People criticise Novara Media and say they do nothing for the left and yet they've created this extremely useful infographic about Novara Media for us.

a request but could anyone help me be able to stock up a bit more on groceries? We've been good for 11+ days now but between the prior purchase and looking after my pets at the vet, I just want to make sure I stay ok as I continue to look for work. Thank you so much everyone 💗

Oh have the UK police forces embraced too much DEI? (An American term for some reason?) Do you know in the UK 80% of the police officers accused of domestic abuse get to keep their jobs? In fact only 40% of police officers accused of domestic abuse get investigated and only 9% actually go to court?

If the police are anti-white, then why are Black people seven times more likely to die in police custody? Or why do the predominantly white police force always look the other way whenever there’s a far-right rally taking place, compared to a pro-Palestine protest?

Finally people recognising what a bunch of us were pointing out years ago. Translucent and Steph are not pro trans

John Blanche's prize-winning mutant minotaur figure, complete with freehand Mona Lisa banner. Yes, he really was that good. Breathtaking!

www.paypal.com/paypalme/wir... Morning all, me again. I do now have fuel in the car but still need a hand with food and bills until the end of this week please if anyone can give me a hand 🙏 thanks in advance.

Ok so being non binary makes you basically cis, yea? I started my transition as a binary trans woman then decided the ‘genderqueer’ (thank you @rikiwilchins.bsky.social ) suited me better, then i decided i was a woman again, then non binary and these days i consider myself a woman When was i cis?

Hello, it's me again. Still needing a hand with food, fuel and bills please if anyone can assist. Many thanks and I'm sorry to have to keep asking.

Jess O'Thomson dedicates themselves body and spirit to fighting one of the most demoralising and gruelling political fights in the world. They contend with constant abuse from professional transphobes both online and off, and are thanked by people in our community calling them cis and privileged.

1/🧵 The Supreme Court has today overturned Cheshire West and removed important protections for severely disabled people. This case hits all the keywords: guidance, segregation, “never had the right”.

Firies are awesome 🩷🖤🏳️‍⚧️

hey remember the other day when i called @torstenbell.bsky.social here a 'mandelson mp'. here he is talking about policy with peter mandelson... for reasons. im sure it's perfectly fine and not iffy at all.

Timeline cleanse 🐑

www.paypal.com/paypalme/wir... Hello again folks. I am once again really sorry to be back to panhandling but my wages have been more or less swallowed by bills and there's still more to come next week on top of everything else. If anyone can please give me a hand until Friday I'd be hugely grateful.

i can't really think of a better description of @torstenbell.bsky.social than 'charlatan politician'. he spent years lying about his politics and was then parachuted in to a seat by peter mandelson and his chums. he's literally a 2024 mandelson mp and they're all deeply corrupt, bigoted, twats.

Police will soon have powers to create "mask-free zones" at protests. If collectively building and supporting a campaign of mass non-compliance – an effort to make these powers unenforceable – is not on the table, then what do protest groups and movements propose instead? netpol.org/2025/04/02/f...

1. This History Thread is about the use of aerial drones in Myanmar (Burma). Before 2021 coup, drones had civilian uses & military surveillance. Post-coup, innovative improvised warfare usage by anti-coup forces; more recent increased use by coup regime. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

For @coolzonemedia.bsky.social I shared a little sliver of my family's Nakba story, and how I found out more about an Israeli family member. open.spotify.com/episode/1hdS...

Watching interviews with victims of the global sumud flotilla kidnapping operation by Israel is fucking horrific and even more disturbing that the vast majority of what I'm seeing is in the Irish and Australian media rather than the British media.

Things that happened to me immediately after I said Marc Andreessen needs to be removed from power in an interview with the MIT Tech Review, the most prestigious tech publication in our industry:

Can they hurry up and tell Police Scotland because we've just had immigration enforcement going around every shop that looks foreign

Again if anyone can please help me out with food and petrol that would be splendid, thank you 🙏

I'm so sorry to ask again but if anyone can please give me a hand with things like petrol costs and food I'd really appreciate it thanks www.paypal.com/paypalme/wir...

I'm sorry to ask for this in these rather pressing financial times but £345 would really help me make more music and art.

No one cares who won. This competition is soaked in blood and you should be disgraced to have attended it. #Eurovisión2026

Reminder if you are still watching the Eurovision, you are a genocide apologist

I wish i had the resources to explore this more fully as a report but as someone who has worked in menta health care for nearly 20 years now, i can tell you - conversion therapy is an INDUSTRY in the UK.

I must not discourse. Discourse is the mind-killer. Discourse is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the discourse. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

As I explain here, the Labour party in power think the scum left are the few people they abuse online and not a large proportion of the 10 million Black and Brown people, whose votes they lost in cities, and we talk about how vile they are to our white friends, colleagues, and partners.

Boycott the Eurovision Song Contest. #eurovision #esc #boycotteurovision

If you're a juror on a trial where you even *suspect* the defendants are guilty of an offence carried out as an act of protest (because they've also been banning recent defendants from talking about Palestine), you absolutely *have* to acquit them, because you now don't know what the Judge will do.

Hey Dan why did you donate 2 and a half grand to a Labour MP's campaign

It doesn't matter who leads the Labour Party, the whole party is full of duplicitous liars who have thrown trans people under the bus for political advancement. Their reputation is tarred from the start. Rest assured we will return, time and again, to show they cannot stand in the way of liberation.

REMEMBER BOYCOTT EUROVISION

They won't even go after *actual terrorists* in Northern Ireland.

Wes Streeting recently, unprompted, said "it's not like I'm some kind of Christian religious bigot" talking to parents of trans kids. But he's putting people in charge of NHS trans healthcare who are funded by LITERALLY the same Christian conservative organisations that brought Trump to power.

The moderators at bluesky need to understand that public criticism and protest against moderation policies that happen to mention them as public facing representatives of the moderation policy itself are in fact just normal behaviour and one of the things people reasonably use social media for.

the definitive millennial song is Californication, because it was written by a paedophile and everyone hated it but you had to listen to it all year anyway

'Allies' failing the 'dont misgender the nonbinary person who has told you their pronouns are they/them' challenge. A day ending in 'y' it seems. Q wont see it, the rest of us will. Defaulting a nonbinary person to a gender you've allocated based on appearance stings.

I sincerely hope none of you queers are planning on watching Eurovision next week?! #boycottEurovision

Kathleen stock isn't a feminist, has never been a feminist, has surrounded herself with fellow travellers who think feminism is when you're deeply conservative about sex, most of whom are are also racist and validate her idea that feminism is about being conservative not liberation.

Aha, I've just read a nasty review of my new book, Feminism for a World on Fire. Kathleen Stock takes umbrage at my argument that feminists should be 'pro-immigration'. Yes, I do believe that if you call yourself a feminist but you are prepared to strip refugee and migrant women of their rights

For anyone wondering - @johnswinney.bsky.social and Hannah Mary Goodlad are at Toft pier in this photo, which is where you get the ferry to Yell from the North Mainland. Fixed links have been a talking point for Shetlanders in this election so here's hoping.
