- Some good news! Like so many, I can trace pro-social values to Gordon, Luis, Susan, Maria, Gina and Bob (and sarcasm to Oscar of course)! A world without #SesameStreet would be a poorer place. apnews.com/article/sesa...
- Eurovision has always been a political project - for European unity; integration of East & West; positive LGBTQI+ visibility; censuring of Russia. Platforming the Netanyahu regime & banning performers' displays of solidarity with Palestine: also political. I will not be watching. @rte.ie #eurovision

- Can anyone tell me if there has been/is likely to be any response to, not just this event, but the legislation cited, in terms of language-based discrimination? Either from the Irish State or from the EU? #spéirgorm #Gaeilge #minoritylanguages www.thejournal.ie/irish-pro-pa...

We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
- After all the millions spent on investigations, reviews, reports and recommendations to address racism, homophobia and misogyny in the Met? Plus ça change... How depressing for residents, for officers from affected minority communities and for allies in the service. @london.gov.uk

They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

- I would like to apologise to #spéirgorm for the drop in temperatures today and for the weekend. I purchased summer clothing yesterday. In this isolated case, I am convinced that correlation does equal causation.

- I have one of these handsome chaps in my garden. He is so vocal in advertising his availability that I can hear him from inside the house. He also sounds like a car alarm going off all day. Please direct any available mates his way before I resort to ear defenders. (1/2) #spéirgorm #birdsofbluesky

🚨 The British Medical Association has today Condemned what it called the Supreme Court’s “scientifically illiterate, biologically nonsensical ruling” They will continue to affirm the rights of trans and non-binary individuals to live their lives with dignity, having their identity respected. - Reposted by Amanda Haynes[Not loaded yet]

- Must-read piece by @tupped.bsky.social on recent CJEU ruling that national laws impeding access to rights under the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights or other EU provisions, due to incorrectly recording sex assigned at birth rather than lived gender identity, must be disregarded. #TransWomenAreWomen
- The UK Supreme Court ruling redefining the category of women to exclude trans and non-binary people, is a travesty. It erases lived realities and undermines decades of progress toward equality. I support calls for an appeal (1/2). 🏳️⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransWomenAreWomen
