Remember, every single organisation that is banning trans people is complicit in the UK Government's attempted genocide of us.

Remmeber folks; the only 'victims' of Trans Liberation are supporters of the Patriarchy.
So called 'Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminism' is just the Patriarchy repackaging oppressive and hegemonic gender in a bid to keep the system of Patriarchy alive and well. Don't fall for their lies.

So I'm walking through Leighton Buzzard, and I see this stone. I immediately thought it was a Medieval boundary stone (akin to the eponymous 'Wealdstone'), however, I couldn't find records of it anywhere online. I've emailed the county archaeologist, but I'm interested in what people here think...?

Visited my favourite Packhorse Bridge (HER entry number 1021023) near Cray this weekend. It really is something quite special. It's hidden away on an old packhorse route adjacent to the River Wharfe and her cascading waterfalls, crossing Crook Gill as it feeds the Wharfe via its very own waterfall.

I'm sure this has already been said to death, but K-Pop Demon Hunters is a Queer movie right!?
Like the confrontation between Rumi and Celine in particular is undoubtedly so heavily queer coded. Hiding yourself, who you are, covering up for other people, all universal queer experiences.

So funny story, just discovered that both of the wannabe Reform candidates from Bangor who have been spreading some false information about me on FB recently have prior convictions; one for common assault and one for a role in a drug gang...

Every now and then my brain reminds me that Lynn Meskell published a full-on academic paper in 1998 discussing the bisexualisation of ancient Egypt on the silver screen one year *before* 'The Mummy' released in 1999. Talk about having your point proved! Brendan Fraser peer reviewer extraordinaire!

Great result out of Caerphilly yesterday! Huge win for Wales stopping the neo-Nazi Reform party and even better to do so with Lindsay Whittle.
I've known Lindsay years, a staunch advocate for his community and someone who has always offered his personal support to me during difficult times.

Sadly we were beaten 4-1 in the quarter final by eventual silver medalists Poland, with myself losing my encounter against their team Captain and Master rated player UY_Scuti.
Still, pleased with my overall performance at the tournament, especially for a debutant.

Day one complete and we are through to the knock-outs. Was picked for two group stage games, losing my encounter with Belgium but winning what turned out to be a crucial decider match for quarter final qualification against Greece! Time to review all matches ahead of tomorrow 🏴
In some personal news, I'm proud to say I'll be flying the Welsh colours at the European Team Carcassonne Online Championship (ETCOC) this weekend having been selected as a player for Team UK.

As well as the science always being wrong, whenever anyone says stop doing a healthcare because "it causes autism" they are telling you they think autism is a terrible affliction worth making serious medical risks to avoid.
This admission proves only that they are cunts because autism is not bad.

For all of those still saying that we shouldn't celebrate the death of a Nazi... just remember that the rising tide of fascism can't be stemmed with words alone.
It's no bad thing to make Nazi's afraid. Anyone who says otherwise is simply telling you where their (Nazi) allegiance rests...

As of today I'm taking a step back from the PhD, and related work, for the next three months to focus on my mental health.
Since the Supreme Court ruling my mental health has been in rapid decline, and it's simply no longer sustainable for me to go into work and study transphobia as a day job...

That the European Archaeology Association overturned their decision to exclude Israeli institutions from participating in their annual conference, meaning organisations intertwined with Israel's genocide of Palestinians will still be represented at EAA 2025, is appalling.

They call it the "Migrant Debate" because calling it the "Migrant Question" is, currently at least, still a little too on the nose for the tabloid press and far-right leaders - doesn't mean it isn't exactly the same Nazi dogwhistle.
