Oh my goodness, you came! Tbh I wasn't sure you would but thank you. Seriously, the support means a lot. It's a shame I didn't get to thank you in person...tbh again I'm a bit miffed I didn't, especially as I was standing in the same section! Apparently I'm blind as a bat lol.

Did you see the person walking around with the dog standing on their shoulder? That was the highlight for me lol.

icklenellierose.bsky.social•4 days ago

I did not! That sounds adorable. There were lots of good dogs supporting human rights and being very well behaved in all the noise!

SadlyI didn't get a picture myself, so I'll have to use this one from the *shudder* Daily Mail I'm afraid. But that is one incredibly well trained and well-behaved doggo!

They were walking around like that for ages at the start and the dog stayed put without fuss the entire time! They were also the first ones to breech the green. I think that dog is my hero lol (again not my picture):

Not the coolest sign there, but I thought the imagery with parliament in the background was powerful:

Great composition. Also, not the most important thing to note, but I'm impressed by the legibility shown across the board here. (I say as someone who can't kern by hand to save their life)

theydes.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh thank you. I dabbed in photography some years ago, I was never great but I try my best heh And agreed about the legibility the signs - I write like a toddler with a broken hand lol.

I am very meticulous and even creative in my lettering, and have a fairly good spatial sense in every *other* context, yet ask me to write something on a rectangle...

I'm 40 and I still need lined paper lol.

Someone’s posting a spicy sign from the protest multiple times to multiple people as a “gotcha”.
- TERFs want to regulate people out of existence, shockingly those people might occasionally say spicy things as they fight back
- lol that self-censored sign was the only one you could find in thousands

The good old "you're not responding to your oppression politely enough" nonsense once again. You know where they can shove that!

Tone policing 1-0-1.

zombieham.bsky.social•4 days ago

God the attitude of "we expect you to be quiet and polite while we destroy your rights" is WILD!

icklenellierose.bsky.social•4 days ago

Also the account hadn’t been active in FIVE MONTHS, and previous to a slew of gender critical posts in the last few days, they had only posted about the Pentagon talking about UFOs. So yeah they are so pro women’s rights and aren’t being reactive AT ALL 🙄

It's a good thing they aren't a visible trans woman on social media because they wouldn't last 5 minutes if *that* sign was enough to cause conniptions

xenogil180.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good to see such support for the trans community

emerald-aly.bsky.social•5 days ago

Not that I had ANY doubt where you stood, but it's still so great to see you post this ❤️

hakobian.bsky.social•5 days ago

How about this one?

Awesome

I don't know quite where to ask, so to anyone who sees this, is Mike on the app? I'm relatively new to it myself. I've found the accounts for Andy, Jane (who don't seem to post much; still followed) and both channels, but not the Channell.

Would quite like to, if he has a public account.

He's not listed on the official Oxventure starter pack, so I would say not. Sorry!
