My condolences for the man who was barely injured despite his intentions to kill me. I hope he has a swift recovery so I can be killed faster and with vigor

The majority of people flatly do not understand — and would be honestly shocked by! — how little money most publicly known writers make

Whatever about Wes, this is the new Secretary of Health for Secondary Care, she follows a clutch of *extreme* anti-trans accounts, people who are so obsessively anti-trans that they have more or less devoted their lives to hating on trans people. Maybe it should be bigger news?

Looked through who Karin Smyth MP follows on Twitter and its (1) other MPs and (2) single-issue anti-trans accounts. Fuck Labour

barber trip was a success! idk if they're trans-friendly per se (I didn't out myself) but they didn't turn me away or look at me like I'm some sort of specimen (which I've had barbers do before) also the guy took about an HOUR cutting my hair but only charged for the 20 minute slot (I gave a tip)

moving to a new area means seeing a new barber, which I will be doing today - wish me luck 😬 desperately hoping that he'll be as unexpectedly trans-friendly as my last one was...🤞🏻

This is an awesome discovery! The planet is tidally locked to its star, so the same side always faces the sun. That's why it'd have that 'eyeball' look--the sun's concentrated heat would melt the ice there that otherwise blankets the world.

YOU GUYS THEY FOUND AN EYEBALL PLANET

'Eyeball' planet spied by James Webb telescope might be habitablewww.livescience.com Located 50 light-years from Earth, the beady-eyed exoplanet LHS 1140 b could be a perfect candidate for discovering liquid water outside the solar system, new research suggests.

As Wes Streeting commits to making the ban on puberty blockers for trans kids permanent, it's telling that of the 64 LGBT+ MPs now in the House of Commons, not one of them is trans. Laws that primarily impact trans people are being made without trans participation. 💜

9 months trying to find words that don’t exist to describe the indescribable, words to bring back the dead and regrow the limbs of children who scarcely had time to use them, words to touch the hearts of the butchers, words to stop the genocide. Maybe a new world will have them.

"ally" until the trannies start talking back

Wes Streeting and all the other gays who are happy to throw trans people under the bus had better savour the taste of the oppressor's boot while they can because all too soon it will be on their necks

Labour have been doing really well in their first few days in power and then, not unexpectedly, Streeting charges out to prove that he's the transphobic bigot we were pretty certain he was.

Every time the footie rolls around I am reminded that domestic violence towards women shoots up in the UK after every match we’re in - whether we win or lose. If you know anyone who might be at risk of this, I mean it, no jokes, get them out of their house this weekend

Good a time as any btw to remind you all that “gender-critical” ideology is in fact inherently homophobic: it seeks to define men and women on the basis of a normative, pseudo-scientific “role” in heterosexual reproduction. And they seek to enshrine that in law.

For a while now I have had this icky feeling that a lot of our use of AI is us just using it to find examples to show each other how bad AI is and TBH I think we should probably all stop doing that cause excessive energy consumption doesn't differentiate between real use and joke use. 😬

Now Farage has spoken as an MP for the first time, can we please have something approximating scrutiny of him from at least the lobby? Time to stop acting like he’s a lovable eccentric and start treating him as someone on the public payroll, who has to adhere to standards he does not share. Thanks.

In honour of TERFs being really mad about my work, let’s re-share this recent paper where I argue for a medical right to gender self-determination! 🏳️‍⚧️

🚨 Important new article on gender self-determination as a medical right in CMAJ! I argue that people have a right to gender-affirming care and that many common barriers aren’t justified by evidence. Trans health needs to centre human rights more! 🏳️‍⚧️

Gender self-determination as a medical rightwww.cmaj.ca [See related editorial at www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.240878][1] Transgender people face many formal barriers to gender-affirming care, sometimes known as “gatekeeping.” Gender-affirming care...

The question isn't whether authors who write dark fiction are dark themselves or not. The question is about dismantling long-established power structures that drastically favour the one demographic, exclude other voices and foster an environment in which ongoing abuse can occur unchecked. TY.

Artfight revenge for Tree_Head

writing was going so well and then a sudden bereavement happened and everything is upside-down. I still haven't gotten my head around it (good luck with that, future me) but I have finally finished chapter 10 of 🦈 WIP. I'm hoping the joy will come back soon but it might be a while.

I see we've reached the "famous artist credibly accused of sexual assault wasn't actually a great artist and you're a chump for liking him" phase. Consider that pretending terrible people can't make great art helps terrible people who make great art whedon their way into vulnerable communities.
