To a hammer everything looks like a nail etc, but I do think that gender is the first and primary hierarchical division of human beings, and that much of the passion of the transphobic project comes from transphobes (correctly) assessing trans people’s threat to all other hierarchies.

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

The english national team once again face up to their perennial dilemma: a) appoint an ipswich manager, or b) fail

always feels slightly odd that spain only have 1 world cup - same number as ipswich

My parents summed up in their mug cupboard

"on loan at portsmouth from santos". great stuff

Stan Wawrinka, Serena Williams or the Ivory Coast? The dilemmas that this time of year throws up...

the bbc's pre-match coverage tonight is very deacon blue heavy - and i'm absolutely here for it

good luck to Gary O'Neil - and may the lord have mercy on your soul #itfc

Town Confirm O'Neil New Manager #itfc #premierleague #RCSA #ligue1 #wwfc #afcb

the bbc should respond to this rain break in the only appropriate way - "its 2001, rafter ivanisevic, and we join at the start of the fifth"

obviously trying to get in ahead of the big news of the day (ipswich's new manager)

New paper from me, Olli Heath, Humphrey Southall and Paula Aucott, just out in @polstudies.bsky.social: The rise and fall of class voting in Britain, 1885–2024 We link ~140 years of census and election data to map the relationship between class and vote in Britain doi.org/10.1177/0032...

Some (slightly meandering, but hopefully coherent) thoughts about how likely it is that Reform displace the Tories as the main right party in Britain, and how this compares to the Lab/Lib displacement a century ago. Would be interested in any thoughts people have!

What can the 1920s tell us about the 2020s?

Some thoughts on how our current period of (potential) party system transformation resembles a previous one

This week's #itfc blog - on something unforgivable bluewhitenotes.beehiiv.com/p/speechless

Speechless

When your football club just does something unforgivable

bluewhitenotes.beehiiv.com

Ipswich Town is a special football club. They’ve got so many things right over the past five years and beyond. But they got this badly wrong - and now they should apologise. My thoughts ⬇️ #itfc www.eadt.co.uk/sport/259698...

Politics and football don’t mix? Tell that to Ipswich’s players, who are not happy about Farage’s visit. What a mess, and many tough questions still to answer: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Ipswich Town have hard questions to answer after Nigel Farage PR disaster | Nick Ames

Reform’s use of the football club has shocked fans and left the ownership red faced but how did it happen?

theguardian.com

For shame. This club, that I have supported for my entire life, my father, my grandmother, my son, the children of immigrants. For shame.

Statement from Rainbow Tractors, the clubs LGBTQ+ supporters group 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #itfc

Utterly dismayed and ashamed by Ipswich Town Football Club today, what a total insult to our fanbase and community #itfc

“Football club is apolitical” simply doesn’t cut it when that football club has been naive enough to let a political party trample all over it for its own self-advertisement - anybody could have seen what Reform and Farage were going to pull at Ipswich & it appears they were hardly discouraged.

Not an email I expected to have to send to be honest #itfc
