Hey friends. thinking about how to re-enter public life a little more. there's SO MUCH we need to do in the world. I 1st got involved in social media bc I saw that so many good people just needed a few tools that i had been lucky enough to grow up with and seek. How to best serve the community?

This year, Pride feels different. Charged with a palpable anger, passion and vigour that requires a sense of urgency. Help us fight back.

“I'm in no doubt about this: the Supreme Court ruling was wrong. And the recent EHRC guidance is wrong all over again. So we're lobbying MPs hard to reject it. And we will keep fighting to change the unworkable, unjust legislation. Our movement has never just sat down and accepted unjust laws.”

I'm in my 30s. I grew up on irc where adults clocked me as a kid and taught me how to protect myself. I saw the internet as we know it grow, and found countless communities along the way. Oh, and I lived in a country where the net was censored. Don't ban it - work with kids to protect them.

New Victoria Hospital will no longer provide masculising gender-affirming surgery from December. We have been assured by NHS England that it is looking at alternative providers to continue this service, and that they will keep patients informed. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/06...
TransActual is aware that NHS Gender Dysphoria National Referral Support Services (GDNRSS) has issued an email stating that New Victoria Hospital in London will no longer provide masculising gender-affirming surgery from December of this year.

We have been assured by NHS England that it is looking at alternative providers to continue this service, and that they will keep patients informed and up-to-date on this process.This situation will ultimately lead to further delays for trans patients who have already spent years on waiting lists. Whilst NHS England could not control the decision by New Victoria Hospital not to renew the contract, they have a responsibility to act to minimise the harm of delayed care. Waiting lists for these surgeries are already unacceptably long.

We continue to ask that NHS England support and finance patients to medically transition abroad – in EU countries or beyond – rather than delay care further.

Absolutely! I have a stutter and a processing speed disorder. It was women in disability justice spaces who taught me abt giving space for disfluent speech - the pauses, the false starts, the silences, the need for some to use assistive software or patiently wait for those who breathe differently.

glad you brought up disabled speech. because as a woman with a stutter, that is listening while people are speaking; not forming thoughts to immediately respond, HOLY SHIT!!! let people take a deep breath to get their thoughts together and the words out.

mikael 🏳️‍⚧️ @criptimelord.bsky.social · 13/06/2026
This is also something that occurs in disabled speech as people need time to recall words or process their thoughts or may other struggles with speech they're trying to overcome while they buy time. Just fucking let people talk and listen, it isn't so hard.

Where fiber history meets Pride. This is a large piece (10x28') of one of the two original 30x60' pride flags, the only known surviving section of either. They were designed, hand dyed and sewn by a community of queer artists. The colors are slightly different from most rainbow flags today.
