Good morning, a collage full of nature, colour and texture for you today. 16 little photo snippets taken from a variety of my embroideries. I hope it brightens your timeline. 😉🪡🌿🌺🪻 #embroidery #thesewingsongbird
It seems worth mentioning that Beira’s Place is not actually a rape crisis centre, but a support service, and the rape crisis centre that has actually been attacked in recent years is Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, following a harassment campaign led by JK Rowling.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 4w agoUsually, if something is deeply damaging and defamatory to an organization you founded, you wouldn't say you want everyone to read it. Rowling is someone who is confident the system will back her regardless of how she undermines her own organizations legal position because of her wealth.
Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley
The shamelessness of a political party which is led by a man who just weeks ago called for "pure cold rage" on the streets, shortly before migrants were literally burnt out of their homes, now accusing their opponents of "stochastic terrorism" against them, is quite something
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
Apparently Dr Mary Ann Stephenson, head of the EHRC was 'shocked' in a meeting with Unison when presented, by a trans rep, with 600 examples of documented harm (supplied by members) resulting from the UK's anti-trans policies. Has offered to work with the Union, although not clear what that means
Stop billionaires distorting our politics. It’s critical that MPs vote for @stellacreasy.bsky.social’s amendment to the Elections Bill next Tuesday capping individual donations to £100k. @andyburnham.bsky.social said he supported a donations cap. Tag & email your MP: bsky.app/profile/pete...
Peter Geoghegan@petergeoghegan.bsky.social · last mo.Britain has no cap on political donations. None. @stellacreasy.bsky.social has proposed capping them at £100,000. MPs - and everyone else - should back it when the Elections Bill returns to Parliament next week. New by me on Democracy for Sale: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/how-to-sto...
The ultimate bad faith argument from Brexiters. They claimed that Brexit would be a net benefit. It turned out to be a net cost to the UK, with no significant mitigating benefits. The fact that the failed project they promoted isn’t responsible for every other bad thing that happened is no defence.
In other news, DomCums wants to nuke the British state in 2029
Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting
It’s very telling that Somali referee Omar Artan was held and questioned for 11 hours before being denied entry to the US while alleged serial rapist Thomas Partey is waved through. What a deeply corrupt, sports-washing, fascist-enabling sham of a sporting competition this World Cup is.
In accordance with ancient tradition, our next Prime Minister is announced to the nation while standing between a furry and a man with a bin on his head.
By 2018, analysts found hundreds of Kremlin-tied accounts tweeting "prolifically in Robinson's defence." He's appeared on RT again and again. Russia's Foreign Ministry put out a statement defending him and the state video agency Ruptly hosts 78 videos of him.
The headline should be "AI lies about image of US atrocity".
i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”
This is really sad. I just feel so despairing about this and the fact that this profound failure won't be recognised as such by most politicians.
Jordan@jordanpfot.bsky.social · 6mo agoSusan Smith of For Women Scotland is quoted in this piece saying that Dr Upton leaving the NHS will be "a relief to female patients." The employment tribunal found that Upton had done nothing wrong! She was completely innocent of any kind of harassment! www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/1592555...
15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage. I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong. Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole. Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you... (Photos AP)
Really getting a kick out of watching the skeleton at the winter Olympics. Just a bunch of people going way too fast around a runway like a human marble run.
a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500
One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.
Toby Buckle@polphilpod.bsky.social · 6mo agoa clinic that provided services to 12,000 people being closed on the basis of 8 complaints perfectly captures the nature of the uk 'trans-debate' www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...
Happy #FridaytheThirteenth ! The only official and accurate picture of the Friday Thirteenth Jinx. ( #PhantomsFriday for good measure.)
This morning we will hear the result of the judicial review of the government's ban on Palestine Action, on the grounds that it's a "terrorist" organisation. An important moment, which could have a major influence on freedom of speech and association in this country.
Worth noting that in their continued "unbiased" reporting (sarcasm) the BBC doesn't cover how the Cass Review has been repeatedly discredited by peer reviewed studies, that suicide rates among trans young people have increased or, not a small matter, QUOTES A SINGLE TRANS OR NON-BINARY INDIVIDUAL.
I dreamt the other night that York was invaded by Russia and our only defense was a small company of viking reenactors, and I think this might be a sign that I'm taking in too much geopolitical news.
