Still glowing like a Reddy Brek kid from last night. Rubbish pic, but at ko I turned to @mazleeds.bsky.social, pointed up and said "Beautiful moon... completely white! 😉"

As #LUFC fans we have to put up with a lot of hurt, frustration and disappointment. All the more reason to relish it then, when ER is at its most raucous best under the lights, and everything goes right. Think I'll keep the score update on my screen-lock for the rest of the day 😁

Leeds United FC. Putting in actual time and action to match the corporate value-statements. And I'm proud of that ✊🏾🏳️‍🌈⚽️🏳️‍⚧️ #LUFC

On #WorldAIDSDay we remember and send our love and support to all those worldwide and in our own communities who have been affected or are living with HIV, and urge everyone to think and use your voice to fight prejudice and end stigma around the condition.

The Crooked Spire trying to oudo York Minster ...

Eek! I've only gone and been paired for @christmasbookswap.bsky.social with one of the actual founders and organisers! I take this to mean either a) I'm an elite-level ##Jolabokoflod ninja or b) otherwise unmatchable No pressure 😬 📚🎄🍫

If you're struggling, you *don't* have to tough it out alone. Speak to someone. If you're worried a friend is struggling, ask how they're feeling. When they say "fine", ask "No, but really.. ?" And then ask again. www.mindwell-leeds.org.uk or NHS111 now have mental health specialists 🤗

A round of applause for the French is in order! 👏👏👏

Reform is a party that says things that appeal to racists, fields racist candidates, fawns over racist world leaders, made a convicted racist guest of honour at their conference, and whose leader refuses to outright deny having racially abused people. If only there were a word for such a party.

23,000. That's how many deaths can be blamed on Boris Johnson's chaotic Covid decisions and delays. Enough is enough, he must be stripped of his annual £115,000 handout. Sign the petition today: 38d.gs/bojo_all_df

Everyone else just about thawed out now? Thought it was a much better performance but performances don’t give us points or, save us from relegation. Ahhh come on Leeds. Let’s pull a blinder and take one of the big boys on 💪🏻💙💛🤍 #lufc

This is an especially difficult time for many families: if you can manage something, please support our friends at @lufctrust.com Fans' Foodbank - either near Billy at ER or online 🙏🏽 #ALAW donate.giveasyoulive.com/fundraising/...

Got my ticket for this one (thanks, Nic 🤗) Buzzing. Got the jitters. SO looking forward to ER tomorrow. "It's only a couple of hours" I say. "No, that's the whole weekend gone" says MrsT. And as ever, she's not wrong. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Morning

Last year my #Jolabokoflod partner sent me this, a Christmas mystery and departure from my normal read. I was deep into something else so saved it, and guess what... just finished a book as we get to mid-November 😁 Im enjoying it. And a body just dropped down the chimney! Sign up by Sunday!

That’s right! We said what we said and truly meant it 💙💛🤍 #lufc Please consider voting for #ThroughItAllTogether awards.whatsonstage.com/26th-annual-...

So just to clarify: I didn't cover the #LUFC logo, I *added* ours on the other side. But y'know... your creative option 😘 [If anyone wants a @marchingout.bsky.social stocker, btw, I've got loads, just saying.]

Ngl, I've had worse tat to compensate me for the repeated false-hope maybe one day being able to get a ticket. Improved mine, though 👌🏽🏳️‍🌈⚽️🏳️‍⚧️ @marchingout.bsky.social

To recap - when billionaires threaten to leave the country if they’re asked to pay a bit more tax, we should back off and rethink. When doctors, nurses, transport workers, teachers or anyone in the public sector goes on strike for better pay and conditions, they’re “holding the country to ransom”.

Anyone suffering withdrawals for #LUFC footy during the international break, get yourself along to Garforth tomorrow to see 4th-place Leeds take on relegation-facing York City. KO 2.00pm 🏳️‍🌈⚽️🏳️‍⚧️ www.marchingouttogether.co.uk/leeds-utd-wo...

This would be hilarious if it wasn't so.... real, pathetic. 😬💩

Saw this tonight: bloody brilliant. One man plays about 7-8 characters, plus prison life, addiction, survival, writing, relationships, trust or not, resistance vs hierarchy + The System, and the 'Irish War'. With credits to #Leeds Playhouse for putting it on. If it comes your way, go see.

Just read this in my current book. Seemed like a good share for 11th November 🙏🏽🕊 ('The island of missing trees', Elif Shafak.)

There's nothing more moving than a normally-raucous football crowd stood in perfect silence; full humanity to counter all of the horrors. [Pic: Elland Rd for LUFC v West Ham, 24 Oct]

Chance to pick up points and a boost before a difficult spell... or victims of a Dyche Bounce? 😬 Buckle up!!! #LUFC #MOT

Off work this week, so sneaked (snook?) a midweek run in the woods... 🍂💗 [Snap from my phone, & undoctored!]

This is the kind of content I'm here for 👌🏽😁

Here you go, #Leeds #LUFC, you know what to do... 💛🤍💙

Things you don't expect to see while quietly minding your own business on a Tuesday morning in that London 👀 #LUFC #LUFCWomen @marchingout.bsky.social @lufc-unofficial.bsky.social

Lovely smooth train journey down to that London this morning. Hope all the @lner.co.uk family have a good, peaceful day 🙏🏽🤗

Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. Nigel Farage described him as "an important voice for young men". That tells you all you need to know about Farage's moral compass.

Movember's come round again ...

Running. In the autumn woods. After rain. This is one of those two, maybe three, weekends where the woods turn up their autumn volume to 'Full' 🙏🏽💗

2026 and we still need to think about this! 😖 Use your voice to help change it, *NOT* keep old prejudices going. #LUFC 🏳️‍🌈⚽️🏳️‍⚧️ #ALAW

My first tentative jogs in over eight months, and it feels so good to be back out here. Paused the Garmin, had a bit of a moment. 🙏🏽🍂💗

I'm all here for promoted Champo teams messing up the entitlement of the PL. Especially the ones with noisy and proper fans. ✊🏾 @marchingout.bsky.social

My city and my England. Fabulous writing 👌🏽

Bloke in this Travelodge had two slices of toast with Nutella... And piled scrambled egg on top 😱 I think that's going to trouble me for the rest of the day.

Got a good spot for my high-viz this year, Murton Village 23 miles. Even got loos! 👌🏽 #YorkMarathon

Even Leeds Utd aren't going to ruin this weekend. And neither is the weather. Got my high-viz all polished, and I'll be there for *all* of you, somewhere around mile 23. You've done all the miles, now go get your medals. ✊🏽🏅 #YorkshireMarathon

Got my high-viz reporting instructions for #York #Marathon... surprised to see I'm on the cover! Ok it's not exactly Vogue but Ill take it! 😁📸😎

When Cavallo came out he had lots of love & support. Yet at the same time he's had to face the same hate & prejudice Justin Fashanu did 30yrs ago. No headlines. Still happening, every day; every workplace, bar, college, bus-stop, shop... Read this. It has to change. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

One day at a time. One step at a time. One breath at a time Image: www.instagram.com/danesadays

We are definitely competing at this level, and *so* close to a result today... but no actual points 😖 March on together, we can do this ✊🏽🤍💛💙 #LUFC 🏳️‍🌈⚽️🏳️‍⚧️

And the centre of that white dahlia... Is that a jet engine, or the finest most delicate porcelain ever...?

Here you go: take a moment's peace and natural beauty today from Golden Acre Park, #Leeds. 🙏🏽 Put your gadgets down and get outdoors, people. Just saying.

Well that was better than staying in to do the ironing! 😁💥 #LUFC

On my way to my first @leedsrefugeeforum.bsky.social beginners' English class of the new year. No idea who'll be there, or how many. I'll start, as always, with "You're welcome here 🤗"

I hope this is real. Perfectly put: England is not properly represented by bigots & bullies, and we need to use our voices to keep reminding everyone of that.
