Depression is a killer disease. Anyone who doesn't understand that, who minimizes it to the tune of "everybody feels bad sometimes, get over it" isn't going to have anything realistic to offer you in managing or recovering from it.

Afford them exactly as much cred as they earn.

This is not a return to social media just yet, but I’ve just announced this on The Transmissions discord so I felt I should repeat it here:

It is with much sadness that I’m announcing my departure from The Transmissions.

Similar to the saying 'history is written by the winners' is the truth that narcissists control the narrative in abusive relationships.

One thing a narcissist likes is the sound of their voice and their favourite subject is themselves, and how great they are.

Labour would never have been elected with their massive majority if they had run on the policies they are now wheeling out and there needs to be some sort of mechanism in a democracy to deal with a government that just lies to get elected. It can't just be 'ah well, have another go in 5 years'.

This is a beautifully written account of a tragic event, and I recommend it to all my writer friends. The subject meets at the crossroads of folklore and mental health, both of which are current obsessions for me. A small tangential🧵 inspired by it.

In the 19th Century, Coalbrookdale was often described as ‘Hell On Earth’ due to the impact of Industrialisation. Perhaps it was this environment that contributed to tragedy below. All I know is that William Maybury deserves to be remembered.

If you're a British trans person or ally I really think you MUST fill in the EHRC consultation on whether to segregate trans people from society

Please, I'm begging you, stop with the gay jokes.

Implying that tryrants and bigots are gay isn't the look you think it is. It deploys gayness as a "punchline" with the intent to emasculate and denigrate.

It's inherently homophobic. Just stop.

Really important that we all make a noise about this. There were some really dubious decisions (press passes being revoked @damselsdnd.bsky.social being refused a performance slot). Rumours abound that AI was behind the decision process. If it wasn't, we need a definitive statement confirming this!
I think by now we all know I had a wonderful time at #ukge2025. That said, there WAS something that really disappointed me, that I think is important to highlight - the use of AI.

It wasn't prevalent, but I saw AI art on a number of stands for board games, TTRPGs, and gaming tools alike... 🧵

White people

Acknowledge your privilege and speak out against injustice and racism because it’s the right thing to do, not for a pat on the back.

When you make a mistake, accept fault, apologise, move on. Do NOT list the reasons why.

I don’t want to hear excuses. You fucked up. Own it.

Still too poorly to brain but have some incoherent thoughts about the Godawful Rowling Woman...

So we're all agreed that JKR is an unmitigated fucking shitehawk who should be thrown down a well, right? Almost goes without saying at this point.
