All of this in order to stop a handful of trans women from sitting in a room with cis women and knitting scenic toppers for postboxes, organising a fundraiser for a local charity, or baking a cake for the village fête.

I know I'm Scottish, therefore I love all things battered, and I'm fond of a brussels sprout, but even I am unsure about this...

I just spent £15 getting deliveroo to bring me Ferrero Rocher. No regrets.

I'm watching a Christmas movie and this is one of the IMDb reviews...

As a compassionate and principled person I'm absolutely against capital punishment, it's morally and ethically unjustifiable. But I'd consider bringing it back for the person who decided to put Eclairs into Cadbury's Miniatures.

I still have my profile on the other place - and any time I log in half my feed is just people saying vague things and 50 replies asking for context. It's baffling.

Last year his estate donated the royalties for Last Christmas to his charity that offers funding for LGBTQIA+ orgs and they said they'd do it again this year. Listen to it loads!

So my boyfriend has never watched an episode of Stranger Things in his life and I started him on Episode 1 Season 1 last night - he's already on episode 7. He's gonna watch those kids grow up at the speed of light and have 0 pause in between seasons. I'm kinda jealous.

Nothing to see here, just @thetimes.com having to apologise for calling an anti-trans group anti-trans. The British media's complicity in instigating and prolonging moral panics targeting vulnerable minorities will be studied for years to come.

Watching the state pension age rise when you've got Scottish male genes...

I try to be tolerant of other people's political views, but I probably will be unfriending anyone who votes Reform. I'm sorry, but we just won't get on. 🚮

We now have 115,000 members (translation: a sh*t load). And we're not stopping there. Thousands of people are joining every week to be part of a different, hopeful politics. Join the Green Party today ⤵️

So the pound shop has a knock off of WD-40 and it's... 😳💦

Does anyone else have this thing happen where your phone says it has 4G or 5G signal, but it totally doesn't and nothing connects? I feel like I'm being lied to. 😬 Those little bars of lies. 📶

Ok, this is such a middle aged thing, but... My washing machine has a 3:40 cycle, or a 49 minute quick cycle, why doesn't it have something in between? You know, when you're in a moderate rush? Has no one invented a washing machine where you can say "ok, I've got 2 hours, do your thing"?

Things I never thought I'd say until I got over 40: "Well, that's quite enough excitement for one day"

This was the first test that had many trans people worried the Greens would fold. That they didn't is an excellent sign and a rare show of actual support for trans people from a political party that isn't just empty words. More of this @zackpolanski.bsky.social ❤️

So I just read a news article that mentioned Taylor Swift's "20 year career" and I nearly had a heart attack and died.

If "voluntary work" is a precondition to access certain rights as a citizen, then it's not voluntary, it's just unpaid labour. There's another name for that.

The major political parties, broadcasters, and institutions should all leave X. It's an extremely dangerous disinformation machine, and staying there only legitimises it and the chaotic agenda of the richest man in the world. Who is a raving fucking lunatic. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I love how Starmer says the BritCard is going to be free. If an online service is "free" - you, and your data, are the product.

So as part of my day job I regularly have to check people's right to be in the UK, via a UK passport, or an eVisa/share code. These are legal requirements. Anyone saying we need online ID so we can verify who has a right to be in the UK is lying to you. We already do that. They are lying.

I love how buses have added USB A charging points just in time for everyone moving to USB C.

As I didn’t say yesterday, this play is so good. Funny, but also very poignant. @davidpaisley.bsky.social and the rest of the cast are amazing. 💜💜💜

As it happens, if you want to see it, it’s on in London currently for a limited period at the Seven Dials Playhouse.

Thanks so much for coming!

Seeing this tomorrow night! It might be a bit like spending Saturday night at work, given the topic, but it sounds like it's a great production and exploration of some important themes. Very much enjoying the "hilarious, horny, and full of heart" review quote! That's just what we like!

Anyone free to see this with me on 8 or 15 June?

"Jock Night is both a love letter to queer nightlife and a raw, unfiltered snapshot of the people who live within it. Hilarious, horny, and full of heart, this is a night worth having." 🌟🌟🌟🌟 www.westendbestfriend.co.uk/news/review-...

See how the disinformation campaigns - waged by christo-fascist anti-LGBT lobbyists, and specifically targeting trans people - that were warned about 5 years ago, are coming to pass now! 😣 👉🏻 www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etud...

Thanks so much for coming to see the show!

Bit of a long shot - anyone want a spare ticket to tonight’s showing of Jock Night at Hope Mill Theatre? A friend can no longer make it.

"Jock Night is more than a night out at the theatre—it’s a mirror held up to a community in all its flawed, fabulous glory. Go for the laughs, stay for the honesty, and leave with your heart just a little more open." canal-st.co.uk/2025/05/22/r...

EXCLUSIVE: Interview with the cast of Jock Night www.g10online.com/cast-of-jock... Picture Dawn Kilner

“The Defendant admitted that this was its ordinary meaning, but contended that it was not defamatory in context because “the whole tone of the comment is abusive, simply exhibiting extreme dislike for the Claimant … and that the use of “nonce” is just more abuse” [31].”

Absolutely incredible defense argument from Glinner here. Top tier brain at work.

Graham Linehan legal case update: My legal team have published an update on where things stand in my defamation and harassment case against Linehan. ⚖️ This is what the case is actually about - despite what’s been claimed elsewhere. You can read it here: www.doughtystreet.co.uk/news/high-co...

The High Court has handed down a preliminary trial judgment in Paisley v Linehan dealing with three statements published as comments written by subscribers on the Defendant’s Substack blog. 1/3

Today Gordon Downey was sentenced for subjecting me to over two years of homophobic abuse. The court has imposed a three year restraining order & a substantial fine for his hateful conduct. It’s so important we stand up to hate and I want the LGBTQ community to know that #LoveWins, always.
