A quick reminder during this spell of hot weather in the UK: stay hydrated, use sun cream, take regular binder breaks if you wear one…And most importantly: make the most of the opportunity to give your Blåhaj a wash - they’ll dry quicker and not smell foisty. #trans

The chair of the EHRC, suggested that we should push for a separate “third space”. So, we present....The Trans Loo. It's already made a visit to The Supreme Court in London (no, it isn't an AI pic, it's very much a real toilet). Where will it turn up next?

Weak, duplicitous and cruel Why no queer, or progressive voter can support Starmer tomorrow

jane, you...just wrote an opinion in less than 600 words! Are you feeling alright?

jane...

jane!

Short sharp thing on why Starmer is running out of queer support - and why queer voters should not be voting Labour tomorrow.

Thank you!

Been pretty ill but I'm at Midlands Art Centre to watch Dr Strangelove via National Theatre Live! Big fan of being able to see stuff even when my previous bodily fluids betray me

Ramadhan Kareem everybody! This month a lot of Muslims will be fasting. Some, like me, are medically exempt. So we focus on our religious practice and donate money to feed people 😊 We might disappear to focus on God and our community. But you'll see us in a month for Eid!

Ramadan begins today, a month of fasting, reflection, and spiritual growth for millions around the world, even as many face hardship, conflict, and displacement. Wishing peace, resilience, and hope to those in need, and a blessed Ramadan to all who observe 🙏🏽

Off to see a National Theatre Live screening of The Importance of Being Earnest tonight at Midlands Art Centre :) I love Oscar Wilde and live screenings like this are more accessible to me with my arthritis. Much easier to get to a cinema than a big London theatre!

Happy Valentine's Day to all my fellow queers of colour and faith. Today's just a corporate holiday anyway but I love y'all and thank you for being here 🌈

kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

This is a beautiful tribute.

A book cover with two light pink cut outs of a brain, one on top and the other flipped upside-down, with a bright red background and the title "HOOKER MENTALITY" over the top brain in the same red colour as the background with "BY JACK PARKER" below it in the second brain cut-out.

Tired of leftist theory that degrades sex workers, misunderstands the nature of our work, or ignores us altogether? Hooker Mentality covers hookers' insights into the systems which control us all, revealing why so many of us become radically left-wing after we start selling sex.

You don't have to read the Vulture piece on Gaiman. Not to be able to engage in the discourse. Not to "honor" the experiences of his victims. You, a person without the power to effect meaningful justice against this abuser, do not need to apologize for being unable to do so by traumatizing yourself.

Did you know that Duolingo lets you learn Klingon but not Urdu? The 10th most widely spoken language in the world?

I’m thankful for everyone who’s been gentle with me, who’s supported me through these many difficult years, who’s been a friend, who’s been gracious and caring, who’s helped me have hope for living a safe and authentic life.
