Who could possibly have imagined this?

You should always stand up to bigotry and extremism but there comes a point when you absolutely must.

Just bought Slant by the brilliant Prof. Katherine O’Donnell and I CANNOT wait for it to arrive to read it.

“A ground-breaking Irish lesbian love story, set across the decades from the 1980s AIDS crisis to the 2015 marriage referendum.”

Strange to see white, cishet (& often excessively wealthy) peeps claiming to speak on behalf of the LGBTQIA+ community while completely ignoring our actual voices.

It is infantilisation & colonial to do this.

You are simply trying to re-define who we are in your terms, not ours

The richest Prime Minister in history – worth an estimated £529,000,000 – is demonising sick and disabled people.

He wants us to blame our problems on anyone but the real culprits:

The Tory government, their super-rich donors, and a system that puts greed before human need.

A big shoutout to Jeremy Corbyn for:

Being inclusive.

Listening to trans people & experts rather than trying to define them.

Amplifying the voices of the vast majority of #LGBTQIA + community.

Standing up to support us despite the unhinged, bigoted replies & retweets.

I have made these a lot over the years - and I mean a lot. When you make them, you will understand why.

There is no such thing as “a sick note culture.” There is a record high NHS waiting list, crippling housing costs, widespread food poverty, stagnant wages and inadequate benefit rates, a broken social care system, dire mental health services, and closed Sure Start centres.

“We will now look at options to strengthen our regime.” Sunak

OED def of regime: “Chiefly with negative connotation. A particular ruling group, government, or administration, esp. an authoritarian one.”

Also, taking about fraudsters while his wife claimed “non-dom” status 🙄

The #CassReport is not in line with WHO standards & has recommendations that the journal Paediatrics calls ‘medical neglect & emotional abuse’

- delighted to work with Dr Chris Noone (He/Him) on this look at the #CassReview & why it puts our kids in danger

Happy Taylor Swift Day to alll who celebrate!

May you all have an amazing day listening to her new music.

(Part of me really wanted a song on here dedicated to Nigella Lawson ‘s Mughlai Chicken 😊 )

So, just to confirm, Hilary Cass from the Cass Review was actively and knowingly engaged with anti-trans healthcare lobbying. This is extremely unethical and unprofessional given her position. We need a full investigation

And in today’s things that did not happen:

The homophobic ones turn out to be gay.

The ones screaming “groomers” turn out to be pedophiles.

The ones claiming election fraud committed election fraud.

See how this works? When someone is hurling hate, invective and lies, it’s a short hop from accusation to confession.

A huge shoutout to David Tennant on his birthday. Thank you for:

Being inclusive.

Understanding that just because someone is different, they are not automatically a threat.

Your ability to listen to the LGBTQIA+ community rather than declaring that you speak on our behalf.

Crêpes-Cannelloni (with Nigella’s homemade crêpes).

Another gorgeous recipe!
