Gonna make you feel old but Kate Bush's magnificent Aerial album is 20 years old today. TWENTY YEARS! i still think of it as her 'new' album. Giving it a birthday spin on this gorgeous 'goldy locks' honey-coloured vinyl.

#CelebrityTraitors has been divine TV. The Faithful have been so collectively rubbish it's hard not to root for the Traitors in tonight's final but I won't be mad at all if Joe Marler, aka my next new husband, comes through in the end. Let's call this collage, erm, 'appreciation'. #ThatBeardThough

"Even". Honestly, is there no end to this poor man's humiliation?

Happy 45th birthday to this beauty! Never For Ever, the third studio album by Kate Bush, released today in 1980. There, don’t that make your feel old?

What an incredible final. I don't think Alcaraz has ever served better. 22, with 6 Grand Slams and the new world number one. What a brilliant tournament this US Open has been. 🏆

It continues to be an absolute treat to watch Venus Williams at 45 years old play some sublime tennis, best part of a decade after most of her contemporaries usually hang up their racquets. She's through to the third round of the US Open women's doubles with Leylah Fernandez. Just utterly joyful.

The other charities were the brilliant @switchboard.bsky.social and @lgbtfdn.bsky.social It’s great to celebrate our achievements but there’s lots of work still to do and important conversations to be had with Government on LGBTQ+ and especially trans equality. Next meetings are urgently needed.

The charity I manage @londonfriend.bsky.social was one of three recognised for 50 years of service last night at a Pride reception in Downing Street. It was great to be joined by some of our longest-serving volunteers and have their work over many years acknowledged. Plus I spoke at *that* lectern!

So ready to see what the next instalment of Sinner v Alcaraz brings us today in the #Wimbledon men’s final. It takes two players to deliver a great match, but I’m Team Carlitos all the way. Vamos!

And now Madonna on #LiveAid I recorded this on our very new VHS recorder and wore the tape out playing it so many times. I was such a huge fan, she was everywhere that year. First time I heard Into The Groove too, still a hell of a tune now.

Watching the BBC 40th anniversary screening of #LiveAid and seeing the full Queen set for the first time since I watched it way back in 1985. It really is magnificent. Was Freddie ever more iconic?

I really enjoyed #PrideInLondon yesterday, in the parade with our lovely @londonfriend.bsky.social team. It felt so nourishing with great support for LGBTQ+ organisations and lots of trans solidarity, so needed right now 🏳️⚧️ A really wonderful day #pride 🏳️🌈❤️🌈

What a great match tonight with Raducanu and Sabalenka. No shock about the winner but it's joyous to see Emma play back at her best. Sabalenka to win the whole thing now please. I absolutely love her. #Wimbledon #Raducanu #Sabalenka

It’s nice to see #Lulu on stage at #Glastonbury with Rod Stewart. She’s wearing a lovely fringed number, presumably in tribute to her fellow 1969 #Eurovision winner Salomé.

I’m in Huddersfield to deliver chemsex training tomorrow. The pub next to
my hotel isn’t on the map as a gay bar but IS flying a rainbow flag so I popped in. They’re doing cocktails raising money for the charity I’m training with, so it would be rude not to really! Cheers! 🍹🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️❤️
