Ideally, in fact, with something very heavy inside.

Hey @portalbookshop.bsky.social, thoughts? (Sadly Category Is, a Scottish queer bookshop for a Scottishly titled book, aren't on bsky, only insta)

Though it feels like the Guardian has somewhat pivoted - the more they let @libbybrooks.bsky.social especially write those pieces the better, on current form.

Somehow find a way to cover the Greens even less than they already do...

I’m so tired of institutions founded on trust and right action deciding that because the truth is unpopular the obvious remedy is to lie more.

For sure! (Eastercon 2027 too, maybe? šŸ˜‡)

There was no sense that gay people should be stakeholders, let alone leaders, in the discussion. At best, they were used for brief testimony during which they could exemplify the problem (namely, themselves). You can guess how that has aged. Something to think about when you read trans coverage.

Yeah, that hits about right...

Which is kinda consistent across Chung's work but feels more striking in a novel/la (I'm not sure the exact word count) than short fiction. But basically, yeah, it won't be on genre ballots I suspect but ought to be (as with Chandrasekera last year)

Stephenson's entire career has been: "Discrimination against women is a bad! It should stop!" ("Unless it's against *those* women. Their pain and suffering doesn't count. Actually, maybe we could make it worse?")

I sat in a room with Mary-Ann and, as an actual trans woman, heard her bigotry, and heard her try and gaslight myself and everyone else in the room about it. I have seen the letters she signed supporting transphobic causes, I have seen her organisations oppose trans people's civil rights.

So long as they go as hard as the opening of Up, no objection to that!
