Hello! I’m taking on the challenge of running 5k every day of October to raise funds and awareness for the vital work that @prostatecanceruk.bsky.social do. If you are able to donate or share, I shall be very grateful! Thank you 💙 prostateunited.prostatecanceruk.org/fundraising/...

If you thought the Conversion Practices Bill is already bad thanks to all the loopholes and allowances it provides, then don’t worry - it’s about to get worse. The Government are hearing “evidence” from anti-trans campaigners Helen Joyce, Dennis Kavanagh and the LGB Alliance this week.

Had political journos done their jobs, this rampant racism from a conspiratorial transphobe wouldn’t be news to them and could’ve maybe prevented this washed up bigot from being part of the legislature.

I'm so sick of this “worthy of respect” legal fiction because on a literal level it just... isn’t. An all-consuming and cruel hobby that has you obsessing over the genitals of cartoon aliens and transvestigating complete strangers. It’s worthy of ridicule, shame, and total marginalisation.

We won’t take your claims of discrimination, harassment or assault seriously but we said the “thing” so really, I don’t know what you’re all complaining about.

Haven’t seen it, have no intention of seeing it but I find it weird that so many people seem to ignore the fact that Cruise’s entire career exists for the benefit of Scientology

7 days into this challenge. 35km of 115km done. Please share and/or donate to help bring a stop to prostate cancer destroying so many lives. Thank you 💙

This starts on Thursday. Any donations or shares will be very much appreciated! Thank you 💙

So we’re looking at mid 2030s at the earliest for something that has been promised to various degrees by different governments for the best part of a decade?

Full explanation of "Tommo" slashing a boat

Piddington Parish Council chair Tim McNally previously thanked Elon Musk, a vocal backer of Tommy Robinson, for supporting his campaign against the asylum centre. McNally wrote on his PiddingtonRoars X account: “Elon Musk just gave a tiny Oxfordshire village a global megaphone. Thank you @elonmusk.”

‘Danny Tommo’, leader of the balaclava-clad blackshirt rallies, says he will travel to Piddington “in the coming days” following the Parish Council’s stunt referendum: “I want to hear about safety concerns for their women and children.” Tommo was jailed for two years in 2016 for a knifepoint kidnap.

The councillor who chairs Piddington Parish Council, near Bicester, says that yesterday’s stunt referendum – in which the village voted to leave the UK in protest against an asylum centre – was “an example of democracy in operation”. Tim McNally himself gained his role without a contested election.

I think the worst part of Labour's response to the fascist mobilisation is Andy Burnham's absence. He's the most popular politician in the country, with social media reach and actual powers of persuasion, and he's saying nothing in public. He can actually be of use here but he's choosing not to

Really wish the US bomber circling Oxfordshire right now would fuck off

There’s something so inhumanly cynical about piggybacking on the mourning of the death of a beloved advocate for children’s literacy by donating the first entry in your own series of books to drive up sales of the other books, market a tv show, and make people forget you sued Amnesty International

And I'll say it now: more kids have grown up as readers thanks to Dolly than any amount of Harry fucking Potter.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

My nieces and nephew are recipients of this. They love reading in large part because of her. If we could all be a little more Dolly, the world would be a far better place. We’ve lost a true great today.

If “academic freedom” existed in a vacuum, yeah, sure but history is replete with atrocities that have stemmed from awful people using awful people’s work as justification. So yeah, defend all academic freedom but don’t act upset when tyrants act on it.

“It’s impossible that Jason Arday could have got his post without DEI,” say people about an industry which can find 200 academics willing to sign a letter in support of David Miller and another 200 academics willing to support Nathan Cofnas.

With help from her own Government. Piss off.

Periodic reminder that Kathleen Stock unapologetically crowdfunded for neo-Nazi bullies in their calamitous libel case against me.

Generally agree but frankly, if you still “ascribe meaning to” HP related stuff without it being tarnished by Rowling’s radicalisation and bigotry, I will ridicule you.

My hot take is that retirees who decide to live abroad shouldn’t be eligible for state pension. Workplace pensions/retirement savings, sure but state pension? No, absolutely not.

A cunt may be nice to you personally but is still a cunt, especially when said cunt had a national platform to spout stuff that would get the average person put on a register and/or a watchlist.

This artery into Oxford has been closed since 2023, btw. Genuinely feel for the residents and businesses in the area that this has heavily impacted.

love them or loathe them, there's one thing you can't deny about the Argentinian football team: they're a bunch of cunts

Genuinely, why do we excuse football fans for supporting something (league or higher) that we all know is corrupt and ethically questionable but we call out others for doing the same when it comes to the sports and events they’re fans of?

I get this, and agree with the first two sentences. The third and final one, however, is just naive. In every international sporting event, there is at least a degree of political reasoning for which nation other countries support. You can want it to not be true, we should, but this isn’t new.

America tells itself it’s a nation of hard work. It isn’t. It’s just a nation of people whose singular purpose is to complain until they get what they want. “I want to speak to your manager” - the American Dream™️

This announcement from Starmer; all waffle, hardly any substance, and so far, absolutely nothing to say about SM companies.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.
