In response to the UK Supreme Court's ruling today against the rights of trans people to exist, I've written the following to my MP (see in comments). I'd ask British Littens of good conscience to write to their own MP in support of our trans fellow citizens.

Bookwomble "I am very concerned about the ruling of the Supreme Court given on 16th April 2025 on the status of transgender (trans) people under the Equality Act, as it reinforces transphobic bigotry, further endangering the freedoms and wellbeing of British trans people.

While I am not myself trans, I fully support the rights of trans citizens to exist, to participate fully in the social life of our country, with the same rights of access to public and ⬇️

I am horrified by the creeping erosion of British civil liberties by socially conservative and right-wing activists, who persistently harass and target marginalised people to further their political agendas.

I would call upon you to express your full support for the rights of trans, non-binary and gender nonconforming people in any forthcoming debates about and appeals against the Supreme ⬇️

GingerAntics @Bookwomble nothing ever feels like enough, but it‘s a thing you can do. It‘s also one more way to stand with trans people. So it‘s definitely not nothing. 1w

Lesliereadsalot So shocking! We‘ve had plenty of shocks in the USA lately ourselves! 1w
AmyG Trans rights are human rights. How people live their lives, the right to live their life…affects them and no one else. Why do some people have the right to live as they choose, how they feel is best for them…and not others? A good, decent human being is just that. I am so sorry. This is horrible and heartbreaking. 7d

Always happy to read a new Agatha Raisin story! It‘s been awhile. While I will always miss M.C. Beaton, I do think the new author has a decent grasp of the characters. It‘s a little different but not enough to make me stop reading. Very happy Penelope Keith narrated the audiobook. 4⭐️

I didn't find the book I went looking for today, but better than if I'd found it, I found a book I didn't know I was looking for 😊

Saving Agnes: A Novel | Rachel Cusk
post image
Pickpick

Very enjoyable to read Cusk‘s first novel that really deftly captures the experience of being a young female adult. Some lines were so spot on: “She strove not to please others but merely not to disgust them.” An accurate portrait of growing into female adulthood in the 90s from my perspective. Agnes is a little trying at times, but I loved to see her find her way.

Billypar Great review! Also really liking the cover art and mug. After just reading my first Cusk a few months ago, I'm looking forward to trying more from her. 2mo
AnneCecilie This sounds interesting. I always want to read more from Cusk‘s backlist 2mo

Here‘s an add for the book at the end.
Yay! I‘m finally done with this book. I didn‘t realize I was so close to the end, the notes in the back of the book start at about the 50% mark! I‘m glad I read it & sad I didn‘t enjoy it, since the author is a famous female author. The historical notes at the end of the book an interesting, so I‘m reading them. #AuthorAMonth

Leftcoastzen I love the old book ads at the end. 3mo
tpixie @Leftcoastzen yes! It‘s a fun touch. A peek into the past 🦚 3mo
