Prospect union members got an email today about a data breach that happened in June. Way too late and seemingly not enough information shared with members. Not particularly impressed with our union lately and this doesn’t help…

Most Trans+ people in the UK will wait more than a third of their adult life to get their first appointment at an NHS gender clinic, and some will never receive care, QueerAF can reveal 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/gender-clini...

Sadly, Hampstead Heath Bathing Ponds is turning into a horrible battle against GCs to preserve trans inclusion 🏊‍♀️🏳️‍⚧️🏊‍♂️ @translucent.org.uk are stepping up (with @goodlawproject.bsky.social) for the legal fight Please support if you possibly can via this fundraiser: translucent.org.uk/keep-hampste... TY🙏

The joys of tower block seaside living during a storm - it’s stunningly noisy, the sea is incredibly dramatic, and there’s been damage to some windows. Everyone is safe however. Don’t open your windows during a storm if you live in a tower block near the sea…

You’d think that at my age, I would know better but it’s quarter past one and I’m considering a “quick nap” with a pillow and blanket. And pyjamas. I’ll see you all at tea time.

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents. I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights. sianberry.org.uk/publications/l…

I never used to like rugby because of bad experiences with drunken, misogynistic, homophobic, generally awful student rugby players at uni. Here I am watching the women’s World Cup final and getting really invested.

Are you a library, knowledge and/or information worker who is LGBTQ+ and wants to get involved in the CILIP LGBTQ+ network? The committee is looking for a new chair, and I can highly recommend joining! Everyone on the committee is enthusiastic and engaged, the chair will have all the support

@petparent42.bsky.social are you watching the rugby this afternoon/morning?!

Listening to ABBA as I work this afternoon, realising their musical genius when on the album Arrival they follow the heartbreaking My Love, My Life with the somewhat whimsical Dum Dum Diddle, so I don't break down completely. Some might not like the daft songs but they knew what they were doing.

We're proud to support #TheLibrarians - a gripping story of ordinary people on the frontlines, risking everything to uphold fundamental rights. With freedom to read under attack, the heroes are... everyday librarians. @dogwoofdocs.bsky.social UK cinemas from 26 Sept: www.thelibrarians.film

Does trepanning work for migraines? Hypothetically, of course.

Our CILIP LGBTQ+ Network seeks a new Chair. You'll act as a leading officer & inform the decisions made to raise awareness & advise Library, Knowledge & Information workers in UK on LGBTQ+ subjects. Role open to those who identify as LGBTQ+ or Queer. informationprofessionaljobs.com/jobs/chair-u...

It’s time for women and allies to speak up. To say ‘not in our name’ to the discrimination and exclusion of trans people. Are you with us? ✍️ If you are a woman and agree please sign @nionwomen.bsky.social 's open letter https://goodlaw.social/wu1u

It’s Toffee’s 1st adoptaversary today! One year ago she was hiding behind my toilet but within a week she’d destroyed a plant, spilt water and generally caused chaos and I knew it was going to be alright. It’s been lovely seeing her gain confidence and I’m so glad I could provide a home for her.

Welcome to my account, which is just Star Trek, cats, general nonsense, and trans & queer stuff.

Tomorrow is the one year adoptaversary of ex-feral kitten Toffee. Ex-stray Evie joined us a couple of months later. They are still unable to meet without fighting as witnessed just this afternoon, but I stopped it immediately with a hiss. Does this mean I’m TopCat™️ now?

🚨 Deadline TOMORROW If your business supports inclusion – this is your last chance to sign our open letter to government. Stand against forced trans exclusion. Sign here: www.transsolidarityalliance.com/businesses-o...

More reasons why I want to be assimilated by the Borg: • no more migraines • instantly fluent in multiple languages • no longer needing to care what’s happening in the fascist bin fire of terf island Reasons not to: • who’ll feed the cats

Like many others, I’m kind of into fire fighters but I’m thinking the biggest reason is the @fbunational.bsky.social. Join a trade union and become instantly more attractive I mean protected in the workplace. I also like moustaches which is a recent development, I have stache goals.

Happy #StarTrekDay 🪐 Live long and prosper 🖖

So I am chronically tired but it was possibly a mistake to have a giant nap until 9pm when I need to get up and work tomorrow morning. Napping is great though. I’m napping the time away.

Well that woke me up!

We have now updated our website with a compilation of the actions against the supreme court with the latest letter writing campaigns and letters. The top of the page has all the actions you can take against the EHRC! whatthetrans.com/compilation-...

I'm happy to share this advert for a permanent part-time role in the library of @royalastrosoc.bsky.social share.google/K1v6wLMnhxQp...

I cannot cope with any more news. So I’m focusing on other things I’ve been thinking about, such as: Is a “round of toast” always two slices? Is a sandwich therefore a round? How many rounds of toast is too many? (there is only one right answer)

Here's a little something your mp can be doing, should be doing NOW! transactual.org.uk/blog/2025/09...

I’ll say it again: no one’s trying to make your kids trans or non-binary or gay. We’re trying to keep your trans or non-binary or gay kid alive, because we know (unlike certain howling straight people) exactly what it was like.

I’m watching the doco “I am Martin Parr” on BBC4. I love his work, not just because so much is from my current hometown New Brighton (The Last Resort).

For months now I’ve had constant migraines/headaches which is draining and depressing and I’m trying to work out possible triggers to avoid. Then I looked on here and at the news and I thought “maybe it’s just the giant bin fire surrounding us all”

Evie illustrating my present state here. I don’t have a blep but otherwise that’s my facial expression.

Less than 400 to go until 40,000 now! survey.gendercensus.com

My 1962 flat has what was a state-of-the-art hot air heating system. I haven't needed heating since March or so, but today the fan keeps turning off and on. No hot air, just noise, it's weird. Boiler ghost?

Do any northerners follow us? Here are a couple of #library and #archive events for #Manchester pride 🏳️‍🌈 #lgbtq #LGBT

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.

Mum’s iPad out of nowhere just said “I have neural pathways but they’re not grey”. Well ok then.

Here we go again. It’s been a whole year since last time! ON THIS DAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF THE EIGHT MONTH, YOU MUST HAIL BRYNOLF ALL HAIL BRYNOLF ALL HAIL BRYNOLF ALL HAIL BRYNOLF sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brynolf

It has been six years since the Gender Autonomy Act was passed in Iceland. In those six years, none of the usual fears that anti-trans advocates warn against have manifested - and trans people, non-binary people and intersex people have enjoyed increased rights and protections.

Dw i'n gwrando ar Radio Cymru 2 pan dw i'n gweitho heddiw, as if I'll suddenly gain fluency by osmosis. I'm getting every third word or so but not fully following the conversations. Yet. It's just a matter of time, right?

Watching Star Trek: Insurrection. My only complaint is Riker having to shave his beard, otherwise 10/10 film just like all other Trek films and I’ll never admit to anything different. Worf’s space cardie alone is worth the time spent watching.

Leonard Nimoy chose to pronounce certain words in a particular way (“sen-sor”) not only to sound Vulcan but also to hide his Boston accent, and I love that Ethan Peck has kept that pronunciation. Additionally Strange New Worlds is amongst the best Trek of all time.

The closing date to submit your short CV and cover letter is the 17th August! Come and coordinate us and act as our spokesperson! ⬇️

Apparently we’re related on my mum’s side to the bandleader on the Titanic, Wallace Hartley, who played as the ship sank.

Going to DYLYFU FEST at @futureyard.org this weekend. I know how to ask for a vodka in Welsh, but how do I say “lime & soda”? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🎵

“On a wet night, you need as many big lumps as possible” - some great out of context comments from the rugby commentators. We’re watching the rugby (Australia-British & Irish Lions) in the James Atherton pub, also known as the Two Helmets, and also previously known as the Three Bellends.

Hey all my gender diverse friends! The 2025 gender census is here 🎉 💛🤍💜🖤 💜🤍💚 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Sandie Peggie is two years younger than I am. Anyone who was a kid in the 1970s was surrounded by or subject to blatant racism far too often. And yet, we haven't all turned out to be racist bigots (or transphobic, or homophobic etc.). It's a rubbish excuse.

#WednesdayMystery Some baby plants, gently placed on a high kitchen shelf until they’re stronger, have this morning disappeared without a trace. The only suspects are me, and a small cat named Toffee. No remnants, not a bit of chewed leaf, no soil crumbs, just gone. Whatever could have happened………
