This looks like a fantastic upcoming project, currently in the market for backers.
Our third @starsandsabers.bsky.social anthology, OF DREAD, DECAY, AND DOOM, has the most incredible lineup of horror authors. Still, the crowd-funding campaign could use some help. All shares appreciated!

we produce tonnes of marketable, valuable, productive stuff that we could sell to the world — like university education, and television programmes, for example — but the government has no interest in improving the conditions for making and selling these things
The UK’s economic problems are quite deep-rooted. The best summary I can offer is “we don’t make enough valuable, productive stuff and sell it to the world any more”.
Things like planning and energy no doubt play a role in that - but I don’t think they’re enough to fix it on their own

EHRC requests FOUR WEEKS to respond on a legal question they've already said is clear.

They originally only wanted two weeks for their entire consultation, which would affect all trans people... but they want twice that to respond to a letter which might affect them.

Not sure how you say to someone "you look a bit like a man/woman, can I see your birth certificate please" with any 'sensitivity' whatsoever.

GENOCIDE BAD is a NYT and USA Today Bestseller!!! In 40 years of publishing, indie press @interlinkbooks.bsky.social, the only Palestinian-owned press in the US, has faced severe censorship and hate. I am so honored to have worked with them on this book!

@simkern.bsky.social I’ve only just finished the forward of Genocide Bad

I’m grateful I stumbled upon this book and your YouTube channel

Thank you for writing a book that I’m sure I’m going to enjoy, occasionally laugh and most certainly learn something from

This is what happens when anti-vaccine rhetoric takes hold. Lives are lost. People get incredibly sick or are left with lifelong disability from a preventable illness.

We had all but eradicated measles. It doesn’t need to be this way.

Get your vaccine and wear a respirator (especially in hospital)

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

In case you’re not sure why the NHS isn’t working any more, it’s because the service is being slowly dismantled by politicians who are turning it into a cash cow for private companies, starving it of resource so it doesn’t work properly, and enabling the private sector to expand rapidly 🚨

No one prepares you for the guilt & fear you experience when you become chronically ill.

Even if you’re lucky enough to have a supportive family/partner… there’s always the fear they could leave. The guilt that you’re a burden. The pain of wishing you didn’t NEED someone so much.

The game of "here's my scope, please give me your estimate" is ultimately broken

1. The scope *will* change
2. The estimate is unreliable anyway
3. The decision-making is around price in isolation and not value

Ultimately, we don't exploit "here's my budget; what's the best I can get for it?" path
