What was it again? Everything Trump touches turns to shit? That’s a stain that needs rubbing out.
@scottishtrans.bsky.social Hey, instead of saying “expect to wait 163 years,” maybe just go with, “will die before they are seen.” Who waits 163 years?
Says the person not actually doing any of the manifesto promises they were elected to do, and arguably making most of the issues worse.
My wife did this. I applaud. Or I would if I had two working hands.
i'm still not sure how i was able to take this photo of three people pulling on my broken limb and straightening the wrist. It was the second time they did that. the first i don't know what they gave me but it did nothing and I screamed and screamed and screamed. That was an awful ten days ago.
When you’re blue da ba dee and really quite happy. Our first Maidstone Trans Network meeting last night gathered about 25 of us, creating community where none had been. Everyone was amazing! So proud of our nascent group. 🥰
Found the Warburtons crumpet recipe. Afternoon teas have changed forever! And breakfasts. Heck, even dinner! www.recipetineats.com/crumpet-reci...
And now I get to wear this thing that goes all the way down to my stomach for the next day or so. Yay!
Maidstone Trans Network (www.maidstonetransnetwork.uk) is thrilled to have joined @consortium.lgbt, the largest network of LGBT+ groups and orgs in the UK. Also raising funds to secure a private meeting space for our members. If you have any spare coin, please visit donorbox.org/maidstone-tr.... 🙏🏳️⚧️💕
Two years ago today. The one where Rachel married Phoebe. 💕🏳️⚧️🇩🇰 I still cannot believe I get to be, to live, laugh, and love every day with my favourite person, best friend, and awesome partner, the truly wonderful, gorgeous, @transitionvamp.bsky.social. 💍
Homemade crumpets are stupidly good, too. So much better than anything from a shop. The most delicious flavour and texture. Also, if you’ve never put crispy garlic chilli on an egg, you’re missing out. Find it at your nearest Asian supermarket.
We’re launching a Trans+ support network in Maidstone for the local community and surrounding areas. If you’re in Kent, you might want to check us out. Lots of plans, and lots of responses so far. 🏳️⚧️💕🥳 Please repost if you can; you’ll help spread the word. 🙏
So excited that this thing is making its way back to me. It's now in the Uk! The world's first gas-powered espresso machine and my invention from, oh, about 2007 or so. Will be so happy to see it again! There are about 25,000 of them out in the wild, but I haven't had one in years.
Our C2C was defeated by the weather, so making the most of it being tourists.
Trans on train. Heading across England’s North to start a little cycling adventure from the Irish to North Sea, aka the coast to coast, or C2C. Crossing the Pennines should be quite lovely, if gruelling. We have no idea who fellow traveller is, so no need to ask. 😁
That article is jammed with the pearl-clutching “dangers of cross-sex hormones.” Meanwhile, over at The Sunday Times taking testosterone as a “biological woman” is fine—it’s not only good for your libido, but also your mental health and bone density, too! Yes, we know. archive.is/202603010028...
Learned of abandoned Punch the Monkey. Had maternal pangs over his love for plushie surrogate. Saw video of him beaten up/dragged around by bigger macaque. Horrified! Then sobbing, tears streaming in relief at another vid of him being cared for by a kinder primate. All in 3 mins. Phew! Emotional 🎢 !
He’s describing himself here. The lack of self-awareness is astonishing. And the UK gov’t is trusting all our data, medical and whatever else they scrape up, to this maniac’s company. Mind boggling. How in hell’s name did we get here?
Reminder of just some of the things possible when the government has your back instead of wishing you would f-off, stay quiet, and make more money for their donors as planned.
Random Photo Time! I don’t know who created this, but it popped up in my archive, so here it it. A beautiful way to show the metamorphosis of transition with gratitude for the past. 🫶
Random photo time! The Hammersmith Bridge that crosses the Thames. The TV studios where they filmed much of old Dr Who are right beside it. That was fun to visit. The reimagining of the Hitchiker’s Guide with participation that was in a performance space at the studios, well, not so much.
Another photo from tonight at the Winter Lights display. Lights, London, and lots of love.🥰 🫶🏳️⚧️
