I had no idea what drowning looks like
Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Important information for anyone who travels or who simply likes Tesco meal deals
Back in the Twitter glory days I had a long-running thread where I was attempting to taste and rate every single sandwich available on the Tesco meal deal. Sadly Elon had to come along and ruin that, so I'm left with no other choice: I'm starting again. On here. Let's go ...

Excellent.
Along with a man and a woman who are trans, and someone who is intersex, we are suing the EHRC and the Equalities Minister in respect of the disgraceful and unlawful EHRC guidance.

In line with our transparency principles we are publishing the full 32 page legal letter. goodlaw.social/2ihj
We're bringing a legal challenge to the EHRC’s ‘Interim Update’
A number of trans and intersex individuals have today begun a legal challenge to the EHRC’s ‘Interim Update’ following the For Women, Scotland decision

Important thread on implications of UK Supreme Court judgement. We only have to look at the US to see the path we are on. Given the weight of the establishment behind this direction, having any influence on changing the path feels overwhelmingly hard :(
🧵 The recent miscarriage of justice in the UK Supreme Court, where it created a class of people with fewer human rights than others, has led to two key developments. It has created an intersectional backlash against systemic transphobia in the political class, as well as embolden transphobes. [1]

Brilliant story. Just don't read it in a quiet public place.
For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today....

This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

@benlake.bsky.social please sign this motion, in the face of the current gov's overt discrimination towards and marginalisation of Trans+ people, it's more important than ever to show love and support to them.
The bare minimum that MPs can do is acknowledge that Trans+ people are not a trend and we have been around for millennia. This Early Day Motion for @transhistoryweek.bsky.social gives us a foundation to build engagement from.

Ask your MP to sign the motion.

Tag your MP on Bluesky

Let's do a roundup of all the letters from different professional sectors objecting to the supreme court ruling & the EHRC's bathroom ban, and promising to defend trans people in their spaces!

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail.

This.
You've put so well. Thank you
Surely the question isn’t simply ‘What is a woman?’… it’s more ’Why has any ability to live and let live been lost if no one is being (disproportionately) threatened or harmed?’

Miscreants and predators don’t come in transgender form… they come in people form.

This is a great thread. For the last 3 years I've been trying to grow my own veg. I had no idea just how HARD it is. Too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, the slugs, mice, bugs, mould, blight, endless work...
1. This is a thread about Horticultural Extrapolation. Not something you're likely to have thought about, but it's time some people did.
What is it? It's projecting the mechanics of fruit and veg growing onto the entire food system. It's surprisingly common, and frequently leads people astray. 🧵

NEW 🧵

The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border.
