Post a song from the year you turned 12. That was an amazing year for music, how do I choose??? Ok I'll go for a less obvious one: youtu.be/4YrK1Rq7AKk?...

My latest Substack post serenastampfer.substack.com/p/a-letter-t... received a comment a few days ago, from "Kirstie", who identified herself as the partner of my ex, father of my child, and the man who abused me. (A thread) 1/7

On Monday, I was incredibly lucky to have attended @octopus.energy #energytechsummit as one of 500 customer ballot winners. It was such a good day, and really inspiring. I will put my photos and videos in this thread.

For those who may be interested, I have written the third installment in my Substack series about my personal experiences of domestic abuse: open.substack.com/pub/serenast...

“Whataboutism” is a of sign of willful ignorance & a weak argument “I love pizza” 😡: “No talking about DORITOS?!” “I think rape is wrong” 😡: “U don’t ever post about Alderaan!!” “Reading a Mars book” 😡: “You hate birds?” If your only argument is to change the topic, you have nothing to stand on

Maybe helpful to my trans friends 🏳️‍⚧️

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

Hell yeah, LA!

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

Love this!

Oh also, can someone explain the origin of the #NoKings phrase to an English person please?

Wtf has been going on in America today? Time to catch up 😱

Without downloading any new pics, where are you at mentally?

I've been glued to the feeds of the 12 @freedomflotilla.bsky.social volunteers most of the weekend, and waking up this morning I was horrified to find that they had been boarded and kidnapped by Israel. They knew this was going to happen yet they still chose to go. #AllEyesOnMadleen #AllEyesOnGaza

Israeli attacks kill at least 23 Palestinians in Gaza since dawn - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israeli-strikes-kill-least-23-palestinians-gaza-dawn

Palestinian photojournalist Abdel Rahim Khudr breaks down after discovering the loss of 48 family members in an Israeli air attack that hit his home in northern Gaza on the first day of Eid al-Adha.

Last week, we took a major step forward in establishing a public, independent inquiry into the UK's complicity in the Gaza genocide. I have written to the Prime Minister to ask for assurance that this inquiry will be established.

Turkey calls Israel 'terrorist state' over seizure of Gaza aid ship Madleen - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/turkey-calls-israel-terrorist-state-over-aid-ship-madleens-seizure

This sounds like aggressive “re-programming”… …and surely breaks international law as to what captors are allowed to do with their hostages.

France to seek 'swift return' of citizens aboard Gaza-bound boat intercepted by Israel - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/france-seek-swift-return-citizens-aboard-gaza-bound-boat-intercepted

Over 90,000 signatures. Will you help protect disabled children’s rights by signing and sharing? We need 100,000 to get a debate in Parliament. Under 18s can sign too. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

The EHRC Guidance is a wicked exercise in removing rights from trans people - and is bad too for employers and service providers, those outside gender norms, people with disabilities and the economy. We've created a tool to make it easy to respond. Please use and share. goodlaw.social/9e59e9

Random photos from #yorkpride yesterday. I had such a nice time! 🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

600+ people drowned in these waters, left to die by Europe while seeking safety. Today, we pass through this same sea on the 'Madleen', sailing to break sieges and borders.

I got my braid done today, ready for #YorkPride this weekend. Repping my trans sisters and brothers 🏳️‍⚧️ #translivesmatter

This is beautiful. Pure, peaceful, people power.

NEW POST: Fight the “devastating” plans to ban young disabled people from vital elements of Universal Credit benefits. Charity, @contactfamilies.bsky.social is on SNJ to explain the proposals clearly and what you can do. www.specialneedsjungle.com/f...

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

Trans Derangement Syndrome is terrifying. Imagine amassing more wealth than any human in existence can imagine and spending it all on trying to hurt people whose lives don't affect you at all

Last Saturday, I was extremely happy to go to a talk by the wonderful @drproudman.bsky.social, hosted by @cobrien.bsky.social, as a part of @yorkfestofideas.bsky.social. I've followed Dr Proudman's work for several years now, and was glad to grab a copy of her new book, 'He Said, She Said' too.

I'm spending far too long trying to think of people to look up on here who didn't have accounts when I was last on, but may have now. Also, the "Explore" section is terrible. Still.

I fear we will see many more tragic stories like this when Labour deliberately withdraws benefits - from millions of people with disabilities. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Conducting a campaign against "DEI", or, as properly defined, diversity, equality and inclusion, is a racist, classist and sexist endeavour. We all see it. We won't stand for it. Especially assholes like Blue Labour, and other so-called "thinktanks". On yer bike.

I think it's time I came back here! What's new?

Tesla sales in Europe are plummeting, with Germany down 60% and France 63% in January. Key factor: backlash over Elon Musk’s far-right affiliations, including support for AfD in Germany. His politics now impact Tesla’s market perception. This is the way.

I wasn't actually going to publish this today, but then he emailed me, criticising the fact that I was talking about domestic abuse online. So thanks, you pushed my timeline forward! open.substack.com/pub/serenast... #domesticabuse #believewomen #substack

I had a short but welcome return to Emmerdale this morning. Always nice to catch up with people!
