Many alleged suicides of Black trans women are in fact modern-day lynchings, report finds Jill Collen Jefferson, the founder of JULIAN, explains what happens when a transgender woman’s death is ruled a suicide and a community calls it something else.

This is terrifying

The cover of The Sword Garden by Peadar Γ“ GuilΓ­n. In the background is an ancient city with a huge monolith and warriors armed with spears. In the foreground is a suspicious looking person wearing furs and a hood, and with yellow eyes. A large black sun glowers down on the scene.

#MythologyMonday
March is National Reading Month in the U.S. - as good a reason as any to share my suggestions for which of the many versions of The Mabinogion you should read!
Brief, it depends what you're looking for.

Dr Seuss Day: 'Without Oxford University, we don't get Dr Seuss' To coincide with Dr Seuss Day, the BBC looks back at how Oxford University helped create the icon.

For respite from the ongoing awful everything.
In 1926, the man whose real name is Theodor 'Ted' Geisel, dropped out of his doctorate course in English Literature at the University of Oxford and shelved a future in academia to pursue a passion for drawing and cartoons.

The Green Party has 200,000 members but fewer than Reform, which has 270,000.

Wrong.

Reform is a limited company entirely owned by Nigel Farage.

So it only has 1 member.

The other 269,999 are just a mailing list.

Unlike Green Party members, they do not elect leaders or determine policy.
