Sorry for being busy as a writer, but in due course I will have my first book for sale online and I will finish my second book in due course.

At this point if you’re coming out against UBI either admit you’re an idiot or that you just want to watch people suffer. It’s one or the other.

One of the main arguments for universal basic income is to make it so that people have money to spend so that business can keep making and selling. Turns out keeping people impoverished is bad for business.

I can't understand Christians who claim to believe in loving their neighbour and yet want to destruction of trans people. When they meet new atheist types who want the same they praise them. But new atheist who use late 19th century arguments think they are thick because they believe.

8 years ago, 'gender critical' transphobes launched a campaign against the Girl Guides, because they refused to exclude trans girls. A devastated mum of a young trans girl wrote this... Today, the bullying, braying, bigots got their wish! 😪 They are NOT "protecting girls" - it's bigotry and hate!

@onlycans.bsky.social is running the Valencia marathon THIS WEEKEND and the gfm is almost at £2450! This will pay for mine and @deeboom.bsky.social’s vocal surgeries so please share this link, consider donating, and feel good about helping two trans women live a little safer 💖 gofund.me/4f36eb02e

Britain should be a Republic

Today we honour and remember the people we have lost, and reflect on the progress made in fighting HIV Despite the advances in treatment and testing, we can't take for granted all the progress made. Stigma still persists and we must challenge it whenever we encounter it.

Now that Karoline Leavitt just confirmed that Frank Bradley gave the order for the second strike that killed two people clinging to boat wreckage (per @atrupar.com) this seems doubly relevant:

There is a budget in the UK I hear

Tonight 7.30pm, it's our Anarchist News Review! Obviously the Budget is on the agenda, but we also have an update on the Filton 24 trial with discussion of plans to cut juries from the justice system, the Mail's purchase of the Telegraph, and transatlantic antifa panics www.youtube.com/@freedom9763

There’s been some chat lately about politicians and civil servants becoming writers in Ireland. I’m a Green Party member since 2017 and my latest novel The Planter’s Daughter is an eco-crime story about why we Irish are so rubbish about climate and biodiversity. Also attacks transphobia.

You can literally say what you want about trans people and the UK courts are fine with it. This was a *child*

And if you're a trans person with trans-supportive parents - tell them about Transparent Action too! It's set up to counter the transphobia and support parents in taking a stand in an informed and safe way.

I said what I said.

What is happening in the world? I am so busy as a writer

New Liberals in 1938: "Go easy on Kristallnacht! Obviously, we oppose terrorizing Jews, it’s one of our founding principals, but we also don’t want things to happen that will set opposition to terrorizing Jews back in the long term"

Why are right wing liberal types the worst anti religious bigots? I never found that on the left. We all have different views but we accept each other and fight for workers rule.

One hell of a by-election. A big test if there is to be some sort of Centre/ Left transfer pact? Hutch running, Steenson and other Far Right , some mad Independents. Cieran Perry too. FG and FF candidates trying to win or position themselves for the next election. Galway West on the same day?

Outreach Catholics which is a mission for lgbt Catholics and is supported by Fr James Martin has to disable comments on X. I can only guess it's because of transphobia. That makes me angry. I know that there are lgbt Catholics who's faith and morals puts me to shame.

Iqbal Mohamed, a Your Party organising MP, has publically called Trans women "men" and called for their segregation in public spaces Anti-Trans+ ideology rots political parties from the inside out www.thecanary.co/trending/202... @thecanaryuk.bsky.social

I predict that ‘gender critical’ transphobes who consider themselves ‘left leaning’ will turn to Your Party - considering it a ‘safe space’ for their transphobia. And we all know how one bigotry leads to others (see Posie Parker) YP need to get a grip on this NOW to not be overwhelmed!

The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

If the usual suspects include Carville, Emanuel and Cuomo, I can make a pretty good guess why they're saying to lay off the Epstein stuff

let's not lose sight of the fact that bill clinton is an evil bastard tho.

I checked Twitter and I realised I needed to on here

Really nice summary of former President of Ireland Michael D Higgins impact on LGBTQ & others’ lives. A great man & one who stood for every Irish person’s dignity, at home & abroad.

Gorgeous Museum of the Moon at Merrion Square tonight. I think it's on all weekend? Check before you go tho - I just happened on it. There was a live orchestra as well, it was all gorgeous ☺️

The multi-lingual, multi-denominational inaugeration of Catherine Connolly is great and entirely in keeping with the vision of Ireland's original constitution

removing a trans person's connection to the internet is an act of deliberate social isolation with intent to 'convert' and everyone knows it
