A must listen to interview with @bashback.bsky.social
EPISODE 166: BASH BACK: The Interview This week... - Turkey, has begun a crackdown on LGBTQ+ organisations and people - Update on the goings-on from the Welsh Gender Service - The Meat this week is, we spoke to BASH BACK + more whatthetrans.com/ep166/
If you watch the BBC you support transphobia. If you can't go cold turkey at least lessen your input π³οΈββ§οΈ
Bethany wore a βProtect The Dollsβ t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly
Nina Conti is always an interesting guest and this conversation with @robinince.bsky.social is no different. I wish she would go back to recording more of her own podcasts, as they were fascinating. Thanks also to Robin for informing me about The Last Viking, which sounds worth checking out.
New Liberation Conversation today - with Nina Conti www.patreon.com/RobinInce/po... #creativity #comedy #mentalhealth #performance
Look at yourself Britain. Just look at yourself. You should be a beacon of hope in a transphobic world but instead you are stamping down with the very worst of them. Good luck to all those forced to flee π³οΈββ§οΈ

If you used to listen to @robinince.bsky.social on The Infinite Monkey Cage then give his new podcast series a go. This episode with @chanda.blacksky.app was very interesting and enlightening. It also added a few more books to my To Be Read pile! tinyurl.com/374udvz8
"Did world war two ever really end? Or did the Third Reich turn American?" New AJJ album out today. Favourite track is Phlamethrower but here's the title track with the wonderful couplet above. shorturl.at/EY85k

Using @mostlyharmless.northsky.social idea It costs approx 89p a freepost delivery, reform just got Β£72m, so if we send 84,269,662 cards and they come in packs of 8 so 10.5m cards need to be bought which would put Β£47m in rnli coffers It's a win win
Another cracking Ologies podcast from @ologies.bsky.social with @pgirguis.bsky.social. No matter what the subject I always seem to become fully engrossed in it. Pick an episode at random and dive in...you won't be disappointed.
DEEP SEA MICROBIO is here. Creatures in inky trenches. Exploring the sea floor. Mud medicine. Tube worms. The legend, Dr. @pgirguis.bsky.social, explains it all. www.alieward.com/ologies/deep...
Sorry to be a bore but yes of course I've just ordered this even though I pretty much hate all live albums. store.manicstreetpreachers.com/products/the...
Rally around your Welsh trans friends, as this is devastating. π³οΈββ§οΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώπ
π¨π @wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com can reveal that the NHS has cancelled all gender-affirming surgeries for adult patients of the Welsh Gender Service Some trans patients received the news just days or even hours before they were due to take place π www.wearequeeraf.com/nhs-cancels-...
My heart goes out to anyone caught up in this. To have ANY type of surgery cancelled, especially at the last minute, is devastating. The UK's transphobic obsession continues. π³οΈββ§οΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώπ
Transphobic attacks on the Welsh Gender Service, supported by supposedly reputable media outlets like Nation Cymru, have now bourne fruit: Our sources in the trans community tell us that the Cardiff GIC has begun cancelling scheduled surgeries for trans patients.

It's alive! The Trans Unity Quilt is now online in its full digital archive - with enormous gratitude to every single person who contributed. This is a true vision of who the trans community are, the love and rage we share, the future we're fighting for. www.transunityquilt.com

"Rain down alienation Leave this country Leave this country Rain down alienation Leave this country Leave it" A constant tune in my head now the transphobes have free reign to ruin lives. Just as well itβs an awesome song to soundtrack the slow march to oblivion π³οΈββ§οΈ youtu.be/hQS1czT0Egg?...
When you sell your home, stare down the future and gorge on the fear, there needs to be a cool soundtrack to snap your fingers to. I might not know where I'm headed but it certainly won't be the past reprised. A one way ticket to futureville please. youtube.com/watch?v=U1u_...
As I discard the trappings of my life, given away to neighbours & charity, this song constantly plays in the empty discotheque of my head. I dont want any possessions bar the bare minimum. The clutter has obscured the view and it's oh so lovely. I'm just going outside for a bit tinyurl.com/mtp8atfb
Oh @robinince.bsky.social you darling, lovely man. Thank you for the radio show that lifted my heart like no other. Thank you for having more integrity, compassion and love than the bbc ever deserved. Fly away and soar on the freedom you now have to make anything you want. Trans people love you β€οΈ
"On a scale of one to Plath I'm like a four My head's not in the oven but I can't get off the floor" I'm fine. Just always loved this song by The Prettiots and the opening lines are great. Apologies that it's a Spotify link. open.spotify.com/track/5z1Wz6...
Just been reminded of this little gem from the band of my childhood. The power, the energy, the politics & anger (in other songs). I need to find bands today that are angry, political & energetically cool like them. youtu.be/J-WXzz9cZLc?...
There's only one refrain looping in my head while Israel kill anyone they like, Trump bombs Iran, protestors are branded terrorists, transphobia runs riot and Starmer supports it all the turgid fuck weasel. Fuck it oh yeah Fuck it oh yeah Fuck it oh yeah Fuck it oh yeah Fuck It - The Lovely Eggs
It doesn't have to be this way Britain. It doesn't have to be this way. Remember the time before? When you weren't being lied to? Before the fake culture war spreading fear about trans people? Yeah? Well trans people haven't changed. They are still just like you. Don't fall for the liars transphobia
If you're an adult working on the new HP then I can only think you are one of 3 things:- π‘ Transphobic π‘ Care more about money than minority oppression π‘ Are so deeply deluded/unaware that you should be ashamed To say your views arent as JKR's is no excuse. Funding Harry Potter is funding hate.
This isn't me The anger. The hate. The depression. The profanity. The numbness. The rage But it is what the supreme court & the transphobia has made me This is me The love. The laughter. The joy. The creativity. The living But you'd never know it I just want to exist. Like before. In peace π³οΈββ§οΈ
We are not an ideology or culture war. These are our lives you are destroying and making more dangerous and unliveable with your barbaric transphobia. This is why we are angry and fighting back for our very survival. That doesn't make us activists. It makes us human. #donotcomply #trans π³οΈββ§οΈ
Ezra Furman's new album Goodbye Small Head is a cracking little listen. It's a little different from most of her usual output but not unduly. Fav tracks are currently, Jump Out and I Need The Angel. Delve into her back catalogue, as it's well worth it. ezrafurman.bandcamp.com/album/goodby...
A jolly good read from the jolly good man @robinince.bsky.social Whether you are, aren't or a curious am I, it's well worth checking out. Also, Robin is incredibly trans supportive, so worth a follow for that alone.
