Hello all you new friends! I write, I read, I enthuse about various TTRPGS, and I'm part of the British Fantasy Society. My signature karaoke song is the Cutting Crew's I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight. My cat has 3 legs and a hard stare. I'm older than I look.

There are a very few, very sad, very lonely people out there who want to check the contents of other folks' pants without consent.
Everyone else just wants to have a wee.

Where this is reported to us we can/will investigate - there will be no tolerance for this kind of bullshit. Trans rights are human rights.
I have heard more than one report of Toilet Policing at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social , whether by con attendees, hotel guests or staff is unclear. Just wanna say, if you're pro toilet policing fuck off before I block you.

People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.

Ok, all the talk is loud and becoming white noise, so I'm away. Been an absolute blast of a convention, and brilliant to see so many excellent people.

I feel this is one everybody should read.
I had the worst lunch. Honestly.
Maybe @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social could cover the rise in the far right, in racist attacks and, you know, the effect on millions of British people instead of platforming them every night
I'd settle for @theguardian.com doing even basic coverage of racism in the UK

Today I sat next to racists planning openly planning to murder people in a cafe
How have we come to a place where racists can openly talk about murdering people in public with no consequence?

If you don’t need convincing that women can fight, this collection is for you.
And if you do need some persuasion, this collection is also for you — though you might end up a little more paranoid than before, as not all fights are direct confrontations or fairly fought.
