Petition: Ban all supermarkets from throwing away edible food & require their donation

108,000 signatures from cis women has been reached. These are women who say that trans people are no threat to them! With the EHRC guidelines about to be implemented, their voices are now more important than ever! If you agree with them, and have not already signed, please do👇 Notinourname.org.uk

The latest from team “protect women and children” - queer children should not have ways to protect themselves and hide their identities from potentially abusive parents or guardians. Personally, I’d say that suggests a lot about what kind of parents these bigots would be, but that’s just me.

Cis allies, ratio the absolute shit out of this please. All of you.

There's lots of dumb people. So let me explain. Forest fires start all the time. But Climate Change has made the weather hotter and drier so the fires spread faster and are much harder to put out. So ends today's lesson on the obvious.

Many people outside the UK have been asking me who Rod Liddle was. Here's Stewart Lee (from 08:53 onwards) on the man described by Fraser Nelson (former editor of The Spectator) as 'the greatest satirist since Swift.' Let this be the last word on the subject. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFt3...

It's always interesting how "liberal" or "leftwing" spaces (whether perceived or actual) have to "stop being a bubble", but no one asks the same of Truth Social or any of the other rightwing spaces.

Plaid Cymru is investing in Welsh-language care - making a world of difference to patients By supporting more healthcare professionals to speak Welsh, it'll help patients feel more comfortable, support their dignity, and make it easier for them to express themselves ❤️‍🩹

I don't want to add to any ratios here, but there have been a few incidences of 'I am deeply saddened and shocked at the reaction to the death of [X very nefarious journalist and proven abuser]' Yes, that's kind of the point. These responses act as a warning and deterrent against abusing your power.

Once again for those at the back: ‘Don’t speak ill of the dead’ is about your great aunt Elsie, who liked a long gin with a short tonic at elevenses, and blew your inheritance money betting on the horses. Speaking ill of absolute monsters is a moral obligation, actually.

Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x

Very obliging of #r4today to lead with Reform’s ‘plan’ to stop the boats using the Royal Navy, pretending it’ll be some great WWII-style escapade, rather than a hateful, costly, diplomatically incontinent mess. A total waste of everyone’s time as they’ll never be in power and it’s unworkable anyway.

Median UK voter in 2026, as predicted by Hugh Laurie some decades ago:

The UK is rushing towards food shortages. July had 8% expected rainfall. Our social care system is in pieces and hospitals are on their knees. What is Andy Burnham choosing to talk about today you might ask? Ahh, yes, he is choosing to continue the obsessive and deranged fixation on small boats.

Please share with all women (yes it affects cis women too) and trans + people. goodweeplace.com

Your uber is here.

Devolution in England is insane; the Senedd election this year, with a sliver of media attention, got 51.6% turnout.

Ash@queerash.bsky.social · 6d ago

it's an interesting contradiction of devolving power to local people when it's a pretty consistent finding that they don't really care about exercising that power

Please DO NOT VISIT the website for the time being. We are trying to figure out the root cause of this and resolve it at present.

@whatthetrans.com Hey, your website appears to be overlaying a fake captcha which will try to install malware, attached is a screenshot of it. Hopefully it can be sorted your end :) Obviously do not follow the instructions you see in the dialog box!

What Roisin Murphy, Rowling & Linehan fail to understand about the LGBT+ community is that it partly exists to protect folks who are not heteronormative against bigots just like them. And if you come for one of us, you come for us all. The more they attack, the stronger we grow.

Tapping the sign.

Genuine question - have we not collectively agreed that unsolicited advice is rude and irritating behaviour? Is that not an established fact now?

There's lots of dumb people. So let me explain. Forest fires start all the time. But Climate Change has made the weather hotter and drier so the fires spread faster and are much harder to put out. So ends today's lesson on the obvious.

It's capitalism. It's always capitalism.

Hey @dailymail.co.uk we fixed your newspapers for you 💋 Lord Rothermere who owns the Daily Mail pays NO TAX in the UK. The rest of us fund public services, he CHOSES not to. Yet we’re supposed to believe problems in the NHS are migrants’ fault? The utter cheek.

Oddie AND Zippy*? That's not fair. Protect Matthew Corbett at all costs. *Puppeteer Ronnie Le Drew

Oh no! Vale Ronnie

Sad too to hear today of the death of puppet master Ronnie Le Drew. Long time operator of Zippy for 'Rainbow'.

Jimmy Savile jokes aside, all she's achieved here is proved how completely fucking made up her grievances are because if British Muslims were all the fanaticist sleeper cell turbowahhabists she has invented on xanax, then they'd have beaten her to death with rolled up prayer mats there and then.

Esheru@esherukweku.bsky.social · last wk.

Far-right agitator Kellie-Jay Keen deliberately disrupting two Muslim men, as they prayed in a corner of Hyde Park. When government, politicians, media and pundits stay silent about this, they’re condoning it. As this would never be allowed, had these been Jewish worshippers

I see Morrisey's name coming up again. Robert Smith said "I went to a party and Morrisey was there, so I punched him on the arm and he started crying". Be more Robert Smith.

Oradea Pride has been banned today. The mayor says “public morality” is behind the decision. If you believe everyone has the right to gather and protest peacefully, sign our open letter calling on the European Commission to protect Pride and protect democracy. https://bit.ly/4pfQqcu

Transphobes trying to argue that language is innate proof of their concepts is no different than when pitiful manosphere types argue men are superior because "It's hu-MANs" or evangelicals pretend its a sign from god as they go "priDE MONth". Pathetic straw clutching. 2nd hand embarassment.

Dr Attercop@drattercop.bsky.social · 2w ago

The GCs remove the space from "trans woman" because they think this shows that it is like "jellyfish": a compound noun that is not a kind of fish. But blackbirds are birds and red pandas are not pandas. English grammar is not going to do their transphobia for them.
