Character art for everybody's favourite imp has arrived - thank you so much to the amazing @grendraws for their work on this! I love how they're captured him in the act of doing something he almost certainly shouldn't be doing 😂

If you like: * grown up protagonists * thrift shops and coffee shops * a sprinkling of data science * sweary fairies * mythology and vengeance then Somewhere To Be should be your next read! https://t.co/D9slaSYMXk

Today I am making peace with the fact that this book will be over 100k words. Just - not TOO much over, I hope 😬

🧠 🛫 NEW 🛫 🧠 Nigel Farage took £40,000 to speak at a conference helping wealthy people gain citizenship abroad. Now he’s stoking fears that entrepreneurs are “fleeing all over the world”. https://t.co/eOHPvpIHTh

Reform UK took £2.3 million from fossil fuel firms. £2.3 million! They’ll hike your bills, lie about it with nonsense about oil & gas, and throw in some culture war nonsense to keep you distracted. Different packaging. Same old grift.
Reform will rip up the Chagos deal, stop the payments & reclaim sovereignty to UK

“The looks of hate, the feeling that you just don’t know if you’re going to be safe, have really got worse since the ruling, to the extent I now either ask a friend to come in with me or use the disabled toilet” https://t.co/nvDUF1McBA

Support groups report that women and non-binary people are increasingly being challenged in toilets and changing facilities – but others call it scaremongering

TERFs think women should be legally obliged to undergo mandatory swabs and have apps on their phones in order to access a public loo. 🤡

"Villagers verbally abuse Scouts they mistook for migrants. Newbridge residents confuse 30 Scottish teenagers on summer trip for asylum seekers." This is the HATE driven by @Nigel_Farage and #Reform.

Liz Truss is a former Prime Minister, a former leader of the Conservative Party, has been a member of the privy council for more than a decade and has 24 hour protection from the Metropolitan Police. Who precisely does she think "the elite" is if it's not her?
The elite are trying to suppress the voices of patriots in our country. To restore Britain, we need a Trump style revolution. That means building independent media and dismantling the deep state.

And this is the person who accuses trans people of being crazy. Putting an angry psycho scrawl in Nicola’s new book. You’ve completely lost the plot @jk_rowling . It’s YOU 🫵 and your ghouls making Britain a more dangerous place for ALL women.
Pages 108-9, in which our heroine opines on the need to make the ‘public sphere’ safe for women and girls.

The issue isn’t that you “chose to organise separately”. There’s nothing wrong with groups focusing on specific parts of the LGBTQ+ community. The problem is that you actively work and lobby to undermine trans people’s rights, while aligning with known homophobes and biphobes.
Great article on the harm done to LGB rights by fanatical believers in “gender identity” doctrine. When LGB Alliance decided to organize separately - simply as lesbians, gay men and bisexuals - they did their best to defame and destroy us. Instead, we grew. And the public

"JK Rowling's barrister friend says she was banned by her vet for her gender-critical beliefs - but clinic staff say it was because she was rude when told dog was too fat" These people are so embarrassing.

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care. Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly

As an infertile woman, I found JK Rowling’s comment about “faulty equipment” absolutely disgusting Me for @TheCanaryUK
thecanary.co
I fought doctors for over 15 years to have my excruciating pain believed. And now, JK Rowling thinks I'm faulty because I'm infertile?
