It’s unlikely I’ll post much on here anymore. Mastodon is more the place for me (it’s not difficult if you give it a good go). If you’re there, search for saxifraga. I’ll pop in occasionally but mostly to look and maybe repost. #Mastodon

I’m on a judging panel for the Queer Student Awards (yay!), and will go to the awards ceremony. Social and body anxiety overload. So, I’ve thought fuck it, and want to get some fabulous clothes to feel fabulous. Lucy and Yak?(but not them, as they appear to have fatphobic tendencies now).

This is great: #Fediverse #Mastodon https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/how-to-join-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/#who-to-follow

Do people that I follow have a Mastodon account? I know there a at least a few mutuals that I’d love to see over there.

We went to Boxley churchyard in Kent to pay respect to my dad, who passed away suddenly nine years ago today. My grandparents are buried there and we scattered some of dad’s ashes nine years ago.

It’s #InternationalWomensDay and I want to celebrate all women, cis and trans. But mostly, I want to celebrate my mum. She’s going to be 80 in a few weeks, and tomorrow will be the 9th anniversary of her husband’s, my dad’s, sudden passing. Travelling to see her tomorrow.

Clickbait headline. Proton didn't hand anything to the FBI. Swiss authorities processed a legal request involving a shooting & explosives. This is about the highest existing legal bar. Even then only payment info was disclosed. This proves how little we hold. For max. anonymity - cash or crypto.

Proton Mail complied with a subpoena legally executed by Swiss authorities. That is exactly what they have always told users they would do in response to legal action. Yet this story frames it as Proton betraying their privacy promise. 404 Media does great work but this is a real misstep.

Question for Bluesky users: Do you use Mastodon or any other Fediverse apps as well? Why do you prefer Bluesky to Mastodon? What does Bluesky offer that Mastodon doesn't? Please share your perspectives on this!

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Thank you to @gutscharityuk.bsky.social for having me on their latest webinar ‘Getting to grips with Barrett’s oesophagus and oesophageal cancer’ as someone with Barrett’s. #Barretts #Guts https://youtu.be/5gxziS93e5k?si=1Liyz0Wh4nffG81W

I’m thrilled to be joining the judging panel for @queerstudentawards.bsky.social focus on Queer Leaders and Safer Spaces, with 2 new student vote categories introduced this year. Nominations are open and close on Wednesday 25th March. #QSA2026 #LGBTQ https://www.thequeerstudentawards.co.uk/

Rest in power, Jesse Jackson.

It's a special day when I look on @gutscharityuk.bsky.social website and see my story with Barrett's oesophagus on there. It says everything I wanted it to say and helps to raise awareness of the condition. #Barretts #Charity #DigestiveHealth gutscharity.org.uk/awareness/pe...

One of the things I’ve loved most about the #Olympics is seeing Lizzy Yarnold on the TV. Engaging, interesting and likeable - she needs to had a permanent presenting job with the BBC.

We're new here so please help us reach more people across the UK charity sector. We have a thriving LinkedIn community and we're just about to launch a safe(r) virtual meet up for CEOs, a space to connect and support eachother. Get involved! #TSAT #ThirdSectorAgainstTransphobia

It’s soon Valentine’s Day and I wonder how many #ELT classes will focus on the day. I also wonder how many will include #LGBTQIA relationships. My short resource, Love is love, aimed at B2 students is available to download for free! #TEFL #ESOL https://peterjfullagar.co.uk/eltshop/love-is-love/

Oh, Moira. 😭

I see lots of people talking about Upscrolled. Don’t forget there’s Mastodon, Pixelfed and Loops.

In my tiny poll on #Mastodon, 93% of the respondents think that @zackpolanski.bsky.social#Mastodonshould revive his Mastodon account.

🚨 6 DAYS LEFT 🚨 We have just one week to stop Sex Matters infiltrating a vote to ban conversion therapy. Over 5,000 have taken action. Will you join them? https://action.goodlawproject.org/stop-sex-matters-infiltrating-the-council-of-europe

Hello independent bookshops! I’m looking for a partner to host - online & late February or March - an event with me & the talented young poet from Rafah, Amera Atiyya, whose first book was published last year. Part launch, part discussion between Amera and me and any input from you that you’d like!

Conversion therapy is abuse, and thus those practicing it are abusers.

Disgusting behaviour from a male MP.

Seems like when I posted this on Bluesky web, it didn’t come through on my Skeets app… so here it is again… #Charity #AmEditing #NGO

Scholarly writers, check out this webinar. It sounds really helpful. It's today, open to the public, and free.

Oh look, a #LinkedIn post from me ... #Charity #AmEditing #NGO #NotForProfit @charitycomms.bsky.social

We’re nothing without the T. It’s LGBTQIA+. No debates. Anything else isn’t feminism or protection. It’s just hate trying to dress itself up.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Over and over again, Keir Starmer has given Trump what he wants, in order to avoid US tariffs. Now Trump wants to annex Greenland – and he's putting tariffs on the UK for opposing it. The UK can't keep giving in to tariff threats. It's time for Europe to come together to take Trump on.

The UK needs to stop pandering to the US and the rantings of a man-baby. The UK needs to dramatically reduce trade with the US and dramatically increase trade with other countries. We should not give in to bullying from the US.

This is an account set up by @natacha.bsky.social to facilitate setting up a new group. I regard the existing EHRC as not independent and consequently not legitimate. So I am looking to recruit members of an independent EHRC who can fulfill its functions with genuine integrity and… 1/4

The crowd watching the ice dancing in Sheffield are lovely - the skater from Lithuania fell over 3 times, an they’ve been so encouraging with their applause.

@greenparty.org.uk You got my name right first, but my name isn’t [name].

If I want to see screenshots from the hellhole of X, then I’d be on the hellhole of X. I don’t want to see screenshots from the hellhole of X!

Have to agree!

Ok. I’m watching the ice dancing from Sheffield. I knew it was camp, but this is *camp*. So much Ricky Martin, Vogue, and now there’s a Spice Girls medley, and the Finnish male skater is giving queen vibes. #IceDancing #FigureSkating

Well, I managed to get out for some #NordicWalking again! And did that while the car was charging too! #EV

*speechless*

To be honest, I’d love to know how the boss of South East Water, his £400k salary and his £150k bonus can sleep at night. #FatCats #NotWorthTheMoney

There’s nothing extreme about wanting a functioning NHS, a fair distribution of wealth, and a liveable planet.

Thank you for this @zackpolanski.bsky.social. My almost 80-year old mum, and two other vulnerable neighbours (in their 70s and 90s) have had no deliveries of water despite being on the ‘priority list’; although they haven’t been left for days, it’s still unacceptable.

Anne was built by people who understand the system because they’ve lived it. Our team includes trans and non-binary people, parents, and families who know the delays firsthand. Lived experience shapes every decision we make. #AskAnne

How many failed Tory MPs does it take to make a Reform party? #UKPol

Looks like we’re getting a new/old political party: The Reformatives. #UKPol #Reformatives

Oh my goodness, Jenrick’s speech, and now looking adoringly at ole Nige, is an absolute FARCE. What in the actual hell is British politics becoming? It’s drama after drama, power-hungry bigots who are only looking out for themselves.

We have launched a survey to understand how LGBTQIA+ people and organisations in civil society are being affected by legal and regulatory changes on the definition of ‘sex’ and ‘gender’. Click the link to complete the survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
