Whoever they are, we have to believe that they were bullied in High School. That's it. That's the one condition for being believable in an X-Men movie IMO. You can be hot now, but we still have to believe you were a weird kid who got bullied for it.

The cover of ALIENATION, James Reid's Rectorial Address at the University of Glasgow in 1972. The cover shows two black-and-white photos quartered together by a saltire cross. The left and right sections show a view of a quadrangle at the University; the top and bottom quadrants show a view of cranes and a line of shipyard workers respectively.

“A rat race is for rats. We’re not rats. We’re human beings.”

James Reid, elected Rector of @uofglasgow.bsky.social in 1971, gave his rectorial address #OTD, 28 April, 1972. The @nytimes.com called it the greatest speech since the Gettysburg Address. Read it online at

The Mail, Telegraph, Times and Guardian/Observer published 1,079 articles attacking trans people over the course of 365 days, April to April. They printed 79 the week of the court ruling.

This is the level they've been at for some time.

list of priority targets and  other targets, including priorities: Chevron, Caltex, Texaco, intel, Dell, HP, Carrefour, AXA, Disney+, Siemens, Remax, Sodastream

if you're planning to watch this season of #Andor, important reminder that Disney+ is on the BDS priority target list and you SHOULD NOT purchase a Disney+ subscription in order to watch!

BDS is a Palestinian-led movement and TARGETED boycott—the meaningfully effective kind. don't buy Disney+!

S07E04 - The Music of the Muppets Kirk pays a visit the musical world of The Muppets, from their Sesame Street origins in the 60s to the globe-hopping, cinematic heights of the 70s and 80s, with plenty of detours along the way. FEATUR...

The newest Strong Songs is all about the music of the Muppets, with a visit to Sesame Street along the way. 🎶

Rainbow Connection, Mah Na Mah Na, Pinball Number Count, the Sesame Street theme, and more. It was an incredibly fun episode to make, and I hope you like it!

A Palestine flag and a placard reading "D*kes for Trans Inclusion", both held up by demonstrators on a street in central London.

No transphobic court ruling, no bigot in charge of NHS, no billionaire media can indefinitely hold back the fierce tides of love and joy and courage that is queer community and solidarity. These are the desperate gasps of a dying era, one we will survive.

Love & solidarity, today and every day 🏳️‍⚧️

If anyone in or around Aberdeen tonight wants to come celebrate queer language and people existing outside of definitions we didn’t choose for ourselves or our lives, well, you know where to find us.

We'd urge people not to panic - there will be lots of commentary coming out quickly that is likely to deliberately overstate the impact that this decision is going to have on all trans people's lives. We'll say more as soon as we're able to. Please look out for yourselves and each other today 💗🏳️‍⚧️

@kirkhamilton.com was there a book on harmony you were recommending, either on Triple Click or Strong Songs? I feel like it had a long title ending in something like '...and the birth of harmony'. Apologies if I've totally made this up 🤦‍♀️
