The EHRC's ‘interim guidance’ is transphobic, harmful - and legally wrong.
We’re in the High Court tomorrow to challenge it.

Hey websites: I would very much like to read these articles.
Okay sorry I just want to say that it's a pretty clear sign both of how devastated the media landscape is and how hard it has especially hit women that we are not INUNDATED with cool writing at every single outlet about Silksong and WOMEN

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.

One thing I’m glad I learned young was everyone at their best is temporarily ablebodied. Disabled people are the largest minority group that you can join at a moments notice. If it’s an accessible space, when you need it you’ll have better access yourself. Selfishly you should want access for all
Your new motto should be: if it’s fine for disabled people, it’s fine for me.

The funny thing is, it's only during this period of rest - of recovering from illness and being off work - that I've found the space to actually write again.
By the way, the blood-pact you signed upon becoming a creative states that you don't need to create every day. The council of creative demons allow breaks. You're fine. You're not falling behind. You're no lesser a creative for needing rest. Shit happens sometimes, bro. You're doing great.

AUTHORS!!
Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON?
Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen.

I realize there are so many fights going on right now and it's so, so hard to find the spoons to do shit like this
But censoring people, removing them from public life, is a massive step towards genocide, and we MUST fight it

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day
Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

Also worth repeating: Mamdani's greatest power isn't something just anyone can learn or emulate. He's got an entire PHILOSOPHY and MORAL CORE based on care over punishment that informs everything he says and does. Without that, the charisma means nothing.

This is absolutely Mamdani's not-so-secret secret power: he knows who he is and what he believes and he wants to help ALL of us. So you can't trip him up with a trick question; you can't get a fake note out of him. BECAUSE HE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE AND HE'S DONE THE READING AND HE'S HERE FOR US.
100 percent. I think he benefits from what most great orators benefit from: he knows himself—and more importantly, he talks to (and understands) what moves people. And, as far as I can tell, he believes what he’s saying.

A lot of well meaning cis allies will still be under the impression that your average trans girl grew up just like the boys around her. I don't think many actually understand just how frequently people picked up on how we are different and considered hurting as a victimless action

"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

I still don't know exactly what the ending to Fallen Star is going to be.
The Winter Spirit (which I'm struggling with far more :') ) had a pretty solid ending from the beginning.

When in the process do you know what your ending is going to be?
I know by the end of writing the first chapter. Normally I know before that.
