“Shame on you” chant the anti fascist counter protesters trying to prevent a group of far right, racist anti migrant bullies from getting to what they think is an asylum hotel whilst Avon & Somerset Police attempt to ‘facilitate’ the march.

Many many more of us than you.

Try to take a photo of the dog, only get his butt poking out of a bush.
Try to photograph the canal, get photobombed.

Also ooo Heron!

Appreciating the work of the Canal & River Trust, looking after our precious waterways (who were out working today)

Thank you Green Women’s Declaration for the enthusiastic encouragement to RON me!

My response?

Trans Right are human rights. An attack on trans rights are an attack on women’s rights, on lesbian rights, on queer rights, on feminism. 🏳️‍⚧️💪

🏳️‍⚧️ I’m standing, not just as a candidate for DEPUTY LEADER—but as a member of the trans and non-binary community who’s had enough. 😤
Enough of our conferences have been hijacked by a loud minority of anti-trans activists.

This is sabotage and it’s time we did something about it…

For too long GPEX have played it safe.

💪 I want to give local parties the trust and material backing they deserve.

I am not running for Deputy Leader to play nice.
I’m running to shake the foundations of how we organise and how we win.

Huge thanks to @mayorslayer.bsky.social for her support

🔥 The political system is broken—and people are DONE with empty words.

The Green Party must lead with inclusion, integrity, and real impact.

That’s why I’m running for Deputy Leader.

It’s time to fight for the future. Let’s make change happen!

To celebrate Jane Austin’s 250th birthday, I attended Pride Not Prejudice at the Pump Rooms last night.
Brilliant show, with brilliant performers, with powerful inclusive intersectional messages

Waiting for the delivery of a new freezer was very successful. Re stained and varnished worktop in the kitchen. Whilst also doing a bunch of meetings.

I’m valuing this sight, it won’t be this clear again for some time

No stickers for bravery so here’s my post Covid & Flu vaccination selfie.
I got mine at Redcliffe Pharmacy and she was so gentle that I didn’t feel a thing
(Sure I will by tomorrow!)

It is great to see Cary Grant being honoured with a second blue plaque in Bristol

It’s important that we continue to celebrate working class Bristolians. This plaque serves as a reminder of the brilliance that comes from our city and inspires future generations to pursue their creative passions
