It's time for #TransOnTrains at a Beer Festival (specifically the Swanage Railway diesel gala and beer festival) again. 👍😎👍. (Sixpenny Best, 3.8%)
Good riddance to 2025. Be proud to play your own song in 2026 and don't apologise for being yourself. 👍😎👍 Happy New Year folks!
Arrived in Derby for the #GreatestGathering via the happy medium of #TransOnTrains.
We bounced off the Basketmakers & ended up outside Fountainhead. No cash but they have the vibe. 🙃
Not that I'm feeling gothic, but... #Brighton #TransPrideBrighton
Skipping church this morning to prepare myself mentally for the #Bournemouth #TransRights protest (2pm today, in the Triangle). I've written some quick notes in case they need a speaker.
Given this week's events this seems appropriate to share this #EasterSunday. #Trans folks - remember you are not alone! Be safe. x Image from (buy their stickers!): www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Je... #TransLivesMatter #TransRightsNow #TransWomenAreWomen #TransMenAreMen #NonbinaryPeopleAreValid
Not knowing who Health Minister Karin Smyth MP is, I checked where she represents and (unbelievably) it is Bristol South (I'm sure @greenparty.org.uk are watching your seat Karin, so don't get too comfy). x.com/SaulStanifor...
It's #TransDayofVisibility, and I'm still not hiding. (though I may be hanging from something, so you might need to look up 🙃)
New distraction klaxon! Giving an electronic chessboard a test run. 😎 #chess #chessnut #chessnutgo (Yes, I won this game...but it was only against a bot, and not a particularly strong one at that) Games night, anyone? 🥳
'Twas the day after Moo-mas, and Maximoo had to learn how to put on a seatbelt for the trip from Redhill to their forever home with us in Bournemouth. Although they didn't quite get it right first time, it was a very good effort. (10/10 in the moo department!)
I was reminded again tonight that if my software development career ever ends I still have the potential to become an #aerialyoga instructor. 🙃 Training requires time and commitment of course...and for me the latter has been sorely lacking for years!
Today is a "my #aerialyoga class is full and the weather is shit anyway so I'm having a lie in" day. (Mind you teenage me would not class snoozing until ten past nine in the morning as a lie in! Adulting is weird).
I've just figured out how to post from Threads to Mastodon. The #Fediverse is coming. 😍
Yes, it's me. 🙏 #trans #aerialyoga Alts: mastodon.social/@annajayne www.threads.net/@caffeinedri... www.instagram.com/caffeinedriv...
