The EHRC has sent a new draft Code of Practice which would lead to the exclusion of trans people from public life.

The decision now is up to this government, will they sign a trans bathroom ban in secret?

#ScrapTheBathroomBan

Image has a pink background and scraps of torn blue and white paper behind the text. Text reads: Scrap the Bathroom Ban. Tell Your MP to say no to segregation. This is urgent. The EHRC Code of Practice could be laid in Parliament any day.

Act now. Tell your MP to stop this. Write to your MP:

Birds but they get spookier each time. 🎃👻

Enter if you dare...🚪

A black background decorated with gold illustrations of branches, stars, swords, ravens, and tiny ghost shapes. In the centre, bold text reads: “BIRDS BUT THEY GET SPOOKIER EACH TIME.” Two ravens perch on bare branches at the bottom, with candles glowing beside them.

Also loved Cutler in BH. And that cartoon was absolutely delightful, thank you. And I read The Divine Order last week, amazing ending!

Had three stories today about bad people who happened to be migrants, who are undeniably bad, but the media very much knows what it’s doing here, fanning flames, pouring fuel onto the fire, and it’s quite grim

Interviewer: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as a doctor and the creator of the supremely rational detective Sherlock Holmes, do you believe—

Doyle: Yes!

Just had to explain to my mom what Serving Cunt means (she just saw it in a video). Don't think I did it well but she seems to have got the jist.

Leaving the job I've done for the last 15 years, and the company I built, because of this "AI" bollocks. It was past time

So, if you fancy buying any of my books for Halloween - individually, or in the kind of industrial quantifies that might keep the wolf from the door -

Now's the time!

btw, i feel compelled to point out that it's not that i think marginalized people shouldn't get to die, or even die brutally in horror movies! that's not what it's about. it was the casually dehumanizing way it happened, *especially in comparison to other deaths* that got me. it felt *awkward*

Keezy Young🌼 @keezyyoung.bsky.social · 5d

weapons spoilers

mixed feelings. enjoyed it? except, big caveat, for the part where the single character of color who was also the only queer protag (and by all accounts the only genuinely decent guy) got BY FAR the most horrific and brutal ending like by MILES lmao. felt weird about that
