Had a wonderful time this evening seeing @robinince.bsky.social talk - occasionally about his new book, mostly a wild ride through his brain. Amazing and surprisingly emotional for me, walked back to my car clinging to the book like a life raft.

I know it is early days but seeing Reform up nine and Labour down seven in council elections makes me wonder if labour will think “oh no, we’ve not gone right enough” or may make more of them realise they are driving the wrong way

I’m an introvert. It’s not that I don’t like people — I just value peace. I recharge in quiet, not crowds. I speak when it matters. I’m observant, not distant. I crave real connection, not constant attention. I’m low maintenance, high depth. If I choose your company, it means everything.

In case anyone needs a little something to read today, this is a timely reminder that Terry Pratchett’s treatment of gender identity in the Discworld novels is graceful, charming, and ahead of his time.

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

Christ, can’t we stop dehumanising trans lives and using them as clickbait - look to see despicable promotion of misogyny in USA by white supremacist men (and often predators) , see how the incel movement grows in UK schools and bars

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A man (70s?) and a small human (3?) are walking down a hilly street after a windy night, righting all the rubbish bins that have blown over. Small human is sternly supervising. He'll not rest until Grandad has everything back in its right place! (1)

I'm doing this thing every Wednesday, making a video to promote my podcast, because Instagram likes reels and I want everyone who may like the show to know that it exists. Here's the one I made today, which is (I think) the first video I've uploaded to Bluesky. (Achievement unlocked!)

Listen,I get it,I was an HP kid too. That shit was my first hyperfixation,it took over my whole life.But you know what I did when I found out the creator was a TERFy pos?I stopped supporting it! It’s that easy, trust me. The books really aren’t even that good. I promise you’ll find something better.
