Home - Not in our name
As women we reject the narrative that trans+ people are a threat.

It's been a smashing series of #CelebrityTraitors but from the reaction of the people who lost I realised that it didn't really matter who won because they had no personal stakes and the money was always going to go to well-deserving charity, so it almost felt a bit anti-climactic.

I've just finished binging The Newsreader series 3 on the BBC iPlayer and I cheered. It ends on the fall of the Berlin Wall which is doubly emotional for me but I just love Helen and Dale - so flawed and so human. Best character is of course powerhouse Noellene. 😍

I just finished @jennikeer.bsky.social's The Peculiar Incident at Thistlewick House and I'm blown away. If you loved The Ravenswood Witch, you will love this! Out 11 October.

This is on Amazon First Reads for August and having read it on NetGalley already, I'd say it is a very good choice if you're still undecided on which book to select. I loved it!

It's bad enough that My5 makes me press Force Stop after every episode because it becomes unresponsive, it really should have a way of indicating which episodes I've watched already. I was just half way through an episode of A&E: After Dark before I noticed I've seen it already!

Top tip of the day: I can absolutely recommend a day trip to a hospital like St Thomas in Westminster as they have AIRCON, plus the MRI scanner is positively freezing. Have a cold drink and chillax in their coffee shop, just don't get admitted to a ward, they are boiling even at lesser temperatures.
