Apparently I've just written a thread of 6 tweets with short-fiction recs (almost all queer) off the top of my head. Happy Pride Month! 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

@redscribe Fireheart Tiger, by @aliettedb is amazing and rightly up for a Hugo atm (CN: abusive relationships, implied assault) To Embody a Wildfire Starting, by @singlecrow will be in my Hugo noms next year (emet), by @RingWrites was up for a Nebula and is a gorgeous tale of resistance

@MartineBBC Isn't it journalistic malpractice to change quotes from a source? Presumably you think pregnant trans men are magically safe from heat exhaustion? Still, it's not like I expected better from an organisation that invited a sex pest to claim that all lesbians reject trans women.

To those shouting homophobe at me. 1. That is patently bonkers. 2. The replies are littered with posts like the one below. Babe. The call is coming from inside the house. X

The number of my gay and lesbian friends who are sick to the teeth of being used as either a shield or a cudgel in 'the gender wars' against our own friends and community is... Well it's ALL of them!

The tiny minority, of gay people who feel differently. Speak for yourself, you do not speak for me or all gay people. I find your beliefs embarrassing and unpalatable, but they're yours to have. So please fight your own battles, do not try and put all gay people there with you.

I'll scream it till the grave. Cisgender heterosexual folk I do NOT need you to 'protect' me from trans people. I do not need you to tell me what's good for me, or how my sexuality is defined, or what gender is. You attack my trans friends, you attack me. It's that simple.

Using the term "secret police" to describe my cadre of plain-clothes kidnappers who refuse to identify themselves is deeply hurtful and makes the work of extrajudicial ethnic cleansing that much more dangerous,
Homeland Security@DHSgov

It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo. Attacks and demonization of ICE and our partners is wrong. ICE officers are now facing a 413% increase in assaults. Our message is clear: DO NOT come to this country illegally. If you do, we will arrest you, deport you and you will never return.

I don't remember the same outrage from politicians or the public after the Parachute Regiment were filmed shooting holes in a picture of Jeremy Corbyn. I wonder why...
Kemi Badenoch@KemiBadenoch

Good. Kneecap’s glorification of terrorism and anti-British hatred has no place in our society. Now footage shows one of them saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP." After the murder of Sir David Amess, this demands prosecution.

So Jeremy Corbyn met kneecap in Dec 2023 and talked to them about Irish literature. David Lammy met Netanyahu in July 2024 in the middle of a genocide, yet Corbyn is the one that should apologise. Yeah, whatever.

What does "canceled" even mean? JKR continues to sell loads of books, the movies made from those books are streaming on major platforms, she has a huge new project in the works with HBO. Does "canceled" just mean "criticized for shitty behavior"? [AlwaysHasAstronaut.jpg]
David '11 more clerical errors' Spiers@davidspiersiii

One of these writers (a woman) has defended the boundaries and safeguards of women and vulnerable people; the other (a man) appears to have violated them in the most serious way. Only one has faced cancellation and widespread condemnation. I wonder what could be going on here?

JKR like every trans hostile, gender critical, will target ANY woman who demonstrates an inkling of intersectional support for trans people. Here's one such example. DBB holds such values and JKR just can't resist having a dig, in doing so releases her dementors
