Why didn't we have a Trump In Need telethon to cover the millions of pounds it's costing for the security operation?

Huge hugs to your friend. You can also report to @transactualuk.bsky.social here (on behalf of her) transactual.org.uk/equality-act...

Has a great ring to it… After all, he does have 5 houses. Strange how he doesn’t like to publicise that fact…

"Mr Polanski who has launched a podcast which has surged to fourth in the charts, said the scandal proved politics was rigged to reward failure." Am I about to get lots of new podcast listener's from the Daily Express? Unexpected! www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

I'll watch anything with Matt Damon in it because I love him. So I watched The Instigators. Fun movie. Familiar representations of masculinity as wounded, failed, infantile, pursuing redemption, with a mother & child used only as signifier/prop for man's redemption & heroics.

I have to read Frozen stories to my 3yr old & was thinking, if Elsa can make ice & snow why do people still have to go into the mountains & harvest ice? I'm not about deskilling but it would seem a sustainable & economic option? New industries like reindeer safari or ice sports could be developed?

Paint me a moustache & call me an evolutionary biologist! THIS is indeed the correct biological response to toddlers & the under-5s !

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer. This thread explains why. 1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power. 🧵

I love it that "listening carefully to questions that he then answers directly" is a (checks notes) 'trick'. Maybe a few more pollies could learn it.

Beyond disgusted that Israeli President Herzog is set to visit London next week to meet Labour ministers. The Labour Party is living up to its reputation as The Genocide Party. Herzog should be arrested for war crimes the moment he sets foot on UK soil.

One of the things that I said about the obsession with pandemic learning loss is that the kids are always learning. Many of us are too afraid to ask what it is they are learning. This is a pretty good summary of some of the lessons.

Do you work in the NHS in England? Don’t let your MP stand by whilst thousands of jobs are put at risk - email them today and ask them to oppose damaging staffing cuts.  action.unison.org.uk/page/172538/...

If the UK was being genocided, I'd cover myself in union jacks & hope the world would do the same. If the UK was invaded by an expansionist country that set to war on us, blowing us all up & our beautiful cities & towns, I'd expect global solidarity & flying of union jack flags. But by the grace....

Rumour has it (based on some empirical evidence) that the date of release may be a little later. Perhaps a few weeks from now. There is no absolutely certainty though, so please think of support circles you can form in the meantime. My DMs are open. Please reach out. You are not alone.

This is every University lecturer. Sometimes it's true; sometimes it's just our vibe. Sorry!

Really enjoyed this interview today. You have until midday on Saturday to vote! 👇🏼

Bristol Feminists! Very limited places available to hear from Beatrix Campbell & Rahila Gupta speaking at the Watershed on publication of their new book. Spread the word www.drfinnmackay.co.uk/new-events/p...

Bath & Bristol look, the wonderful Kate Mosse has a new book for young people -feminism- Kate Mosse is one of those few famous ppl who is actually down to earth, friendly & genuine & I'm sure this will be a fabulous event bathfestivals.org.uk/childrens-li...

The fascists spend so long arguing that women and girls need to be protected against foreigners, queer people, whoever. But are they actually interested in understanding the lives of the people they seek to place under their cover? Are they fuck.

OMG! LOST GIRLS! BOYS HAVE SUCCEEDED, BUT AT WHAT PRICE? NATIONAL ENQUIRY NOW! GIRLS BEING LEFT BEHIND! ARE SCHOOLS MASCULINISED? DO WE NEED MORE FEMALE ROLE MODELS? GIRLS NEED ACTIVE LEARNING! HOW WILL GIRLS SUPPORT A FAMILY? WE MUST TEACH HEALTHY FEMININITY! www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

MEN: LEAVE WOMEN ALONE! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Remember that shoplifting from a supermarket isn't actually a problem - the stores are insured, they make ludicrous amounts of profit anyway (Extra cost they could have simply not charged you), and the person doing it needs the product more than the store needs the money.

I knew girls were dominating academia at A Level now, but I didn’t realise there were NO boys.

Good luck to students getting A Level results today! Especially those coming to Bristol to study with us at UWE. If you didn't quite get the grades you were expecting, & are going into clearing, give us a call; clearing lines are open at the Uni.

If you are in Bristol & want to hear these two legends talking about their new book, then watch this space. Rahila Gupta & Bea Campbell will be here in October, courtesy of UWE Public Sociology.

Shiny new book for me so I can read it properly in real life! Loving the intro already, these two don't hold back.

After the anti-liberal Hungarian government published the Pink Education Report questioning women‘s right to enter higher education, I wrote that the next step will be not to allow women to vote. Voilà!

“And I have no time for this. I don’t have a second to bear [it]. Because what you might call diversity, I just call an open door.” www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a... 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love all the new stuff, but Alison Bechdel should give us the book we really want. Which is the story of a lesbian and her cat and it should be called: "Are You My Baby?".

📢 Article Alert! "To warn or not to warn? Trigger warnings in Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences in UK HE", by JMC researchers @profkarenboyle.bsky.social, Melanie McCarry & Melody House, has been selected for the Journal of Gender-Based Violence Editors’ Collection Choice! 👏 🆓 Free access here:

Jfc archive.ph/taXyE the law says we must hassle everyone about their genitals & birth certificates when they go to the toilet or try on some clothes in a changing room.

Internationalist Cat's Day!

Abhorrent homophobia/transphobia. Says stickers aren't distributed to schools. FWS saying obvs marketed at children? Like adults don't buy stickers & stuff with cartoons? FWS says children being groomed to choose a gender identity? Like children aren't groomed into gender roles in our faces daily.

This is such disgusting queerphobia. Even for the Times, published a piece that uncritically repeats the claim that a queer rights org is grooming children is fucking awful. The UK is regressing at an alarming rate.

Someone should design Monica's door frame from Friends in a size that fits around a cat flap. I would buy this.

"In the UK last year almost a quarter of 18-24 year old women voted Green (according to YouGov), and just 12% voted for any right-wing party."

Notice the infantalising, yet nervous tiptoeing around Trump, in commentary, questions, interviews. It's usually acknowledged that he is often incoherent, but must be flattered & his ramblings taken seriously by more serious people. This is an extreme version of how society treats men in general.

Housework is pre-apocalypse prepping.

How the media & ppl in person treat Trump, is an extreme version of how society treats men in general. I just heard media coverage about how much Trump places value on what he sees on TV, & so how he talks about what he's watching on TV can give us an idea of his stance & future actions, on Gaza.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.
