Before we start, I’ll make two things clear.
1. Black Lives Matter.
2. Trans men are men, trans women are women, and non-binary identities are valid.

Neither of these things are up for debate.
Re the last repost, these right-wing dorks are now going after *children* who speak more than just English. Imagine being such a horrible piece of shit that you try to make folk hate kids who have a command of more than one language. Fuck Reform, and fuck the flag shaggers who vote for them.

Feeling proud of the intelligent multi-lingual children in our city!

This tweet and the Farage video in it about "the cultural smashing of Glasgow" is getting rightly roasted by the good people of Glasgow on the other place...

That’s @yougov.co.uk asking the important questions today.

The only correct answer is of course Strongly Agree, and if you think otherwise, well, enjoy being wrong. You can just sit there in how terribly wrong you are.

One of the few truly unproblematic celebs that I’ve met. RIP Claude.
It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

Delighted to announce that even though the knitting of it has caused me actual physical harm, the #PaulKleeSweater that gave me tennis elbow does, in fact, fit. Just a sleeve and a half and some minor tweaks to go.

After my total lack of success in getting into any of the #SuperHalfs next year, other than Berlin which I’ve done 4 times and will be doing again in 2026, I wasn’t expecting much joy from the waitlists. I’m pure delighted to have been proved wrong and will running the Valencia Half next October!

Last year his estate donated the royalties for Last Christmas to his charity that offers funding for LGBTQIA+ orgs and they said they'd do it again this year. Listen to it loads!
Listening to Last Christmas because it is an all-time banger and George didn't die on Christmas Day for you to disrespect his memory by participating in Whamageddon

I’m just glad that my temporarily-scuppered elbow doesn’t affect the other thing that I’ve made my entire personality. It was proper lovely weather for a run this St Andrew’s Day (just about) morning. #RunningPunks

The current state of the jumper in question, for those of you wondering. It’s the #PaulKleeSweater by Midori Hirose. It’s a touch conical on the yoke, but that’ll be fixed once the sleeves and the rest of the body are done, I’ll either see how it blocks or rip back the neck ribbing.

Props to my GP for seeing me quickly, and for diagnosing me with lateral epicondylitis (aka tennis elbow) and not laughing when we worked out that it’s been brought on by my knitting excessively in an attempt to spend less time on my phone 🙃.

This jumper better bloody fit, is all I’m saying.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that the Zombies, Run! couch to 5k app was life-changing for me. I started running in with the app in November 2012 and haven’t looked back. This is great news, congratulations @naomialderman.bsky.social!
just incredibly thrilled to announce that after months and months of uncertainty over the future of the game, and several I have bought Zombies, Run!, the game I co-created and have been making for the past 12 years:

A slightly icy run round the park this morning, with signs of solidarity and a wee pal at the end. #RunningPunks

Labour are getting snaps from the Tories and Tommy fucking Robinson for this policy. As if it wasn’t already, I think it’s clear that Labour have lost the goddamn plot. Absolute monsters.
This is monstrous, evil. Anyone that supports this is similarly enthralled to and excited by the ritual abuse of the weak and suffering

I didn’t realise how much I needed to get out for a run until I was actually moving. Today was perfect, crisp and cold, with @coachbennett.bsky.social’s commentary on gratitude. I spent today’s 8km thinking of a friend, and how grateful I was to have known her. #RunningPunks

How in the fuck has this happened again? On the same street, just one block down?

I love that since I turned 40, my body has decided to give up on the basics like healing from minor injuries, and instead is focusing all its energies on producing one three inch-long hair on my right eyebrow that is so long that it actively interferes with my peripheral vision.

This weekend was full of joy and friendship, and at the same time utterly devastating. This planet has lost the kindest, brightest soul far too early. If there’s anything she taught me, it’s to please check your chests regularly folks, and tell people you love them. Make it weird.

Did some converting at the London Transport Museum today and nearly cried.
