Breaking news for Cumbria Literary Culture! @postalpathsguy.bsky.social accused of knocking off The Salt Path!

@thetimes.com - Alan Cleaver is a true original and does meticulous research on the places & people he writes about. Let's make #ThePostalPaths a bestseller instead!

So proud of @catmitchell17.bsky.social and @pennyauthor.bsky.social for making a #Disability focus issue of @thebookseller.com happen after 3 years hiatus. So heartening to see such brilliant books by disabled, D/deaf, neurodivergent writers being published across genres, as in my preview. #BookSky

Hello! Publishers! Writers! I have everything that's been submitted for this and there's c. 20 books over the entire year, not including the few I know about which didn't get submitted through @thebookseller.com, and NO poetry at all? I know there are more books by disabled writers coming than this!
NB: I'm doing the #Disability issue preview for @thebookseller.com this yr. It covers childrens, fiction, nonfiction, poetry - 1st published between JULY 2025 and JUNE 2026 inclusive - by disabled writers (w broadest definition of disability).

Publishers, please send AI / info / etc. in by May 2nd!

Lots of very high profile UK biologists sign a letter saying that biological sex isn't binary or immutable and that the Supreme Court's ruling is scientifically wrong!

We really need to hammer home how the anti-trans side is anti-science

The Supreme Court sided with FWS.

But it didn’t hear from a single trans person.
This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years.

We won't stop fighting for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

A thread in which I try to show some of the harmful practical effects on the quality of its analysis of the Supreme Court's appalling and delegitimating decision to exclude all trans voices from a judgment with profound effects on trans people's lives.
Having excluded all trans people from proceedings before it, the Supreme Court decides in favour of For Some Women Scotland.

“Fuck your single-sex spaces and fuck your Supreme Court. If I see you calling the police on a trans person in a public restroom I will personally flush your phone down the bog whilst pretending it’s Wes Streeting’s head.”
Normally rule-following autistic says fuck transphobic laws
A cisgender autistic woman who is generally so law abiding she once performed a citizen’s arrest on herself for jaywalking will not acknowledge any evil transphobic legislation, it has been confirmed....

My report in tomorrow’s Guardian on the disability benefit cuts “domino effect”: losing PIP will see unpaid carers lose their benefits too - pulling away two main strands of a family’s income at once. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
