The women's doubles matches were meant to be on Court 1, so I could watch them. But thanks to rain delays and Men's matches getting priority they've been moved to no camera Court 5 😠 Thanks a lot, LTA. You really have screwed this tournament for fans #BirminghamOpen

Worst thing the Birmingham Open did was integrate ATP into it this year. In the days of climate change & unpredictable weather, adding extra matches to a tournament schedule is stupidity. The women could get their matches played if they didn't have to contend with rain and then Men's matches. #WTA

British surgeon Victoria Rose, who's just returned from Gaza: "They're coming through the doors like a conveyor belt... really small children with massive injuries.. bits of their bodies blown off... every day at least half [of my cases] were under the age of 11.. its barbaric"

We only rate dogs. This is Chewbacca having a spa day. He's trying to relax. Please give him some privacy. 13/10

@erislovesmovies.bsky.social Now you've finished listening to David Copperfield, are you going to watch an adaptation? Like the 2019 movie or one of the mini-series

Happy #Pride? Not for #LGBTQ TV during the industry's contraction: "a queer show is going to be one of the first things impacted," one exec says. My deep dive into what's happening to programming made for and by the #queer community for @theankler.com: theankler.com/p/crisis-for...

There has been a guy in the crowd for at least two days, who is calls out to Brit players as Miss Watson or Miss Burrage. It is a bit creepy. #BirminghamOpen

It is my godfather's funeral this afternoon. I couldn't be there so I'll be watching via live stream 😢 It has been a month since he died but I still can't believe he's gone. He was such a lovely man.

Unintentionally, the greatest advert for a cinema I’ve ever seen

“Imagine flattening an irreplaceable grade I listed building like the Royal Albert Hall, replacing it with karaoke machines in various towns & then telling the public this is a ‘win-win’ for architecture & music” - brutally accurate analogy from @ruthtingay.bsky.social @wildjustice.bsky.social

They called her a mad cat woman and tried to destroy her reputation. Then they dragged her through the courts and tried to destroy her life. But @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is standing tall and continues telling the inconvenient truth. A must see. youtu.be/vG7CvbccdVM?...

For the 2nd time in the last week, I wasn't very hungry for lunch, so I only cooked some fresh corn on the cob and ate that.

One day politicians will have to treat the public like grown ups and force them to grapple with reality. Until then, this is the trap we are stuck in.

We have an obligation under international law to prevent genocide - and yet the government is still allowing arms to be exported from the UK to Israel while Palestinians are being massacred by the Israeli military. This must end.

There is grass court tennis playing right now that I can't watch, anywhere - because the LTA has ruined the Birmingham Classic. They should have left Surbiton and the Birmingham Classic alone and let them be streamed how they were already being. The Ilkley Open is also ruined next week #LTA #WTA

Here I downloaded it for you but this has been me for the last month

Jonathon Joss, voice actor on King of the Hill, was gunned down in broad daylight by a homophobic bigot who had been harassing the couple for some time. Texas cops did nothing to protect them.

I'm already missing Alison Van Utyvanck this grass court season. I always enjoyed seeing her play the first tournament of the season. She had the game for grass. Plus her being a openly lesbian player was nice to see each Pride month. #WTA

"Could I be a single-issue ideologue with no medical expertise? No, it is the doctors who are wrong"

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

Nuclear will be climate victim and soon - coastal flooding, inland river low-flow then flood. Nuclear takes up to 17 years for just one reactor. Just too late for climate. www.nuclearconsult.org/wp/wp-conten...

Dear breathless, gullible types in the UK eager to jump on the populist RW bandwagon: It’s illegal in the UK to hire anyone on any grounds other than merit. And it’s EDI, not DEI. HTH

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

The start of June means the beginning of Grass Court tennis season. I will be in my tennis bubble for the next 6 weeks and watch a crazy amount of matches. #WTA

We just watched a 28 minute short film on Fawesome, called Static Space. It is basically a mini lesbian romance movie and it is lovely #StaticSpace fawesome.tv/movies/10650...

On the three-year anniversary of the verdict in Depp v. Heard, I wrote about realizing the terrible truth that she was, in fact, the victim—and seeing the DARVO playbook weaponized against endless women online and in the courts ever since. spitfirenews.com/p/what-we-di...

Socialists spent the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s arguing against council house sales, privatisation, PFI, austerity and Brexit would damage Britain. Socialists were right on every point.

#LGBTQIA+ #PrideMonth2025

Doctor Who having 13 saying she loves Yaz during a scene 3 years too late. She's not even the doctor anymore and she never acted on her feelings with Yaz at the time. What a pathetic cop out. Crumbs don't count as rep #DoctorWho

GOOD

Genuinely, what the fuck is wrong with these people?

@erislovesmovies.bsky.social I hope Whiskey and Monstro are giving you birthday love 🎂 🎉

This looks like a hostage photo.
