I last failed at vegetarianism when I caught myself eating tuna from the cat's bowl. It was clean, but still. My cat was pissed off too..

Burnham's speech was delivered really well, and sounded really positive ... unless you're listening as a trans person or someone else who cares about human rights Because then you realise it was all just glitter and fluff, and Labour will be as brutal as ever if there's a right-wing vote in it

Seeing the Fairford Five released is intriguing. Our government defines practically anything it doesn't like as terrorism & speculation is already full of the richness of British cultural pastimes 🍿 Terrorist dogging? 😂 Painting fighter town red? (possibly!) Just liberating some farmer's diesel? 🤔

Fucksake. I tend to start my bsky on my "mutuals" tab but I've just noticed that a post from a mutual just wasn't on there, so I guess I've been missing a load of posts for ages 😠 Unless it's because they muted me? <muffled sobbing>

Obviously no idea what's going off at RAF Fairford with the bomb squad but the BBC footage is a great help to anyone wanting to attack the Americans, lots of great views of the airbase 🙄 Newsreader doesn't seem to credit we've all watched Trigger Point either :) www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...

RAF Fairford: Counter-terror police lead investigation into major incident near air base, officials say
Several men have been arrested on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act. The US Air Force say they "remain vigilant" to ensure safety of services members at the RAF base.

We went to England and all we got was a fairly evil dose of covid. Both of us at the same time. The kinky nurse costume with the N95 mask looks like it's staying in @divinegoth.bsky.social's wardrobe this time

One of the best threads on this stuff I've seen - speaking as a British trans woman who used to walk streets for Labour. In fact, it's so good I might start quoting it into the mentions of all the "Enjoy the camps" centrists.

And the thing here is that to make use of the gov lie that “trans people are still protected from discrimination” means suing them, something costly and difficult and for what. They created a bind where to keep being in work this trans man has to legally demand his own segregation provision

Yet, the Labour party in the UK will still pat themselves on the back on the amazing piece of legislation that is the Equality Act 2010... the same legislation being nullified and used to segregate trans people... there is a simple fix, but the government have chosen to cost the taxpayer millions.

There is a side of me that still feels a sickness in my stomach “am I committing a betrayal” but then I think “when you are thrown under the bus and everyone either walks by or tells the shover, I see your legitimate concerns” - their loyalty was gone long before yours

Off to spend 5 or 6 hours with the M74 and M6. Hope any bigots lurking around the ladies toilets appreciate my t-shirt, I chose it especially for them
Me, no makeup, but wearing a superman t-shirt. I'm stood in front of the larger of my aquariums but there's no fish on show. They're more fussy about appearance I guess

We met with the Scottish Government this week - and made clear that the Westminster conversion practices bill is not only insufficient but may actually make things worse in the fight against conversion practices. It is vital that Scotland proceeds with a bill itself. With the Govmnt or without it.

What implementing trans segregation in hospital wards says to trans people is very much “if you want To Live, submit, or die, we’re fine with that too”

I see Yvette Cooper has been on Times radio announcing that trans people must be humiliated on single sex wards because "it's the law" Is it bollocks; the government could change the law in a couple of months She actually means "It's the cruelty, the right-wing love it"

Got home to a letter from the Sandyford who've repeated my whole bloody medical transition to my GP. So there goes my pseudo stealth I'd acquired moving NHS England to Scotland and doubtless in comes trans broken arm syndrome. Sigh

I seem unusual among UK trans journalists in that I have a regular publication. That's because I write about tech, if I wrote about politics or trans stuff I would be excluded like all the other trans voices. A whole generation of very bright talent, extinguished. Editors should be ashamed.

I suspect the GC mob think that if they humiliate and threaten us enough then all trans people will disappear And yes, they will likely kill some of us, one way or another But most of us will still be here despite everything and anything they try 🧵 👇

I've heard that the GC event in Belfast encouraged people to join trans supportive groups in order to change 'hearts and minds' from within. Organisations need to take note that this is most certainly a problem and it needs nipped in the bud.

Today is the day ladies that women and girls have been waiting for. No more sexual assaults or rapes, the Police will be out of business. Only that is complete crap. The GC mafia would have u believe that trans people are the problem. Things won't change however because they aren't the problem.

Is it just me reading this as incitement for the public to challenge anyone who doesn't look right? When that doesn't work as they imagine, they're absolutely going to launch a full campaign to make it illegal for trans people to use gendered spaces
