Time just seems to vanish.

Last week was my birthday and I was totally going to make a birthday post, and then just... didn't.

So, belated thank you's to everyone who sent me birthday wishes. <3

And I got fanart from Lee (for my Seeker 'verse), which is very shiny. Not used to fanart. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Although speaking of fanart, then Promethia and I also had a stunning piece of fanart created for The Song of Rowland, so truly my cup currently overfloweth. (Technically the art work is spoilery, although not hugely.)

And fic-wise, then I posted Chapter 5 of Crystal Gets A Boyfriend on my birthday, and then Chapter 6 the week after! (This will probably never happen again. There is usually a month between any updates.)

But enough about me... Have a few links:

No more Disney!Who. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

UK petition: Scrap the Bathroom Ban

And from the Good Law Project, please sign this open letter: Women in support of the trans+ community.

I feel that there were so many more things I was going to mention, but time has stolen them...

Head across

And a Petition: Legislate to Reverse Supreme Court Decision on Transgender Women

"On 6 May 1933, the Berlin chapter of the German Student Union made an organised attack on Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute of Sex Research).

The institute's library included many thousands of volumes on sexuality and other matters relating to its work. The institute also had a substantial collection of objects, photographs and documents including research, biographies and patient records. Estimates of total size vary. The looted material was witnessed by the international press being loaded on to a truck and, on 10 May, it was taken to the Bebelplatz square at the State Opera, and burned them along with volumes from elsewhere."

Pink News:
VE Day 80: It took the world less than a century to forget what World War II was fought for

(OR: That poem should go 'First they came for the Trans people')

Also

thissterlingcrew has a lot of good resources, such as:

I hate it here.

JK Rowling toasts ‘TERF VE Day’ and confirms donation to group behind Supreme Court case

Someone said that she's basically our Musk (meaning that HP is like Tesla) and alas they are right. :( The billionaire to Bond villain pipeline is definitely a thing.

Here is a link to all current gov.uk Trans petitions.

Also, let's remember that some people are wonderful. From 2020:

Daniel Radcliffe declares ‘trans women are women’ in response to JK Rowling’s anti-trans tirade

And via Owls (behind paywall for me, but might work for others):

Trans people like me will still be protected by law, no matter what opponents think

ETA: Via Kerk:

A brief summary of the Transgender/Equality Act court case

And from that post, a change.org petition:

Overturn the UK's New Legal Definition of a Woman

Also since I am here, a post about the benefits changes, also with many links.
