Meet the Feminist Academics Championing Trans Rights - a small counter to the clamouring voices of trans-exclusive "feminists" which dominate the media at the moment.
99 Good News Stories You Probably Didn't Hear About in 2018 - because it's good to remember that not all of the news is terrible.
The Thing About Ghost Stories, by Naomi Kritzer - slightly spooky and utterly charming.
The Rose MacGregor Drinking and Admiration Society - what happens when fae men meet a woman who isn't given to pining. Great fun (and I think Nanny Ogg as a girl must have been a bit like Rose).
Twitter thread on the hidden history beneath an unremarkable field in France.
The Susan Archetype in Children's Literature (I was surprised when I went back to work this week to discover that my recent files list included files named Susan Walker, Susan Pevensie, Susan Death, Susan Foreman and Susan Calman, until I remembered that I'd been testing out the new workload model and decided to to with Susans as my sample people. I would have had Susan from The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, too, but I couldn't remember her surname.)
We Rate Dogs' video of the dogs of 2018
How the World Improved in 2018, in 15 charts - more not-terrible news.
How to Make a Paper Crane, by Elsa Sjunneson-Henry - a beautiful and powerful piece about accessibility and disability rights.

Her Left Hand, the Darkness, by Alison Smith - a lovely piece on the writer's memory of Ursula Le Guin.

It was disturbing to have the argument unexpectedly and in person
My brother mostly didn't like being labelled 'cis' which is a rather lesser (if pretty dumb) bad take in my book.
