A pint of beer next to an open box of eggs

Everyone else gets eggs when they go to the pub right? (At least the egg delivery wasn't in a vegan pub this time 😂)

Kathryn Joseph and Lomond Campbell on stage

Kathryn Joseph and Lomond Campbell at Sidney & Matilda. Really amazing. (And they obviously have good taste in pubs, though I was too shy to say hello in the Rutland)

View of a path on Blackamoor

Took advantage of the sunny day yesterday to walk the Dore to Grindleford section of the Steel Cotton Rail Trail peakdistrictbytrain.org/the-steel-co...

The utopia strong on stage. More crowd and ceiling than band are visible

Didn't really know what to expect beforehand but I enjoyed The Utopia Strong at Sidney & Matilda tonight (photo even worse than usual as it was in a crowded and slightly pungent basement)

A view across peak district countryside, Carl Wark in the distance

A surprisingly dry walk in the peaks with the Hive lot this afternoon.

March through Sheffield city centre. In the foreground a hand made sign saying boycott, divestment, sanctions on a Palestine flag.

Sheffield says #FreePalestine

Pohl

Sleemo

TRVE YORKSHIRE KVLT ENSEMBLE

Ogives Big Band

Metal of various genres last night @stridentnights.bsky.social from Ogives Big Band, Pohl, Sleemo and TRVE YORKSHIRE KVLT ENSEMBLE. Quite surprised I actually enjoyed the live coded black metal 😂

Panic Shack on stage

Panic Shack at the Foundry. So much fun I may even have indulged in a bit of middle aged moshing.

Screenshot of the guardian live blog: Q: do you have a favourite author? Terry Pratchett, says Badenoch. She says she finds him very funny. Sheffield thinks she has all his books, except for the last one.

What?!

Indeed. And then complaining about not having enough resources while choosing (or being told by the home secretary) to spend their time arresting peaceful protestors.

Police to get new powers to crack down on repeated protests, says Home Office Move follows arrest of almost 500 people at latest pro-Palestinian demonstration in London on Saturday

They've already arrested thousands of people for holding signs, what more power could they possibly need? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I started playing again recently and have got proper addicted! Might have to wean myself off it so I can do something useful with my life 😂

All by train, with help from @seatsixtyone.bsky.social of course 🚄

The EHRC is trying to change the law, banning trans people from public, without even a government debate on it

Please write to your MP to make sure this doesn't happen

Glad to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social won so decisively! We really need an effective opposition to the increasingly racist and cruel Labour government.

Some hairy brown cows chilling in a field in the peak district

Got out on my bike for the first time in months. Made some cow friends on my biscuit break.

I miss the days when racists were no platformed instead of given constant coverage.

The two were entirely separate, I just had a busy day.

A trans pride flag blowing in the wind

A hand drawn sign: trans solidarity is strength

A metal band playing on stage

Sheffield trans pride yesterday, followed by metal bands in a very sweaty venue.

High court asylum hotels ruling leaves Cooper scrambling for alternatives Yvette Cooper joins a long line of home secretaries struggling to find substitutes for hotels as anti-migrant fervour grows

To repeat (blue in face):
House in community - as for normal people
Close mass accommodation sites and detention camps
Lift the ban on work after 6 months if claims not processed
Process claims
Stop with the lies about ‘pull factors’ and ‘deterrents’ 1/

Mick might be getting a bit bored of me asking him for opinions on my dissertation

Exclusive: Trans council staff told to use converted disabled loos Plus, a Rotherham hacker jailed and a ridiculously lavish £3m home for sale

Sheer cowardice from @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social, discriminating against trans people and reducing provision for disabled people because they're scared the eye of jkr is going to find them
