As ever I come to the end of #LGBTQplushistorymonth both elated and exhausted! It's a damn privilege to get to share stories of people like me that came before... also I look forward to having a weekend again!

But.
Remember.
Queer history doesn't stop when February ends.

Just got into Manchester for a table read of a new script/film about a male escort and transactional gay/bi relationships. Stories and subjects I'm passionate about!

So many companies gunna be crashing out in two-five years as they realise the weight bearing piece of wood from under the filing cabinet that actually keeps the company in action has been moved and they don't know where it is

The Green victory in Denton is the result which will have the biggest effect on Labour, far more so than a Reform win.

The blithe assumption progressives have nowhere else to go has been proved catastrophically wrong.

Can’t help thinking of this quote from a Labour minister, a year ago…

This piece is called Crown_of_Flaws cos we're all flawed but awesome, and we didn't execute a political prisoner 2000 years ago by our thoughts of actions

I've made this uncomfortable piece with branches that say "intrusive thoughts" to comment on the guilt carried by people brought up with penal substitution and original sin as the prime theology aka. Telling kids they killed Jesus. It's unpleasant and dangerous. (con't)

Growing up in the extremist Christian cult, I was taught as a child that I was personally responsible for Jesus being put to death on the cross and his pain such as the Crown of Thorns. (con't)
