Ah lovely, the UK is now a segregated society and I'm one of those in the other camp.

In 2015, the UK was ranked first in Europe for LGBTI rights. Two years ago, just before the election of Keir Starmer, we were 16th. Today the UK is ranked 22nd.

Oh great, more nonsense to contend with.

This hits hard. I've stopped enjoying lots of things I used to, conversations with my partner about buying treats for ourselves are framed in a context of "Well we might not be in a position to do this in the future, so might as well treat ourselves now". The future just feels hopeless.

All the flowering trees right now makes me think of the Entwives

I feel this with every fiber of my being.

imagining the discourse and the likely policing response if a bunch of climate protesters with bicycles headed down the country and blocked tractors from accessing their fields for several days

The NYT has caught on to how much people want to see this and republished the videos. Their gift links don't have a view count limit. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/c...

Yeah that one side effect of "breast tissue swelling"... Just say boobs, you grow boobs. Ask me how I know 🙃 Apparently it's totally fine for cis men to take estrogen, or cis women to take testosterone now but not if you're one of them transes.

The final moment for me was to get out of writing my PhD thesis as I spiralled into an emotional blackhole. Approached my prof and said "I'm trans and it's all too much so I'm going to transition" he was amazing and supportive but told me I still had to write the thesis... So that was a fun time 😅

Breaking: Girlguiding has announced plans to kick out existing trans guides. They previously barred new trans members, but this is a heartbreaking step to exclude trans girls from existing groups of friends. It will be devastating for members and volunteers www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

Off you pop, #Nazis

Arghhhh wish I could see this!

Spotted these decorative rocks on the entrance to Keele Services with what I think is a Cordaites(?) trunk fossil! #UrbanFossilHunting #Fossils #StoneBothering

You sound like you're missing a tinfoil hat when you say outloud what the UK has done to trans people.

Day four of learning watercolour painting and also channelling my inner @13pigeons.bsky.social with her amazing work using lots of lovely purple!!! Saw some artwork in Cornwall which inspired me to recreate that feeling of being fast and loose with colour and sketching. #watercolour #gull

"A perfect storm for the health of Northern Ireland’s people and environment” Sewage, slurry & antibiotic resistant genes in the lough that supplies drinking water to 40% of NI. Watershed's @rachelsalvidge.bsky.social reports: share.google/UPhtlSbsGgye...

Everyday it gets worse, I fear for the future. 💔

Quick study of a feather #feather #watercolour #art

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride. Mainstream media: nothing Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes. Mainstream media: nothing. This is what extreme media bias looks like.

We trans people are not A People to them, not a demographic, but a social illness to cure

I was the archetypal nerd as a kid who loved maths, nature, books, and collecting fossils. I now design aircraft in my very boring day job. I rarely think about being trans and spend most of the day thinking about living in a bog among the newts. Labour want me and others like me to disappear.

Hanging out with the best boi, Mr Shadow. All Cats Are Beautiful #catcore

Bit of wild garlic for tonight's dinner 🤤💚

Chasing Coughs at Pendeen near Lands End. Can see the in the distance, nothing close enough to photograph yet 💜

Guess what, I have no A Levels and I had grade E in maths due to the abysmal standards of teaching in the 90s for kids like me. But I was able to go on and get a masters in aerospace engineering and complete a PhD in aerodynamics - literally maths degrees in disguise! Stop cutting off lifelines!

Took a trip to Mevagissey, such a lovely town. Bought ceramic art, glass octopus, and two jumpers! Also took some decent hand held long exposures on my phone! #mevagissey

Some epic lighting and atmosphere today. #cornwall #landscape

Day in the woods along the River Lerryn. Lots of moss. #Lerryn #moss

Down in Lerryn for a week, stone cottage, wood stove, tidal river full of wildlife just metres from the front door. Bliss.

How rude! No, no I will not. 😅

Ohh goody. 😐

Looks like the people of Manchester aren't buying the nonsense pedalled by Starmer. Aping Reform doesn't work, I swear they see good engagement on Twitter as what's popular with the public. Any bets on how long he'll last, should we bring out a lettuce again? #lettucepray #labour #votegreen

the desire to be perceived as an ominous presence in the woods as a response to the ever increasing all pervasive surveillance state

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

So, Roisin Murphy makes the statement that 'no one used the term "queer" unless it was to hurt someone who was gay'. I'm unable to ignore this. The following isn't about making personal comments about Roisin and it's not about the merits of the word, it's about challenging a lie.

Today I am Leeloo Multipass. I wanted vivid copper and I got vivid copper. But too vivid for this introvert but you only live once right...

Since we're doing arresting all the terrible men, when are we getting the footage of Blair being arrested for war crimes? A woman can dream.

Oh look it's one of them scary trans women in the ladies toilets at work. Oh no Starmer save us. #BeGayDoCrime #pisswhereIdamnwellplease #fuckyouIwontdowhatyoutellme

🔴 Sarcoscypha austriaca Scarlet elf cups are popping up in the woods. They grow on dead wood & love to hide in the damp. In European folklore, it was said that wood elves drank morning dew from the cups. Also known as Fairy baths! #fungi #fungifriends

In the uk giving your child a haircut they want not approved by the government is considered child abuse. Also calling them what they want to be called, you need a license for that

t has been a hard week. In truth, it has been a hard few years. For many trans+ people, the noise, the headlines, the debates and the hostility can feel relentless. So this Valentine’s, we wanted to do something simple. So we've launched our 'Letters of love to the trans community'...

Thanks for sharing this chicken! The exhibit looks amazing, some of these photos are incredible - the Amazon River Dolphin and Celestial Spores (UV light) images are on my bucket list!! 💜

Throwing my shit out of a 3rd floor window like an Elizabethan chambermaid until they stop being weird about genitals

After today's appeal court case we're now at the level of utter lunacy whereby a trans woman would be considered a women as a customer but also a man as an employee of the same business. Make it make sense?
