For anyone who wants to join a protest to support trans rights, here's list of the ones planned for Saturday 26th April. And beyond: whatthetrans.com/compilation-...

Delighted to have a poem up on @inksweatandtears.co.uk today. I hope you enjoy it.

This is an open letter if you are a UK writer in support of the trans community. Please add your name... you have to scroll to the very bottom and then click the link.

URGENT action by 7pm tonight for all trans people/ trans allies: A letter anyone can co-sign to try to put pressure on the UK govt NOT to accept more draconian applications of the Supreme Court ruling on transpeople. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We know today may feel especially heavy for our trans and non-binary siblings. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or affected by the UK Supreme Court’s decision, please know you’re not alone. We’re here for you every day from 10am to 10pm. #TransRights #Trans #NonBinary #SupremeCourt #Gender

I've put on my hob nailed boots and given the Supreme Court decision the kicking it deserves. goodlaw.social/vd3a

What has happened in the UK to trans people is arguably more than Trump has achieved in the US. There many states & activists have stood up to defend them. The legal routes here are so much harder but we must stand in solidarity & support our trans friends here. Shocked & disgusted by this.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Blimey. The Boston Anti-Trump Protest

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

Catching up on my records and realised I didn't share a poem of mine that was published last month (Must have been when we came down with the flu)!! So here it is, in the wonderful Mugwort Magazine mugwortmag.wordpress.com/2025/03/07/t... @mugwortmagazine.bsky.social

Long break with moving and flu issues so will catch up properly soon and back into the swing. But came here to whoop because I've had an acceptance from @magmapoetry.bsky.social and I'm delighted!

A real delight on here is the vibrant #poetrycommunity I've made a series of three starter packs of members of that community: poetry advocates, journals, competitions & above all #POETS. Here's PACK ONE. It's full. Please follow the great people inside & repost the pack if you can #booksky #poetry

So honoured to be on this wonderful list!

Great to have a snippet in this fine zine today.

I have a prose poem published in Issue 13 of Briefly Write today among some amazing poets, including my friend @juliandobson.bsky.social brieflywrite.com/2025/03/09/i...

Well what a wonderful surprise...my poem in the @rialtopoetry.bsky.social has been nominated for The Forward Prize! Thanks so much Michael Mackmin! Made my day/year!

What a wonderful poem to celebrate International Women's Day!

I'm in the middle of packing to move but came across this poem by @bigstevepoet.bsky.social today and wanted to take a few minutes out to share it.

Another wonderful resource of which I'm glad to be part.

I'm so looking forward to receiving my copy. Delighted to be included with you @calledterry.bsky.social and @kimwhysallhammond.bsky.social and looking forward to reading your poems!
