So, last year Louise Marshall sang "Under Pressure" with Roger Taylor; he was... "ok" and she was amazing. Now we're seeing Imelda May doing her very best to paper over Ronnie Wood... #hootenanny

Exactly one year later was the first Transgender Day of Remembrance.

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose.
Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵
