*going up to a straight couple* so which one of you is secretly sleeping with a Royal Navy captain and which one of you is secretly spying for the Chinese government

Caster Semenya, a two-time Olympian with a variation in her sex traits, criticized the IOC policy discriminating against transgender and intersex women. “It’s like now we need to prove that we are worthy as women to take part in sports. That is disrespect for women." www.nytimes.com/athletic/715...

The presence of teenaged boys sitting on the equipment and playing with their phones really ruins the hotel gym experience. Please, please move. I just want to do some nice weights.

I volunteered somewhere new tonight. The facilitator asked if anyone else in my girlguiding group left when I did. I said no. She said it's hard to be the only person to take a stand and that they're all about solidarity there. My HEART. I needed that so much.

Guiding began as a protest. If something isn't working, protest and make your own thing that does work. Leave. Leave now. Go.

It sickens me to my stomach that the existence of trans people has been wedged into the gap created by successive government's failure to deal with real national problems and made into something so grotesque as to exclude children from their friendship groups.

I was still a signatory on my old unit bank account (3 months after quitting) until about 3 days ago. I guess someone knew this was coming and thought I might do some fraud in retaliation?

Hey there, if you volunteer with girlguiding, and you intend to claim in any way to be a trans ally, resign today. The best time to resign was in December when they said no new trans members. The second best time is now. Any later than now and you're complicit, in my opinion.

Saw your boyfriend in Hobbycraft

I've just tried to suppress an allergic reaction for a whole comedy show through sheer force of will and now my eyes are streaming and my head hurts and maybe I should have just sneezed and risked drawing attention to myself and having to do audience interaction.

Messaging a friend about a comedy show we have tickets for and she appears to have either deleted signal or just blocked me and uh, cool. Cool cool cool. This isn't at all stressful.

kinda wild how labour mps are all 'poor wes, he is just trying to do what is right!'. no he fucking isn't. he's made it perfectly clear he's a transphobic piece of shit. he's made that abundantly clear every step of the way. it's also not actually his job to be banning medications and treatments.

Once again remembering the time a former friend told me that he thought the next step on the career ladder for me would be "executive assistant." What a bizarre thing to say. I'm in the office today for a very minor administrative task and it is slowly killing me.

Hi, it's me, a Labour MP. Gonna spend my Sunday on bluesky telling trans people that Wes Streeting is a very good boy indeed. Maybe I will then run to the Mail and tell them about all the abuse I got from those meanies.

Tonight, we're watching The Village. I haven't seen it before, but S. has. I started guessing at the twist before the opening sequence had finished. I assume it's not actually olden times and the creatures are a myth to stop people finding out. Excited to find out if I'm right!

In the same way that it is annoying that "exercise is good actually" turned out to be true despite every PE teacher I've ever met making me doubtful, it's quite annoying that creatine actually does seem to be useful in many ways.

‘Gender critical’ transphobes, Ex-EHRC Chair Kishwer Falkner, and Sharron Davies both hate other people having bodily autonomy - They’re now trying to stop people getting abortion pills by post! So much for pretending to care about women & girls! 🤷🏼‍♀️😖

The UK Government has already gone against the wishes of devolved nations. There is still a Section 35 order on the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill.

It's particularly upsetting as a rape survivor to see my suffering weaponised to justify these authoritarian measures. Measures which won't do anything to end sexual violence, but which will put individual liberty at greater risk from the state.

wait so there’s a major oil crisis and they’re gonna fly seven reps to meet each other so they can diplomatically avoid saying that one of them caused this whole ass crisis single-handedly? because that could be an email

I've seen multiple posts saying Queen Street station is still available as if that is in any way helpful or relevant. People tend not to fancy going from any Glasgow station to anywhere on offer, they usually have specific routes in mind. Fuck offffff.

Londoners maybe don't understand how huge this is because they've got so many stations. Glasgow has two and they're not set up to be easily interchangeable - Central goes everywhere south, Queen Street everywhere north.

Catching up on Great British Menu. I want to go to Pomelo because this guy's food looks amazing but it's on a road I once lived on and I think if I had to walk down it I would have a panic attack. Sad.

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Shouting at the radio because the 6Music roundtable are being rude about Sprints. Shut up. I love them and you are wrong.

The story has been picked up by mainstream press. Great work by @transactualuk.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

"Felipe Bustos Sierra’s latest documentary is a fitting one to open @glasgowfilmfest.bsky.social 2026 as a thoughtful exploration of Glasgow’s political history and how a community can come together to make a political difference." - @simonxix.com reviews: takeonecinema.net/2026/everybo...

Just remembered the time I was at the hustings for the general election and the terf behind me looked horrified when I politely picked up the water bottle she had dropped under my seat and handed it back to her.

Gonna start saying “THAT’s Extremism Baby!“ when doing just normal basic things

It's Purple Friday! Last year I dyed my hair purple to celebrate. It did not suit me. So this year rather than do something silly like that, I've just donated the cost of a bottle of purple hair dye to support LGBTQ+ young people across Scotland lgbtyouth.org.uk/purplefriday/

you were alive for the brief period of history when it was theoretically possible for convincing video footage to prove the existence of bigfoot

IT'S WEDNESDAY! It's #buyastrangerabook day! The grooviest day of all. I'll give out TWO books. FOR FREE. If you'd like one, let me know. Also, if you'd like to #BuyAStrangerABook too, let me know. It's a thing! Look. www.biggreenbookshop.com/stuff-you-mi... UK only.

So many incredibly sketchy men out there, and so little time or care given to the memory of Mo Mowlam.

What on earth is this Canestan advert where all the art pieces in the gallery have thrush? I cannot stop laughing. It's so weird.

The size of the scandal of what's being done to trans people in the UK is too big to even appreciate in one sitting and so many people just aren't even aware.

I feel sick with rage.

We're watching The Visit, a truly dreadful M Night Shyamalan film. Neither of us have seen it so at the halfway point we've written our predictions for the interesting twist.

“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

The women's big finalists are all so nice to each other, running in with lil congratulatory hugs for their competitors. Beautiful.

What's that you say, Anas? That you tweeted this last year in 2025 about your 'old friend' Peter Mandelson and now you think Starmer should resign but you should keep your job?

I've never felt more certain in my life that I've just been reliably told a grown man is crying in the bathroom

Emailing an editor to ask for a correction in a newspaper and then having to correct said editor on my name in his reply. Not a mis-spelling of my name. Just an entirely different name. An altogether more gendered one. A more paranoid person could assume that this is intentional. xoxo Hels

Solicitor Jonathan Harker starting to wonder if these two months he has spent in an unnatural, horrible net of gloom and mystery encompassed about with terrors that he dare not think of could have been an email.

i'm choosing to believe this is a direct quote from xi and none of you can change my mind

Me: do you need another cup of tea? It's important to stay hydrated when you're poorly Si: it's important to go to hell.

Took the day off work coz I was embarrassingly high on the unused annual leave league table. Went on. 3 hour walk and made a polish plum crumble cake. Real shame that I didn't hoard even more leave for a whole week of this sort of thing.
