Will I be playing a load of Spice Girls and Carly Rae Jepsen in the Silent Disco at the biggest independent music festival in the region today? PERHAPS.
Chris Blacksell@chrisblacksell.bsky.social · 4d agoHappy Yorkshire Day If you’re in God’s Country today you could do worse than getting to Humber Street Sesh in #Hull £35 on the gate for 11 hours of music, over 100 bands on 10 stages. The biggest independent music festival in the region & free travel with Hull Trains ❤️ www.humberstreetsesh.co.uk
Worth remembering that this government is subsidising a theme park to the tune of £1.3bn. An amount that would go some way to preserving the intellectual and economic footprint of our universities.
James Woodfield@jameswoodfield.bsky.social · 4d agoAccording to the parliamentary annual report & accounts for the 2025/26 financial year, the cost of subsidising the bars in the House of Commons alone was around £5.8 million. Meanwhile, to save £3 million less than that, Jodrell Bank is being defunded and shut down. share.google/MRHIvCsCsKoc...
“We were wrong to post this report titled A Growing Threat, there is absolutely no threat posed to anyone by these organisations who just launched a lawsuit aimed at bankrupting us for accurately describing their intentions”
So @amnesty.org and @amnestyuk.bsky.social you turned your back on trans people in the U.K., when they needed you the most. You big yourselves up about how you take on governments over their human rights records, but when it comes to one single bigot threatening to take you to court, you fold.

“Look I am quite capable of destroying higher education *and* kicking trans people in the teeth at the same time and I deserve to be allowed to continue”
Becca Harrison@beccaeharrison.bsky.social · 6d agoBridget Phillipson, reflecting on her years spent standing idly by while UK higher education crumbled into the abyss and tens of thousands of university workers implored her to do something, literally anything, to save their jobs: BUT WHAT ABOUT ME THO www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Slavery was legal Apartheid was legal Homosexuality was illegal Women couldn’t vote The law is quite often an ass did our ancestors lay down and say “oh it’s the law”? They did not

Morrissey has always been racist trash, but the big thing to see here is that this attitude was *common* in polite company in the 1980s.
Marcus 🏳️🌈🇧🇧@marcusjdl.bsky.social · 2w agoMy beef with Morrissey runs all the way back to 1986 when he said this about Black artists. Nineteen Eighty Six, while the Smiths were still active. It’s not a “later phenomenon” don’t try and lie to me www.standard.co.uk/culture/musi...
An autistic man with a special interest in the Harry Potter series has made the decision to value the lives and dignity of his trans friends more than a book about a wizard who grows up to be a cop, sources have reported.

Last time I was on Twitter she was sharing transphobic dogwhistles with an account that had ‘proud Nazi’ in its bio.
Not Anyone You Know@slowcrush.bsky.social · 2w agoI see Diana Johnson, a vile transphobe, has been made health minister. Presumably because of her transphobia.
Bollocks. The most hostile, racist and xenophobic Home Secretary for years, and that was a low benchmark, stays in post. So, Burnham still planning on his government promoting Reform then it seems, at least on immigration. That worked well for his predecessor.
