About me:
I don’t do DM’s
Nor am I looking for a relationship
I keep my money for the things I require & desire
Flattery gets you nowhere
Feel free to unfollow me if you can’t stick to my rules
I know how to block & I’m not afraid to do so if you’re disrespectful

Once again @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social find the song & words to remind us of what matters. Community & neighbourliness will always overcome hatred.
We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️

Exactly this!
for me it was the fact that the author is one of the main driving forces behind the global movement to kill my trans friends and erase their existence

hope that helps

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months.

They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state.

The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

Unbelievable.
Yet entirely believable.

… I am going to do something different this time with the Bulletin since the murder of Alex Pretti and aftermath has justifiably dominated the news this weekend, making many of the other news I cover ...

There is a reason that Scots all over the world celebrate Robbie Burns.

By oppression's woes and pains!
By our sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!—
Let us do or die!

I was interviewed by @jamesmcenaney.bsky.social for the Herald this week - we discussed my new article with Dr Cal Horton on trans children's rights, what people need to know, and what can be done to support young people. We also touched on the wider issues facing trans-positive research!

NEW: this is how the US press would report on this if it was happening in a ‘shithole country’. It’s an execution. But it also reveals how weak Trump really is

Anne Frank wrote these words in 1943 while hiding, while families were being pulled apart. She wasn’t describing chaos. She was describing process. Normalized cruelty. Systems doing what systems do when nobody stops them.

This is history as a warning. #DefundICE

Vote every time you can. Even if you don’t think your vote will change anything you are exercising a right. These disappear all too quickly in authoritarian regimes.
To quote @goodlawproject.org we need to take personal responsibility in keeping the far right out of the Scottish parliament. Trump’s little puppet Farage wants to do to us what MAGA is doing to the USA. It can be so simple. We just need a good turn out in May. Make sure you’re registered to vote
People are scared of the spread of fascism, rightly so. We have 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 elections in May and it’s essential to keep Reform out. The far right thrive on apathy and hopelessness.

Good turn out almost always beats them. Register to vote. Why wait? Do it today

Another summary execution on the streets by agents working for the US government.

Unutterably tragic.
Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.

That's the gamble you now have to take with World Cup games in the USA.

What is wrong with these people 😱 What kind of ‘leaders’ approve of these acts. Having said that they also approve of the genocide in Gaza 😱

Trump is taking up too much band width leaving little time and energy to deal with other problems.
The UK needs to refocus its attention back to Europe and the EU. That is where our actual ‘special relationship’ lives.
Rejoin a CU, SM and eventually the EU to safeguard our future.
