With the increasing hostility towards trans people, now is not the time to be a silent majority. Please let your trans neighbours know they are safe with you.

I messaged you on Twitter by the way, in case the features were snatched away before you got a chance. It's possible to get them back without needing to put ID in!

A great clip, and a beautiful demonstration that you *can* fight fire with water, hatred with love, bigotry with community.

King of the castle. The pigeon proudly sitting on top of the bird feeder, surveying his kingdom (apologies if it is a queen surveying her queendom). #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

After two months of scraping, scorching and sanding, the garden furniture is finally painted. Just in time for the rain. I still had a G&T under the parasol to celebrate.

Mr Biscuit totally enthralled by a tiny bit of ham.

A hairy old Scottish terrier with a magnificent beard, staring intently at a piece of ham being dangled just out of shot.

Gorgeous day on #Lindisfarne yesterday. So atmospheric with lots of sea mist swirling about 💙 Such a special place. #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #threadofgold

View of the pilgrim path to Lindisfarne, looking up to the castle with lots of sea mist, flowers growing on the rock face, boat shed with coiled plaited rope in the foreground.

#SmallBeautiesHour Crisp, tart apple slices sprinkled with salt; remembering how brilliant Tim Buckley was, & not waiting for #WeaselWednesday to do some secret dancing; gorging at my favourite blackberry patch; enjoying the non-native montbrecia growing deep in the woods. All the #SmallBeauties.

Dense clusters of green blackberries with a few pink and purple ones.

Fiery orange lily-like crocosmia or montbrecia flowering amid bracken ferns and other undergrowth in a wood.

Evening BlueSky peeps. Okra in bloom, the Nao Victoria Spanish sailing ship moored in the Tyne and a very nonchalant gull out for a stroll. #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #threadofgold #rubbishbirdpics

Pale yellow Okra flower against very vibrant green leaves, a replica Spanish sailing ship moored in the River Tyne with a backdrop of the Tyne Bridge, a herring gull strolling along the pavement.
