looking up good wedding ceremony readings and came across a list that contained this - NEED to speak to the people doing sylvia plath readings in their wedding
screenshot of wedding advice article listing a reading from 'The Journals of Sylvia Plath - Sylvia Plath' "I feel good with my husband: I like his warmth and his bigness and his being-there and his making and his jokes and stories and what he reads and how he likes fishing and walks and pigs and foxes and little animals and is honest and not vain or fame-crazy and how he shows his gladness for what I cook him and joy for when I make him something, a poem or a cake, and how he is troubled when I am unhappy and wants to do anything so I can fight out my soul-battles and grow up with courage and a philosophical ease. I love his good smell and his body that fits with mine as if they were made in the same body-shop to do just that. What is only pieces, doled out here and there to this boy and that boy, that made me like pieces of them, is all jammed together in my husband. So I don’t want to look around anymore: I don’t need to look around for anything." the article says "Why we love this wedding reading: A clear choice for lovers of literature, and these sentences sum up how the right person can feel as if they were made for you."

i'd recommend people read the response from an LGBTQ+ cancer charity to last year's EHRC proposed guidance - been thinking a lot about this particular section ever since i first read it (full response here outpatients.org.uk/2025/06/26/e...)
Screenshot of article reading: 
"The suggestion that transgender people should only be accommodated in side rooms is unfeasible. As anyone in healthcare knows, available side rooms are a rare commodity. If their use was mandated for all transgender patients it would largely be unenforceable. It is necessary to consider the broad variety of people who require side rooms and their availability across the NHS. As per NHS Estates documents, increased floor area, capital cost, management, and staffing issues also need to be considered. If a redrafted single-sex accommodation policy aligns with the EHRC’s Code of Practice, we feel that it could leave transgender people without reliable accommodation options, putting their clinical outcomes at risk."Quote from article
'“Let us take the example of Joelle, a trans woman who died of an eminently treatable cancer after waiting for eight days on a general ward, because clinicians could not agree whether she should be placed on a men’s ward or a women’s ward. The delay in treatment cost her her life.”

-Dr Roz Savage, MP'

this part is so maddening, and lays bare the ridiculous situation the supreme court has allowed, if you don't want your daughter to go to a girl's youth group that is trans inclusive there are plenty of options available! you shouldn't have the right to change one that is explicit in its beliefs!

idk i feel like if founding members are already acting like a sexist boys club and blocking gender balance on the initial working group the game might already be gone ?
Zarah Sultana statement reading: I want to clarify the situation regarding the membership system for Your Party.

Neither of this week's emails had the dual authorisation of both myself and Jeremy - which was the agreement made at the start of this process.

After being sidelined by the MPs named in today's statement and effectively frozen out of the official accounts, I took the step of launching a membership portal so that supporters could continue to engage and organise. This was in line with the roadmap set out to members on Monday and is a safe, secure, legitimate portal for the party. Everyone who supports us should sign up now.

My sole motivation has been to safeguard the grassroots involvement that is essential to building this party. Unfortunately, I have been subjected to what can only be described as a sexist boys' club: I have been treated appallingly and excluded completely. They have refused to allow any other women with voting rights on the Working Group, blocking the gender-balanced committee that both Jeremy and I signed up to.

It is also important to be transparent about why this situation has arisen. I do not believe members will accept Karie Murphy and her associates having sole financial control of members' money and sole constitutional control over our conference. This undermines the democratic principles we agreed to uphold.

From the outset, we agreed that MOU Operations Ltd - stewarded by Jamie Driscroll, Beth Winter and Andrew Feinstein - would hold and manage funds on behalf of members until the founding conference, at which point they would be transferred to a new entity established democratically. Every penny raised so far has gone to MOU Operations, and this continues to be the case within our new membership portal. This, to be clear, is members' money - and our members must decide how it is spent.

Screenshot of a PoliticsHome article reading "Exclusive: Labour peer Lord Glasman issued a warning about Lord Mandelson's appointment as British Ambassador to the United States being "unwise".

"When I was in Washington DC for the inauguration, maybe 1,000 people showed me photos of Mandelson and [Jeffrey] Epstein together, blowing out birthday candles and buying clothes together. And I did say then that this maybe was an unwise appointment," Glasman told PoliticsHome.

Glasman, who co-founded the Blue Labour movement, was the only Labour figure to be invited to President Donald Trump's inauguration earlier this year."

what a truly wild thing to say- if only trans activists had been nicer to "gender critical" feminists maybe their rights wouldn't be being rolled back :////
bluesky post by Helen Lewis reading: "As an aside, this must rank as one of the biggest campaigning misfires in all of history. A decade of “no platform”, ostracising, abuse etc to gender-critical feminists in the service of self-ID… has resulted in the law becoming *more* aligned with the GC position."

over on twitter m*chael w*lker is spouting transphobes talking points, so that's all good then
Tweet from Michael Walker "The reason the "fairness in sports thing" is a successful tactical wedge is because it's where terfs have a point.

Terfs also have a bunch of fringe and unpleasant ideas which should see them isolated, but they get a free pass because anyone sympathetic to trans rights but not fully signed up to the entire menu of TRA doctrine gets labelled a revolting terf and never wants to speak on the issue again."
