Ugh. Love and hugs to all my trans friends. Remember that this is not the end – they used to define marriage as exclusively heterosexual. Things can change, and hopefully they will. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Nah trans women are women actually. They got it wrong.

A fringe group of bigoted weirdos have dragged British media, government, and law into their hateful obsession with trans people. Grim, depressing, and dangerous. Everyone with power in the UK who's played along should be ashamed of themselves.

I don't want to overhype the Disney+ show I have been helping to write over the past three (!!) years but I'm hoping we do the ghost of Lord Byron proud when it comes out next year

need animation studios to take risks again if we just keep sterilely rebooting the same concepts forever how will we ever again reach the creative heights of the crazy shit they used to put on tv. the people yearn for"a boy wakes up with lord byron's ghost in his mouth after sucking on skull plasma"

Almost everyone I know in the arts bar the luckiest of the lucky few - the most talented people I know, the funniest and most industrious people I know - almost universally people are saying they don’t think they can afford to do this job anymore.

At the @societyofauthors.bsky.social we are speaking out strongly against this 'opt out' scheme, which places the burden on creators to monitor & notify. It would be like having to put notes on your wallet that say 'Robber, don't steal this'.

We have completely killed the middle class in our industry, across all professions. For writers, contributing episode gigs are treated as prod co tax break opportunities and parades of ‘new writers’ are churned through with no onward work for the last ‘new’ tranche. You used to have careers in eps.

the B52s don't tell you what you're actually supposed to do if you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says "fifteen miles to the Looooooooove Shaaaaaaaaaaack". could be "alert the authorities because the owner is a notorious sex cult leader" for all we know

I'm going to be very blunt here: it is profoundly ignorant and offensive to suggest these are comparable things to actual colonialism. These just aren't the same as being driven off your land, as being militarily subjugated, as having your children taken. And yes, it does have to get that extreme.

"The limits of power" I weep atop my three-figure majority, in a parliament I control the schedule for, aided by a powerful whipping system, at the heart of one of the most centralised political systems in the democratic world, and alongside a wide selection of extra-parliamentary powers.

Awful confession: me too. Also I know it will push exactly the buttons I’m ready to have pushed, which I suspect aren’t the most helpful ones, and I’m not sure I have the willpower for that. Right now, I’m hoping some Must See TV might be a balm rather than an accelerant.

Read together, this is quite sad? The clear focus feels far more on reducing costs than helping people back to work, with the underlying assumption being that most people with "less severe conditions" are exaggerating. The cuts to future claimants are frankly, horrific.
