Not sure what I missed, as I wasn’t there! 😂 You’d only just started talking about Rå, to be honest. Mentioned a case or two about men who’d supposedly been with her.
Thank you so much for your talk on Rå yesterday. Sorry I had to miss the second half.
A Statement In Opposition to HR 7661 The freedom to speak and to read is a fundamental principle of the United States of America. That is why we have joined together — parents, students, educators, library workers, authors, free expression advocates, booksellers, and publishers — to stand in support of our nation’s school-aged children and teens and in opposition to H.R. 7661. H.R. 7661, if passed, will compel nationwide book censorship. It confuses obscenity with identity and stigmatizes vulnerable young people, particularly trans children and teens, based on who they are. It will continue to drain funding from our already underfunded schools and libraries. And it will threaten the creativity and critical thinking that are vital to education in the U.S.
Authors Against Book Bans has joined dozens of other organizations, nonprofits, publishers, & stores to issue this joint statement opposing HR7661

“The crowd in Jerusalem was lashing out at one of their own, erupting in the horizontal violence that often happens among oppressed people”
Do read this post; it’s insightful, and so relevant to today’s world.
I love that one!
Yay! I’ve got one in there. It’s not horror, though.

I can’t be in London but I can show my support. Here I am at home in Bradford with my Hold On To Hope posters.
Go show them, people!
It’s almost as if scary content and godly values can exist within the same text.
Oh, hang on..!
Text about Behind the Shelves book banning software. “Ground its mission in biblical values” and “the explicit, p0rn0graphic and wildly inappropriate books” underlined in red.
Oh, the hypocrisy!
Biblical CONTENT:
- murder, adultery, war, execution
Got to be a ban, right?
Biblical VALUES:
- act justly, love mercy, walk humbly
- love your neighbour as yourself
Which are WHERE in your mission?!
@authorsabb.bsky.social
Text about books banned using Bookmarked software. Jane Austen and William Shakespeare underlined in red.
Well, there goes half my GCSE/A Level required reading.
Also: Jane Austen?!? Surely one of the least explicit writers you can imagine.

I’d love to know what fellow aspecs make of this episode. (The series imagines 1 thing suddenly removed from the world). Some positive comments - things we already know as aces - but not one single mention of asexuality.
No. Just - no.
Never a bad moment
France has made a powerful step towards challenging the idea that sex is a legal expectation within marriage.

But Easter was not “originally a pagan festival”. Even the word “Eostara” only appears in writing once, in Bede’s Reckoning of Time. And “Easter” as a name for the festival is only used in Germanic languages. Most languages uses a name derived from Passover.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
And yes, Jewish festivals do have significance to the agricultural year as well as to the history and faith of the Jewish people, but that’s all.
Spring Equinox is a significant natural turning point of the year. So, yes, it was and is the focus of British & European pagan celebrations.
Last night was the New Moon. (That’s why it’s Eid). Today it’s the Spring Equinox. Easter is the first Sunday after the full moon after the Spring Equinox. This is based on the timing of the Jewish Passover (Pesach) as that is when the events of the Easter story took place. 🧵
I’m not even in the US, but as an author of YA LGBTQIA+ fiction, I’m speaking out against HR7661. It affects us all. @authorsabb.bsky.social
