🚨Every 🚨 fucking 🚨 day🚨

I went to the @machomusicisstupid.co.uk popshow in Sheffield on Friday night and my head is so open to joy again - hug your friends, kiss your loves, go see bands, wear a trans badge, talk to people you don't know very well. We need all we can get so we can keep going ⚡⚡⚡

A stunning review of our set last night 🩷🪩🥹 popoptica.com/2025/06/01/e... "irresistible indiepop hooks, and a groove oscillating between disco and new wave. Just brilliant... a fully-formed set of vibrant songs which sounded as if we’d known them for always" Thanks SO MUCH @sarahlay.bsky.social 🫶

Fans of pop music, hooks, Abba, emotional blackmail chords, and literally everyone: ✨ listen ✨ to ✨ ✨ this tune ✨

I made a new zine! It's full of advice on how allies can work alongside trans people to take action in the current moment, lovingly cut-and-pasted over the words of my enemies. Plus lots of nice pictures and memes. Available as a free PDF! Read online or print your own copy! Share with everyone!

This has now become my no.1 aim in life

But the real crime is waving Palestinian flags

This is how you do it. Thankyou @dhfcw.bsky.social and @claptoncfc.co.uk for standing up for what's right and for your fans ❤️🇵🇸

An excellent statement from @claptoncfc.co.uk about the farcical match abandonment at today's laserwaffle trophy final 👇👇👇

#UK #JKR In what comes as a surprise to nobody, JK Rowling has embarked on her next phase of her path to radicalization. She now also offers to fund legal cases - provided applicants meet certain criteria. jkrwf.org?fbclid=IwQ0x...

Absolutely loving the clarity Labour is getting after the High Court ruling

Received a mailing list email from the mean marketing machine that is @machomusicisstupid.co.uk for their @junkwhaletheband.bsky.social @nathysg.bsky.social and @pinkopaque.co.uk #Sheffield show in a couple of weeks, and seconds later I'd bought a ticket. It was like I was in a trance!

Any time you see Labour continuing some truly horrid Tory policy, or allowing something disgusting to come in that the Tories previously set in motion, remember that they are sitting on a MONSTER MAJORITY that lets them do absolutely anything. So whatever they're doing, it's by CHOICE.

Parklife...?

The proposed amendment to the data bill is a terrifying attack on Trans existence, privacy and dignity. It's surveillance and erasure, it's a violation of human rights. Please write to your MP to demand they oppose it - template here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Genuinely unbelievable how blatant the ongoing trans rights scandal is in the UK

There are 20 (TWENTY!) trans women playing football at amateur level and 0 (ZERO) at professional level. This is pure ideology and nothing to do with courts or science or humanity really. Just fucking things up for kicks

Here's a poem for the closeted, those outside binaries, and everyone who longs to blossom. Fuck the Supreme Court and the EHRC. Oak is not the only tree. I love you.

I feel so lucky to have come across @longbarrowpress.bsky.social just when I needed to embrace contemporary poetry again. Life-changing encounters, walks, friends, books that get read again and again, that recalibrate my brain and make me believe. Read their story and buy the books

Now would be a really good time for cis allies to start wearing trans pride badges and make it even more impossible for the toilet police to determine who is and isn’t trans

Who knew we'd be looking to Metro for solid opinion pieces on trans rights, but we are where we are and this is a really good piece

This is the kind of practical action we need as the culture war escalates. Wild that a small music venue is prepared to do this while massive, wealthy institutions like my employer - a university - are not. But this is where people can put pressure as employees, customers, and service users.

Please donate whatever you can afford to this. It's gonna be a long fight: goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

How can we tolerate this? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Eighty-five years after its publication, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter still feels urgent and haunting. Carson McCullers wrote this novel at 23 and doesn’t hold back on how hard life can be—but also refuses to give up on the idea that, somehow, we still reach for each other. #booksky #carsonmccullers

Labour are trash, the Tories are trash, but it's important to do this and do it often, to follow up, and not give up, along other action www.translegalproject.org/post/urgent-...

He's a Tory cop, he's always been a Tory cop and if we're not fighting Labour with everything we have rn, we can't be trans allies

Since there have been two Popes called John Paul, I hope the next Pope takes the name George Ringo.

"... Every half-hour we rise to mute the radio news, its slow rock-steady riff of depletion and winding-up. DJ, play a song from before the sub-prime mortgage crisis." 'The Meanwhile Sites', the title poem from my @saltpublishing.com collection www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMeS...

Up until now, I've been coy and chilled about being misgendered, but absolutely no, I'm gonna fuck with their binary brains until they scream

This is it. You don't need to know anything else about the ruling
