🦈 On a quest for Blåhaj, I cycled across Sheffield! It was very hilly and the traffic wasn't the best, but I will have to get used to that considering my charity ride to Redditch on the 28th! 🚲 To donate: www.peoplesfundraising.com/fundraising/... For Strava nerds: strava.app.link/SetlIeGvpRb

"Bulwell is amazing" @nightkristina.bsky.social, 2025

I love to see this. Trans women are women. Gender non conforming women are women.

Tesla $TSLA now down more than 30% since its December 18 all-time high 📉 Ugly looking chart 🚨

📌 Northumberland Park @joe-dodman.bsky.social dragged me to Newcastle for a late Valentine's dinner... At Toby Carvery 😛 The car dependency is infuriating, but the T&W metro is amazing! Although, I definitely see the need for new rolling stock 🚉

Morning from Lincoln Central with @katie.x1labs.co.uk! 170515 is our first train of the day, the 10:04 service to Newark Northgate! Any ideas where we’re off to today? 🚝 EMR

It's time for another day of travels around England.

Just scaled NCR-64 to Newark in 18mph winds, and without using a map... I'm so tired 😩 But it's all in training for my big ride in March! You can donate here --> www.peoplesfundraising.com/fundraising/... For Strava nerds --> strava.app.link/Gjvkumh78Qb

On Friday, me and @nightkristina.bsky.social headed over to Grays and Chafford Hundred for some Ensign bashing and to revisit some places from our childhoods! It's sad to see an operator deteriorate so much... and to see such a car dependent place in general. Walking is completely impossible 😬

If you're a cis ally and you're *not* following this case... you should be. This woman is being harassed in a court of law, repeatedly misgendered & called a man to her face by an opposing lawyer. This is completely fine to the judge. I truly don't know how she copes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Public Service Announcement: @joe-dodman.bsky.social is an amazing boyfriend and I love him deeply :3 Oh, AND A KITE ON THE BLUE LINE

Thanks for over 100 followers! 💖

You really really just have to laugth at this point

It was at 19:22 this evening, 09/02/2025, that I made the step to estrange from my abusive mother. I am free now. I am safe now 🕯️

@showmeasign.online interesting way to map the UK motorway network

Self-determination for trans people is nothing new. Sir Ewan Forbes changed the sex on his birth certificate in the 1940s, announced his new name in the newspaper & legally married his wife. His cousin challenged the change for reasons of inheritance, but the judge ruled in Ewan’s favour. #LGBTHM

Did some bus veg in Lincoln before my 11 hour shift today. Turned out quite well, in my opinion 😁

And like that, the training for the 28th March begins! A fairly straight forward south Lincoln circular, mostly for practice with headwinds and tailwinds. On the outbound, I was facing some of the harshest winds I've ever cycled in, but still went faster than ever! On the return, I was at 19mph 😁

Another average day at Grantham with @joe-dodman.bsky.social

So we reunite, 170535 💜

This PR renaming of station needs to be stopped - there is no place for this anywhere on any network remember the issues from ‘Burberry Street’? Any marketing/PR bods considering this -as a pink n fluffy good thing need to been shown the door PDQ. www.theguardian.com/...

No worries Skye — it was amazing to see you too! I miss you already 🥹

🍽️ After a cheeky spoons breakfast, it’s time to visit Cleethorpes and see what all the “fuss” is about! 🤪

Was great going with you <3

Somehow encourage @skyehaynes.me to ride to Hykeham with me, so she could station check it. Easy night ride, as always 😁 strava.app.link/b21TOh99rQb

After much deliberation, I have decided to do another charity bike ride on the 28th March, for @transactualuk.bsky.social! This will take me riding from Lincoln to Redditch, over two days. For more information, visit: www.peoplesfundraising.com/fundraising/.... Let's make a difference 😄

...and its zoom zoom and away! 🚂 800201 takes me and Blåhaj from London King's Cross to Lincoln to see @katie.x1labs.co.uk 📸 Caught 153376 too! If I had more battery I would've got a few extra pictures; there was a Thameslink pretending to be a Great Northern on P9!

Utterly damning session before the WESC today in which real experts described the puberty blocker ban for trans children was described as ‘peculiar’. Cass is a dead report walking.

There it goes 507 001 off to be preserved by @class507.org.uk

Most average day at Grantham:

metro.co.uk/2025/01/18/t... Great article by @itsjoshmilton.bsky.social and it shows we need to be a pain in the ass.

Week 2: Departures from Brigg (Well, not many of them. No trains as Northern wouldn't supply, and the buses didn't show either) #BriggLine @iblrg.bsky.social

To all the newbies out there. It can be hard, but you will get there. You rock. You can do it.

📌 Kirton Lindsey After getting a bus at 8:30am from Lincoln, I decided to spend some time at KTL before going down the Brigg Line to Grimsby! Surprisingly there was another passenger... it's almost like there is demand for the Brigg Line *cough cough OLR* Obligatory @iblrg.bsky.social shout-out 😁

I've got a plan... and it may involve some once a day train services and some cursed gemini liveries 😳

On one hand, I have work to do. On the other hand, Enviro300 engine noises 😍

I'm nonbinary. I applied for a Gender Recognition Certificate. My application was granted, but I've had to sue the UK to try to get it issued. I've spent about £100k out of pocket already. I'm expecting another £100k in costs for my appeal, which is being heard next week. rya.nc/k7
