As the BBC carries anecdotal claims from a disgruntled former BBC staffer that it has a pro trans bias here is *actual* polling about trans people's level of trust in the BBC. (The BBC refused to carry the polling, the first of what it is like to live in Britain as trans, because it is "too weak".)

At the club digging in the crates. One of life's simple pleasures.

This ballroom business. Can anyone honestly imagine Trunk dancing elegantly across the sprung floor, while whatever his wife's name is, moves lithely to his lead, instead of her usual rigid, she's got a broomstick down her trousers kind of way? What will the building will actually be used for?

Is it really a year ago that this bunch of reprobates met up in NYC?

Did I tell you my daughter was married at the weekend? It was so good to spend a few days away from social media, and the government and the agents of hate. I'd forgotten what it was to relax and focus on people who I love. This is me with my sister.

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups. The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Of course if that guy had forced himself on the trans woman he consented to sex with, he would almost certainly have gotten away with it.

My daughters getting hitched on Saturday. I'm not sure whether to go for the conservative trouser suit or channel Lady Stacia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdTF...

There's a film on tv about a runaway train. Luckily Denzil Washington and his young assistant are on another train trying to catch it and stop it before it hits the bend and spills the cargo of deadly chemicals all over town. However they both have reasons not to give a shit... 1/2

Just in case you are curious - and my God you should be - about the dude Wes Streeting and others are handing loads of public data contracts to. 👇

The Telegraph, which campaigned against the exclusion and silencing of "gender-critical" transphobes is now campaigning for the exclusion and silencing of trans people.

Someone in this block is cooking something involving garlic and onions, and my stomach is rumbling.

One of my daughters cats, not sure if this is Lua or Sol, recently arrived from Rio (long story). They are clearly settling into the Scottish autumn.

They do that, don't they? Respond to make it seem it's already a done deal. I'm sure there's plenty of people who haven't signed yet!

A pope who said something I agree with? It's a crazy old world!

Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life”

A girl after my own heart!

The past is such an attractive country!

From the days when people had hope for the future.

Right lets cheer things up. Post a happy tv theme that cheers you up. Or post several... (is there a better opening credit scene in all of Sci-Fi?)

None of us ashes, all of us flames.

Right, let's cheer things up Post a happy TV theme that you like. Or post several!

If the point of the Rapture is to tell people who the unrighteous are, and who are the good people, then I'd say the Rapture has happened.

I'm watching a documentary about Monte Cassino. I've met someone who was there as a child. Her mother, thinking it would be safe, took refuge from the battle there. She told me that her mother was killed by a shrapnel wound to her stomach and bled to death wrapped in a Union Jack.

Punk Rock Rules OK?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't research what drives technological breakthroughs, that leads to financial opportunity and is good for business?

When you get home from work and find that Nervous Norvus record you always wanted waiting on the doormat. At one time America did good things!

Given the way the outcome of the event has been managed, I'd say it was an inside job.

It's gotta be Action Packed! The look I aspired to in my younger days.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has told analysts that people without smart glasses may one day be at a "significant cognitive disadvantage" compared to those who do use the tech'

Hey @safety.bsky.app trans activist @sophiemolly.co.uk has been suspended without a reason. Please reconsider, Sophie has endured more than her fair share of particularly vicious dehumanisation and after nearly 7 years of this every day, it can cause unseen damage. How about a little leeway?

Horst Wessel was used in a similar way following his death.

No matter what happens I’m so glad I got to be trans. I’m so proud that I figured out what was wrong with me and was brave enough to fix it. I’m so grateful I got to share myself with so many amazing people. I’m so blessed I got to look in the mirror and feel love for the person staring back.

Current mood.

In the aftermath of 9/11 I read an article that theorised that Bin Laden's intention was to get America and the Western democracies to destroy themselves in their efforts to make themselves safe. Given the increasing wave of nationalism, I'd say he is succeeding.
