After this I was two stepping on stage to a Beyoncé song that I’ve never heard before
Don’t let the grassroots arts die or the record will say we are all freaks and terrorists when I know our community is so much greater than they will ever know

My parents aren’t sure about what I do for a living. Neither am I tbh.
The internet was 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁 to be a space where anything was possible and everyone has an equal voice. That feels less and less true - especially on 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 platforms.

The thing is, I get Jeff Bezos. As a monopolist, it's obvious why he wants to get influential media to lobby against deregulation. The people I understand less are the ones he's going to get to shill
for this with like fairly mid salaries. Complete sellouts.

Told one of my regular commissioners “my resilience has limits and I yearn for the quiet life of boring teenagers to sleep talking about physics 😂”
I’m still “around” until September but very much hoping to be able to be less reliant on the gig economy of journalism in the not-so-distant future!

Sorry but there are way more than 14 seats in a carriage on a jubilee line train. This is simply lazy shitposting and if you’re gonna call yourself a journalist you should be stripped of your income until you check your facts
They’re not even hiding it anymore.

For anyone else trying to be better with alt text but could do with a prompt sometimes when in a rush etc…
You can prevent yourself from posting an image UNLESS you have alt text by going to:
Settings -> Display -> ALT Text

Bluesky even has a setting you can enable to prevent yourself from being able to post an image unless you have added alt text - this is really useful, especially if you're still getting into the habit of using alt text. 4/

We love how easy it is to add alt text on Bluesky, but there are still a lot of account sharing images who don't use it as standard. Alternative text helps anyone using assistive technology to understand what is in the image, even if they can't see it, making the post more inclusive. 1/

The UK public vote for Denise to be with Jack and not Ravi shows that this country is with the dogs. In this essay; how a public vote, resulting in the win of a bent white cop over a working class brown man, shows the U.K. is a racist country that values the illusion of authority over desire.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Now is a great time to hire trans people.
Ensuring a trans person has housing, food and clothing at a critical time like this is life-saving work.

The reality is I have to go and host an “LGBT History Month Quiz” this evening and pretend everything is fine despite knowing when I walk to my flat after the gig I’ll hold my breath as I pass his door and my heart will race until the door is bolted behind me
I am not gonna say which council cos I don’t want to dox myself and I am going to try and press them on it. Will I have the time? Probably not.
The far right and their empathisers are everywhere - one even lives right next door to me and there is nothing that can be done about it ✌🏽

This is actually a joke.
My neighbour told my partner he was going to “do in that lil p*ki c*nt”
He lives directly below me (literally and
otherwise)
Reported to the police -> they say report to council
Reported to the council -> council “that doesn’t count as anti-social”
