Lady Gawain and the Christmas Miracle is a story about transmisogyny and how England is irredeemable! It is over 4,000 words and available for YOUR zine or anthology, leave a comment or DM me if you are interested! #shortstory #transgender #writing #LGBT+ #Arthurian #fiction

Good news - I don't have to worry about thinking whether my story gets accepted or not! Bad news- Story got rejected 🙃 Anyone looking for a short story about a transfemme gawain? Maybe a transfemme anthology or zine would appreciate it?

sometimes when you’re blocked on a scene, it’s because the scene isn’t needed for the story, and realising that is like uh idk it’s like finally doing a big poo or something, iunno I’m saving up all my good words for the book writing thing

the contrast between seeing US democrats fall over themselves to embrace idiot transphobia all year and tonight seeing footage of the president embracing my (trans) congresswoman, Erika Hilton, at the election night party

JGP has theorised that it's the existence of enbies like me who have destroyed trans rights. But I know I spend every waking hour trying to fight for my community – whilst she is apparently out here calling the trans sisters who came before her "heterosexual transvestites".

Your politics are largely dictated by who you seek community with. Trans academics seeking their place in the academy and cutting themselves off from community with other trans folk do this shit for the same reason stealth or stealth aspiring trannies do it. To show the cis they can be trusted.

Decades of hard-won progress erased in a few short years by a handful of politicians & newspaper editors who figured that non-stop screeching about asylum seekers and trans people was the only way to maintain electoral consent for perma-austerity while every part of the state visibly rots.

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

Posting this again, because not nearly enough people know about Llyan, the giant magical Scottish wildcat that Fflewddur rides around like a horse in the Chronicles of Prydain.

every now & then someone on the anti-trans side will get cold feet about how openly ugly it's all getting—they want to keep the image of a nice, sensible centrist but it's never enough for them to get off the train

Traditional British governments are simply not able to respond to the kinds of crises we will face in the mid-twenty-first century. You cannot leave these things to be absorbed by the existing (strip-mined) infrastructure; you actually have to DO SOMETHING.

University of Nottingham, right now, is cutting 560 jobs. Do we need to rebrand universities as very large, very clean, land-based oil rigs to get government support?

Leo Hickman@leohickman.carbonbrief.org

From the govt's press release: "The developer estimates that Jackdaw will create 27 new direct jobs and safeguard 273 existing jobs that would otherwise be lost." Odd that so much is made about this being good for jobs. Your nearest out-of-town supermarket likely generates more jobs.

the heartbreaking thing about burnhamism is that i really do love the smiths and feel that they are urban hymns for mancs but it feels really wank and overplayed to say that now
