MD @Nexerdigital.bsky.social. Interests veer wildly from pop culture and TV/film nostalgia, to LGBTQ+, Eurovision and digital inclusion. Cumbrian. LWithTheT

Don’t ban people from football, from wards, from park runs or from spaces. Find a way to include. Fund the research to understand levels of activity and need, then redesign things to accommodate. What we are doing to trans people is horrendous #LwithTheT

My mother-in-law has placed those in every corner of our house because she read they deter spiders. They don’t deter whippets, sadly

This is what the Nobel Committee ACTUALLY said.

Sorry Donald. Most of the world can see you for what you are.

When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist.
Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended - with words, with courage and with determination.

Catching up on #CelebrityTraitors with my 12 year old. She thinks Stephen Fry is David Attenborough, says Niko is “quite fit” and doesn’t understand why I love Celia Imrie

I look at ways to make it less American and relentless, through muting, and decided I’d just not click on Discover for a bit

RIP JILLY COOPER! A queen who wrote THE most readable books in existence. People saw my thread of epic Jilly quotes and decided I was saying the books are shite. You COULDN'T be more wrong. Go and watch Rivals today.

Sooz Kempner @soozuk.bsky.social · Oct 18

🧵Some real Jilly Cooper quotes from her Rutshire Chronicles, the series of books that Rivals is from.

1) "Her breasts swayed like party balloons when the front door opens"

That puts the chalky roundabout efforts here to shame

It’s UK only for now I understand.

I’ve said that about so many “thought leaders”. I’ve often thought what would the Queen Mum do as well.

hilaryonline.bsky.social @hilaryonline.bsky.social · 6d

Well we get to celebrate their differences I guess. Nothing discovered on that front. It’s just nice to see them both navigating more grown up things.

Yes, though all shares welcome. Some men have signed of course

30 more women to tip this over 55k today? The calm, compassionate, inclusive feminists, who might not have seen the amazing support received for the trans community and the rejection of hate so far? Go on…

Not In Our Name (NION) Women @nionwomen.bsky.social · 8d

We expect to hit 55k signatures in support of our open letter this week, perhaps even today. Thank you to everyone who has signed or shared. Let’s keep this going:

Tbf, I thought the police officer gave a vocal eye-roll when she said they certainly weren’t getting an escort. Such a waste of energy, and the wrong policy to allow it.

All kinds of stuff in the mix I know, but it’s quite amusing to watch. 12 year old will return from Stockport today with all manner of Halloween tat, while Scrooge McDuck ogles her balance
