Amazing fish and chips at the Dutch Bargain brewery tap yesterday. Not quite my usual Whale size but delicious cod with ultra crispy batter.

Cis allies: it's our duty to make transphobia socially unacceptable and we have the power to do so. Speak up, call it out, boot it out of your business, and if you have a transphobic friend, now is the time for that friendship to end.
not to invalidate my trans siblings but, personally, cis allies loudly declaring support for us right now does help keep despair at bay even if it changes nothing. I don’t care how you phrase it, how clumsy. Please be there for/with us, loudly. It fights the voices that scream everyone hates us.

If you are confused about what's been happening over the past few days. Here it is in the simplest terms possible:
-There was a UK Supreme Court ruling.
-It terrified a minority and stripped rights from them.
-A group that hates that minority, funded by a billionaire, is celebrating.
That's it.

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

British cis women: please will you consider writing to your MP?
It’s important that cis women in particular are seen to be angry about the repercussions of the SC ruling.
There’s a lot of distress including suicidality on my timeline and in my DMs from the trans community.
Thank you 🙏🏻

Good bucket of cold water from @lewisgoodall.com on impact of #TrumpTariffs on UK; modest gain, or rather smaller loss, from 10% less tariffs than the EU will no way outweigh the massive losses to the UK from Brexit itself nor harm to the world economy from Trump open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...
No, Britain has not escaped lightly from Trump's tariffs
And it is not a very convincing vindication of Brexit.
