As a biological woman, I really don’t understand the ‘fight’ against trans women. It seems fabricated to me, given I’ve never felt threatened or belittled by trans people of either gender identity. The patriarchy on the other hand… All I’m saying, let’s not distract from where the real war exists.

Happy World Poetry Day to all who celebrate. If you’re interested in writing poetry yourself, I hope this poem will be of some use.
Ten Rules for Aspiring Poets

1.  Poetry does not have to rhyme.
     Well, at least not all the time always.

2.  Metaphors can lend a poem power
     (but mixing them isn’t good).
      Should they start to fly in all directions,
      nip them in the bud.

3.  Focus and concentration
     are important skills to hone.
     Close the door. Turn off the wi-fi.
     Don’t get distracted by your ph

4.  Avoid clichés like the plague.

5.  Don’t write stuff that’s a bit vague.

6.  The use of unnecessarily long words
     may result in reader alienation.
     Curb your sesquipedalianism
     to obviate any obfuscation.

7.  Always proof-read you’re work.
     Accuracy can be it’s own reward!
     And remember that the penis
     mightier than the sword.

8.  Check haiku closely
     for lines which have too few
     or too many syllables.

9.  Never ever follow rules.

Almost 20 European leaders, incl Emmanuel Marcon & Friedrich Merz, plus VDL, have posted in support of @ZelenskyyUa after White House showdown. Notably, Keir Starmer has not. No 10 is referring reporters to PM’s comments this week on a just & lasting peace, with Ukraine at heart of talks.

A timely moment to remember that Donald Trump dodged the draft & JD Vance wondered a few short years ago whether he would turn out to be 'America's Hitler'...

America. You appear to have appointed a ridiculously underwritten character as your new White House press secretary. Redraft needed

I don't know if Bluesky is more USA-skewed than Twitter was, but still almost all the sports content I'm seeing is about teams called things like the South Oakland Raccoons or Pennsylvania Fuckforce.

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer. Morning.
