Emily Carding

Huge thanks to the team for having me out again, this time covering the inimitable @emilycarding.bsky.social as Dee in @thekeyofdreams.co.uk: Shadows Lengthen.

Special thanks to one guest who was surprised an actor could play different roles — emergencies happen, that's what swings are for!

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Labour must search its conscience if Reform wins Gorton and Denton, says Green leader Zack Polanski says Labour deliberately splitting left vote as voters head to the polls

It's Reform Vs the Green Party.

Vote for the Green Party.

Mad that it’s one billionaire scumbag who’s behind these massive-scale evictions in London AND the mass closure of London pubs AND beloved institution the Prince Charles Cinema being in dire straits AND the high street being clogged with cruddy candy shops. A one-man enshittification engine.

Ah damn, wish I was free!

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

Timonopoly is a genuine joy. Newcomers to Shakespeare will find it easy and playful; veterans will be surprised by its insight. No one but master mage @emilycarding.bsky.social could pull this off!

Welcome - York International Shakespeare Festival share.google/O2xmpfVuy2ry...

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

An image wth a bald Black woman vampire wth red eyes and eyeshadow licking a trickle of blood from the right corner of her mouth. She is wearing a pearl headress inspired by the traditional beaded headwear of the Samburu people in Kenya. She has large teardrop ruby and pearl earrings, and a smallet tearfrop ruby in the center of her forehead. Behind here is a black and gray background with victorian drawings of bats. There is read blood splatter in the foreground. A sharp looking red font says "Black Vampire Books."

The book covers for "Slay: Stories of Vampire Noire" edited by Nicole Givens Kurtz and "House of Hunger" by Alexis Henderson.

The book covers for "The Gild Stories" by Jewelle Gomez and "My Soul to Keep" by Tananarive Due.

The book covers for "The Promise Keeper" by L. Marie Wood and "Blood Slaves by Markus Redmond."

Happy Black History Month! I'll be celebrating by watching "Sinners" again. And speaking of "Sinners", why not check out these Black vampire books by such talented authors (and editors) as @nicolegkurtz.bsky.social, @tananarivedue.bsky.social, @lmariewood.bsky.social, and @markusredmond.bsky.social

To be clear, we were thousands of regular folks at an entirely non-violent march that passed by the ICE building. They let loose chemical agents on families with little children. Elderly in wheelchairs. For no reason. The cruelty was the point. Attempting to provoke a riot was the point.
