Let's talk about Bristol Pride 2026. The Good: as ever, the march & the party at Clifton Downs was spectacular, someone loved my dress & gave me a tiny plastic duck, we got adopted by older transfemmes (s/o Justine & posse!), Jason Donovan, Sister Sledge & Kelly Llorena brought the banging tunes.

In approximately 13 hours I will walk out of a salon a redhead for the first time in my life. Specifically, this shade of red. Turns out I didn't just want to kiss Jessica Rabbit when I was 7 years old, I wanted to *be* her.

For the past couple of years I have been monitoring one particular web page using what is basically a cron job. That job has been monitoring Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health's website, waiting for my second appointment to be scheduled. Today, I can delete that cron job.

His name was Daniel West & he was one of my best friends. And he succumbed to bipolar disorder a week ago. I am 💔. I loved him as a person and as a close friend. He was a light in so many lives & I have cried for hours over the loss of such a beautiful human. Say his name.

Describing Timothy Dalton to my girlfriend

A screenshot of a Whatsapp chat between my gf & me. I open with "Or rather, evil Gallifreyan High Council dude"

"High council dude? HIGH COUNCIL DUDE?"

"Yeah! In the one with Bernard Cribbins & The Master, Timothy Dalton is the High Council dude"

"High council? dude?"

"I'm guessing you're mad I don't know his name"

"President of Gallifrey lol"

"HE'S HIGH COUNCIL GALLIFREYAN DUDE"
"Close enough!"
"I am definitely close enough to get a pass on this cause he only appears in one episode"

Happy belated #TransDayOfVisibility #TDoV!!! (This was taken earlier in March at a hackathon in Bristol)

Ok, we're doing this, alright... first one I could find in my camera roll 🙃 please excuse the accidental deadnaming

A picture of me pre-transition after completing the London Marathon 2015, biting my medal. I'm wearing a Nike baseball cap, a red Twilio t-shirt, a bib in the colours of the National Autistic Society with the race number 32138 pinned to the front, compression shorts, and a fannypack to carry energy gels throughout the race (they were gross). My deadname is ironed on to the letters of my bib & the N has almost fallen off.

This is why I hate Evorel patches. This is less than 48hrs after application.

A photo of my thigh with two Evorel patches applied - one 100mg and one 100mg cut in half to make 50mg. The skin under the 50mg patch is red and irritated and the glue is starting to become ineffective, as the patch has wrinkled up and is not sitting flush on the skin.

After three days at home, my symptoms started getting worse, so I ended up in an ambulance back to A&E. This is what the inside of my back looks like, one ruptured L4/L5 disc. I'm having surgery in the next few hours.

I picture of an MRI scan with a line going through one spinal column disc, highlighting how it's ruptured. There is a black mass at L4/L5 protruding into a white line which indicates my cauda equina nerve.

Thankyou Stephen Crowder for the basest desktop backgrounds ever Iykyk and if you don't, this was supposed to be satire & the left went "actually yeah that's hot" youtu.be/Qp8jy7NBVbA?...

A picture of three desktop monitors, each with a screencap of a video by Stephen Crowder, supposedly satirising "The Squad" (Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, & Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) and stylising them like Powerpuff Girls. Joke's on Stephen, this video makes them look AWESOME.

Guess who just had the gayest dress ever arrive in the mail? #trans

Better picture... Attenborough took ASL lessons without informing the director or cast, so when the scene was filmed, her reaction of joy is 100% genuine and entirely unscripted.
