I first noticed that review scores of my own stories had halved... so I went scrolling around and all the review scores I looked at seem to have been cut in half. Maybe I'm bugged? Is anyone else seeing this type of thing (random screenshot of a RS story)? Reviews that are enthusiastic and probably 4s and 5s are halved? Nothing is getting more than 2.5 atm as far as I can see.
Trans & Intersex Pride Dublin will once again take to the streets on 11th July 2026 🏳️⚧️
Last year, 10,000 people marched at the largest ever Trans & Intersex Pride Dublin. This display of solidarity is a beacon of hope, at a time where trans and intersex people are facing increased far-right backlash.
Trans & Intersex Pride Dublin has always been a political protest, we are openly and proudly anti-capitalist. We are not only fighting for the liberation of trans and intersex people, but for the liberation of us all! Our commitment to building a militant grassroots movement hasn’t changed. What has changed is the amount of support we have reached. Year after year, our march has gotten bigger showing the real appetite for a liberation movement that fights back.
Information on an open meeting for brainstorming and organising coming soon.
See you then 🏳️⚧️
About 5,000 people took part in Kyiv Pride 2026, calling for equal rights and legal recognition of same-sex partnerships in Ukraine as the country continues to face the challenges of war.
Among the marchers were military personnel, veterans and supporters who said the lack of legal recognition leaves same-sex couples without access to key rights involving medical decisions, inheritance and military benefits. Participants carried Ukrainian and LGBT flags, observed a minute of silence for fallen service members and called for greater equality under the law.
TL;DR
600 homes makes this the largest settlement in prehistoric Ireland and Britain.
No evidence for elite residences.
Another - this time Irish - example that fits with the Wengrow and Graeber arguments made in The Dawn of Everything that everyone (including the Marxist left) underestimates the scale and sophistication of prehistoric societies.
I've launched a new story on Royal Road today. Having written all of book one, I'll be releasing chapters fast, 10 today, and then at least two a day for the next two weeks.
AFK Leveling is the story of a quick-witted child of the streets, Crow, living in the world of the 25 Kingdoms, where gods are playing out a game of conquest. Losing badly, with a last, desperate effort, Lord Scrithax, Crow’s god, gives the young rogue a boon: would he like a magic dagger? A ring of Invisibility? Crow instead asks for a unique power, to have the ability to make success rolls in a skill, even when he isn’t practicing it.
In this game-world, the odds that a skill will level up are only one in four hundred (and that’s for class skills, it’s even worse for non-class skills) so most adventurers grind their way up around a point a month. Crow can now do a check every three minutes, even in his sleep, and is leveling by more than one skill point a day. With this secret power, Crow is constantly underestimated by his enemies. And together with his friends he is optimistic as he sets out on the epic quest for the dragon army that might save his god, his city, and his adopted family.
