I’m here on Threads and Mastodon

You’ll get random things from me - mostly Wordle and Fred the cat - and while I love politics my current role demands I am sensible and I can’t post about politics including ongoing conflicts
Remembering @deerberrynz.bsky.social and my first date...

Also the fact when we caught up we both were like "I'm still reading this series..." shouting out our mutal recommendations...

Wow, a way to lose all my savings *and* tell the world I support the white nationalist CSAM emporium?

Are you trans or gender diverse?

Do you wanna swim in SE1?

Like or something so I get an idea of how many people might be up for this

More people will mean better time slot

More "Four Four Media" today ... @404media.co get the team to say your name correctly

I love your work and your podcasts - this is just that "top of the toothpaste" annoyance..

Clinicians: “First,
do no harm.”

NHS: “Fuck that.”
Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS.

These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st).

Forced medical detransition.

This country is a danger to trans children & young people.
Trans adolescents accessing the only NHS route to healthcare (WellBN) have been through a stressful year long transphobic investigation.

For a year they have sat under the threat of forced medical detransition.

With significant negative impacts. 1/2

I don’t know why - I am incensed when the members of the @404media.co team say “four four” rather than “four ough four”

I need a hobby!

The draft EHRC code of Practice is:

UNJUST - because it will exclude, discriminate against and harm trans people.
UNWORKABLE - because it means policing people based on their appearance.
UNNECESSARY - because there is no evidence that trans people pose a threat.

Damn - what’s going on in SE1 at the moment - a lot more blues and twos screaming around than usual

Thank you @catsprotectionnorthwestlondon for setting us up!

I can actually see the impact of the recent ruling on trans and bathrooms and changing spaces

This warning about my stress levels is from me engaging with the leisure centre I use almost daily on a “hearing all the voices” exercise

Fred agreed with Terry Pratchett’s thoughts on anger

“Anger was a weapon to be honed and treasured and used only at the moment yielding most premium.”

The Trans Debate
Do trans people exist
Yes
Do people who exist deserve human rights
Yes
Do you believe there are exceptions to the humans
for which human rights apply
If no - end of discussion
If yes - you have identified the problem And it’s not trans people

This week I fight to exist in systems

It’s a sunny Saturday - the coffee is good - and both @theguardian.com blind dates and @theguyliner.bsky.social have Delivered!!!

It’s a medium level mismatch made better by the Impeccable Manners review

If you’re moving abroad make sure you keep some documentation about your last UK address & the last date maybe also keep in contact with the Greens, LDs or Nats (depending on your vote) to ensure you can use your postal vote. Starmer wants to get rid of us, make sure he doesn’t get rid of our votes
If you're in the UK and aged under 35 and NOT looking at visas to get tf out of the country, then pull your bloody finger out! This isn't a game. Possession will become criminal next.

Working holiday visas are cheap and openly available. Start looking today!
The writing is on the wall. The UK is going to attempt to ban hormones for trans adults. This is just one of the steps they're taking to limit access slowly.

Attention BBC and Daily Mail newsdesks. It is being reliably reported that Reform UK MP Richard Tice dodged a £600,000 tax bill. Where's the media coverage?

Reports of the demise of irony have been greatly exaggerated

A year ago, Trump lambasted Zelensky in the Oval Office, pressing Ukraine to surrender

Trump said, “You don’t have the cards” and JD Vance attacked him for not wearing a suit

Now Trump is begging Ukraine to help in his war against Iran

It appears that @southwarkcouncil thinks it’s acceptable to not have “emergency cleaning” available on the weekend - so my entire block has to navigate a stairwell with human faeces for the whole weekend - after telling me it would be cleaned up in 24 hours!!!

TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. If bombing a school and killing 171 innocent schoolgirls aged 7 to 12 years old isn't a war crime, I don't know what is.
