I went from being a fan of Rick and Morty to getting tired of it and thinking it's not that clever like a lot of people who fell off it around season 3-5, but I'm coming back round to thinking it's a good show again now.

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Finished The Stone Rose. I'm not sure the structure of this book entirely works, but it is quite readable with just how bonkers it gets #DoctorWho 📚🪐 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Not to put too fine a point on it, the Supreme Court ruling, the EHCR guidance, the government's ramping up of anti-trans policies...people are dying because of them right now. There are trans and non-binary individuals killing themselves because of all of this right now. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Okay, there's plenty of questionable stuff in The Reality War, but no one seems to be pointing out the really neat thematic symmetry of the 15th Doctor's life beginning and ending with him preventing a single child from being erased from history #DoctorWho

ANYONE who thinks ANY group should accept fewer human rights than everyone else is totally unfit to serve as an EHRC commissioner.

Currently rereading this partly because @andwbcpodcast.bsky.social have covered it and I wanted it fresh in my mind before listening to the podcast #DoctorWho 📚🪐

Some negative reactions to finale been over the top but this is the 1 thing I will not defend. She went from vulnerable at times but strong person did/call out the right things to my personality is existing for child & lives with some guy we never see. It’s gross ending to great character #DoctorWho

The #DoctorWho finale was bonkers and I found it very watchable, but then I also felt like that about the season one finale initially, only to pick on its shortcomings more later on so...

Only one side of the "trans debate" has ever been ideological. Only one side has the luxury to just walk away anytime they feel like it, and it isn't trans people.

The universe of Mortal Engines is so richly crafted and unique, it's good to finally have more stories told within it #BookSky 📚🪐 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Was so engrossed in this book that I missed my stop on the train the other day. Suffice to say, I really enjoyed it. Review coming up #BookSky 📚🪐

This is amazing! I have seen lots of boilerplate (meaning they’ve been written by a Starmer/McSweeny wonk) letters from MPs positioning trans women and cis women against each other. This campaign shows that cis women are not, in fact opposed to trans people’s human rights. Please sign and share.

I don’t think it’s possible to overstate what effect forced detransition would have on people who have experienced gender dysphoria and then taken the step to come out and get treatment. It would be a death sentence for many. It’s genocidal.

I just signed this petition - cis women letting the government know that the oppression of trans people does not happen in our name and we do not believe it will improve our safety. Add your signature here - www.change.org/p/not-in-our...

Came across this blogpost of Philip Reeve talking about Mortal Engines, his first novel which he spent over 10 years reworking almost beyond recognition, and was rejected by many agents along the way. If there's a lesson in this I think it's don't expect your creative ideas to be right first time 📚🪐

Juno Dawson, love your stuff, but what possessed you to write a scene where the stand-in for a Palestinian genocide survivor is being tortured by the Doctor out of pure malice? Whatever the narrative justification, just why the frick would you have that in your story to begin with??? #DoctorWho

We got a Eurovision themed Doctor Who episode written by Juno Dawson. This was an episode that I so wanted to fall in love with just on that basis alone... The more I think about it, the fact the themes are so problematic really is a shame and a major frustration #DoctorWho

Despite rumours that #DoctorWho has been cancelled, filming for a new season appears to be taking place in residential Blackpool.

A reminder that phrases like "sex based" or "biologically based" as my local MP used in recent email correspondence are all more polite, euphemistic ways of saying "excluding trans people."

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

This is absolutely appalling, and the inevitable result of a concerted campaign of bigotry legitimised by the Supreme Court and EHRC.

I still can't get over how a group of trans women did a topless protest against the segregation of trans people, and the "Gender Criticals" are convinced that some of the protesters are cis because of how they look You couldn't write a better argument. Unbelievable
