AUDIOBOOKS👏AND👏 EBOOKS👏 ARE👏 LEGIT👏 FORMS👏 OF👏 READING!

If you think differently, then feel free to not follow me. ALSO: Fanfic is legit writing, and self-publishing isn't shit. I will die on this hill (especially for my fellow neurodivergents and disabled folks for whom these forms of reading are super helpful.) @bookstodon @lgbtqbookstodon

@chrismacnab @Tekstkok @CindySue @bookstodon I think this is right - social media is littered with typos*. But if it has been through a traditional publishing process, it should be correct.

Do give a little more leeway (please) to those of us who self-publish. While we might have some proof-reading, there is always a possibility of an error**.

*Maybe just mine

**And it is sometimes un-viable to republish.

It's passed! Spain has now moved to self-ID for trans folk, lowered the age for changing your gender marker, AND a ban on conversion therapy 🎉

That's one step away from the medicalisation of trans people in Europe, and a huge win for the LGBTQ+ community in Spain 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Fascists don't debate in good faith. Stop debating them.

People's existence isn't up for debate. Stop debating it.

Stop debating stop debating stop debating.

Love to see how mad the Onion is here. More folks should be this mad about this.

If you want a really solid critique, it's actually here too. They put their *all* into this piece and while it's sarcastic as usual, it really does cover *so many* aspects of how horrible the current trend of "news" in this space has been.

There is not much that most of us, especially non-Americans, can do about the aggressive transphobia at NY Times, but one thing we can do is stop playing Wordle. It gives them website traffic and helps them earn ad revenue.

If you enjoy the game, as I do, there are plenty of alternatives. Just put “games like Wordle” into your search engine of choice and you get loads of articles listing options.

#Republican Sen. #RickScott of #Florida has revised his much-maligned proposal to #sunset all #FederalPrograms in five years, after absorbing weeks of criticism from #Democrats and even his own party, by adding an exemption for Medicare and Social Security.

Basically, by having done so, #TrickyRicky just admitted he originally wanted to get rid of #Medicare and #SocialSecurity , just as #Biden had pointed out.

Next #FediPoll for you guys...

Oh I am *extremely* fed up of having Covid now.

Please please please keep wearing masks in all indoor public spaces if you possibly can, dear followers - and staying at home if you have anything infectious (again if you can). The darn thing is still extremely prevalent and it's still *horrible*, especially for those of us who weren't very well to start with.

Alright. Let's get this morning started with a deep dive into the transphobia against trans men that Pamela Paul's defense of JK Rowling both contributes to and ignores.

Yes, I will keep beating this drum. Because Rowling's transphobia against trans men is some of the most explicitly stated transphobia she has engaged in, and I have quotes for days.
