I spy some Catalan flags 😏

What's more gay: Glasgow pride or a mango iced matcha and Mystery Box™️ of vegan pastries for £10?

A trans woman was arrested in the UK for posting on Bluesky “I hope she was handcuffed to the bed as she screamed in agony." This was a reference to comments made by Widdecombe when she was prisons minister where she supported the handcuffing of Incarcerated pregnant women giving birth.

England: the same amount of major tournament wins in the last 59 years as Scotland, but with worse tap water

been waiting all tournament to post this

This graphic showing the extraordinary increase in the UK average temperature over the last 65 years tells its own story

Found a gorgeous diva

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

Glasgow green is having a competition on who can play the weirdest sports

Mark Ham wowed the world with this picture. But then someone wowed me even more by pointing out that the moon always has the same phase when it's in a rainbow! (1/2)

Sometimes you’re going to lose in the short term, but - with the EHRC code due to pass on Thursday - I don’t think anyone can say we lost quietly 164 MPs praying against government policy is huge, especially for a motion led by a backbencher, and the labour rebellion is dozens and dozens and dozens

This is why Kate Forbes was unfit to be First Minister and why those who still go out to bad for her are fundamentally awful people. I, as a gay person, have absolutely every right, as do our allies, to decide that your views on *my fundamental humanity, rights and dignity* are of utmost revelance

Baking again: lemon and poppyseed loaf with candied lemon slices for my friend's birthday

Made the mistake of cycling near Glasgow green (marking myself safe from the Orangemen)

Silky calling herself big weegie? As far as I'm concerned this makes her one of us 🫡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Somehow I can hear the kings of leon gig at Bellahouston despite being 3km away in finnieston

Update: the Sandyford Adult Gender Service has extended the deadline for its waiting list validation exercise once again, from 29th June to 20th July. You can find out more information about the exercise on our website here: www.scottishtrans.org/sandyford-va...

Australia’s Federal Court offers a lesson in how courts can read equalities legislation in a way that recognises “sex” is not a term fixed by biology or birth while also challenging the discriminatory effects of gender stereotyping and policing. The UK Supreme Court could learn from this approach. 🏳️‍⚧️

The best analogy to the conversion therapy Bill would be a Bill that banned smacking children "unless the adult believed that the little blighter deserved it."

Everyone's hometown has the ominous megastructure, what's yours?

Tis the season of icy cold showers

I fear dark choc may have been a mistake

This has been the main thought behind my clothing for years now! NO 👏 MORE 👏 BEIGE 👏

Cis medical professionals simply do not think trans patients have a right to privacy. To them, we are zoo exhibits, freak shows, anomalies to debate and deconstruct and never humans who deserve equal participation in conversations about our care. And this is very much the norm, not an aberration.

I have found the one (1) decently functioning AC unit in my work and shan't be moving for the foreseeable

I know there was a reason she's my favourite

Keir Starmer do NOT put your feet up and keep the dildo away you’ve done a terrible job

Note to self: don't run when it's humid like this

They’re calling it the quote on British politics that ended the need for all other quotes

“Ireland’s parliament has voted to remove a mandatory three-day wait for abortion during early pregnancy after campaigners said the rule was an unnecessary restriction.” Excellent news from Ireland. 🇮🇪

@amnesty.org very based: "Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems, based on unlawful web scraping, depend on mass invasions of privacy by design, and are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems."

Oi mate you got a license for that wank

Literally there are conversion therapy manuals that start with isolating your child from all potential sources of safeguarding and supportive information and cutting them off from unmonitored internet access so they can find the number for ChildLine while you're not watching is right up there.

gay pride transforming into gay wrath

Also, this sign at Vienna pride which, honestly, fair.

I am convinced STOP! THAT! TRAIN! partially exists to make people forget the time RuPaul tried to make a pro-trans post but accidentally googled "trains flag" instead of "trans flag"

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

The Scots found the Boston cop slide @everyone @edsbs.bsky.social @brianmfloyd.bsky.social @cjzero.bsky.social

The scenes we saw in Glasgow earlier this week, as racists took to the streets to intimidate and threaten ethnic minority Glaswegians were despicable, and this afternoon we showed a tiny, outnumbered crowd of bigots that we don't want their hatred in our city.

we're in the group chat talking about how awesome you are and how proud we are of everything you've accomplished and how lucky we are to have you in our lives

Do we think they're out for vengeance against Katy Perry?

EDM 240 is now ranked 3 by signatures of all EDMs in the last 5 years. That's over 7000 of them. 6 more MPs needed to take the top spot. C'mon!

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

I've somehow managed to make a stir fry for dinner and it's only after the first bite I realised I forgot fucking noodles

🔥 100 MPs have signed @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social's motion to reject the EHRC Code edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

There's a slight chance I need a new bike chain

“He invited me to spend the day with him at his farm… literally spent five hours chatting with me and got all of the pronoun stuff right every time.” RIP, Anthony Steward Head. Thanks for gifting us such enriching characters (especially Giles!) and for showing compassion to those lucky to know you.
