Hi I went to the V&A player/performer event on Friday night and it was extremely fun www.theguardian.com/games/2026/a...

played a bit of the Titanium Court demo today - funny narrative-driven match three tower defence with heaps of style! Go check it out! @apthomson.bsky.social

Things that didn't stop me from being a trans child: - not being allowed to cut my hair - not being allowed to change my name - not knowing that trans people existed - being bullied by adults - being bullied by kids They did, however, make me miserable, so I suppose Cass would consider that a win.

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition. Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

If you've ever met an adult lesbian who has a short haircut and a gender ambiguous name, you will know that queer cisgender kids do not need protecting from haircuts and preferred names.

Hilary Cass, still destroying trans lives. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

i swear every time i pop the winter olympics on the bbc it’s fucking curling

"She also suggested "unrealistic images and expectations on social media" had misled children", the "unrealistic image" being that you can transition and have a happy and long life, but since Cass sees every transition as a failure she doesn't believe that is possible

Helen 🏳️‍⚧️✊🏻💕@mimmymum.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Hillary Cass both sides-ing the “trans debate” dismisses the material power imbalance - One side is pushing for restrictions, removal of care, & the eradication of trans kids - The other is pushing for access to care and legal protections Those are not symmetrical in terms of power or impact

I loved It Lasts Forever And Then It’s Over - not your usual zombie book this is a clear-eyed look at grief and memory. Short but cutting. Plus a weird moon, everyone loves a weird moon.

god I can't wait for the "Wuthering Heights" reviews to start dropping, have absolutely no desire whatsoever to go watch it myself but will I be reading 5 to 17 pieces on it? absolutely

Pals, I've just put out my latest small-batched home-brewed organic human-authored newsletter. It's got a nice old interview with Maggie O'Farrell, her first-ever about Hamnet. It's got news of events and other good things. Sign up for the next one here: www.damianbarr.com/subscribe

There is something exceptionally fucked up about the owner of the biggest online book store killing the books pages on his newspaper.

Yes, the silicon valley class are ruining the world and destroying society, but at least we can take comfort in knowing they're absolutely miserable doing it

I would like to open a programme, an app, an email service, ANYTHING, without being asked if I'd like to use whatever built in AI thing they are pushing. NO THANK YOU. It really feels quite desperate at this point.

New: Unsealed court docs detail Big Tech’s yearslong, secret race to ingest the collective works of humanity, including Anthropic’s project to “destructively scan all the books in the world.” Gift link: wapo.st/4rjXAMQ

not the meta-metacritic then of course we'd need a review site for that, so meta-meta-metacritic etc. it's critics all the way down.

no one walks slower and across the entire pavement than a group of teen boys on their way home from school, god bless them but get out the way

Finished TR-49 yesterday, the new game from @inkle.co - still digesting it fully. As someone with a love of books and digging through archives this was always going to chime with me. I loved the human story behind the mystery of this enigmatic machine, ultimately asking us what we owe to each other
