ADHD? More like GAY-DHD

Few people understand the scope of the powers UK governments have granted themselves, to criminalise us as terrorists for expressing an opinion. Fewer still understand how illiberal the Court of Appeal judgement is. But @davidallengreen.bsky.social does.🧵 www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Mr visiting the reflecting pool

Did you know I had to describe how I masturbated and what I thought of in order to proceed along the NHS pathway to transition? That was before they wanted to look at my genitals.

if we must use AI, we should be using it to outsource the mundane parts of our work so we can spend more time thinking and being creative; but instead it's increasingly being used to outsource our thinking and creativity so we can do more mundane things

This is not what real change looks like. www.opendemocracy.net/blair-tribut...

I'll just be bimbling about minding my own business when my brain will be like HEY ISN'T IT WEIRD THAT STRANGE AND WEIRD MEAN THE SAME THING BUT STRANGE MEANS UNFAMILIAR AND WEIRD DOESN'T

I've wanted to stay at the Walpole Bay Hotel ever since i first saw it while passing by. It looked like the setting of an Agatha Christie mystery. I finally got to stay last night and it's even better than I hoped.

Hundreds of women came together this week to say “Not In Our Name” at the sold-out launch of the campaign group Women Against the Far Right.

"Where someone has committed criminal damage, that can be dealt with using ordinary criminal law - Rather than using broad and poorly defined anti terrorism powers."

A colleague of mine, who I won't name, brutally characterised the Court of Appeal decision as "glib": no sense of it wrestling with the moral enormity of imprisoning and condemning as terrorists thousands of otherwise law abiding citizens for peacefully holding up a piece of cardboard.

it’s the job of white people to call out racism and white privilege even though it’s going to upset their white friends and family

To prevent "Potential Harm" the NHS is willing to cause Actual Harm. Ideology based evidence making once again triumphs over evidence based policy making, and how many families will be harmed in the process.

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

That 100 years of evidence for transgender healthcare is too experimental to risk, but this is fine shows that it's never been about 'protecting' children; it's always been about forcing children to fit into the 'right' box. Happy, thriving Autistic & Trans people must be prevented at all costs...

Hello. I'm here to say if you enjoy Taylor Swift or Olivia Rodrigo, you should try giving British singer songwriter Girli a go. She just dropped her third album and it's full of her characteristic witty & relatable lyrics and super catchy tunes. She deserves to be better known than she is

After the Knicks game — streamer Finesse Fave asks: “What up Seinfeld… can I get a free Palestine?” Seinfeld: “It doesn’t exist.” Erasing an entire people while Israel commits genocide of Palestinians is diabolical. What a shameful legacy Seinfeld has chosen to embrace.

Every now and then i have a look on threads and

I remember the bombs. I remember walking past burning cars to get to work. I remember the shootings. I remember the fear. I remember the hope everyone felt as we voted for the Good Friday agreement. I remember us believing that future generations wouldn't have to suffer this.

I have to say, listening to the Today programme dedicate an entire (context free) section about whether migrants are more likely to be convicted criminals *the morning after* hundreds of non-migrants of my own ethnicity committed a pogrom is blood boiling.

Neil's uncle Adam took him to a community dog show and yet again, Neil did not win in the Most Handsome category. Unacceptable.

Apparently we're all posting a gif of our first gaming console Am I the oldest so far?

Right wingers love getting the opportunity to pretend to be "anti-racist" because they know deep down that racists are the bad guys and that they are racist. It doesn't need to be taken seriously

Another absolutely incredible #canterburypride #canterbury #pride 2026! If you find or have any pictures with me I'd love to see them!

Just delivered my first bespoke introduction to Allyship and Bystander Intervention workshop for Folkestone Pride and I think it went really well? I get so nervous doing these things but once I get over the imposter syndrome i remember that I'm actually good at this sort of thing.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

The Fire Brigades Union has made a statement on the proposed EHRC Code of Practice on Services. Our message is clear. Equality matters, solidarity is essential, and we will continue to fight for both.

A deeply humbling experience to meet the work experience student and saying how long you've worked in the organisation and they respond "that's longer than I've been alive"

It’s very hard to digest how the explicit antimuslim racism on display in the streets of London on Saturday is passing by with no consequences. Very hard not to feel like we’re regarded as second class citizens and fair game to be sacrificed on the alter of pacifying angry voters. Very hard & scary.

Horrified by the attack on the mosque in San Diego. We live in times of deep political tension. Islamophobic hatred and violence are a reminder of the responsibility on all of us. We need leadership that brings people together, and stands firmly against hatred in all its forms.

The message is clear: Muslims are fair game in this country.

We’ve been lucky to receive high-profile support since we started our campaign, and we know visibility and vocal allyship matters. It doesn’t come much higher than Sandi Toksvig, who’s done so much for women’s equality and inclusion. Thank you 🙏 notinourname.org.uk

Increasingly i am of the belief that polymarket bets will be the cause of the world ending catastrophe

“.. We spotted nine Polymarket accounts .. who made collectively $2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. Military operations. .. “.. Now, here is the crazy part. 98% win rates.” @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/media/news/6...

Please can the mainstream media remember that Streeting has been a close friend of Mandleson He's deeply untrustworthy

"Public ownership is in the public interest" says Starmer. Except on water companies where he will continue to let them dump sewage.

Adder bites infographic. I hope this will be helpful & reassuring if it happens to anyone else.

I have had the phrase "biblically accurate sleep paralysis demon" floating around my head all day and I don't know why

Frankly, Streeting saying this is disturbing and misogynistic. In fact, it further reveals what he actually thinks about women in general, and which has been there for all to see for quite some time. He should not be in charge of the NHS.

80% of arguments start because someone hasn’t eaten yet.

Useful thing to use here

Nigel Farage has been accused by multiple people he grew up with of extreme antisemitic comments and behaviour. Yet he's allowed to present himself as a champion of Jewish people. Meanwhile, our only Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, is smeared - because he opposes genocide.
