You're doing better than you think you are ;
🧵The true legacy of the Norse people and Yorkshire lies not in battlefields, but in how Yorkshire speaks, lives and remembers its past. Everyday dialect words like bairn (child), beck (stream), gill (ravine), and ginnel (alleyway) derive directly from Old Norse, while street names
School summer hols are a long stretch for some families, just saying. #LUFC ⬇️🙏🏽
LUFC Trust@lufctrust.com · 4d agoFirst home game of the new season on Sunday, so that means LUFCFoodbank is back collecting from 12pm opposite the 🧀. QR code takes you to the online donation platform if you would like to donate. #leedsbringmore
First attempt in 7+ months at an overnight away from home. Possibly - we don't know - her first beach? Tomorrow.... Filey! 🤞🏽
A 46% increase in reports of homophobia in football, along with the other forms of abuse and discrimination. Plus of course all of the incidents which go unreported (because it's 'just banter', or 'just how it is'). If you see it, call it out; report it. #LUFC www.kickitout.org/news-media/k...

Just a reminder of what football can & should do to help bring folk together 😉 👏👏 #lufc and everyone who organised & took part today to make us all proud of Leeds, of who we are & to celebrate our differences👍

My last @leedsrefugeeforum.bsky.social beginners' English class before September: easy session, revision quiz fun. Lovely Somali lady *who has been there all year* answered the question 'Write the names of the four UK countries' with... Orange Strawberry Banana Lemon I'll do better next year 🤣
About this time last night, this happened above our back garden in Leeds. I've seen rainbows. I've seen moonbows. Never seen this in my life: just hanging in the high, light cloud. And the arc of a rainbow inverted like a smile. What...? How...?
Just one week off, and I'm *really* looking forward to this year's #LeedsPride. Proud to see this lovely bunch playing such a prominent role; proud of #LUFC and their genuine *active* work on inclusion; proud of my city. Bring it on! 🏳️🌈✊🏾🦉🏳️⚧️
Marching Out Together@marchingout.bsky.social · 2mo agoNext weekend 18/19 July is #LeedsPride, and we have *lots* on.... Too much to fit into one post, so here's where you'll find us. LGBT+, allies, curious or unsure... come say hello, we are a friendly bunch and we'd love to meet you. 1/5 ⬇️ #LUFC 🏳️🌈⚽️🏳️⚧️
Down at my local for the game. Nice scarf below the screen. Shame about the mug on it 🙄 @marchingout.bsky.social
Regional Alliance x FVH x Football Pride 🤝 Stronger together 🏳️🌈💪🏳️⚧️ Tony Powell’s story is an important and moving one - a Norwich City player who slipped out of the British game in the early 80s and into a life where he could finally breathe.
I trust the people of Clacton to judge me on my record. Apart from the record that shows I have visited American more times than Clacton, have never held a constituency surgery and rarely bother to drag my arse into Parliament to do my actual job.
I'm really proud of @marchingout.bsky.social being invited to lead #LeedsPride along with the club: literally marching together. And I am especially pleased that the morons with the abusive chants will see it. See that it's *them* who don't belong. All Leeds, aren't we ✊🏽🏳️🌈⚽️🏳️⚧️
Marching Out Together@marchingout.bsky.social · 2mo agoIn exactly two weeks time we will be marching out at #LeedsPride. 💛 Proudly leading at the front of the parade. 🤍 Together with Jermaine Beckford, Tony Dorigo, Noel Whelan, Bridie Hannon and #LUFC staff. 💙 Just 14 sleeps, can't wait! #LUFC 🏳️🌈⚽️🏳️⚧️ #ALAW
Wondered what he'd been up to after the Police. Oh, er,...hang on 🤔
Julian Power 🖋️📖@julianrwpower.bsky.social · 2mo agoI’m glad these old pop stars are finding ways to stay relevant, by fighting crime…
🌈🤝 The Regional Alliance of LGBTQ+ Football Supporters’ Groups is growing! A warm welcome to Rainbow Rovers and Rainbow Reds to the alliance, as we continue working together across Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire to champion LGBTQ+ inclusion and visibility in football. ⚽️ #lufc 1/4
Aerial PARTIAL view of the anti racist, anti fascist crowd in Belfast right now. City Hall to the left for scale. This - this is the real Belfast. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
This is potentially an important step; I really hope #LUFC make a big statement & follow through with action. We need this out of the game, out of my club. And if that means some morons need to get out, then good riddance. 👋🏾 Proud too of all the work by my friends at @marchingout.bsky.social
Today's view. Not the best game, but good to be there for it. 😊🥳✊🏽
John T Leeds@johntleeds.bsky.social · 3mo agoA bit of West Stand tourism for me today. Looking forward to this, and not missing the tension/fear of having anything hanging on the result. Not. One. Bit.

The only way things will change is if we call out discrimination if we see it To report any incidents during visits to Elland Road, text LEEDS along with any relevant information around the incident, your name and ticket details to 60006 as soon as you can @proudseagulls.bsky.social #bhafc #lufc
Marching Out Together@marchingout.bsky.social · 3mo agoSharing this with hope rather than expectation, but we'll keep trying... 🙏🏽 Let's make Sunday's last home match of this fantastic season a big celebration. For *everyone*. #LUFC 🏳️🌈⚽️🏳️⚧️ #ALAW www.leedsunited.com/en/news/leed...
The first of our two Premier League Cockney Eliminator matches tonight. I'll be watching in the pub with my @marchingout.bsky.social friends and it's going to be strangely stress-free... but I really hope the proper #LUFC turn up and make them go to the wire...😁✊🏽
Our Statty Stephanie has been looking at all things Spurs away This is Leeds' 48th visit to Spurs in the league Previous 47 W 9 D 12 L 26 gf 55 ga 86 Best win 4-1 1959/60 Worst defeats 1-5 1933/34 & 1956/57 No Leeds player has scored a hat trick at Spurs #lufc
Some numbskull on the radio, banging on about Spurs desperately needing the "w" tonight, cleverly abbreviating the monosyllabic "win" to three syllables, thus saving valuable time.
