Es erschreckt mich immer wieder, wie wenig die Wünsche der betroffenen Kinder in solchen Situationen berücksichtigt zu werden scheinen.

Gnadengesuch vor Weihnachten: Mutter sitzt im Gefängnis ohne Prozess
Eine Mutter sitzt in Niedersachsen wegen eines Sorgerechtsstreits für 150 Tage in Haft. Sie hatte kein Gerichtsverfahren. Wie kann das sein?

Again, I truly *loved* this week’s episode of Heated Rivalry, but IT IS A WISH FULFILLMENT ROMANCE. The success of a gay hockey romance TV show, largely watched by people who are neither hockey players nor hockey fans, is not “proof that the world is ready and all we would do is love you”

Die #Kohlendioxidemissionen sinken trotz Wirtschaftsflaute nur im Schneckentempo. Um unsere #Klimaschutzziele einzuhalten und den Planeten nicht zu grillen, müssten die Emissionen deutlich schneller sinken. Es ist derzeit nicht erkennbar, wie die Regierung das erreichen will.

JK Rowling is destroying children's lives. Stop buying her shit, watching her shows, playing her games. You're funding her hate campaign. Move on.
Article in the Times today.

JKR has set her pre action attack team on a school supporting trans youth.

A father is threatening to sue for allowing trans children to use the loo they‘ve always used.

“I don’t wish trans people any ill”, he says, after casting them as voyeurs and sexual predators.

Morgen im Bundesrat werdens vermutlich mixed feelings. Liegt aber auch daran: Landesregierungen müssten hier explizit sehr scharfer Kritik an #Gasbohrungen #Nordsee ZUSTIMMEN. Dann dreht das Ganze ne Runde im Bundestag und kommt zurück. Und dann reichten Enthaltungen der Länder für de facto "nein".
Wird es eng für das Abkommen? Noch steht die finale Entscheidung nicht an, aber eine Etappe.

Es ist so ekelhaft und perfide, wie von Seiten der sog. C-Partei vermehrt Stimmung gemacht wird gegen Menschen mit Behinderung(en), die eh schon um alles kämpfen müssen, die sich Unterstützung und Teilhabe regelmäßig erstreiten müssen, die bereits jetzt überproportional finanziell belastet sind.

I just read Six People to Revise You and Ooooofff all the (good) feels
Chiming in! I'm loving @alixeharrow.bsky.social's The Everlasting right now. Also really dug @nassos.bsky.social's Sour Cherry, @julieleong.bsky.social's Keeper of Magical Things, and @rozaki24.bsky.social's Grimoire Grammar School PTA.

Station security chief T'xtrt looked at the Humans going into the meeting hall next to the bar.

"One day you'll have to explain Human religion to me."

Thelma, the barkeep, shrugged. "Not sure it was wise to bring it with us."

OMG everyone!!! Mr Collins in Love is one of the 10 New York Times Best Romances of 2025!!!!

I'm literally dancing round the living room with joy 🥰
Mr. Collins in Love by @leewelchwriter.bsky.social. Truly a “hold my beer” romance premise — what if one of the most annoying characters in literature was the hero and he’s still Mr. Collins but now you loved him and wanted him to get the queer HEA he deserves? Landscapes Tolkien would die for.

If you like Pride and Prejudice, you probably remember Mr Collins? He’s the odious clergyman who asks lovely heroine Elizabeth Bennet to marry him. She refuses. He’s one of the most ridiculed chara…

Featuring lashings of romance and SFFH, a fair bit of murder, and some extremely specific history nerding, like you weren't expecting that.

If I can grow my Patreon x20, I'll be able to write full-time without crashing and burning. But it really is the ✨worst✨ possible time for people to add a single non-essential subscription to their budgets. Still! Even x5 would make a huge difference. I strive, I dream, I persevere, etc.

I've just finished a draft. I'm leaving it for a few days before I re-read it. What do I do with my precious free time, you ask?

Ooohh I'd definitely read that!! 👀
Apparently, #cosyfantasy is a thing that publishers are looking for now.

If you're a publisher looking for a small town romance between a vampire and a human, I have one that's ready to sub.
