One of the toxic side-effects of the rise in transphobia is this: Any time I see an org that says it's about "women's rights" or focused on women in some way, I now stop and think, "do you mean ALL women's rights? Or just cis women?" And that fucking sucks.

She was there before Elvis, Little Richard or Johnny Cash swiveled their hips and strummed their guitars. If you've never heard Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of rock 'n' roll, you should.

It's genuinely sick that they are consulting groups that openly want to wipe trans people out on our healthcare. Beyond evil. How are these vile people not held to account

1. In a major development, the first national consensus guidelines for trans youth have been released in France. They recommend affirmation and medical care, denounce "wait and see." They refute much of the Cass Review. Subscribe to support my journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/new-french...

If you are buying these brands of tomato paste, you need to know they are being made using forced labour in China, not even Italian tomatoes as claimed on labels. See the article for some other brands outside the UK. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I can take or leave LOTR, The Silmarillion, what have you, but if he wrote nothing other than the postscript to this invitation card, J.R.R. Tolkien would have a secure place in history.

You can tell these Christmas lights are British because setting 8 suggests you might have become over-excited by the first 7 settings & need to damn well get a grip of yourself.

What's the stupidest thing you ever got in trouble for? I have... a few, some of which I've detailed here before. But you might not have heard about the time the Daily Mail did a bullet-point scare job on me in 2016, because I tricked Selfridges staff into printing rude words on some Nutella jars.
