Racists brining the country to a standstill this week (under guise of fuel crisis) tried to intimidate one of the great charities in the country last night. MSOÉ have been feeding the unhoused for 11 years on O Connell street. Ugly scenes but beautiful show of solidarity from the people they feed.

Sky is still with us. He’s small now as he battles cancer but he’s happy and doing well. At nearly sixteen he’s still a fighter! He was meant to cross the rainbow bridge six months ago but the force is still very strong with this one!

Seen this going around but I’m Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George
A Twitter reply from Boy George to JKR. JKR said something predictably terfy. 

Boy George’s reply: 

This is your obsession and it's pretty relentless and for no reason. You don't get to decided who or what anyone is except when you write. In the real world people can and always will be what they want to be. You can't stop it but you can continue to make young kids lives more difficult. You are cruel JK, you have started to look cruel in pictures. All this obsession is wearing on your expression. The pictures of you mocking 'trans' people like Winston Churchill after the Supreme Court ruling. Your endless comments about how rich you are. It's depressing and tacky and proves you are desperate to mean something but sadly you are just being mean.
As my hilarious friend David Hoyle always says.
'Ladies & gentlemen and those of you still deciding. There are two type of people, nice people and c***s.
I do not expect any positive response and you will continue to be supported by women who see you as some kind of gender hero. Women are not better than men and men are not better than women. As a man, a biological one, rah, rah, I have no issue with a girl becoming a boy or the other way around. As a gay man who has worn make-up since 14 l had lived my entire life feeling awkward and afraid using male public toilets.
It's not easy being different and you are only making it harder. Why don't you buy a nice Scottish island or a farm and start a JK commune for traumatised Terfs. Or listen to your fellow Scott Sydney Banks and he will hopefully help you understand that this is all in your head.
