Permanently stuck in the days between
Since yesterday afternoon's Voluntary Redundancy announcement, my work Teams calls have taken on an increasingly weird vibe. Everyone seems desperate to ask the "Whatcha thinkin?" Question, but are trying hardest not to be the first to pull the trigger.

Was back in Scotland visiting family for a couple of days and stopped en route to Novacon in The Lakes last night. It's a mystical romantic beautiful land full of Barrel Aged Imperial Stouts and geese.

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.
"Laura fears all will be lost if ICB Sussex forces her child off the medication.

If ICB Sussex get their own way in a matter of weeks and they force detransition, Olive may well take her life."

Hey y'all, I've just written a thing about Hallmark, time travel, and a pond you shouldn't jump into.

Happy Halloween from the future.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social Great interview about Welsh and Scottish independence. Wanted to ask: don't forget Kernow/Cornwall, mar pleg? We aren't England and we would like this officially recognised, we'd like our Senedh, our self-determination and our independence. Meur ras.

Laura Kuenssberg has interviewed all the Party Leaders with more than 10% in the polls.

Except Zack Polanski.

She cancelled his interview and now refuses to do it.

They are scared of Zack, they are scared of you.

You know you've been reading too much Runequest when you misread a reference in Ginsberg's Howl to Golgotha as Glorantha.
