Overheard my 8 yr old at the Spelljammer table announcing "We can take a break once we've killed him!"
Rather reminiscent of the time many aeons ago when we played urban fantasy game in a pub & Dom said "Let's shank him when he gets back from the toilet!" a little too loud. #rpg #spelljammer #d&d

Banned transphobia from a fb group I moderate so apparently now free speech is dead. It is SHOCKING how many white men are affronted by the idea that they're not allowed to be transphobic dickbags in one small space of the internet anymore. #facebook #transrights #transwomenarewomen #byefuckers

Well that was an expectedly shit morning for the UK. So depressing to see a once great country sink into voting for xenophobia and hate. Fuck Reform UK right into the sea.

Well Keir Starmer and his shitty opinions can go get in the sea too. TERF Island seems to be in full bigoted flow these days, it's so depressing to be part of a race to the bottom with the US. Sympathy for all those affected. Trans women are women!

This is of very great concern. Labour has effectively declared war on trans academics and students. By defining transphobia as a “free speech” issue it is going to protect transphobes in higher education while preventing trans-inclusion. This is the opposite of “free speech”.

The university is fined by the higher education regulator for failing to uphold freedom of speech.

Aaah look at that, Guildhall School of Misery and Trauma once more in the news for not protecting students from gross professors abusing their power. This kind of thing is rife in the music world, as evidenced by the Pickett trial and what happened at Chathams.

It should have been the start of a great career in classical music for Idit Arad. Everything was lining up for the talented 18-year-old…

It seems a misogynistic rhetoric will still win the day when defending a minor level male celebrity. Wildly disappointed in the court system on this day that's for sure.

A rather classic and explicitly textbook example of DARVO from Charles Hanson here in his coercive control and abuse trial. Absolutely disgusting the way some abusers think they can just turn the accusations back on their victims.
I can only hope that the jury can see through his bullshit.

The Bargain Hunt auctioneer is accused of controlling or coercive behaviour, but has alleged his wife ridiculed him and made him subservient to her.

Somewhat miffed to find out at the very end that this is only half of a very charming and easy to read dark fairy tale romp! On the plus side I guess at least March 2025 isn't too painful of a wait for book 2..

Another day, another book reluctantly finished.
I've been dragging out the final hundred pages of Gorse because I just didn't want it to end. What a spectacular work! The setting so viscerally vibrant, each sentence so evocative.
