Don't kill anyone.

Don't spread hate.

How about we all agree on that?

If Farage saying he would consider sending refugee children into the hands of the Taliban doesn’t disgust you, nothing he ever says or does will. I suspect he knows this. I suspect he’s testing whether he’s at Trump levels of knowing nothing he could say would shake his core support.

IT IS TIME

The man looked up from his beach chair.

"Really?" He said. "I've only just retired."

Death held up a timer. A single grain was about to fall. And then... It didn't.

CURIOUS

Vetinari shrugged.

"I've only just discovered drinks with little umbrellas. I'll let it fall in a bit" 1/17

It’s not about protecting women, it never was. It’s about excluding trans people and enforcing gender norms

And it’s making public places hostile for trans women, intersex women, butch women, women who had a mastectomy, bald women, women with facial hairs, any women considered not “feminine” enough
Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.

This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

If you're a trans woman, I will respect you as a woman. No law can stop me doing that.

@jowrotethis.bsky.social listening to this week's trial by content: if you'd like a slightly more cheerful take on witch ducking, check out Gabby Hutchinson Crouch's @scriblit.bsky.social Darkwood trilogy - spins on classic fairytales plus Pratchett vibes.

Does anyone know of any other examples of where a video synchs perfectly to other audio, like the This Is America video clip set to Call Me Maybe?

We're going on a blog tour! Phantoms is available through Amazon, Waterstones, and other online places.

I wanted to boost baby loss representation in fiction as it was something I looked for but couldn't find when I needed it. This story should help others understand what it's like to go through.
