I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

It is a right wing lie but, an iPad is exactly what refugees should be given? A tablet is basic tech and essential for someone who arrives with nothing. Would allow them to track applications, check emails, do research, communicate. You’d have to be a bastard to begrudge a vulnerable person this?
before Rylan's mask slipped, I would have told you the bigots were in the minority. But if he is dumb enough to believe undocumented migrants get an ipad (you want to see the tech they give to people who work for the government!), then Reform have done a better job than we thought

it’s so weird how little resistance my joints have in the heat. I feel like I’m trying to walk on half-set jelly

Hello, I don’t think my teeth issues can wait any longer. I feel like I’m starting to get a fever. My wisdom tooth is pushing against one of my teeth and I’ve just been in pain.

I would be so thankful for any help. 🙇

So, this Unbound/Boundless fiasco. I was going to be polite about it, but after this morning’s email: no

I hope the magpie that likes splashing about in our birdbath knows that I refill the birdbath daily specifically because they enjoy splashing about in it.

Past couple of decades have been exhausting for us. Something really sinister culminated in the pandemic. I'm certain that even disabled people who don't have fatigue conditions are just so fucking tired. Can't think about standing up to Labour on days where I can't stand up to put socks on

I keep reading that as disabled people we need to 'stand up to these cuts' and wanting to laugh because we're disabled but, that's kind of the point isn't it? They're going after people who are least likely to fight, who are already least able to participate in society

These skeins are beautiful AND they’re for a great cause, so you can make a pretty thing and support a community who really needs it while you do.

(Also I’ve made several things from RoY’s yarn now, so I can confirm that their wool is both really pretty and really soft and very nice to wear)
Hey folks, so Republic of Yarnia is doing its part to continue to support the Trans community in creative ways. Last yr we made skeins for the Marsha P Johnson Institute. This yr we have special Trans Solidarity skeins where 25% goes to the Black Trans Coalition Org.

Be creative. 🧶

The antidote to all this overwhelming news, being hit w/ a myriad of policy changes & awful language is to stay calm.

Fascists thrive when we are confused & feel too overwhelmed to do anything.

Have some peacock colored yarn to soothe the soul. 🧶 Re-center, stay focused. ✊🏾

We’ve hit that point near the end of winter/getting to the beginning of spring where the sky just feels higher up, like there’s more space between the ground and the sky. The angle of the light has changed and there’s more space to just *breathe*

More of the approach that's never worked once in political history: screaming "we're racist!" at the far right in the vain hope that people *who despise you* will switch from more racist parties, without your horrified base switching to less racist ones.

Halabeez for your halakeyz!

In all seriousness though, if you’re going to the #Ateez concert today find me! I will give you one! (I have green hair and I’ll be wearing a jumper like Yunho’s in their 4th anniversary video, and hopefully there aren’t too many of us who match that description)

I’ve been trying to learn medieval embroidery methods for a couple of days now and I need you to see this peacock. Namely, that it isn’t one.

The civet cat above it at least COULD be a civet cat.

Do I need to do the thread here about the Vikings and people with disabilities?

Do I need to tell the tale of Ivar the Boneless? Or the seer in the ship burial at Oseberg?

Is that what needs to happen?
People are really proving our whole point about disability representation in fantasy.

Repost if you think people with disabilities belong in fantasy settings.
