Missed this at the time, but this article should be in **every** paper rather than killed by one paper. Speaks volumes that it is not.
This piece was greenlit and then killed by a British newspaper, so I’ve decided to publish myself instead.

I only know him through his writing and on here, but he made such a big impact. So sorry to everyone who knew him. This Comments feed attests to how much he meant to people.
This is absolutely heartbreaking news.

our incredible features editor, sadly passed away yesterday. He was an incredible asset to the magazine and a compassionate and fantastic friend. My thoughts go out to his friends and family.
I just can’t believe he’s gone

I’ve completely had the stuffing knocked out of me by the PB trial announcement. Then this. News that Bayswater were consulted.
This is why we need to grow Transparent Action. To show that the majority of parents support their kids and expose Streeting’s bias.

Ask him why he thinks it's ok to continue asking a group who think blocking childline access, refusing rape crisis counselling, putting chilli sauce in make up and promoting DIY conversion therapy guides for their thoughts on trans healthcare.

Today is International Men’s Day. So here’s to refugee men fleeing abuse, trans men denied healthcare, queer men bullied for being different, Black men racially profiled, disabled men excluded from work, and all the other men who fail at being “real men.” May we continue to cultivate our humanity.

"You can't build a future on a fault line"
I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop.

The BBC must stop attacking trans people | Good Law Project
The right wing accusations of ‘pro-trans’ bias are back to front. It’s time for the BBC to live up to its duty to be impartial on trans issues.

Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are doing a a podcast called Pondcast where they reminisce about Doctor Who. No word on when it will become available but they’ve already recorded a few and have had Steven Moffat as a guest.

I'd not realised my BlueSky moderation was hiding posters deemed as "rude" - glad the options are there but a strange one compared to the more serious categories...
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Rewatching the modern Worzel Gummidge tonight I've realised that Mackenzie Crook could be a perfect new Doctor Who. He brought so much magic and character to Worzel, and so unlike his other roles. DO IT MC/BBC/BW! (Only realised after typing all this that he'd be the second Doctor/Gummidge hybrid)
