Polls predicted a loss and the people said different. Important reminder.

Been thinking a lot lately about how vampires are relatable to me as a trans person. The death of your old life to live a new one...not wanting to linger where you aren't welcome/invited, saying to hell with gender norms, exploding into a flurry of bats to avoid people I don't like...

... wait so tiktok doesn't actually block ANY of the words people euphemise like death ("unlife") it's just intentional behaviour to avoid other users' filters? hey hey that fucking sucks let people not see things they don't want to see

okay I feel stupid but I'm confused by the TTRPG Class Identifier. It says like and subscribe to find my class but ... like what? you can't like a profile, right? like all their posts?

ARC giveaway: I have too many Sunforge ARCs and they've basically gone out to every critic in NZ at this point, but my US-sized box still has too many in it. Next five people with an NZ postal address to reply to this can have one. (under all relevant NDAs etc please don't distribute it pre-launch)

I'm re-reading Book of the New Sun for the first time in years and I'm struck by how like ... it precedes what we'd call 'grimdark' by decades but it's also a golden example of how to do it right, it's this huge grim opera but the PEOPLE feel real, it's a miserable world that real humans inhabit

the pandemic really destroyed my ability to read paper books, but I absolutely hooned Adrian Tchaikovsky's Elder Race earlier this week and I'm wondering whether my brain hasn't finally started putting itself back together

I don't want to see former Tory MPs on Strictly, in the Jungle, playing Traitors, hosting panel shows, or making travelogues or documentaries. I never want to see their smug, shiny faces again. I want them all to fuck permanently off.

Starmer got less votes today than Corbyn did in the "disaster" of 2019, which Labour have given up absolutely every principle to avoid repeating. This wasn't a Labour win, it was a Conservative loss. Remember that for next time.
UK Labour's last three vote counts, percentages and seats. Man that's one fucked up voting system. 2024: 9,650,254 / 33.8% / 411 2019: 10,269,051 / 32.1% / 202 2017: 12,877,918 / 40.0% / 262

with 119 seats currently and five remaining uncounted, this is officially the worst Conservative election result ever -- their previous low was 129 in 1906

Liz Truss in an interview is blaming the Tories’ loss on a failure to repeal the Human Rights Act, so they could treat refugees and asylum seekers even more appallingly.

KJKs Terf Party got 5077 votes or around 317 for each of the 16 candidates they stood. The Monster Raving Looney party got 5169 votes.

Labour has so totally failed to make a case for an open & tolerant society, that they have created a racist political consensus that has only bolstered the far right.
