This is very worrying... I know of people who have been waiting years for surgery. This is devastating news for the trans community in Wales.

Welsh Underground Network@welshundergroundnetwork.cymru · last wk.

Transphobic attacks on the Welsh Gender Service, supported by supposedly reputable media outlets like Nation Cymru, have now bourne fruit: Our sources in the trans community tell us that the Cardiff GIC has begun cancelling scheduled surgeries for trans patients.

Over the past few weeks an attack has been launched on the Welsh Gender Service, spearheaded by right wing politicians but supported by supposedly reputable media outlets like Nation Cymru. Now our sources in the trans community tell us that the Cardiff GIC has begun cancelling scheduled surgeries for trans patients. As far as we know no news outlet has picked up this story yet so we feel a duty to inform our followers.

Everyone talks about the north south divide but look where the south west is on this chart. Devon and Cornwall might look beautiful when you come here on holiday, but our young people are facing massive inequalities. #education #Alevels #devolution

The chances of going to university still depend far too much on where you grew up. Our analysis of UCAS #ResultsDay data shows 43% of 18-year-olds in London have been accepted into university, compared with just 25% in the North East

There are a lot of motivations for these men, including feeling powerful & TikTok income. But I firmly believe it’s also about making women feel constantly under vigilance and anxious - so it is similar in that way to the most oppressive religious regimes.

"in most cases, these videos appear to have been filmed secretly - using Meta smart glasses." Argh for the love of god BAN. THE. PERVERT GLASSES.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

Libraries are transformative. In fact, Farnham Library saved me. Kept me afloat when I was being bullied at South Farnham Middle School in the 1980s. This poem from Whatever You Do, Just Don't is my homage to it...

Matthew Stewart@roguestrands.bsky.social · last yr.

The emotional significance of objects sends ripples through our lives, which is why this is often my final poem when I give a reading. It's taken from my second full collection, Whatever You Don't, Just Don't. If you fancy a signed copy, drop me a DM and I'll sort one out for you...
