Hi everybody. Regular followers will know that my financial situation hasn't been brilliant of late, and in terms of sustainability it's just got a mite worse, because I lost one of my two jobs. I can survive on what I'm making, but I can't really live. If you've read this blog at all, you'll probably know how many bridges I've burned by criticising publications for their awful business models, and hurting the feelings of some of their pet bigots.

Content warning: this post discusses biphobia and sapphophobia Well well well. I have a confession to make. I only drink from the furry cup because I had a shit education and I'm ugly. I'm not being self-deprecating, there's science behind it. There's a study and everything! Unfortunately, it was a conference presentation, so we don't have very much to go on in critiquing the study, so a brief summary from what I can glean from the reporting: the study tracked men and women between adolescence and young adulthood, asking them whether they identified as "100% heterosexual", heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual or 100% homosexual at four different points.

Content note: This post discusses misogyny, attacks on reproductive rights, harassment and sex shaming. Dear RH Reality Check, Let me start by saying, I broadly support your aims. It's important to provide news about reproductive justice, especially when our rights to safe control over our own bodies are so constantly under attack. Now that I've got your attention by being nice, let me tell you to go and fuck yourselves because you've done something practically unforgivably dickish. [ 348 more words. ]

Well, that was the election result I have been expecting since 2015: even worse electoral wipeout than five years ago, under Ed Miliband. They haven't even managed to control the constituency of the recently-terraformed Moon, where the Predictamatic 3000 was certain in the exit Readings that they'd win by a landslide! And so the circle of blame that I expected to happen, happened. [ 841 more words. ]

Content warning: this post discusses biphobia and lesbophobia A YouGov poll was published the other day which revealed that 43% of 18-24 year olds don't identify as completely straight, or completely gay, with pretty substantial chunks of other generations also being somewhere in the middle on the Kinsey scale (a third of 25-39 year olds identify this way; heck, even 21% of 60+ year olds don't identify as exclusively straight or gay).
