Up first - the majestic barn owl

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet:

“Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

100%

For years, I’ve known that Maitlis was a key player in the institutional and orchestrated attacks on Trans+ youth

Now, emboldened and clearly unrepentant, she's flaunting her complicity

The world can now see her for who she is - someone willing to weaponise their power against the vulnerable

There are young Trans+ people on suicide watch today because of what this woman has done

"Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy” - Gustave M. Gilbert

What's fascinating here is that as she rhymes off the list of gender critical people at Newsnight pursuing an explicitly gender critical agenda, in the context of a discussion of ideological capture at the BBC, she doesn't recognise that she was part of the ideological capture of the BBC by GCs.

I literally just listened to this episode and found this whole exchange absolutely shocking. The shared agreement from the presenters that forcing the closure of the ONLY place young trans people could go get the support they needed was somehow positive... utterly monstrous.

you can just go ask crows stuff instead of asking chatgpt

A copy of The Notwitches: Prison Break next to a lit-up Halloween pumpkin wearing a witch's hat.

For Halloween I'd love to gift one of my followers on here a free copy of my new book, The Notwitches: Prison Break, signed by me and Dotty Sutton. If you fancy it, just like this post (and follow me if you don't already). Shares very much appreciated, obvs. UK-based people only, I'm afraid.

British.

Problem solved! 😁

It does make me wonder though if there's a future in which Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland kick out England but hang onto the union! 😅

This only takes a few seconds. Do it!

a flow-chart with 2 islands. "Do I need AI?" that flows into a final island saying "No"

It costs the UK state approx £1.5M to investigate one suicide.

It costs approx £1.5M to fund one mid sized gender service.

Investigating one trans suicide each year costs more than providing life saving healthcare for hundreds of trans people every year.

Transphobia is a political choice.

Good news everyone!

Oh my WHAT the WHAT??? I've seen that clause in employment contracts before, but residential tenancy agreements?? Bloody Nora!!

Hey, I'm a white, heterosexual bloke with a job.

I won't be voting for Reform.

They are racist, bigoted arseholes.

I will stand alongside those they seek to attack, be they people of colour, trans, gay, whatever.

It is in everyone's interest to smash fascism.

But more urgently, like, the country and everyone in it. 😔

How do we fix this mess?

I do this almost every single day and it still makes me hit the ceiling!! 😲

There used to be 'legitimate concerns' about Jews, about Muslims, about gay men, about Black people, Indians and Pakistanis, about women's advancement and trans women.

It's all a steaming pile of hogwash. Those bigots don't care about facts or information; this is a deliberate march into the abyss.

Trans rights forever.
