Did the correct child come back? Noticed any strange behaviour? Have you tested him in a mirror again?

Chicory: A Musical Tale, by Resonant Union 33 track album

Having an extremely excellent afternoon working to the OST for Chicory: A Colorful Tale. Never played the game; probably never well; will be bobbling round LBF tomorrow with this in my ears.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

No way! Yeah, he's ace. That's just super smart as well, what a great time to be broadcasting a cheeky bit of love at the EU. Total champ.

A very sensible and practical set of recommendations from Tony Vaughan. The asylum system needs reform. Mahmood’s proposals are not it.

Update: I tested one. An actual human being (as far I can tell, name/photo on the internet etc) who was concise, polite and reasonable - but it was a paid for promotional thing. So that's all of those going in the spam forever more...

There seem to be new husks of book clubs online as well - things with websites and supposed communities, but not much trail I can identify beyond that. As Scalzi says, I might have tossed a little baby with the bath water, but it's too time-consuming to be worth identifying what's legit.

Coming soon! The 404 Ink Bursary for small presses and accompanying crowdfunder will launch in mid-March. This will give away at least Β£3,000 to small presses - we hope to raise more to pay it forward to even more people.

It is extremely tiresome. Especially because if they took even 2 minutes to find out who I am they would have realised I'm really not the easy target they're looking for...

I've had precisely 1 short story out since 11th Feb and I've lost track of how many 'book club' invites I've had. Exhausting really, and I'm not clear where they got my personal email from - I've had to assume brute-forcing it.

Can we extract the Reform nonsense from Labour? These immigration proposals are obscene, but the government can be forced to think again.

No administration with a moral core would have put these plans forward, let alone try to enact them without a vote. Once these proposals are in place, they will not be reversed. Make them think again iandunt.substack.com/p/can-we-ext...

Did you play Control? Feels like it shares some mechanics with that with the bullet/grenade catches.

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

Labour obvs need a different political strategy nationally because the Denton & Gorton split microcosm of failing to compete for young voters, graduates, liberals, renters + progressives while struggling to compete for dissatisfied voters as well as Lab24 swing voters to right applies across England

I doubt could ever win General Election if only a third of the population trust that you are not motivated by racism and prejudice (just 35% of white British and one in six ethnic minorities)

Might get 30-33% within that 35% pool but a majority will rally around your opponent in many places
