Bbc news headline: Marine debris from US found on Isles of Scilly

Bbc news headline: Trump says 'great to be in Scotland', as he lands for four day trip

Two stories caught my eye today:

The first is of American rubbish washing up on the UK’s shores.

The second is about marine plastics.

St Janey Godley (1961-2024), patron saint of trans ppl & Scotland.

It is traditional that locals bearing shields, emblazoned with the Saint’s motto, face off against vampires, vandals & sociopathic narcissists. A tradition that is ongoing.

Petition: Legally enshrine the right of adults to physically transition using NHS services Introduce a law to legally protect the right of those aged 18 and over to transition using NHS services. This should specifically cover physical transition, including hormone treatment and surgery, as...

Okay folks! We’ve a real opportunity here. This petition is at 78,000 (ends 28 July!). With a good push, we can get it over the line.
MPs *don't need to stick to the exact petition topic*. We can brief them to discuss any & ALL issues with trans healthcare.

There are plenty of younger phobes, that's undeniable, but on the whole, they do tend to be older and more socially conservative.

That's not to say that 'all X are Y and all Y are X': that would be too simplistic and we know it's not true, but there is a broad overlap between the two

Tori yn euog o ymddwyn yn dreisgar? Pwy feddyliai?

Interesting comparison

Wales cannot afford this UK nonsense. We're expected to subsidise England to the tune of billions a year (see above, see water, energy, Crossrail...) but ask for a penny of it back and we're 'subsidy junkies'.

How does that work, exactly?

The Independent Pride List 2025: the LGBT+ people making change happen The Independent’s Pride List is back again, celebrating the LGBT+ community’s biggest pioneers over the past 12 months

The Independent put Wes Streeting on their Pride list. Is that some kind of joke? They couldn't even think of 10 LGBT people who weren't actively campaigning against LGBT rights? Unbelievable

Yn bersonol, byddai'n llawer gwell eu gweld yn gwario'r arian ar wella gorsafoedd a gwasanaethau tu hwnt i Gaerdydd a choridor yr M4. Does dim byd o'i le ar orsaf Caerdydd na ellid ei wella trwy ei glanhau

Why is there no peacekeeping force on its way to Gaza? Why is the world not only unwilling to do anything meaningful to stop the genocide but actively encouraging it? Have we really sunk that far?

Public ownership is part of the solution. Stopping the waste by repairing/replacing & maintaining infrastructure is crucial, and paying a fair price for imported water.

Welsh water is syphoned into England for less than it costs Dŵr Cymru to maintain the infrastructure. Colonialism lives

Slappy feet and a raucous squawk. Just what you need

It's a real voteloser to those to whom it matters.

Given the likely demographics, I'd be chasing the queer vote and happy to lose the haters. If we're serious about indy, we must be seen to be serious about including marginalised groups. Most phobes are older and have had their time to shine

I'd definitely struggle to name dinosaurs. I couldn't discuss them for more than a few seconds.

Native wild birds, on the other hand, like the blackbird outside my window or the tawny owls that come through at night, or the pheasant who was crowing earlier, but they're real and alive and here now

He upset a lot of more progressive members by not having the courage to sack Helen Mary for being a raging transphobe.

He's an able politician but I do wonder whether he feels that being gay entitles him not to consider the LBTQI, A and + in rainbow

[9] Some people can be born with the genitalia of both ‘sexes’. Are they male or female? Some can be genetically tested &, despite having given birth to children, be found to be male. Others identify as the opposite sex. As you can see, talking of ‘sex’ with 19th C definitions can be challenging.

Un terfysgwr sy yn y llun/iau uchod, ac mae hwnnw'n gwisgo siwt ac yn cwato tu ôl i'r ffaith ei fod yn wleidydd er mwyn cyflawni ei erchyllterau. Addas iawn ei fod ar ochr dde'r sgrin

Oh look, another Labour council mindlessly imitating the Tories.

When will Wales get a truly leftwing party?

Little people can't afford to fight back. If your income is measured in millions of pounds a minute, you're obviously a wealth creator so no need to bother with tax

Edrych dros iard Rheilffordd Ffestiniog tua mynyddoedd Eryri. Mae'r awyr yn ddulas a'r golau dros y mynydd yn wan ac yn bygwth rhagor o law cyn diwedd y dydd. Gwelir toeon siediau'r rheilffordd, yn gymysgedd o sinc a llechi, a phwff o fwg yn codi o'r to llechi ar ochr chwith y llun. Looking over the Ffestiniog Railway yard towards the mountains of Eryri. The sky is blue-black and the light on the mountain is weak and watery and threatens more reason before the day is out. We look over the tops of the buildings which are roofed with a mixture of slate and corrugated metal ('zinc' or 'tin-roofed') and a puff of smoke can be seen rising from the slate roof on the left

A lot of early Quakers were fine with slavery, some even participated. Quakerism evolves, they knew this. I think they might be surprised but shocked? Only that such hatred had survived

Cuddles and love.

Missing you terribly

Even better would be to abide by our obligations in international law and get rid of them

Oh, it's Abertawe Bro Morgannwg. What a surprise.

I applied to work with them in an office based role but on asking a couple of really uncomplicated questions, I came to the conclusion that they were really not a good or safe employer and pulled out

The incumbent at Llandudoch leads one every year. They might be able to help

Legal in this case just means 'pertaining to the law'. Something permitted by law would be described as lawful
