terfs suck. And the friendly fox. And the crows.

The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds.

Would be a shame if we inundated with trans positive views on not banning trans people.

for those who don't know, these are outdoor swimming venues, very famous and lovely, and they have men/women only ponds. the kenwood ladies pond is inclusive and a brilliant spot. I fear TERFs are going to overrun the consultation and ruin another good thing in this city

anyone london based - there's a consultation on whether trans women and men will continue to be able to access the hampstead ladies and men's ponds, or if they should be forced to use the one for their 'biological sex'. please respond, it's quick. hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.is

Future access to the Hampstead Heath Bathing Ponds

Inviting feedback from pond users, the local community, and stakeholders on how the Kenwood Ladies’, and Highgate Men’s ponds should operate in the future.

As an immigrant to the UK, I was grateful for years to have arrived during the last Labour government, before the Tories imposed such cruel restrictions on immigration. Now, listening to the current Labour government's even crueller plans...
I hate how anti-immigrant mainstream discourse has become.

good time to call your democratic reps and describe to them what having a spine might look like

If passed, the law would prohibit trans surgeries, strip [health insurance] Medicaid coverage from transgender people and ban Pride flags from public buildings, such as schools and universities.

That said, the next four books I've mentally planned (not necessarily sold) are deeply exciting to me, so there's that.

I've been thinking a lot lately about writing as joy and art - the things I want to write - and writing as the thing that pays my bills. I hope I can always align those two things, but I do wonder. I wonder.
