I openly had my misgivings about how a cis white man may handle this topic, but it's so unbelievably refreshing to see a politician, and a party leader at that, answer the question "can a woman have a penis?" with a simple "yes". No obfuscation, no trying to answer a different question, just "yes".

I love being so progressive I reinvent homophobia and sexism and whatever else

I love that she's so sure of herself she's blocked everyone who disagrees

One of my patients just got engaged in her 60s. I guess I am unromantic because I don't see the point if you're not raising kids together so I started asking questions and it turns out he's the one pushing for marriage. I said "well be careful about mixing your finances" and that led to...

...finding out her fiancé has a gambling problem and that she had no idea that even if they kept the money separate, if they ever got a divorce, she'd have to share her assets...! Anyway, she is now going to push for just being married in spirit.

Anyway, another woman saved!

We've all watched all of the institutions completely cave to the worst person alive I don't have any reason to believe the Nobel Prize committee won't either.

I saw the old Speaker on the tube - Bercow. He was totty!

On the topic of wee Dougie though...

A photograph of some politicians standing in between some giant letters. The Secretary of State for Scotland, Wee Dougie Alexander, is standing between a large G and an A. The letters S and H are also visible.

I can't imagine seeing 99% of UK politicians speaking about buses, never mind actually getting on one.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 5d

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

I don't want to get all Chesterton's Fence here, but if you don't understand that a "microscopic snail" is an indicator species that's protected for the health of the entire ecosystem, you probably shouldn't be forming "good relationships" with developers

Even if I could get an NHS referral, I would only need to wait 224 years to get seen at the clinic.

@johnswinney.bsky.social should resign. This is a disgrace.
