I wrote Yes, You Are Trans Enough. I’m also a big ol’ nerd who really likes Warhammer. Yada yada yada, I’ll write a proper bio later.

I’ve been playing Watch Dogs Legion lately, as I found it in a box and realised I never gave it a fair chance. Its fun! I love that it fully commits to the “Play as anyone you want” mechanic. Like you can probably tell from this screenshot which character is mine, right? 😗

I wish I could pay to watch new movies at home. I want to see Alien Romulus this Friday but I can’t be arsed going to a cinema to watch it. I mean c’mon, it’s 2024. Just take my money and let me watch it in my own time, on my own TV, wearing my own pyjamas.

Depression is flaring up pretty badly right now. Booo~ ☹️ My strategy of sleeping all day and keeping the curtains drawn isn’t working for some reason? Presently I only really wake up in the dead of night, where I shamble around like an aimless Nosferatu looking for ice cream.

I have a local friend who kept trying to convince me to learn boxing with her last year. I was interested but never bothered actually going to a training session with her… Now that I’m obsessed with Rocky movies though… 👀 Should I do it? Should I try learn to box?

My Rocky Baloba (Rocky 6) reactions: They fridged Adrian! As annoyed as they initial made me, I begrudgingly admit it did play into the plot very well. Overall I really liked it. I thought the antagonist was quite undercooked, but the movie had lots of heart and left me with a smile.

My thoughts on Rocky 5 boil down to: Where is Paulie’s robot? Why is Rocky Jr. wearing a bathtub chain on his ear? Did Don King sue over being so clearly ripped off? Is Micky’s ghost haunting his old boxing ring? How did the pet shop hold Adrian’s job for her for 20 years?

Okay! I’ve continued my Rocky marathon and here are my thoughts so far, which nobody asked for: Rocky 1: Masterpiece. Rocky 2: Masterpiece. Rocky 3: Entertaining, a bit unnecessary but still has heart. Rocky 4: Almost a cartoon. Fun, but has no message, and painfully straightforward plot.

After hearing it’s a great movie since I was about 7 years old, last night I finally decided to watch Rocky. I loved it. I assumed the whole movie would be about boxing. I didn’t realise it’s actually a character driven drama about poverty and regret. It also made me cry 💖

@gavthorpe.bsky.social I just saw the new book announcement! Super exciting, I can’t wait to read it 😁

I wanna paint Warhammer, but at present I need to build and prime Warhammer. Does anyone want to come around and build my models for me while I nap?

Despite Dark Tower being my favourite book series of all time (and across the entire multiverse), I have a shocking confession to make: I’ve never read Salem’s Lot. It’s been on my to-read list for about 20 years. Until now~! ⚡️🎉💥🔥🙀 I’m about half way through it and I’m loving it 🧛‍♂️

I wonder how many amazing stories and worlds we'll never get to experience because the creator is stuck feeling imposter syndrome, or fear of failure. So instead that art sits eternally unseen. It doesn't help that publishing is so focused on the big debut success these days.

It’s Acolyte day. But there is no Acolyte to watch. Sad. We can have season 2, yes? Please? I need more of sexy Sith stranger man.

How wild is it that we found out UFOs are real but we were all so stressed out and depressed we just kinda shrugged and moved on?

I’m currently planning a Warhammer Fantasy one-shot for my 40K TTRPG group ✨ But I’m also reading the Enemy Within campaign and getting tempted to run it. I’ve never played it but I’ve always heard amazing things. If we play weekly we should wrap up the campaign in a brisk 4-6 years or so, yes? ☺️

I started copying a little trans-related rant I wrote on Twitter to post it here too, but I’ve managed to stop myself. The whole point of using this place is it doesn’t have to be a repeat of that transphobic hellhole. So instead I’ll resume talking about Warhammer, writing, and whatever else. 🧘‍♀️

It's kinda funny I've gotten so into Skaven, because rats terrify me in real life! Though that said, I love Orks and I suppose I'd be pretty scared if an Ork came running through my house too...

Mittens has now officially spent more time living here than he spent living on the street as a stray 💜 Please try befriend and adopt your local strays 💖 It’s amazing how cuddly they can be when they feel safe enough to let their defences down 😽

I think the best part of yesterday’s visit was the long conversation I had at closing time with a kid who was telling me about her love of jelly beans and being a space unicorn 🦄 ✨ She also told me she really doesn’t like her friend’s stinky farts though. I agreed that farts are bad ☺️
Made it back to Warhammer World! 💖💜 I’ll be here until closing time, and here most of tomorrow. Please say hello if you spot me around! ☺️✨

Never thought I’d see a massive Labour landslide win and feel so little triumph. I despise the Tories. I’ve voted Labour my whole life. And yet the new prime minister days ago said trans women don’t belong in women’s spaces. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I’m such a dork I actually gasped when I realised that was cortosis-weave metal in The Acolyte last week 😄 So cool! I’m really loving the series. I’d be delighted to see more stuff from the old novels make it into the new Star Wars continuity.

It’s Warhammer World week~! 💖 The yearly pilgrimage begins on Thursday. Last year’s visit was a blast. This time we’re staying nearby and spending a long weekend there playing (and shopping) ✨ Also looking forward to taking fun photos again ☺️

I need new brushes for my Warhammer painting, but I’m too stubborn to give up on my current dying brushes! 😤 …and poor. I’m also too poor. But mostly stubborn! No, that’s a lie. It’s mostly that I’m poor.

I took a break from writing to give Stellaris a go and now I’m hooked on watching my little space empire grow ✨🚀 From what I’ve heard I’ll start to really get to grips with the game after I put in another 600 hours or so?

Great to see the British media going wild about “Gender ideology” 🤪 It’s just a nonsense phrase to appeal to bigoted gasbags who’ve bought into the moral panic that trans people are cartoon villains. Oooo~ Fear us and our sinister ideology of “Let people be who they are so they feel happy” 👻 💀
