One-trick pony Jenny means organisations. But the Scotsman's choice of "bodies" is more accurate because it is the GCs and all women who will be impacted by making all rights determined/set only by columnists.
Hey everybody, new Scottish employment tribunal case just dropped to give the papers a way to keep attacking trans people and claim GCs are the biggest victims since...well, ever?
My proposed Minister for AI (Also, from this scene, the only acceptable bathroom police)
Maybe sometimes people just don't appreciate how pitch perfect pitch bot is...
One of your soon-to-be departments, Mr Incoming PM, just quit this platform because it is promoting the far right and disinformation. So you... endorse it? You know we can see this, right?
The Times, first with the news, has discovered a report from May, though they leave out how it showed the Times itself is leading in its war on trans people.
Since you can't read some US news over here, and to skip sharing the reporterless Pink News version. . . Footloose has a new version I guess. archive.ph/re05W
I don't watch football but did dip into the live blog and saw this arrogant tempting of fate. The BBC did the same with Scotland ahead of their last loss. "Has Gordon just put one England foot in the final?" Lol
And that sort of (men's team only) hyperbole is why don't cheer football, or cheer the opposition. ;)
Was not aware there was a move in NZ to redefine men and women by the vague "biology". This response 👇, however, is extremely good, detailed and useful as I think the UK should expect this will be the next Labour move. I appreciate anyone anywhere clearly explaining how trans-exclusion impacts all.
Recently wrote a basic summary of an expanded Pride in Helensburgh. Many comments were supportive, and some were not, of course. I note, in particular, one objector's profile picture... These things are always found together.
For my recent birthday this year, tried making a hat for the first time. It's a bit too big sadly and I need to work on my finishing skills (I have none) but it's a start.
The defenders of women and girls crowd at it again. The headline/sub play down that it was men. Male councillors back rapist.
Scotland is not a serious country if this is one of the top stories they can make up.
Grift 2. "Charity", KC and former author all working to take taxpayers' cash. Now, some of these prisoners will be killers. Is JKR going to pay millions to a killer so she can defeat "woke"? Definitely.
Grift 1. Susan 'One-Topic' Dalgety has chosen not to notice how bigoted Labour already is to trans people. You won Susan, stop pretending.
This is not surprising. A local council's first report on the risks of covid during the pandemic put the first risk as "reputational damage". How many British governments at any level or other orgs prioritise reputation over anything else, even life?
It wasn't the Labour Party that stopped him doing anything, it was fear of the Daily Mail that informed all decisions (and their u-turns)
Shout out to the tie-dye place I found in Glasgow's west end with display of several middle fingers to those in power who aspire for Scotland to again be a leading homophobic and transphobic country.
The Daily Mail, ever the defender of women™, uses its favourite playbook of depicting a manipulative wife ruining a successful man (or nepo baby - whatever).
Changing the pic of your face on the front page can't mask this one-subject grift, Jenny.
The world is burning but I've had the privilege to perform back here in the past year. Hugely grateful to be back with the @rsnochorus.bsky.social this season.
Slow clap for the UK everybody. This is EXACTLY what my profession and most political parties are happy with.
Still a work in progress but I'm gradually creating a weekend brunch crumble. This one is rhubarb and stem ginger with a crumble with oats, coconut, cardamon and crunchy peanut butter. Taste almost there but proportions still not right.
I'm surprised you can recognised courage when you're afraid to leave Twitter. 👀
Well I have never earned that much. In 24 years of working in the UK I have never hit and will never hit £30k. Can't imagine what life on that much looks like.
