At the moment, I’m regrettably not on an old-fashioned train traversing the English countryside whilst enjoying tea and crumpets, so no, I’m afraid your email did not “find me well”.

There's always a cartoon by @andy-singer.bsky.social that nails it.

Trans former judge says Supreme Court gender ruling risks lives Victoria McCloud, who is planning on challenging the ruling, was accused of alarmism by campaign group Sex Matters.

Not to put too fine a point on it, the Supreme Court ruling, the EHCR guidance, the government's ramping up of anti-trans policies...people are dying because of them right now. There are trans and non-binary individuals killing themselves because of all of this right now.

Some wonderful looking books here. I LOVED @sarahjlonsdale.bsky.social's 'Wildly Different' - and have already ordered @drmjwarren.bsky.social's 'The Cuckoo's Lea'.

Has anyone read any of the others?

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

It is vital to understand that the RW press scream "Brexit Betrayal!" already. Pretty much every single day.

(I know that for a fact: I check the Express, Sun, Telegraph and Daily Mail daily to learn what sort of political propaganda they're feeding people.)

So not much would change on that front.

On the one hand I would love the immortality that comes with being a vampire, but on the other hand what good is immortality if you can’t have garlic bread?

My awareness is duly raised and I’m appropriately grateful ☺️

Britain’s tariff burden worse than EU British products are subject to higher total US import taxes than those from Continent

Well so much for that “Brexit benefit”.

Really didn’t last long.

In Parliament last week I pressed for the closest possible deal our biggest trading partner, the EU. Youth mobility schemes, linked emissions trading, and stronger energy-climate cooperation will cut red tape for British business, protect jobs, and fuel growth.

An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.

Science you magnificent bastard

Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

And this morning the Shed is lighter than air: a thing blown by the breezes…

Just whow (and yes, it is peer-reviewed research).

How little we understand about the #Biodiversity that we are fast trashing

You won’t get many cats in the audience at that hour! 😼😼😺

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to wear a brown overcoat and solve a mystery in a quaint village in the English countryside whilst sipping tea?

My husband bought me this beautiful rose for my birthday. I love it. It also happens to have the most wonderful name… ‘Tottering-by-Gently’
