I’m baaaaack! After some time away from this platform, I’m back and will be ramping up my presence here. Because Facebook has begun deleting the pages I run, and I’m sure Nonbinary Menes & More is next. Please share my stuff so I can grow my following here. #nonbinary #lgbtq

I took a day off social media yesterday, so missed all the Thanksgiving posts, so I hope all who can see this and celebrate had a wonderful day.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.

At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.

Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

Hey, so no one is more or less autistic than anyone else. You are either autistic or you’re not.

Different autistic people experience different symptoms of autism to varying degrees. Which is why we say autism is a spectrum.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

I did my 63rd parkrun today. A week ago I didn't know when I would run again. There is a brief explanation why in the post.

Parkrun #63
After nearly two weeks of feeling sorry for myself, I decided today would be a good day to start running again after Maxi Boi dragged me unceremoniously into a tree.

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country.
Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈
