I've TWO of these beautiful 'Witch & Hare' original linocuts by my mum, Jo, to give away to my Bluesky followers. The print is from my recently republished book, Help The Witch. All you have to do to enter is repost this story from the book (maybe give it a read too?) www.tom-cox.com/robot-2/

Great. I finally went with a face verification. I am haggard enough to endure swear words.

I want this electro album.

From a marketing perspective - I'm loving the very careful co-ordination of colours, poses, camera perspectives and expressions. The Greens look like an album cover. A video game cover. One that we'd want to play.

Here's to hope! Thanks Vogue! www.vogue.co.uk/article/zohr...

Oh in case my nerdy moots don't know, EA have released a cheap remastered Alpha Centauri. One of very few games that get me into a pure flow state.

I wish I'd known you could sue companies for being misogynistic and mean. 25 something me would have been coining it. Oh. I see. Not real misogyny.

I really appreciated @podsavetheuk.crooked.com using the term 'telegenic'. Photogenic gets overused. Plenty of ordinary looking people do great on camera. It's more about knowing how to work with that media.

A historic win for equality in #Albania! Parliament has passed the Law “On Gender Equality”, keeping protections for sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and withdrawn a proposal to recognise only two genders. A victory for unity, dignity and democracy. 🧵

Oh, be fair. Falkner allowed the DWP to get away with indirectly murdering disabled people.

“That is what makes it so morally bewildering to me that these culture war clowns are supposed to be a bastion of women’s rights. While they try to strip the dignity from a marginalised minority, frontline women’s services are on the verge of collapse.” 👉 archive.ph/ivFo2

You can tell this guy's a fucking idiot for multiple reason but his 'not homemakers, who've been doing this for millennia' really puts the cherry on it. Women staying home and keeping house is a very recent, middle and upper class invention.

Please be true. Release it on Bisexual Awareness Day and give us all free tickets to the screening 😁

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.

I was acting as a union member and concerned employee when I questioned Stan Duncan, well within my legal rights. I don't love pointing to my identity, but the company saying that I was behaving "aggressively" when I was calmly asking questions feels like a clear transphobic dog whistle.

Kicking in the doors of daycares is a great way to turn wine moms into molotov cocktail moms.

Wow, Conde Nast are *really bad* at this.

Let's cut this down. A group of activists who *do not use the pond* are attempting to force other women to adhere to their irrational and unsubstantiated belief system.

Sophie's article is back up with a statement from the ICB. They are lying. They threatened Well BN with closure if they weren't given access to our childs records. Well BN held off for months, trying to stop them.

Like many others, I am disappointed and angry about the decision by @cyclinguk.bsky.social to change the eligibility criteria for Women in Cycling 2025 to exclude trans women. Trans women are women 🏳️‍⚧️ I have requested for my name and face to be removed. www.cyclingweekly.com/news/do-we-n...

The ICB is disingenuous at best to state "we have no intention of closing the GP practice". They made legal threats, in writing, to terminate the contract & close the whole GP practice. This threat was the only reason the GP handed over child data, an act that has already caused substantial harm.

the minutes of the October meeting between WellBN and SussexICB are chilling. Andrew Dodson from the Sussex side just openly saying patients will be “deprescribed,” that they’ll have no choice and won’t be allowed to talk to the team taking their healthcare away

"They know this is likely to cause suicides. They don’t care! We jumped through every hoop for years and we followed what the government asked of us. I’m in Surrey, her doctor is in Brighton, you can imagine what this is doing to us." northwestbylines.co.uk/news/health/...

It's quite odd that "let's regulate utilities and tax the rich" is being classed as 'rebellion'.

It's back 😎 northwestbylines.co.uk/news/health/...

It's objectively fucking insane trying to explain to non Brits that the TERFs in our country are so obsessed that they've even gone after trans inclusive bird watching groups.

I wish Shon was on Bsky.

This is what Morgan McSweeney thinks of you. They take our votes for granted. Labour and McSweeney believe they can be as right wing as possible and still expect your vote. Let’s prove them wrong. Never Vote Labour Again NVLA

INTERVIEWER: Any comment on Zohran Mamdani's victory and what it says about immigrants and trans rights? LABOUR POLITICIAN: (panicking) I've never heard of New York

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

My critical analysis of the anti-trans astroturf group, the LGB Alliance, has just been published in the special edition of the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies. I recommend the whole special edition - it's open access, no pay wall. bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org/article/4/1-...

A boss in my distant past once said to me, “fear is the best motivator.”* It was BS then and it’s BS now. You want the best out of people? Give them HOPE. *I quit a few months after she said this. Within three months of me quitting, the company folded.

Seeing British centrists celebrate what happened in the USA last night and pretending they wouldn't have all been cheering for Cuomo is pretty funny stuff.

The few Labour MPs praising Mamdani are pretty desperately not mentioning his outspoken support for trans rights.

democrats shaking crying vomiting at having to deal w someone with principles and motivations and objectives who people like

@northwestbylines.co.uk Please reinstate Sophie Molly's article. Sussex ICB can't be arsed to even reply to the families they're harming, they're not going to provide a statement

Are they serious? They won't give us a right to reply. They won't even discuss it with us. They fail to turn up to meetings. They state that they will decide our childs care moving forward and will not meet or discuss with him or us.

Do ask any Labour MPs or centrist commentators congratulating Mamdani what they can possibly learn from some of his policies. Like these for instance.

Whatever the original intent, this is to all and purposes what the Equality Act is for now; it first and foremost protects bigots from consequences. (It is *telling* that transphobia is a protected belief but Trotskyism was found to be "not worthy of respect".

Wes. Wes. You are not, by any definition, a progressive. (I literally laughed at this).

Why are socialists all over the world so focused on an election in New York? For the same reason the US spent the 20th century toppling democratically elected socialist leaders. Because ours is an internationalist movement - a victory for one is a victory for all ✊

Two years ago she asked him to stop after he did the exact same thing he did today, and yet he's still using her name for clout.

Well done @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social - this made my morning

Dropkick Murphys "Who'll Stand With Us?" Music Video - YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BRH...

Mamdani is like... Labour back in the day. It's amusing that right wing hysteria has made my very moderate left of centre views a lot cooler in my middle age.

Mubarak @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social A political earthquake has happened, we're going to feel the shockwaves across the world. Get ready to be shaken up!

labour have looked at the mamdani win and the lesson they've learned is 'he uses social media' and not 'he is kind towards immigrants and trans ppl and wants to help the working class instead of corporate donors'.

It just blows my mind how wild political discussion has gone. Mamdani's ideas are, and I mean this, not that radical. Like when I see him hes like, public transport and rent should be affordable and people's human rights shouldn't be challenged and people are FLIPPING OUT.
