Trans girls banned from joining Girlguiding
Girlguiding says the move is in response to the Supreme Court ruling that said sex meant biological sex in equality law.

Putting money in Rowling's pocket is also why we ignore press releases from comics events that include Potter programming. It's funding her hate. I'd implore every creator/publisher/potential guest to consider this when approached by those cons. - Andy

BEANO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2025 (DC Thomson) - I usually dread festive issues themed around 'A Christmas Carol' because it's just such a played out thing but (a) I am not the target audience for this so that's irrelevant and (b) this is actually really very good! Typical anarchic Beano fun.

Hard to express how much I love this.
Twitter is the Nazi site for Nazis. Delete it, ESPECIALLY if you're a famous person or political leader.
Abughazaleh does a great job explaining that it's also TRASH and doesn't even let you reach your audience.
Get the hell off.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Still… there’s more heart, soul and talent in this than all the generative AI “art” in the world combined.
A not-at-all-a-scammer type has just e-mailed me to say that recently "a couple of collectors have been captivated by your artworks" and enquiring about the possibility of acquiring some of my material.
It's this one they're after isn't it?

Time for a thread of this year's holiday-themed comics. First up SUPERGIRL #8, a series that has been a delight this year. Sophie Campbell's writing is joyful, Haining's art is lively and fun, and we get a meaning-of-Christmas story that nevertheless avoids being saccharine or twee.
