Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Re-nationalise water NOW!! This makes me SO angry. An entire local economy paralysed and losing vital revenue because of the fat cat bosses squeezing massive bonuses out of a natural monopoly that should NEVER have been run for profit.

This is why describing what’s happening in America with Trump (and the UK with Farage) as fascism isn’t strictly correct. It’s not about ideology or belief. The only ism these men care about is opportunism.

Daughter has GCSE mocks next week and is worried about anxiety creeping in while she waits for each exam to start. I joked about having a little magic spell or incantation she could repeat to herself. Anyway, inspired by Lady Macbeth's "Come mortal thoughts" speech I wrote this for her.

Time to move parliament out of London and build a new, fit-for-purpose building elsewhere in the UK. Imagine if they invested even a fraction of that total somewhere else? And the legacy financial impact of such an investment?

if money was mass, billionaires are black holes. they distort the shape of the universe around them. they crush and accumulate and pull in anything that gets close, just by the force of what they already have. normal rules break down in their proximity. they are bad for human beings
