This is a good idea. It removes X’s perceived USP that that is where the news happens without removing yourself from the eyes of audiences you may wish to persuade. I’m not on X any longer. But I can understand the argument to stay in a limited capacity. But Helen is right. Bluesky first approach.

Zohran Mamdani recently celebrated Sylvia Rivera, spoke out against the hate campaign targeting the marginalised trans community, and promised to make New York an LGBTQIA sanctuary. He’s now Mayor of NYC! I hope UK politicians will have the backbone and decency to do the same. youtu.be/bEvVSpN0BXg 🏳️‍⚧️

2. After race after race was called, Dems won by wide margins in contests where anti-trans rhetoric dominated. For all the centrist consultants urging Democrats to “moderate” or sacrifice trans people, the results suggest the opposite: conviction, is what wins.

1. On Tuesday Night, Democrats won elections nationwide in a stunning rebuke of anti-transgender politics. From Virginia to New Jersey to New York and beyond, anti-trans candidates fell left and right after spending tons of time and money campaigning on hate. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I love when leftists think they should be allowed to have a little transphobia as a treat.

Watch Mamdani give his (excellent) speech youtu.be/NnM_RgL4M6w

Being optimistic about the future and optimistic that we can create a better society for ourselves and each other is a vote winner. Supporting the human rights of marginalised people is a vote winner. Hope is a vote winner. Lots to take away from this wherever you are in the world.

We’re so proud of this podcast. This recognises the first season of our podcast with QueerAF and the six budding audio producers we invested in to make it. If you haven’t yet listened to the podcast (we now have two seasons of it!) - where have you been? Listen 🎧 👇

Today is Trans Parent Day - a day to celebrate both parents who are trans and parents of trans people. It’s also an opportunity for us to speak about the pride we feel for our loved ones. We’re a group of parents of trans children and adults who care about their future.

1/8 I’ve spent the last 3 days tracking right-wing influencers morning and night. What I found is a machine, not a movement. Every day follows the same rhythm of fear, outrage, and punishment. It’s emotional conditioning disguised as news. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Super proud of this podcast. I think this is the third award shortlisting we’ve now had for it! 🥳 Give it a listen 🎧

We just had our first applicant to this 🙌 Please continue to share it within your networks. As you can imagine it is quite difficult to reach the right person for this opportunity when you’re a nonprofit with no budget for promoting volunteer roles. Thanks! 🙏

Join our volunteer team We’re seeking two events volunteers to help us make the third Trans+ History Week a success! Will you join us?

For too long, sporting bodies, @cam.ac.uk societies, and those who shrink in the face of hate, have adopted the blanket approach of excluding trans people from sport. Enough. We are suing the England and Wales Cricket Board. goodlaw.social/qvf6

We need more community space making at the moment. We want to up-skill 2 Trans+ people to help us put on the best events. And so you can get some skills to put on your own events too. This you? This someone you know? Tell them.

Trans+ History Week is creating something really special - a space to honour Trans+ history and uplift every Trans+ person Wanna get involved? Volunteer and help celebrate, educate, and empower 👇🏼

Yep - and Sky don't only advertise on GB News directly - they've been handling a large proportion of GB News's ad sales to other brands - more in this great piece from @smartypantsmarty.com: www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/time...

Join the team and help us to make our events in 2026 really shine ✨

This is remarkable. Let’s do some maths… this represents a growth rate of 20.97% in a week. If we assume that growth rate continues (exponential growth) we could see @greenparty.org.uk overtake Labour in terms of members (circa 333,000) in just under 5 weeks.

How can we use history stories as a tool for liberation? Three Trans+ creatives share their insights 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/how-do-we-tell-trans-history-so-we-can-all-learn-from-it/

Does anyone know what happened to @itsloulou43.bsky.social and their T Elders podcast?

Lily Allen was not fucking about. This album is everything I’ve been looking for. She exorcises all the shame of being fucked over by her partner, delivering it in a neat pink bow to where it should sit. With him. Her passion to make her ex bleed is the driving force behind it. And I love it.

Looks like this is on the agenda again.

Who else is taking a keen interest in this by-election? 👀

My feeling is that the sector will continue to face funding challenges. If you’d like to support @transhistoryweek.com financially. The best way is through direct debit. This gives us regular unrestricted income www.transhistoryweek.com/donate It’s a bit of a cliche but no amount is too small.

I’m sad to read of Manchester Pride going into voluntary liquidation. It is very hard out here financially for LGBTQIA+ orgs. Statement: www.manchesterpride.com/statement

Is Lily Allen arriving just in time to save pop music? 👀

I think the Traitors format is one of the best shows for illuminating unconscious bias - particularly the systemic, unconscious suspicion faced by people from the global majority. When contestants have no concrete information to go on, their biases come to the surface. Niko & Tamika exit first.

Thank god for CMAT and Euro-Country. That is all.

Today my team and I at @translash.org launched Season 4 of our investigative series #AntiTransHateMachine. For over a year looked at how Christian Nationalist and authoritarian forces are working together to destroy public education from the inside out using anti-trans hate.

Though today is Ada Lovelace Day, my thoughts also turn to another incredible woman and scientist. Her name is Lynn Conway - a trans woman who first designed the microchip allowing me to find Trans+ community online, and from there, do the work I do as a journalist. #ALD25

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe. 🏮 He points out the Supreme Court ignored human rights (which breaches its legal obligations) 🏮 He says, in effect agreeing with Lucy Powell, Parliament should be involved... rm.coe.int/letter-to-pa...

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you." - Miss Major, 2023 💔

The Trump speech today in the Knesset was so incredibly dystopian. It was endless mutual masturbation. And these are just two quotes from it. Speaking about America he said: “we make the best weapons in the world, and we’ve given a lot to Israel, … and you used them well.” Yes, “used them well”

The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves really matter. Especially right now when so many stories about us are not by us and are hateful distortions and lies. Now is your opportunity to shape the types of stories we develop for Year 3 of Trans+ History Week. Please share with your network.

It goes without saying that Mamdani’s policies are good ones, but as someone in PR I am impressed by what great communicators he and his team are. They artfully tie his messages back to a moment in history that underscores he is not proposing anything radical, but a continuation of NY’s story. 1/2

“Haribo declined to comment when approached by the BBC.”

Solidarity with all trans and intersex people having their existence debated every time a tv host hasn't done their prep and can't think of any more questions

Incredibly refreshing. Honouring the wisdom of our ancestors who paved the way.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Well this is extremely refreshing
