- Sexual violence is not a prop for your hot take or latest dunk.
- Is everyone else’s feed just flooded with screenshots of different Epstein emails?
- Is this a controversial opinion? I’m not interested in picking through the emails of Epstein on this social media platform or any other. Nor everyone’s hot takes to bait engagement.
- There should be a proper investigation by the right people and justice brought. I don’t think we need social media flooded with half redacted emails. Really? Especially when social media is flooded with misinformation.
- Is @support.bsky.team working on auto-subtitling videos for accessibility?
- In fact as AI managed to be successfully deployed for signing videos too?
- Am I in my heel turn?
- Catherine O’Hara speaking at John Candy’s funeral. Catherine O’Hara always radiates such warmth. I’m sure her soul is now right there beside John Candy and God and she hoped. Smushed into the back of a minivan on her way home.
- "God bless dear John, our patron saint of laughter. God bless and keep his soul. I will miss him. But I hope and pray to leave this world too someday and to have a place near God, as near as any other soul, with the exception of John Candy. Thank you, John."
- Good opportunities for Trans+ people who are interested in making change through politics. We do need more Trans+ people in politics across the parties, in the support teams and eventually as MPs.
- Support indie queer media to develop the investigative reporting that our community needs.
- I’ve been working late on an artwork for the Brixton exhibition in February. Here’s a sneak peek 👀
- Campaign Group Press for Change in 1997. Gender Recognition Act passed 2004. This is how we progress.
- Christine Burns wrote the ‘Pressing Matters’ volumes about this time as a toolkit for activists. She emailed them to me a couple of years ago and they helped inform my thinking for Trans+ Solidarity Alliance back when that was forming and then subsequently THW when I left to focus on that.
- There is wisdom in our past if we look for it. I’d encourage anyone who is interested in political lobbying to read Pressing Matters. We have underutilised tools we can use. We need more people picking them up and using. It’ll accelerate our change making.

- I’m shocked but I’m not. Not one mention of transgender people in the VAWG strategy.
