my apologies if this has already been posted here but im sharing this. here is what someone said on twitter along w this image:

the central image text reads: “@everyone I HAVE BEEN RELIABLY INFORMED GUARDIAN JOURNALISTS ARE SNOOPING AROUND ASKING FOR TRANS PEOPLE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT DIY HRT. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY LOOKING FOR UNDER-18S DOING DIY. SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE SAID, BUT DO. NOT. ENGAGE. SPREAD WIDELY. DO NOT ENGAGE. WE NEED THIS NOTICE SPREAD OUT VIA EVERY GRASSROOTS SUPPORT GROUP AND SOCIAL CIRCLE IN THE COUNTRY.

URGENT. IF THEY GET EVEN ONE TO TAKE PART IT BECOMES A NATIONAL CONVERSATION. TOP ALERT.

Guardian journos are apparently asking trans people about DIY. Trans followers: DO NOT SAY ANYTHING TO THEM. NOT A WORD.

I also know I’ve got cis mutuals who have written for the Guardian. Please know I’ve always thought less of you because of that.

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

I appreciate the OG post is about RWRB being influential but can we just talk about these two covers for a sec

Because are MM books having a moment, with foliage? Like, I feel like I'm seeing a lot of it:

Is this in response to something? Are we queers all plant lovers now? I mean, I am here for it. We deserve flowers. But are other people seeing this a lot too?

Be compared with many, many other books that come after you

It's important to drink a lot of fluids when you're sick so that your body has the raw materials to generate gallons of snot.

I'm sorry but you can't expect me to see an antique advertising poster with "ladies want it" as the slogan and not do this to it

What else should I put

Just adding that Oseman has said a few times that if people are going to compare Heartstopper to manga, they wish people would call it Slice of Life. It's a genre that's supposed to be about mundane, everyday experiences. It's supposed to be like this.

Once again I'm begging people to read the genre they actually like rather than complaining that something didn't meet expectations the work was never meant to. It's like complaining that a musical has songs in it or that there was violence in a murder mystery.

But also - we need all sorts of queer stories. Straight people get the full breadth of their experience reflected in media, I don't see why we can't. Let us have our damned fairy floss for once. When I was growing up, the queer was subtext or villainous or doomed. Let people enjoy their low-key story please. No one is making you read it, but there's a kid out there somewhere who is experiencing chaos and whose soul will be refreshed by it. It costs no one else anything to let them have it. "But I like stories like this instead" is not the zinger you think it is.

seen lots of articles and people saying that heartstopper was like "too clean" and that teenagers aren't that wholesome and they should be having sex and doing drugs and stuff and sure some teenagers definitely do have sex and party and do drugs but honestly a lot of teenagers DON'T and the idea in tv that all teenagers do that kind of thing can really fuck you up when you're like 16!!!! because you think you're behind your peers but mostly you AREN'T !!!!! we need boring teenager representation not everyone has a euphoria skins degrassi teenagehood some of us didn't drink or party or date some of us just did the kind of stuff they did in heartstopper like walk dogs and have sleepovers and skip prom to hang out at a friend's house and dance and have a good time and watch sitcoms!!! like heartstopper is good representation for people who just had regular uneventful teenage years!!!!
