If Sadiq Khan is a trans ally, why is he allowing JK Rowling’s Harry Potter to take over the Christmas lights in Oxford Circus? Email him now and ask him to pull the plug on transphobia. goodlaw.social/e1ae3f

Weren’t expecting quite so many people to be heading up Ham Hill in Somerset to watch the eclipse but actually it’s really nice to see. People can still get excited by the wonders of nature.

24 years since we had our fairy tale wedding. Still loving life with you honey.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

Don’t let the door bang you on the arse on the way out Nige. Or do, I don’t care.

Far right newspapers are trying to run a smear campaign against Misan Harriman. We can't let them. Add your name to the open letter, and stand against hate and division. goodlawproject.org/s/4ca10b

“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” - George Orwell, 1984 Last night at the #AmnestyMediaAwards 2026, Adrian Lester delivered this powerful excerpt from 1984. Two plus two make four, and peaceful protest is a human right.

Thanks to @llygodenfawrdur.bsky.social I now have some constituency level polling data. Obviously the reliability of this is somewhat questionable, but it is better than nothing: willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/tactical-v...

We have an *extremely* important announcement to make. From Wednesday, we will be launching our puffin live cam, coming to you from the Farne Islands. So you can watch puffins all day long. In celebration, please enjoy this clip of puffins being really busy for 39 seconds straight.

If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope. Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.

Really enjoyed Daughters of Nicnevin by Shona Kinsella. Jacobite uprising works really well as the backdrop to the story of witchcraft.

The Government is considering scrapping the NHS-Palantir deal. Do you want Palantir out of the NHS? RT if you do. #PalantirOUT

On 7 May 2026, voters will head to the polls to elect an expanded 96-member Senedd, using a voting system known as the D’Hondt method. The electoral map will change; the rules will change – and the choices we make as voters will matter more than ever.

Signed up for Race for Life again this year. I’m not one of nature’s runners but will huff and puff my way through it. If anyone would like to support my fundraiser it’s here fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/clovers...

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating five women advancing human rights. From tackling poverty to defending Palestinian rights, these women are fighting injustice locally and globally. 🧵1/7

Excellent win for the Greens in Manchester. I am still baffled by how many people support Ref*rm, a party that doesn’t even pretend to want to make things better for ordinary people, but it does feel like the tide is starting to turn.

Happy 50 the birthday my lovely.

Got to meet a lot of cool critters at Chester Zoo. Shout out to Trevor the Bullfrog and the naked mole rats!

Apparently it’s Welsh Language Music Day so here is a lovely song from the the album Dilyn Afon by Cynefin Take a look at this video, 'cynefin songs' share.google/DAAmw1zfOuuV...

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Had some fun times in 2025 despite all the nonsense in the world. Here’s hoping things are on the up for all you lovely folk in the New Year.

Merry Christmas / Nadolig Llawen. Now bring us some figgy pudding!

Safe travels to all heading back from Brighton World Fantasy Con today.

@wtpress.bsky.social are still open for submissions for their acclaimed Wiz Duos – 2 novellas different writers one volume. SFF but not horror, 18-380k I understand an upbeat or upbeatish spec novella with a romantic element might find a home... @hierath77.bsky.social #booksky #writing

Damn that dealers room is a dangerous place. So many pretty books!

Finally made it to Brighton. Hopefully we can get into the swing of WorldCon tomorrow when we have recovered a few spoons.

Been re-reading the Tiffany Aching books recently and realised I have unintentionally picked Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax as sketch subjects #Inktober.

Well it is a wet a windy Friday, so I hope you are all keeping cosy. #Inktober Day whatever.

I’ve seen a lot of fun suggestions about who might have carried out the Louvre heist. But who would be the best person to investigate this crime?

Happy Sunday everyone. #Inktober
