Y’know what. As someone now privy to how much things cost to get done by/in a town council? If any of the St George’s cross scrawling twats makes a SINGLE complaint about council spending, I’m going to blow a gasket.

I will continue to sell to the UK & many locations around the world, but I regret that due to changes in tariffs I am forced to cease all sales to the US from 15 Aug. Get it while you can folks! folksy.com/shops/thewee... #Scotland #Landscape #OriginalArt #Drawing #Artwork #ArtFromScotland #bsnm

That Thing I couldn’t talk about a little while ago? I just got elected to my town’s Council! I’m officially a Town Councillor! Now to make sure I’m a good voice for the queer and trans community here. 🫡 I’m gonna go… relax, for a bit. Good lord.

I slept 12 hours, and then spent four alternately dozing and watching shorts. Then finally got up at 16.30 to eat 2 bowls of cereal and go back to dozing but on the sofa this time. Apparently I needed it. I’m not exaggerating when I say I’m exhausted right now.

It got identified as the next wedge issue after gay marriage and the American right started covertly funneling money to the tiny minority of UK bigots in order to help mainstream their position. They picked up some famous converts and now they're reaping the rewards. It's entirely manufactured.

If you’re doing the “trans men in women’s toilets” gotcha, 1) you’re making what was always a crap argument 2) you’re revealing that you haven’t read the UK Supreme Court judgment because it says trans men aren’t allowed in women’s spaces (because we look like men) OR men’s spaces

This is wild. I don't want to add my views until I've read considered and informed analysis of the ruling but this is very surprising and unfortunate. Although maybe it shouldn't be given that trans people were not allowed to represent ourselves in this case as interested parties

This case was about whether transgender women with GRCs count as female when it comes to the protected category of sex. The ruling's bullshit, but it doesn't change the fact that trans women are women, and it doesn't remove the protections under law for trans people *for being trans*

Right, because I've now seen misunderstandings of this enough times that it's got me worried that people don't know this - transgender people in the UK are protected by the Equality Act 2010 under the category of gender reassignment. *That* was not under discussion today and hasn't changed.

Aytch @aitchbaggins.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Yeah, ok, so, the Supreme Court just ruled that ‘woman’ refers exclusively to ‘biological sex’. Stepping back decades of protection, dignity and human rights for trans women. My commentary on the ‘GC’ community redacted here for my own protection.

So! My team at work are doing a Dwarf Sunflower growing challenge. On Wednesday 2nd we (most of us) potted our seeds. Apparently I’m the only one who used the whole bag, 3 seeds to a pot. I now have 8 sprouts 😌 I am enjoying this 😌

8 small nursery plat pots arranged inside a nursery plant tray, the lid off. The top row of 4 pots each have sprouts: left to right, 2 tiny sprouts, 2 mid sprouts, 2 large sprouts, 1 tiny sprout. In the bottom row, only 1 pot has a mid size sprout.

Back to work today, and after an unexpected 2 weeks off, instead of just the 1, my email inbox is HELL. But, I’ve had a good, slow, getting back into things kinda day. Currently reading something that makes me want to do a study on the differences in disability identity by age/generation.

Happy #transdayofvisibility ! 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ I'm Oriel, a trans/NB artist from Brasil! 💚💛💙 I love working with OCs/character-focused art, fantasy and lgbtq+ themes! Below are some of my trans OCs, who definitely helped me so much in figuring things out 💛 (names and pronouns in the alt text!) #art #OCs #tdov

digital drawing mimicking a red carpet picture, featuring my OCs Jupiter and Jillian. Jupiter is a 42yo nb person (she/they) with tan/golden freckled skin and below shoulder length wavy, layered brown hair with some greys showing, a longer section on her left side, braided. Her eyes are brown and they're wearing gold makeup. She's wearing a very flamboyant cape that's gold, teal and blue with many wings decorating the chest, pointing outside around her shoulders. Underneath, they are wearing a teal and dark blue pants and boots. Jupiter is holding a cane on her right hand (they have a left prosthetic leg, but it's covered by the pants here). Jillian is an 8 year old gnc trans boy with very dark skin, dark brown eyes, and long, dark, straight hair that's waist-length. He's wearing a fun, child-like variation of a white-cream smoking with pink details, with shorts, tall socks, sneakers, a waistcoat and a blazer with puffy sleeves, a large, pink bow on his neck, Sailor Moon-like. He has a pair of white angel wings on his back, with pink and teal on the tips of the feathers. Jillian is wearing a fun, glittery makeup, pink around his eyes and little gold stars and glitter on his cheeks. Jupiter is standing, looking at us serious, and Jillian is standing doing a Peace sign with one of his hands, smiling widely. On the foreground, we can see the blurred silhouettes of the "photographers" taking their pics on the red carpet!

Cassie (he/him), my trans man OC; it's a digital, colored portrait of him. Cassie here is around 37, he's white with long, waist-length curly hair that's red on the left side and white on the right side. His skin on the right side is affected by albinism in this version (sometimes, I represent that side as having burning scars, depending on the AU/version of him). His left eye is his natural eye color, green, and the right side is also affected, light blue and blind on that side. His skin is freckled where it's not affected by albinism. He also has a scar on his upper lip on the right side (cleft lip); he has a nostril ring piercing and some earrings on his ear. He's looking at us, with a bright, large smile on, and he's wearing a violet, sleeveless shirt

Black and pink ballpoint pen sketches on paper. Various drawings of my OC Persie (she/her trans woman) and Jupiter (she/they) when they were around 9. Persie is mixed race (black/indigenous), is fat and has long, wavy-curly hair. She has vitiligo, which affects her body and the front portion of her hair. Jupiter is a small kid with a Lichtenberg scar (she was hit by lightning) going from the top of their head to their right foot; Jupiter doesn't have her left leg, up the knee. Persie is saving Jupiter, carrying her on her back in the main drawing, and is hugging her on the others

My OC, Miyuki Kojima ( 小島美雪 ), 19yo, also known as YUKI/fuyu, one of the members of my fiction band drizzle/LAND – she/her trans woman. Digital art featuring her from the torso-up, and she's posing like this is a promo for the band. YUKI is Japanese, her skin is very pale and her waist-length, curly hair is dark near the roots and the rest is dyed white. Her eyes are golden. She's wearing a "stage" outfit, one she would wear in a drizzle/LAND performance, all dark green with dark golden embroideries. She's smiling at us, posing with one of her hands on her chest, and a crown of winter leaves and berries on her hair, decorated with gold jewelry that resembles rain drops around her face and on her forehead.

If this government actually wanted to do good, there are FAR better groups of people to go after than the disabled and sick. There may be a couple of 'good' things in this green paper, but they are hugely outweighed by the disastrous. Ridiculously bigoted move. Again.
