In news which should be shocking to absolutely no-one with an ounce of commonsense or humanity, providing gender affirming care to trans young people reduces risks of harm.
Preventing trans young people accessing treatment has never been about "protecting children"

for, though he did not know it, Rob McKeena was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him.

The first episode of Children of the Stones was broadcast on this day in 1977. Written by Jeremy Burnham and Trevor Ray, it starred Gareth Thomas and Iain Cuthbertson. Happy day.

Terrahawks – Very British Futures
One of the hazards of nostalgia for old children's television is that fans sometimes forget they've done a lot of maturing since they watched their favourite programmes as youngsters. It became a problem for Terrahawks, Gerry Anderson's comeback to puppet adventures in the Eighties, only to face criticisms from the viewers who'd grown up on Thunderbirds in the Sixties who found these new stringless stories somewhat lacking. Nevertheless plenty of their children did enjoy it, and not just in the UK but in countries such as the United States and Japan too.

Well this is (sort of) it for for the Jodie era. Join Jim and I as we brace ourselves for the end. Is this the specialist special? Is it derivative or a beautiful homage to the entire history of the show? And will Jim and I make it through without blubbing our hearts out?? Join us here to find out!
Our Jodie journey has come to an (almost) end with the 2022 centenary special. Jeff and I go on an emotional rollercoaster as we watch one of the most exciting episodes in the show's history.
Get the tissues ready...there will be tears...

There’s still time to listen to Ian, Jeff and I chatting about Legend. How do we believe Covid affected the story? Was it edited heavily or was it lack of footage? Is Dan channeling Steven Taylor? And did that Sea Devil call the doctor a “twat”…? 🤔

And tomorrow…it’s the end (almost).

Trigger warning ⚠️

I am a survivor of childhood SA.
I would ask that if you still are on twitter to please reconsider. I totally get using the platform to promote, keep an eye on things or to stay in contact with folk... but please reconsider. Real abuse, fake abuse... its abuse by abusers.

Noticing a lot of discourse on the Twitter/X/Grok/AI nastiness & I just want to say:

🚨 Could people PLEASE stop referring to what’s being created as “child porn”? It’s CSA Material, whether it’s AI-generated or not. 🚨

Also: if you’re still posting etc. on that vile site, you’re endorsing the CSAM.
