@Jantar23 Janne M. Korhonen (@[email protected]) Jeff VanderMeer This article Korhonen shared a couple of days ago was a brilliant take on this subject. At least to my experience it seemed to be particularly accurate analysis, even though it is somewhat unnecessarily polarizing and confrontational in my honest opinion.

@Jantar23 Caitlin Moran @jessicashortall 'I am one of the women who stopped watching #GOT because of the rape scenes. I couldn't take it any longer. If you are a male show runner, director or producer you’ve got no fucking idea what it’s like to be a woman watching a rape scene.' Me @lbbonline lbbonline.com/news/cindy-gal…

@Jantar23 Alex Andreou Boris Johnson Orange and lemon.

@Jantar23 Jack Monroe Sounds a lot like they’re training future workers, not raising independent thinkers

@Jantar23 Zoinks! Gwen C. Katz Narrative is an art and comfort is the antithesis of art. We have an obligation to challenge our own comfort.

Book the fourth leaves the TBR pile. Absolutely fascinating, and hugely thought-provoking. Massive thanks to BethanAngharad🦒 for her kindness in sending me this.

@Jantar23 One you’d appreciate, I think.

Sohrab Nizoumi-Berizi @Jantar23 Away/inactive Mike 💙 Which was also the same street that the British Embassy opened out onto.

@Jantar23 cindygallop.eth Caitlin Moran @jessicashortall I had 3 sons and a daughter and when they were young we had a rule. If tv program showed a woman as victim in first 5 minutes we changed the channel.

@Jantar23 BBC Newsnight emily m Mermaids She transed her child. She's not a random stranger. That makes it even worse that she lied.

@Jantar23 imteddybless Yes, the point is being able to do this without taking those precautions

@Jantar23 Anya Palmer Blokes, if you won't accept lady willy then don't expect the lesbians to.

@Jantar23 Neil Gaiman Laura Miller When I think of Barthes, I always think of Barth from You Can't Do That On Television.

@Jantar23 BBC Newsnight emily m Mermaids well they never let actual trans people represent themselves so its the next best thing

cindygallop.eth @Jantar23 Caitlin Moran @jessicashortall Little Black Book #MeToo I don't care how cool an epic fantasy show/book/video game is; I'm not watching/reading/playing it if rape is normalized or justified as 'period typical'. Epic fantasy is by definition period atypical. Make up a world where rape is wrong, not titillating.

OcTBR Challenge A score! The 20th book of the month falls to my logophagic voracity. Or something like that. Mind you, this book is a joy. I’m not quite sure how it ended up on my TBR pile, but probably as a result of a recommendation from @Jantar23. If not, I commend it to him.

@Jantar23 Janice Turner @Bennett_C_ When Lisa Nandy declared I went to youtube and watched her in a q&a. I could see her thinking - v. impressed. And then this! Shameful, useless, stupid, utterly unprincipled decision which completely misread the politics.

@Jantar23 @tim2040 Ben Kentish Michael Deacon Dylan Jones To be fair I felt uncomfortable about that because I love #HIGNFY but it was only one episode to be fair that's not quite the same. They also had Rees-Mogg as a sort of comedy figure – not so funny anymore especially if you're a civil servant

@Jantar23 Imani Gandy (Orca’s Version) ⚓️ Laura Lexx bettemidler If this war was only on cis women they wouldn't be passing don't say gay bills and antitrans bills too.
