You know your date is about to go poorly when he nearly chokes on how "spicy" green Tabasco is, but even I could not have predicted what comes next 🤣

I guarantee my book is not at all full of healthy behaviours and relationships, in fact some quite fucked up stuff happens and I am expecting you to just deal with it. Thank you in advance for now cancelling me.

this is one of the ways in which I think the modern publishing environment, which requires the vast majority of authors to do all of their own promotional work, has been incredibly damaging "I got canceled on social media" can be a real career-ruining thing! it's not irrational to worry about it!

Doing a Harry Potter collab is absolutely wild and indefensible, doing it and saying you’ll donate a cut of the proceeds to GLAAD tells me you ran the numbers and decided your profits were more important than our entire community’s survival but you feel a LITTLE bad.

Once again the far right deputises emotionally unstable busybody creeps to keep the rest of us in line

How fun that anytime a woman goes to the toilet now she might be photographed and have her picture posted online for the crime of peeing while insufficiently feminine.

There is no Antimemetics Division by qntm Sabrina by Nick Drnaso The Principle of Moments by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson Outsider by Jade Du Preez Sunset at Zero Point by Simon Stalenhag All friggin great, go read em' #SummerOfStories

Worth noting that this is what it takes for National to rule you out: wanting to tax rich people more. NZ First hadn't been ruled out for promoting transphobia or racism, nor has ACT, though issues aren't deal breakers for National

"Death of the author" is a literary theory that emphasizes the personal interaction and connection to an artistic work over the concept of an authorial ultimate meaning. "Separate the art from the artist" is a catchphrase to mumble to yourself so you can justify buying more Harry Potter shit.

Arrived at work to find I had a cockroach in my hair. In. My. Hair.

Musk's daughter Viv has something to say to her father.

There's that horror novel I did one and a half drafts of (bunch of zombies locked up in a research facility slowly losing their humanity). Liked bits of it, the first few chapters are good stuff, but it had problems too vast to ever be fixed. #SummerOfStories

"Alison provided her with another parcel of food, which she devoured with gusto, despite the woman’s pleas not to choke herself. She had learned not to take time with meals and could get down a rat, bones and all, in about ten seconds without gagging." #WIPSnip

Of course Elliot Page is playing a cis character but... still. There's something there. It *feels* deliberate.

I don't think I could possibly argue that I think it's intentional, but the fact that the film begins with a trans person being sacrificed, and that this decision haunts Odysseus throughout the film and signifies the point where everything starts to go wrong, certainly felt significant to *me*.

Ah, I think we are at different ends of a sensory spectrum here

There were anti-immigration riots in Belfast last month, but sure the real threat is trans people pointing out the government is murdering them

Gosh I wonder why he disabled replies on this, were people pointing out something about the policies of the party he belongs to? We may never know

Sorry but what do they mean journalists are self-censoring on trans issues, they're publishing hundreds of venomous articles a day about us. What does it look like when they're not self-censoring

150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.
