Last 9 hours for the Genre for Trans Rights charity auction. We had some IWTTO! merch in the first round of this. Hard to find a better partnership that "support our trans siblings" and "get books".

Another thing you can do for the queer artists and writers and so on whose work you admire this Pride month: go give their books etc solid star ratings on (sigh) sites like Amazon and Goodreads. Because people who hate the existence of that work are always gonna be punitively low-rating them,

Reminder that the current EHRC just lost a case where they tried to ban protest outside their HQ. They are not currently run by serious people. If it were 1962, they’d be telling Black people they’d “just have to accept fewer rights”.

And if you think this is okay or not worth bothering about, try rereading the headline substituting "women" "Black people" "the disabled" "Muslims" or any other group of your choice for the words "trans people."

The mask really is off. We've been simmering in this space for a few years, tbh, and queer solidarity is vital.

Fuckin' YES. Not really my circus, but my and my partner's initial reaction to this whole debacle was that Unbound were surely in breach and everyone ought to try and get their IP back from those twats. Alex is doing the lord's work. 🤘

Happy sixth day of Pride! It’s 6/6! Two-thirds of the way to the Antichrist! But don’t worry, he got picked up in the Kylie VIP section and is tripping on K with a nice young Tory MP.

Kiss of the Spider Woman looks absolutely incredible. And a film musical trailer this in-your-face about being a musical?! Wicked's impact!! But also Jennifer Lopez on screen has never failed to underwhelm me... So we shall see!

Please, I'm begging you, stop with the gay jokes. Implying that tryrants and bigots are gay isn't the look you think it is. It deploys gayness as a "punchline" with the intent to emasculate and denigrate. It's inherently homophobic. Just stop.

There comes a point when I have to accept Doctor Who will never again reclaim what it was at its best for me, both because it's no longer being ran by Steven Moffat, and because I'm no longer a child.

The fact that they call it DEI when it is EDI in the UK shows you how brainwormed these rightwing fucks are.

Dan Carden, a cis gay man, campaigning to “root out DEI”. Not only does he know the leopards are going to eat his face, he wants to be a minister for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.

Finale time. So many questions to answer. Will this episode of Doctor Who contain sufficient twinks? Will they be obliterated? When will Fifteen meet a dalek? 👀

I'm not linking this nonsense, but as a queer person who grew up pre-internet in a properly rural area (3 hour drive to the closest bookstore), this just smacks of so much privilege and cishet blindness. You know what nostalgia for a time that never existed gets you? points at USA

pride is next week pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan. do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.

Pride month starts in two days.

It's hard to mention only two, but I'll use the space on the eve of Pride month to mention @bonabooks.bsky.social who are doing incredible things for UK queer SFF. And @horrorsong.blog in the US who is a terrific purveyor of the weird, a superb writer and an all-round solid chap. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It continues to amuse me that the industry that specializes in automating millions of transactions a second and crunching large amounts of unstructured data is like "Automatically identify copyright owners, ask permission, parse their replies and use only yes responses? Unpossible! Inconceivable!"
