But Blackbeard did say he credited you... with a lot of his skills. Yeah, well, Blackbeard says a lot of things. But what did he say about me specifically? Well, specifically, he said you taught him everything he knows. Made him the Captain he is today.

#fic where Ed recreationally blames Izzy for anything Stede gets wrong because if he had just trained him right.... #this is non malicious Izzy's just too easy to tease #obviously anything Stede gets right is all his own achievement #stizzy #and I guess now #steddyhands #stede bonnet #izzy hands

not nearly enough people are fuming about the cass review. do you understand the eventual implications? trans people in the uk will be considered children up until the age of 25, and denied HRT/surgery/even basic measures like legal name change and social transition. all owing to a biased and largely unscientific study. you know what “treatment” for gender dysphoria is recommended by the review instead? conversion therapy.

this will kill people and they know it, because they prefer us dead and out of sight. the government, the NHS and even the opposition have made this clear again and again. a twenty-five year old can have sex, get married have children, join the military, earn a living, be halfway up the corporate ladder or highly successful in their chosen career field by that age, but they can’t transition under NHS rules. this is a death sentence for trans teenagers and they are going ahead with it. it’s trans genocide, same as across the pond.

i’m so afraid for my trans siblings and our futures. i’m so scared for myself. what are we to do if not even the party that is supposed to be on the “left” gives a shit about our safety and mental health as long as they get voted in? labour have become tories with a red coat of paint. it all feels hopeless

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

the difference between living just below the poverty line and just above it is getting to eat different kinds of bread instead of sticking to the cheapest one

Hmmm Ed and Frenchie trying to get rich by making a blair witch-style found footage horror and getting so desperately lost in the woods and surviving so poorly that they end up getting rich by constructing a groundbreaking documentary about how the weirdest most beautifulest creative geniuses you’ve ever seen with the most minimal survival skills and little to negative affinity for the outdoors successfully make their way back to civilization after three weeks with little else but a couple cameras, an unreasonably reliable solar-powered battery, and poorly-disguised mutual attraction a very touching bond with each other.
