We want to build a platform for existing and emerging writers and illustrators to do their absolute best work. We want to create THE best possible magazine. We already have incredible people lined up. But we want you to get involved too.

WILL YOU CONTINUE?!!

I love to write a videogame! I love to write one. Sometimes it is good to take pleasure in the fizzy joy of letting words Tetris each other

Green win shows progressive voters are now voting against Labour as well as Reform Gorton and Denton byelection shatters Labour strategy of neglecting its core base while focusing on Reform defectors

I generally assume that political parties know what their constituencies think better than the rest of us do: they spend so much money on polling and focus groups.

But I would be *amazed* if they understood how viscerally they are loathed by young progressives for pushing trans people under a bus.

I will say: I am thoroughly unsurprised and I also think that this team probably spent a lot of time thinking about how to recreate robust rpg tools before they actually made one because if you don’t you’re going to have a headache

Well, a lot of the FBI are just admin. In fact most detective work and investigation work is just paper. I think Grace is also specifically forensics, which means she is doubly nerdy. The tv version of the FBI is probably much more gun happy but most FBI folks probably never have to draw

This continual assault on trans rights within the UK stinks of corruption and foreign money, and Wes Streeting is right there in the middle of it. Possibly holding a bulging brown sack with a £ printed on it

Graphic with a blue background. There are two pictures of cut out open mouths. It says "In their last manifesto, the SNP proudly said they were "leading Europe on LGBTI equality". But we remember what Governments do, not what they say. How will we remember their actions now - as standing up for trans people's rights when it really counted, or, for standing by when they were at risk?" At the bottom are the Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos and the link https://equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisberemembered"

In their last manifesto, the SNP proudly said they were “leading Europe on LGBTI equality”. But we remember what Governments do, not what they say. Ask them why they've copied the definition of “sex” from the Supreme Court ruling into Scottish

NHS England pauses new prescriptions of cross-sex hormones for under-18s The health service said young people who already receive the drugs will continue to do so.

The Cass review, used to justify an ideological decision to withhold medical care from trans teenagers, is throughly discredited.
The Health Secretary and NHS England are lying to patients and their families and to the public.
This is severe institutional transphobia.
