Pithy commentary best left here, I expect.

- I also hope it makes organisations who have already capitulated rethink. What do you reckon, @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social? Any chance?

- Reposted by DaveybotRe-upping this article in the Guardian Oz, about my research into the extreme harm being caused by Wes Streeting's puberty-blocker ban. UK mainstream media has collectively ignored my research (as I expected) but not the Guardian Australia. Needless the UK and US Guardian's didn't share it.

- I grew up next to a pub at which Aunt Sally was played. I will forever associate warm summer evenings with the sound of people playing it over the wall, and I miss it dearly.

- I know I don't have much of a footprint here - or anywhere - but I encourage you all, dear followers, to watch the film The Long Goodbye, a short made by Riz Ahmed and Aneil Karia over five years ago. It’s a hard watch, but I think not enough people saw it. youtu.be/Lzz50xENH4g?...

- Probably good advice for many, including if you're in the UK. Note for Brits: For some reason I didn't know about the CTA until recently: www.gov.uk/government/p... but that means Ireland (Sorry, Jesse!) is likely going to feature in a lot of our plans.
- It’s five years now we’ve been eschewing fireworks in favour of sunrises. Happy new year, folks.

It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all.

- By "people who have come from cultures that don't respect women" I assume she's talking about the British aristocracy, right? Right? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Cor, there's not much to lift spirits in here. But it's rather delicious to read, and I suspect she's basically damn right.

- Reposted by DaveybotI think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

- Reposted by DaveybotVery sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

- How do you feel about the bathroom segregation in your schools right now, @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social?

- Instead of 'pose risk to', this needs to read 'are harming'. I wish they'd stop pretending it isn't already happening.

- @libbybrooks.bsky.social Libby, the rules don't just 'pose a risk' of harm. There's no 'could' about it. They ARE harming people, right now. Talk to some trans kids in Edinburgh, for instance, who've had their school bathrooms segregated since August. Please. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
