This could be of interest to you If you happen to know any queer sword/history obsessed weirdos. *cough* HEMA types, you know who I'm talking to.
I was on the Kickstarter because on synopsis and author I thought The Scottish Boy is a book that just had to exist. Glad to see it's getting a new home.

The digital offer came in and it was good!!! Still having a whip round to see if anyone wants to take digital+print plus the next novel
Sad that Bramble never took a serious look at this especially considering how good its Unbound sales were on zero marketing (peep the Amazon reviews) but 🤷🏻♀️

I get emails weekly from readers asking me how they can buy THE SCOTTISH BOY since Unbound went bankrupt. I really hope a new publisher picks it up soon :/
We already have an offer for digital rights and if nobody goes for print rights I’ll just do a Sanderson and Kickstart a nice limited edition

Absolutely. At base level, being a more inclusive space will double your potential demographic at the cost of a few prats who you wouldn't talk to given a choice.
And they give you the best and widest advertising. Nothing gets decent people in like an idiot complaining they were thrown out.

Synopsis: You need to kick more people out.
You will actually have a larger base of customers/attendees if you kick more people out. You will make more money. I am dead serious.

I'm lucky enough to be the default configuration human. I genuinely can't imagine a "therapy" that would make me attracted to men. The base concept of conversion therapy is barbaric and absurd. (this also applies to ABA "therapy" too which is basically the same thing but for autistics9
Today is International Day to End Conversion Therapy (aka #IDECT).
Conversion practices are ineffective, unscientific and cause actual harm.
Governments since 2017 have promised to bring forward a ban - but we’re still waiting.
Keep the pressure on.
Get all LGBTQ conversion practices banned in 2026.

Speaking as someone who's really missing his standard exercise, this makes sense. I'm feeling the lack and a desire to overcompensate. And when I had to do it regularly (as an instructor) got me up when other things wouldn't.
I can feel it emerging as a reactive desire, and it's not nice.

Oh, and the more I run the more regulated I am, which was the OPPOSITE in the analysis I did/maybe shared two years ago
My hopeful takeaway there is I successfully took a reactive behavior and prioritized it before an event could occur

This is really bad; Grok is now going into is third day of regularly producing nonconsensual deepfake pornography and nobody is doing anything about it. The "Mechahitler" and "white genocide" episodes were stopped much more quickly. I suppose this tells us all about relative priorities.

We are not trying to kill you, we simply acknowledge that these policies we wish to enact endanger your existence while doing nothing but add piles of money to our hoard of gold. Now, please stop calling us selfish cunts, it's not very becoming.
But can anyone tell me what this bit means? “For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty.”

I think we need a bit of a paradigm shift for video.
There's probably someone out there who could make the next Razor Blade Smile.
Storytellers who no longer need to budget for film. SFX/CGI that's easier than it's ever been. Not good shows, but... Jobbing.

It might have been possible to make video content to compete with old telly back when telly was made for buttons. But nowadays? How famous, beautiful, outrageous and rich do you reckon you need to be to get anyone’s attention?

Nice little walks too. I don't want to walk 3 miles to a footpath, do a 5 mile stroll and then have to walk 8 miles home.
Sunday constitutional- couple of miles nature trail to pub, a beer a little stroll and home. Bus at each end.

If someone tells you there's a nice little shop or pub in a village nearby, you ought to be able to get a bus to it and spend money there, then come back home in good time. Like, that isn't some wild, utopian dream. It just makes sense in terms of social and economic life.

I had pretty much my entire formal education under Section 28. Reception to degree.
I genuinely cant parse that I went from being barely able to read, to holding a degree in the time it took government to learn that it was ok to acknowledge gay people.

Those numbers for Labour are appalling but unsurprising.
Blairite Labour had a terrible record on gay rights. Didn’t abolish section 28 until their second term. Gave civil partnerships (“separate but equal”) when other European countries were giving equal marriage.
Regressive scumbags.
