RIVER is now available to request on NetGalley!!! 👀‼️🫣✨

I hope that too. As Liverpool is EXEPENSIVE and I have a con in March too! Which now thankfully is mostly paid for. But I still need to get all my Liverpool photo and autos.. So it'll be a few months before I book too!

Yikes! I had not looked at prices! But excited she's going to be there!

Oh my yes this! Deep dives in fandom with only words and friendships that have lasted decades. I wish we could have this internet back again!

Accidentally woke up at 10 today despite Calliope’s best efforts. 🤣

There is zero evidence that their ban on puberty blockers has helped a single child and plenty of evidence that it has resulted in the deaths of over 20 trans children.

They know all this.

They are happy with how things are going.

I saw her in it. But I can’t think of how to describe her performance except it was really believable. The guy playing her husband was an understudy and not as convincing;)

Ooh I’ve not heard of that one. I’ll add it to my list!

When you have to pause 20 or so pages before the end of the book because you think you know where it’s headed and you have to mentally prepare…

Found all the bits I needed for my Alex Kingston Prospero cosplay! And got my tickets for LFCC! I’m excited to finally be doing this! I hope she recognises it!

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

He’s so beautiful! He looks like my old cat! What a well loved lump 💜

I find regular squats hard because of an old knee injury! But it does look cool. And it reminds me of the gymnastics I did as a kid that I wasn’t able to continue as my mum liked ballet. I hope you enjoy it!

I did my first workout in months! Starting callisthenics. I can do decent headstands but want to do handstands too! I’m hoping I enjoy this one enough to continue having grown board of weights and cardio!

This is honestly just vile misrepresentation

If you out someone who is a member of a marginalised group. If you out their protected characteristic

IT IS NOT GOSSIP

It is a threat to their safety, their right to privacy, their equality & their life as well

Get in the sea with thee, cruel judge!

38 is just bigotry. Women's toilets are single-sex even if male cleaners are in their all day long, but if a trans women walks in ALARMS GO OFF, LIGHTS FLASH they're no longer single-sex.

Transphobic horseshit, as I expected from this judge

Today's ruling on the EHRC's interim guidance is a disappointing, confusing and mixed picture.

A trans woman who is a customer in a café can use the women's toilets, but if she works there she might not be able to.

Once again everyday life is being made a legal labyrinth for trans people.

The (fucking stupid) legal answer is, you both (1) don't need to come out to your employer but (2) legally shouldn't use the 'wrong' toilets (and should follow any lawful instruction from your employer). What a nonsense.

Well this sounds promising...

Definitely can't argue with that!

I think they want as many European holidays as they can! 🤣

Yeah I’m at a who con that weekend! And she’s doing Wales in August but I’m in Dublin that weekend! They are also doing Belfast but Paris is much easier to get to

💜💜💜

I just booked my annual leave! But can probably change it! I’ll have to check my work calendar. Or maybe just go to Paris for the day. The Eurostar is so close for me.

Oooh! That sounds like fun! Even though currently planning on going to Paris for my Birthday a few weeks before that!

Petition: Do not ban social media for under 16s I think the government shouldn’t ban social media for under 16s. This is because for many young people social media is how they communicate with their friends. Some people view social media as a lifel...

And I forgot to book a hotel room for Flux!

Selfie of me wearing oh Mary shirt

Giving my (sold out!) LGBT history month collections talk today at the library! I’m wearing my Oh Mary tshirt to celebrate! Lot of emotions but mostly good ones!

It’s a period I studied a lot when I was writing my biography of Beatrix. Definitely a fair bit more open before the war than afterwards
