I've just spent half a day making this drawing. It was an intense experience - I was drawing from observation outside - and my body hurts now.

A smiling woman with long light brown hair and clear-framed glasses sits at a market stall filled with colourful illustrated prints and greeting cards. She's wearing a light grey sweatshirt featuring a large graphic of a cat. In front of her are neatly displayed prints, including bright floral and postage stamp inspired designs in pastel colours. Behind her, other vendors and visitors are visible in a warmly lit indoor venue with wooden walls and playful paper decorations hanging from the ceiling. The atmosphere is cheerful and creative.

I did a big, scary thing and took part in the Summer Makers Market @fargovillage.bsky.social in Coventry! It was great to be back at it, and I got a real buzz from chatting to everyone who came to visit. Can't wait to do more. ๐Ÿ’Œ

A pile of the same sticker. It features some flowers that symbolise queer identities, pansies at the bottom, lavander in the middle and carnations and roses at the top. The top flowers are broken by white text that reads TRANS SOLIDARITY. The background is also white.

More than ever, trans people need our support. As rights are rolled back and rhetoric hardens, its so important to stand in solidarity. So, obviously, I made a sticker.

On the way home from the hospital today, drove past a brand new giant UFF flag flying, unaccosted from a lampost in east Belfast.

The UFF are a proscribed organisation because they are actual terrorists.

Flags all over NI. They get put up in broad daylight. Nobody gets arrested. Or even warned

He didnโ€™t say that.

He chanted โ€œDeath to the IDFโ€.

If heโ€™d have changed โ€œDeath to the Russian Armyโ€, the Daily Mail wouldnโ€™t have splashed on it, or demanded his arrest.

This rag shows infinitely more rage over a chant than the IDF incinerating thousands of little children.

Indian court rules that trans women are women - LGBTQ Nation "For transgender community, especially trans women, this verdict means a lot," one trans advocate said.

Of course this wonโ€™t make the mainstream news in Britain which is an insular vortex of transphobia.

interesting to see how much more coverage here we're getting of a chant at a music festival than the IDF being ordered to shoot and murder people in Gaza who are seeking aid!

Kneecap at Glastonbury review โ€“ sunkissed good vibes are banished by rap trioโ€™s feral, furious flows From Rod Stewart to Keir Starmer, no one is safe from the Irish groupโ€™s ire, as the weekendโ€™s most talked-about set became a mosh-heavy, provocation-filled melee

โ€˜Behind the furore, the trio are really good at what they do.โ€™ #Glastonbury2025

There is no LGB without the T! This design features flowers that symbolise queer identities. My aim was to highlight how solidarity amongst queer identities is vital in fostering a sense of shared strength, safety, and belonging in the face of systemic discrimination and social marginalisation.

We need your help

We need your help

We are a small grassroots pride with a strong commitment to our ethics, but this means we are unable to approach many of the mainstream sources in order to raise funds to host our events.

We also believe that money shouldnโ€™t be a stumbling block for those who wish to attend pride events and so we always strive to keep our events free entry where possible.

With all that in mind we need your help, Can you spare a few ยฃยฃ to help us run causeway pride this year?

 please donate/share if you can

You might ask how the British can square their multi-week pant-pooping meltdown over Kneecap with their funding these armed terrorist groups who import and sell drugs, run extortion rackets and issue death threats to journalists and non unionist politicians, and who even terrorise schools. #Kneecap

Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | Sally Rooney If Palestine Action becomes a proscribed group, writing these words of support could become a serious offence. Itโ€™s vital we fight this alarming attack on free speech, says writer Sally Rooney

Reminder that there are actual armed & active, white 'homegrown' loyalist proscribed terror groups w/ 12,500 members freely operating in N. Ireland. They are so embedded by UK Gov that they receive state funding, high level Government access and effective immunity from investigation & prosecution.

This is what Westminster and Stormont were warned about by numerous trans activists across the UK and NI.

Trans Healthcare works and this 'proves it', despite the proof we've had access to for decades. What is it going to take for legislators to repeal the ban?
