Oh yeah, Peter Brookes should be fired for this. Didn't know if that was clear.

Times Editor: You draw that cartoon of Zack Polanski? Peter Brookes: Sure did boss, real fuckin antisemitic just like you asked. Time Editor: great

As someone who grew up under Section 28 I have a lot to say about prohibiting children from any behaviour or education that could let them find community in knowing there are others out there who share their journey. I was so isolated, and it took far too many years before I could understand myself.

"In response to Sir Keir's interview with Today, Green Party leader Zack Polanski said the prime minister was "using the pain and fear of Jewish people to threaten further authoritarian restrictions on peaceful protest". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My academic book, ‘JK Rowling and the Anti-Trans Panic,’ is out September 2026. It is my analysis of the moral panic from Edinburgh, the ‘city of JK Rowling,’ where I study and work at JKR’s former university as it became a hub for anti-trans organizing … ohiostatepress.org/books/titles...

Do you think the Met are rebuking him like this because he's the worst person in politics, or could it be because he's a gay Jewish lefty who the media hates, so they can get away with joining in the pile-on

The system is rigged. An illegal war hikes bills for stuggling families - meanwhile energy giants rake in profits. We don't have to live like this any more. Vote Green on May 7th.

The ADF are anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, and anti-rights. Now they are importing their campaign to the UK and going after parkrun over trans inclusion. Labour need to tell them to jog on. share.nwmd.social/s/QcD0dbFb

Nightmare for them. Not for most of us. We deserve a peaceful democratic route to #indyref2

Fuming Unionist politicians have said that John Swinney’s vow to push forward plans for an independence referendum on the first sitting day of the next Holyrood term is a 'nightmare scenario'

I bloody LOVED my work and I was absolutely blessed to work in professional environments where sexual harassment wasn't a thing, and I could throw my whole energy into the issues I needed to solve without tripping over some grinning twat waving his genitals at me prospectively like a fucken chimp.

Not long till the annual face off outside the Usher Hall on Lothian Road to support the right to abortion. Get it in your diary and make sure you're on the right side of the street. @abortionrightsscot.bsky.social

Is anyone surprised?

Arrived in a plain white envelope today. Suggestions for best disposal: - with the used cat litter - in the compost dalek - burned and the ashes dropped into running water - dissolve slowly in CocaCola - ceremonially pour a milk shake over it Any other thoughts? #ReformUK #7thMay

There are no plans to ditch abolishing the monarchy from the Scottish Greens policy book, their co-leader has said, after it emerged Zack Polanski could scrap it in England and Wales👀

Scottish Greens pledge trade union education in schools THE Scottish Greens have pledged to bring trade union education into every secondary school in Scotland as part of their platform for next month's Holyrood election.  Co-leader Gillian Mackay made the commitment ahead of her address to the…

To correct the record: The gay rights movement I was a part of in the 1980s and 90s was not aiming for ‘toleration’. Mere acceptance was not enough. How would that help the isolated queer kid? No. We wanted that child to know they would be loved and celebrated just as they were.

Amazing that it’s always the same three transphobic columnists, over and over and over again. Here, we have the lesbian JD Vance rewriting a history she was never part of.

🔥NEW: Sir Olly Robbins says there was an expectation from No10 to get Mandelson in post "as quickly as humanly possible". There was a "dismissive attitude to his vetting process", Robbins says.

New children’s book follows an 8-year-old trans boy on the soccer field - www.outsports.com/2026/4/20/24...

Anti-trans hate groups wanting to work with the leader of @stonewalluk.bsky.social means that leader has already failed. I'll reiterate what others have said - Stonewall should be banned from Pride this year.

Six months before she even gets the job, Kezia Dugdale is already explaining she's feart of the bigot billionaire.

I think what stonewall doesn't realise is the level of betrayal gay Scots feel towards Kezia Dugdale specifically. Back in 2014 she was the gay Labour leader that helped pass marriage equality in Scotland. In fact four out of five parties had LGBT leaders that helped pass the legislation (1/3)

Happy 80th Birthday to the legendary Tim Curry! 🖤

...and then he blocked me.

Her achievements shouldn't be diminished by criticism of media and social attitudes. But there was and is a strain, as below, of tabloid media and social attitudes around women athletes. I believe the critique aims at them, and not her - a tremendous athlete and broadcaster, worthy of prominence.

Except they're not opposing renewables. They're opposing us flogging off still more of our natural resources to rent seeking overseas capital. And we can all click on the article to read this

If you were to compare the three brilliant black female athletes, I think Jessica would come out first as she has won Olympic and World gold. Denise a close second for her Olympic gold and world silvers, and Katarina third as she hasn’t yet won Olympic gold. But all three are amazing. /2

Good morning, BlueSky. #Caturday

What I learnt today is that in the UK a transphobe can scream and shout transphobic abuse at people right in front of a dozen police officers and get off scott free. Meanwhile a trans person so much as utters a single swear word and they are labeled "threatening" and have reputation trashed by press

This is Ricky. He was a runner-up in a pet photographer's "My Fabulous Weirdo" competition. Unfortunately when you are this fabulous, it can be very hard for the weird to shine through. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: portraitsofdogs)

Describes the Scottish political landscape really. On segregating trans people: Greens - NO! LibDems - No SNP - It's complicated Labour - Ordered to say yes Tories - Yes Reform - Yes

Violence against women and girls is a national emergency that we all must commit to urgently tackling. This legislation would be accompanied by funding for violence prevention services in local councils, schools, and community organisations to help end gender-based violence for good.

Spent the morning of my birthday out fighting Fascism, as one does. Interesting canvassing responses. A few feral snarls (always men), quite a few undecided, but lots of “anyone but Farage”.

True. Anti-trans activism isn't feminism.

The President of the United States is Unhinged. Frankly, many believe he’s crazy. The GOP lets this demented old man remain in power. SHAME! Another night of ranting... as we gear up to attack Cuba!

Was once told that responsible commentary should not posit mental health explanations for what public figures do: the commentator is not a mental health specialist, and the public figure is not their patient to diagnose. But there does come a point where one runs out of any other explanations.
