Great work here by @transactualuk.bsky.social and if you read the full statement on their website (linked in the thread below), you’ll also find a link to a mass mailing campaign that I would encourage as many of you as possible to get involved with (I’ll be writing to my MP – again!) Also… 1/

We believe that the public has the right to know the consequences of this policy change. So if NHS England won’t publish the full assessment, we will. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/10...

Okay, made good progress with my edits (despite the shit show of anti-trans policies last week). Going to finish them off this evening, then send these opening chapters (about 25k words) to my agent tomorrow. (please please please let her like them🤞🤞🤞)

This weekend, I’m hoping to put some final edits on my opening chapters of my new book before I send it to my agent. Not the finish line for this book by any means (remember, the editing never ends) but a nice milestone to reach!

Sending the biggest love to all of my trans siblings today, after an absolute avalanche of yet more horrific policies of exclusion and humiliation, on top of all the other ones we’ve seen over the last year. I’m here for you, and I won’t stop fighting for you.

Okay guys, weird thing — in some of my recent dreams I have *actually pinched myself* (in the dream) to work out whether I was dreaming or not. Both times, the pinching didn’t hurt in the dream, so I concluded I was dreaming! Didn’t help me take over the dream or anything, but…

… I was then able to get on with whatever I was doing in the dream knowing it was just a dream. Like, last night I dreamt something expensive had been stolen from our house, so I gave myself a pinch, discovered it didn’t hurt, then went on my merry in the dream knowing that I was only dreaming.

Exciting news!! KICKFLIP is skating into the USA & Canada in June 2027! Logan & I are very excited that Astra Books are publishing both volumes of our comic, and we can’t wait to share what the inside is going to look like! Until then, here’s some pages of the UK version to tide you over…. 💛🤍💜🖤

I was in the library the other day & just thinking what an amazing service it is. A place that you can borrow books, films & CDs, read newspapers, sit in the warmth, hang out with your friends & use the computer/Internet, all entirely for free. Support your library! You can do this just by using it.

I finished the book I borrowed from the library and now they're letting me borrow another book?!? This is genius!! You guys should all get one of these "library" things. Highly recommended.

Thank you to everyone who has helped with this, and all of the experts who have signed.
