Am now imagining a children's book with Gruffalo-style illustration:

One day, Harry the Owl was reading the graffiti on the oak tree and saw a funny poem. He marked it with his claw and flew off to the fence post where he was kept busy with pest control.

Soon, Harry had a visit from PC Gull. "You're nicked Harry the Owl," said PC Gull. "We've had a complaint from a transhare."

"You mean a rabbit," said Harry.

"No," said PC Gull, "Because sometimes, a hare-brain grows in a rabbity body...."

Blatant place mark.

Really interesting discussion of timelines of regulatory capture on the last thread.

My first experience dates back to 2011 when some sort of queer/trans rights group came to an abortion rights march I was on. I was just kind of baffled at the time, as when they had their chance at the mike, it was all TRANS RIGHTS NOW, and absolutely zero about reproductive autonomy. Literally didn’t mention abortion once, at an abortion rights march. At the time I just thought it was odd and a bit silly, but looking back now, I interpret it rather differently.

Wow, I love that post. I am always impressed by people who use the word "liminal".

Crowd justice is still short of its goal by the way. On the odd change the ruling doesn't go Harry's way.

I am glad to see Harry mentioned in the Sunday Telegraph today, along with Caroline Farrow. Article by Zoe Strimpel.
I am not a fan of the Telegraph, I prefer the Times, but it is good to see various newspapers taking a bit of notice.
