In an absolutely barbaric move, the Trump administration is officially cutting off specialized 988 suicide prevention support for LGBTQ+ youth. This is murder. From NPR: "SAMHSA announced Tuesday it was ending these specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth on July 17."

Child 2: There were so many Union Jacks up in the canteen that I had to check if WW3 had broken out. Turned out it was just fish and chips day.

Incredibly concerned to see the forcible interception of the Madleen in international waters, and thinking of all those who were on board and have been detained. UK must condemn this breach of international law and immediately demand their release.

For anyone who’s ever wondered what happens if you put fig leaf syrup into coffee, I can confirm that it rides the thin boundary between pleasant/weird and unpleasant/weird incredibly tightly.

This morning’s passive aggressive text to the children: I should not have to have a house rule that the person responsible for cleaning bolognese out of the gramophone horn is the person responsible for putting it in there. And yet…

It is absolutely intolerable that the Labour Government has another committed transphobe as their preferred candidate as new head of the EHRC. I rather doubt that the Women's and Equalities Committee has even been consulted.

The guy directing people out of the tube at Euston is telling the men getting on the escalator off, repeating “Ladies first please: women are vulnerable.” I have questions.

If I had 10% less self control, I’d sell up my comfortable metropolitan life and buy this marsh-bound money pit just for the What3Words address. www.onthemarket.com/details/1709...

There’s a real joy to leaning out of my bed and just seeing the fluffy butt of the Smallest Love sticking peacefully out of his soundproofed cave. There was such a long and difficult road to getting this dog to feel safe, and middle age suits his nervous system.

Today I’m thinking about the many immigrants who spent months trying to save my late partner’s life and how much worse this country would be without them. If this cruel, populist slide to the right is the best we can get from an ostensibly left-wing government, I have no hope left.

I just did toilet crimes by going and using a cubicle in the gents, a time-honoured gig tradition. I figure it’s probably fine: if we are a heterosexual couple I’m clearly the dude.

Every review of youth gender medicine is just, "there's evidence that this helps and no evidence that this causes harm, but here's why that doesn't count."

Here's the thing I have to stress about this letter: their argument is literally that "the UK Supreme Court Judgement has made life untenable for trans individuals, therefore it's unethical to let children transition if they'll be discriminated against by the policies we pushed for."

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Companies! Not too long ago a rainbow sticker indicated your store was a safe place for LGBTQ people. Time to start doing the same specifically for trans people. A little trans flag sticker in your window. I’d make a point to shop there.

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

I am out in a trans rights t-shirt and my haircut is so overdue that I fear I am harming the cause more than helping it.

Yesterday my mother-in-law was buried. I loved her and will miss her and it was complicated. Today is full of sorrow for her and for my late partner and her living, grieving sister and grandkids, and for lost places (a greenhouse, a home). But wild and ancient things endure. Safe home, Audrey.

In Gaza, World Central Kitchen @wck.org is among the last organizations still able to cook meals. The IDF has shut all crossings to shipments, including humanitarian relief. We are now nearing the end of our supplies—and the limits of what’s possible. mailchi.mp/wck/4-23-25-...

Kids dead from measles. that’s who RFKjr was talking about, he’s confused them with autistic people again. Kids dead from measles will never pay taxes, hold down a job, play baseball, write a porm. Kids dead with measles tear families apart. That goof, he got them the wrong way round.
