Kier Starmer, the man who made Labour the right wing populist vote. He doesn't deserve to be a member of the Labour party.
Starmer's Twitter feed this morning.

Sigh.

Here's one for the participants of our retreat last weekend. A place to submit what you wrote in @emmaineurope.bsky.social's nature poetry workshop!🌳🪻📚
The forest doesn’t ask for attention. It just keeps growing, quietly and completely. If that kind of patience feels like home, make something from it.

Now open for Fiction, Poetry, Nonfiction, Translation, and Art!

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Never going to stop shouting about this. You need to buy trans books now. Especially in hardcopy or DRM free formats.

Don't say "it'll never happen." Look around. It's already happening.
On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
