This child’s suicide was preventable, the coroner said, but not by the NHS as it is currently operating.

Good luck to the students getting #TLevels and #ALevels today.
In case we've forgotten - and we probably have - this is the Covid cohort we assumed would be fine. Spoiler, they weren't. But they have done amazingly and we should give them way more credit than they get.

The NHS are forcibly detransitioning trans kids in Brighton and calling it “managed withdrawal.” Their own impact assessment acknowledges trans kids will be at increased risk of harm as a result, don’t want this, and are likely to just use DIY hormones instead

The EHRC is meant to protect everyone’s rights. But internal documents reveal a different story: repeated meetings with anti-trans lobbyists, legal bias, and secret coordination. We filed the FOI. Here’s what we found.

I see the Royal Festival Hall is asking trans people and those with disabilities to share the same toilets. This is both unfair on people with disabilities and breaches the Human Rights Convention by treating trans people as a third sex.
I hope everyone ignores their stupid signage.

Another scandalous aspect of our broken ADHD dx system is that sometimes people with an existing dx and meds in one area move home to another area - and are told they cannot have their meds any more until they queue up to be reassessed AGAIN! Which could take years.

Freedom of assembly and association (but not for trans+ protesters). Respect for private and family life (but not for trans+ people) Freedom of expression (unless you are criticising the regulator). The degree to which the EHRC has become unmoored from Convention rights is quite shocking.
In mindblowing news, the EHRC's landlord, it seems at the EHRC's behest, is trying to injunct protestors from protesting outside the EHRC's offices.

YESSSSS! 🔥🎉🔥 This was a very, very wise move by Boundless/Unbound. Now they need to pay everyone else.
Today, Boundless paid me what the owed me and also paid the artist the remaining fees they owed her. There are still contributors who haven’t been paid and I will make sure they do. Thank you all who supported us and joined us in making a loud fuss!
This whole Unbound/Boundless fuckery just makes me hate the publishing world even more.
It's either evil fucks like Rupert Murdoch and the big 5 who have money and will pay or small, indie outfits who seem more ethical and then go broke or screw you over.
I love being a writer and hate the hustle.

Totally this. Some folks think it’s cool to shrug off lost freelance payments, as if it’s vulgar to talk money.
I do think this nonchalance about not paying is a class thing, not recognising that for some people it makes the difference between them paying the mortgage or not. Some people are owed thousands. Most of us is hundreds or less, but for everyone it’s not something we can shrug off.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.
