Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Abandoning trans people is 'fascist logic', says leading feminist philosopher Leading feminist philosopher Judith Butler has declared that abandoning trans people or any minority is operating within 'fascist logic'.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

Sorry everyone, but given how the past few weeks have been, I simply don't have the energy to send Christmas cards this year. If you've already sent us one, we're very grateful, but can't currently reciprocate. xx

Still waiting for the anxiety to ease up... :(

That is amazing, and such a wonderful idea. Now I'm wondering what British wildlife I want to get.

That's all I seem to be doing at the moment. 😔

It's been a rough couple of years and my brain has decided that it's not happy with things at all. My GP has put me on some meds to help, but the initial side effects are to make the anxiety worse. What fun. :/

Apparently it will get better after a couple of weeks.

Bugger, this clashes with the Cambridge Beer Festival. :/

So THAT's what that was.... 😜
