Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

Bad at social media. Bad at bios. In Northern England. Currently making a tragicomic alchemical video game called Chymicalia.
Dressmaker is a masterpiece.
We're hiring! We're looking for a Writer and Narrative Designer to join the Fallen London team at a senior or mid level. This position is permanent, remote, and full time, which for us means 35 hours a week. #GamesJobs
20+ year plus limit, for full "stuff that rewired my brain" evidence base. (Blue Lacuna is slightly less, but I can't leave it out)
I had ME/CFS in the mid 2010s (and was extremely fortunate to recover from it). It's disheartening to read that folks are still being told to get over it and/or exercise; I sought alternative advice and so stopped going to the gym, which helped. I hope that we can soon ID & treat it properly. 💜
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 3w agoHere's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
last night i dreamed that, in a stroke of genius, i had combined slurs to create the ultimate slur, "twaggot". i was laughing so loud in my sleep i woke up both myself and jess
I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰
Perhaps a personal failing, but I can't think of many things I love that I would want to see buried and painted over. I can't think of anything I love that I need saved from the context of it's creation. But often I feel like people don't love things. They love the memory of things.
Truly wild to have lived through moral panics about teenagers wearing hoodies and Muslim women wearing the head dress to now experience 'but is a large group of organised far right activists in balaclavas really that scary'
Paul Hebden@paulhebden.bsky.social · last mo.What a ridiculous question. Once again the BBC drives a nail into it's own coffin.
It is easy and comfortable to think, look at this thing we made, we have worked so hard, the hard work is the proof that it is good, people will buy it because they will see we have worked hard and thus made a good thing
Hannah Flynn 🐀@itshannahflynn.bsky.social · last mo.when you're promoting an indie game, you need a "why would someone buy this" mentality Not a "why wouldn't someone buy this" mentality If anyone is interested I will try to elaborate
“Luckily, the Biological Female was prevented from abdicating their holy breeding purpose” -BBC, balanced reporting on shutting down transgenderism
"would mean, for example, that Jewell would not be able to breastfeed in the future" this person is TWENTY NINE YEARS OLD and the BBC is scaremongering about their choice not to breastfeed a baby that they do not have and have given no indication of ever wanting to have
Elizabeth Taylor@elizabethtaylor47.bsky.social · last mo.I can’t put into words the fury this reporting fills me with. How more indignity must trans people be spoken be subjected to by our national broadcaster?
This shit is why you can't separate continuing to financially support the Harry Potter IP (whether by buying the games, merch, watching the new TV show when its out) from the consequences of what JK Rowling does with that money She's become so stiflingly powerful that even private docs arent safe
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 2mo agoI've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
Hi to everyone following from the AI-free indie devs list (yay) or the British narrative games list (embarrassing honestly, we'll try to get through it together) what to expect from me: - aforementioned british AI-free narrative game - trans rights stuff - weird about Morrowind since 2002
The Law of Unintended Consequences (2025), Section 7, sub-section (4)(d). I laughed and laughed.
I had to remake my UK & Ireland narrative game dev starter pack due to spam. go.bsky.app/HyEvL2t I should have backed it up but only have a partial list. If you would like to be added or removed please reply here or DM me.
Regularly destroying or disposing of books or records is a completely essential part of any archival or records management or librarianship program.
Riley Bruce@rileybruce.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhat’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?
Good luck to everyone getting their A levels today and remember, if you don’t get the grades you’d hoped for, all is not lost. For example, Prince Edward got a C and 2 Ds and was immediately accepted by Cambridge University.
Kakapo had a record-breaking breeding season and hatched 105 eggs!!! Considering there are only like 235 kakapo, that is a big deal!!!! Also, look at this baby!!!!!! www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/a...
