Samaritans Report a 40% increase in calls from the Trans Community since April 2025. I telephoned the Samaritans n 1969, in 1971, in 1974, and in 1978 I am still here because of those calls. Call the Samaritans, anytime for free any, from any phone, on 116 123 www.samaritans.org/news/samarit...

This whole thing of the entire global economy now being based solely on gullible fascists selling each other magic beans would be much funnier if the global economy wasn't how I feed, clothe, and house myself.

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

Despite warning signs that trans people are dying of suicide more than the general UK population, official data remains inadequate – while rights and healthcare rollbacks continue www.wearequeeraf.com/trans-people...

yeah seriously everyone just block @pinknews.bsky.social. bluesky is a queer platform and they're anti-queer. they favourably platformed a politician who is forcibly detransitioning ppl and embedding conversion torture on the nhs. repost this. let's starve them of an audience.

Happy to see that the train guy gave a heartfelt apology today. I think it is important to spread a sincere apology as widely as the original condemnation.

1978, when elderly men around Rotherham used girls aged 12-15 for sex - and the girls were seen as 'little better than prostitutes'.

“More than 250 people were subjected to painful electric shocks, designed to change their sexual preferences and gender identity, in NHS hospitals between 1965 and 1973…” And in 2025, conversion practices remain legal in the UK and the government is abusing trans youth by denying them healthcare.

This is your reminder that if you are a class member and have NOT yet filed a claim in Anthropic v. Bartz, the AI copyright lawsuit, you have 9 days to do so.

Another bump for this; expressions of interest due in by 24 March.

I am going to explicitly ask you for money. If you see this and you have £1 to spare please consider donating to Step Forward. They run excellent free services for youth (including but not exclusively LGBTQIA+ youth) in Tower Hamlets, the borough with the highest rate of child poverty in the UK.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

No, seriously. This would fall under my ‘combat patrol’ rate, so £800 for the whole set. Get in touch!

uk folks, an asbestos recall has been issued for 2 colours of colour forge hobby sand - www.gov.uk/product-safe... stay safe <3

apropos of nothing in particular, @lilashapiro.bsky.social gave us a tremendous piece of journalism last year, and it's always a great time to revisit it and thank her for the work she did in bringing these stories to light.

If it ever seems like GenX and elder Millennials are obnoxiously loud about queerphobia and, specifically, trans rights, you have to remember we grew up in a society saturated by homophobia and decided "never again". This shame and hatred must not simply be redirected. It must end with us.

Customer feedback this week; ‘Please can you get some more diversity at the National Trust by encouraging more hot men to visit.’ Ideas for how we do this v welcome. Nothing too racy please - we are the National Trust not the National Tryst.

Come and work for us. You can do from home it in your pyjamas, there are no work socials ever and we will never, ever, refer to our workplace as a family.

We need to big this up, a V important legal judgement; if it had gone against us it would have been all over the oligarch/transphobic media as a "Landmark" case. I suspect it may be very useful in preventing Universities from silencing trans people under the pretext of pandering to the OfS.

If you are arrested in Illinois protesting this new Israeli invasion and occupation of Gaza, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Okay folks! We’ve a real opportunity here. This petition is at 78,000 (ends 28 July!). With a good push, we can get it over the line. MPs *don't need to stick to the exact petition topic*. We can brief them to discuss any & ALL issues with trans healthcare. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... 1/🧵

The government argues its PIP cuts won't hit as many people as feared because applicants will appeal against rejections But DWP figures show a ten-month average wait for appeals. And that's before demand rises with the cuts By me, for Big Issue: www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

💥 “Israeli soldiers in Gaza told Haaretz that the army has deliberately fired at Palestinians near aid distribution sites over the past month.” No paywall: archive.is/3LjoW

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

seconding this. if you get hit directly in the head with an impact munitions like this or a grenade go immediately to the ER. don't stay to protest with your friends. Don't try to be "tough". your night or day is done. seek medical care

Out of curiosity... Do I know anyone who works at / has keys for Westminster Abbey?

The EHRC code of practice guidance consultation has arrived. www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre... We will forward any resources we find about filling it in. But don't rush to fill it in just yet. This thread will explain why: bsky.app/profile/what...

I guess it’s time for our bimonthly talk about alt text. What is it? A caption added to an image or GIF primarily for the purpose of helping blind/ low vision users navigate the website. Who should do it? Anyone posting an image or GIF. How do I do it? Tap the alt text icon when uploading. 1/

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

A brief thread on alt-text. Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

This is absolutely true. But also? Life being life, it's more complicated than 300 characters can explain. What's amazing is that when you look at the complexities it gets worse, not better, for crowd crying "Autistic, not trans." So let's have a thread, shall we? 1/who knows?

under “accessibility” in your settings, you’ll see a toggle button to require alt text whenever you’re posting media! i have this on so i don’t forget. i have fun with my alt text but most folks keep it short & sweet so it doesn’t need to take a lot of time either 🫶

Please do not let this make you feel like you don’t have access or the right to a tribunal, grievance, appeal, or union representation!! Trans people are explicitly included in the Equality Act 2010 under both LGBTQ+ and Gender Identity. This is shit but you’re still entitled to protection.

did you not know a trans rights activist was murdered in alabama? oh that’s a shame — guess you read The New York Times or something

Heads up that the “Learn Latin” guy from Twitter has just set up an account on here. If you don’t know, this account is a reactionary alt-right trad bro in all the worst ways. Let’s all preemptively block the bastard & deny him any oxygen. He doesn’t belong here.

Improve a first line by substituting Mrs Dalloway. Sing, Goddess of the rage of Mrs. Dalloway.

If you haven’t read and shared this solid take-down of the Telegraph puff-piece about Sullivan you should. No wonder trans people and our allies, like @mimmymum.bsky.social are banned from writing in mainstream media, transphobic “journalists” would be exposed and embarrassed all the time.

CHARITY PRINT! I was asked if I could make my b&w Indy sketch a print. So I’m producing a limited run with a third of the proceeds going to the, ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ charity. Last time I did this the charity received £400! If you’d like to join in: www.infinitebacon.com/shop/p/punch... TY!

Dangit folks, to repeat, I won't RP posts with images lacking alt text -- and there are some good ones I'd like to RP! Here's how you set it up so you have to include alt text:
