Something about the Israeli popular vote feels wrong.

I was afraid to go to the Newport County/Tranmere match tomorrow. The Welsh club issued this statement: “Please reassure Zoe that the stewards will be made aware at our briefing, and any search will be by an appropriate gender. Our gender neutral toilet is available.” I am grateful to the club

There was a big turnout at the trans rally in Bristol this afternoon.

A few years ago I willingly shed my white male privileges to be the woman I always was. In doing so society regarded me as a second class citizen. Now the state has stripped me of those rights and I have become a third class citizen with few human rights. Life can be cruel.

I am going on Saturday

If what happened today hadn’t happened, then it soon would. Trump and Putin will cook up a deal Ukraine will rightly reject, and then Trump would have had a hissy fit.

Trump is a destroyer. Building relationships can take years, building trading relationships is painstaking and building businesses can take decades. Institutions can take centuries to build. Destroying these things can easily be done in days and that is what we are witnessing. Any fool can do it.

Can anything of NATO be salvaged or is the USA now Russia’s ally not Europe’s? All my life I have regarded the USA as our trusted friend, a closeness that my years living in America seemed to confirm. I have a profound feeling of betrayal.

The YouGov poll this week on U.K. public attitudes on transgender rights is very frightening. For now at least it seems the gender criticals and the far right are winning the case for our elimination. They are enabled by almost all mainstream media. This Labour government is cravenly following.

It feels like the western world is heading towards the end of the Age of Enlightenment

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945. The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

It makes me queasy to see this Labour Government throw chunks of red meat to the right wing voters on immigrants and transgender rights. No amount of cruelty will be enough for them. It won’t work and besmirches Labour’s reputation.

@togetherworks.bsky.social It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we must announce the unexpected closure of TogetherWORKS Caldicot on 31st March due to budget cuts. This is not a statement we imagined having to make, and we are all still in shock.

The fragility of American democracy appears to be exposed and exploited by an evil man. Can their legal and political system apply any brakes or are we witnessing the end of the USA as a free country?

Ha ha

My BlueSky feed is full of Newcastle United fans. I have no affiliation with this club. Tranmere are my team. It’s sending me crackers. What can I do about it?

westenglandbylines.co.uk/politics/why... This article by me on how terribly Labour is letting down the trans community is published today.

I can confirm that the WiFi on the tube is now good enough for people to conduct video calls while underground and it is awful.

Today is International Trans Day of Remembrance. This is the toughest time in history to be trans and visible in the world, thanks to certain politicians, billionaires, trash media and Evangelicals. And it’s particularly tough for children and teens. Now, more than ever, we need our allies. Ty ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

youtu.be/pVa5Q9qzWys?... The best thing I remember seeing on Strictly

My wife Bunty has been visited by Dorset Police concerning a tweet she wrote about Claire the Marxist nurse in our village. In the tweet Bunty called Claire’s vegan buns chewy; too dry to nibble & then called Claire a cake hater. Bunty’s right to free speech has been VIOLATED!😡

In the late 90s & early 2000s we in the UK received (very roughly) 80,000 asylum applications per year. Mainly people escaping Balkan wars. Today in these “unprecedented” times of “invasion” by small boat… we receive pretty much the exact same numbers. Had you been taken in? I wouldn’t blame you.

Coming up is one of Bristol’s biggest art exhibitions. We are so happy that @renrenwick.bsky.social the new director of the RWA will be joining us at the preview next Friday.

I think BlueSky has reached a critical mass. I signed up months ago and found little of interest. Now almost everyone of interest is here. The major journos/academics, leading trans figures and the big bonus, lots of Tranmere fans. It’s going to take time to rebuild followers - so what.

I wonder why I have so much NFL stuff in my Discover feed. I have zero interest. Tranmere Rovers are my thing.

That was 'Not Enough Resources' by Invalid Handle

We met floor-crossing Tory then Labour MP @rosieisaholt.bsky.social And she’s still defending Brexit…

Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised that the Labour Government is socially conservative. Its seeming lack of enthusiasm for the Assisted Dying Bill is just one symptom. Its intent to sustain the Tory anti Trans policies is another. There hasn’t been a socially liberal Labour Home Sec since Roy Jenkins

We're just 700 short of the magic 20,000 and at the rate we are growing on BlueSky that could be tomorrow. Please spread the word about our unique brand of citizen journalism here on BlueSky.

It's def "nice" that this place is less toxic, but I am worried about it becoming a bubble that lures me into a sense of false security. Before Brexit happened I had no exposure to horrible people at all so it was a shock

Bluesky adding 1M new users in a week is super cool. Welcome! I want to rebuild my audience from the last place. Help me out by sharing this post and responding with a 💙? I’ll follow back anybody who responds to this post.

Hello everyone. I am now on this platform for social media. Do please repost this message so that more people can find me!

I could watch Kemi Badenoch all day. The gulf between what she is & what she thinks she is could not be wider...

Being on here reminds me how nice it was not to be on any version of Truth Social

I am grieving the loss of the UK’s greatest ally. All my life I have felt safer because of America. Now I can’t.

I badly want BSky to succeed so I can escape Twitter. Hateful though it is, there are still a large number of people whose views I respect still available there, yet to appear here. But with time and patience…

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,219,164!

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the 2026 Australian census questions on sexuality and gender “weren’t appropriate”. www.thepinknews.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

The news Conference with Starmer and Scholz expresses lots of good will but zero detail. What is the point when we see nothing of the new treaty?

My first post here and I wish I had something novel to say about politics but it is being said better by others. Here in the UK it is the summer silly season.
