Oh no! Get well soon, lovely! Xx

Make no mistake: this will happen again if the current political climate is not challenged. It's likely that every trans person out there was, and is, sitting there thinking "That could have been me. It still could be."
We can be better.
We must be better.
Rest in power, Brianna.
The media, and the Tories, had spent a lot of time promoting anti-trans rhetoric, and this was the result. The public rhetoric dialed back in the immediate aftermath, but it's creeping up again.
Just a reminder: Brianna Ghey, 16 years old, was stabbed to death, murdered by people pretending to be her friends, 2 years ago today.
Let's be quite clear: she was a victim of media and political manipulation, all of whom were quick to ring their hands about it.
I don't understand folks who act like that. My ex was one of them.
Doesn't change the fact that you are an awesome human being ๐ xx
My sister lives in the States with her family. I see them when they come here.
I won't be flying out to visit them.
YAAAAAAAAY! ๐ฅฐ
Also, much sympathy for the distractions ๐
I really did โค๏ธ๐
Sequel? ๐๐
Just finished The Executioner's Blade, by the lovely @aknighton.bsky.social
A genuinely fantastic book. Great (believable) characters, wonderful storytelling, a rich world that's fed to you gently as the story unfolds. So many clever, subtle details. Ebook here:

But lookit his face! No court could convict! ๐๐ฅฐ
Lol, yeah, is now very soggy here!
Hail. Big ass chunky lumps of it!
Turned out nice today... ๐
Happy birthday, lovely lady! Have a great birthday weekend ๐ฅฐ xx
troubled, all just trying to get by, and it makes the whole thing very real. I also loved the "dice" mechanism: some days, you just have a shit day, and need to decide how best to spend your energy!
An excellent piece of storytelling, and well worth your time โค๏ธ
Just finished Citizen Sleeper.
What a fantastic piece of writing. I was genuinely surprised by how emotionally intelligent it was, and by the fact that there are very few clear cut "good/bad" decisions. The characters are believable, conflicted, /1
COMPLETELY NORMAL ๐โค๏ธ
How well has this one aged...?
Dear gods...
Is Trump even aware of what day of the week it is?
Wow. That was unexpected! The things you discover...
Strong look! ๐ฅฐ
Living in a van seems romantic, right up until your gas bottle runs out halfway through cooking dinner, and you're stood in boots and dressing gown in the freezing cold swapping the bottles over... ๐๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Character building, right? ๐
Where's the lie...? ๐
Ah, good reminder about the short timed bursts! That's quite a good one, when I remember to do it! ๐คฃ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Depends on the task. If it's time critical, I'll use that as a lever. If it's not, I need to set myself some form of reward at the end for good tasking!
Today's word is "crisp" ๐ฅฐ
Hell of a start to the day!
Yay! Glad to have helped! :-)
