We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

It’s honestly devastating to see that the fact that they’re reducing the income of disabled people to force them back to work even though there’s almost 0% fraud didn’t even make the top 5 reasons that people moved away from Labour. Yall aren’t outraged enough.

It should be obvious, but then I thought the definition of a woman was obvious. So to avoid any confusion on my stance here ever: trans rights are human rights. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. People beyond the binary exist. Disabled rights are human rights. Free Palestine.

Long (and exhausting) article on the BBC today about weight loss jabs and their cost to the NHS… no mention of the fact that the NHS doesn’t currently provide any services for binge eating disorder. And has been refusing me any services for over a decade. Maybe these things are linked??

I’ve STARTED (emphasis on started!) a spoken word poet starter pack (primarily based on U.K. & Ireland poets because I started with the people I know!). If you want to be added and you do spoken word just lemme know. When it inevitably outgrows the 150 limit I’ll make another. go.bsky.app/CNVXdRD

Increasingly tempted every day that passes to apply for funding and start producing sick as hell poetry anthologies. If anyone knows a publisher who is seeking someone to run an anthology project please let them know I am dying to pitch. 🤭

Reasons I love my partner #386294. Each year we get our dog an advent calendar, and this year we couldn’t afford to order from the shop that does them, but we have an advent calendar house with little drawers, so I suggested we fill it with dog treats and use that from now on. Which we did.

Things I love about my partner #3624. Yesterday I was in bed with a cold, spooned out, and Kasha went downstairs and I decided not to ask them to get me a drink because they’d just used a bunch of spoons to make us dinner without any help so I could rest. When they came back…

Things I love about my partner #937439 today we playtested a game in progress and they gleefully announced that I am great at breaking games and finding mischievous ways to exploit the rules. It’s so nice to be with someone who enjoys that part of my having fun. Rather than being mad.

Kathryn O’Driscoll (she/her) @poetryod.bsky.social · 17/09/2023

CW: sexual assault. This seems like the most secure place to let this out into the universe in the hopes I can let it out of my mind, so here it is. If you have ever sexually assaulted me, I don’t want or need you to congratulate me on passing my driving test. That’s fucking weird.

Kathryn O’Driscoll (she/her) @poetryod.bsky.social · 12/09/2023

Things I love about my partner #39374792. Last night they ran a D&D game for me and some of my poetry pals who have never played before. And then they loved it so we’re going to try and make it a campaign. They spent days preparing, building a room for combat, making dice sets for each person etc

Things I love about my partner #39474922. When they’re listening to a podcast and I just hear a sassy “all words are made up honey, that’s how language works.”
