awful AI shitslop image of a train in a sort of Scottish looking city that's blue and has a logo on the side formed of a lightning bolt in a thick circle
that same logo in its original blue and red colours, which happens to be the literal flag of the British Union of Fascists
Top tip: to avoid having the British Union of Fascists logo on the side of your mock-up train, don't use horrible text-to-image AI slop instead of actual designers and artists.

The cover for the book Twenty-Eight, with an image that says the same text as the status post.
It's been three years since we published TWENTY-EIGHT: Stories from the Section 28 Generation.
In that time if feels like queer rights have taken even more steps backward. But what's not waivered is the determination we have to make this a better world.
We must #KeepFighting
RIP 2025

Ending an extremely difficult year heavy with grief, but so grateful for the love of my friends and the beach on sunny, cold days
Every horse has bolted
The way people have started to speak about infidelity as a crime akin to physical or sexual abuse is wild. You can’t send the whole of France to jail.

Idea for new gameshow - The Body Keeps the Score
A black and white image of two children dressed for Halloween, standing on a flat patch of scrubby ground with a rocky hillside rising behind them. The children are wearing multiple layers of outsized clothes, bundled and knotted around them. Their hands are hidden within their sleeves, and they have huge adult work-boots on their feet. The figure on the left is wearing a crude mask with tiny eyeholes and a mouth hole; tufts of dried grass have been added to create a beard and moustache. The figure on the right doesn't seem to have a mask – just a large clump of heather for a head, protruding from a jacket collar swathed in scarves.
Oidhche Shamhna – a South Uist #Halloween
Ethnomusicologist, photographer, folklorist, & scholar Margaret Fay Shaw (1903–2004) recorded a traditional Hebridean Halloween on South Uist in the 1930s, in photographs & on film
