Gender critical novelist urges writers to reenter prize they boycotted and may ask judges not to shortlist his novella
The gender critical Irish novelist John Boyne has said he has been brought “very close to the edge” by the backlash to his inclusion on the longlist for a literary prize for LGBTQ+ authors.
Ten authors and two judges withdrew from the Polari prize and more than 800 writers and publishing industry workers signed a petition calling on Polari to remove Boyne’s novella Earth from its longlist. Continue reading...

A reminder of a pretty etymology to brighten the day. The ‘daisy’ takes its name from the Old English ‘dæges ēage’, ‘day’s eye’, because it opens its petals at dawn, and closes them again at dusk.

UK billionaires added £182,000,000,000 to their wealth last year. That’s £35,000,000 every single day.
Their combined wealth is £795,361,000,000.
So don't let anyone tell you austerity is a “necessity”. There’s more than enough wealth to fund our NHS, public services & welfare.

£6 billion in cuts to welfare & disability benefits that will push 700,000 into poverty — instead of taxing the super-rich.
Spending on weapons of destruction — instead of helping the world’s poorest.
These political choices are cruel.
