Many many pictures.

Also, more protests yet to come, apparently, with ones scheduled for Oxford and Cambridge.

Rebellion is growing among Labour MPs, so if you have a Labour MP, now is a VERY good and important time to write to them to protest the proposed PIP and other cuts:

(If you have a non-Labour MP, hassle them too and see if they can be persuaded to do something vaguely useful.)

N.B. The Trump administration is now blatantly defying the Supreme Court, pretending that being ordered to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's return doesn't mean "bring him back".

As Justice Sotomayor noted, the Trump admin's argument in the case would mean that they "could deport and incarcerate any person, including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene."

This is time to start screaming in whatever way you can.

remnantglow, "Congenital Agenesis of Gender Ideation by K.N. Sirsi and Sandra Botkin" by the author now named Cameron Reed is available for your reading pleasure:

Published in 1998, btw.

Also Reed's comment about her two in-progress novels could not be more calibrated to appeal to me personally:

What We Are Seeking shows the influence of Joanna Russ's We Who Are About To ..., Janet Kagan's Hellspark, and The Left Hand of Darkness. Courting Hellfire contains DNA from Babel-17 and the Nero Wolfe novels.

ETA: the excellent bonus episode of Wizards Vs Lesbians where (in their new tradition of inviting authors they've featured to come on the podcast to talk about someone else's book) Cameron Reed joins them to talk about Samuel Delany's Stars In My Pocket Like Grains Of Sand:
