And as far as I can tell they're moving the Irene/Soames relationship to them getting together.
Which means they get to have the "omg she's marrying him but doesn't love him" plot while, I suspect, dodging the marital rape plot - which is, like, the central emotional crux of the whole damn saga

Soames and Young Jolyon fighting over who gets the family firm?
The whole point of Young Jolyon is he runs off with the governess to become a mediocre watercolour painter. Lose that and you lose Old Jolyon's later reconnection with his family against the mores of polite society.

Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.
I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Sadly there's definitely an online/offline split about understanding the need to drop awful people
Like, my family are more left than right but I'm currently not talking to them after an argument that grew out of me gently asking my brother not to solely communicate in Fr Ted and Harry Potter memes

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Also I've officially broken 20K on this novel (which is huge for my ADHD-and-long-COVID-addled brain), and I've got a good 3Kish in random notes.
So who knows, I might actually finish a novel this time.

People often say that the key to a good story is a well-placed character death, but things have got a lot more interesting in my WIP now that I've decided to let one of the characters live instead.

Never been more important to buy from craftspeople, painters, potters, illustrators, makers, carpenters, bakers and the like. Seek them out, follow them, support them and buy their goods. Use them or lose them etc etc

The anti-trans movement is from the top down is, to put it delicately, rife with nonces and child abusers, and it's exasperating how it's ignored. I'd detail some of the shit these anti-trans ideologues are involved with, but it would make me want to claw my own eyes out before I got half way done.
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

I mentioned previously how Brianna was taught in school primarily in isolation and idk if non brits know what that means.
Tldr it's a room, generally with stalls in it so you can't see other kids and a teacher watching you. it's generally where kids are sent for bad behaviour.

this is reflected in media surrounding Brianna's school life. Teachers describe positive relationships with her - but she didn't have any real friends at the school.
and like... she was there literally for no other reason than being trans. that was it. that was their solution to her being bullied.

Just learned about the “Beans is How” campaign, and I’m all about this vision. Unironically, this is a very smart idea, and one of the better-thought out Theories of Change I’ve seen. Who cares if Big Bean interests are involved, this is an essential change to make sdg2advocacyhub.org/beans-is-how/
