I actually closed the church service today with

Next time May the 4th will fall on a Sunday in 2031, so I’m glad I took seized the opportunity today 😅

This ruling breaks my heart. To define womanhood solely by biological sex is to turn away from the sacred truth that we are more than bodies — we are beloved, complex, and holy. It is a decision that wounds, excludes, and denies the dignity of so many.

Critics of trans rights win UK supreme court case over definition of woman
Judges rule that Equality Act definition excludes transgender women holding gender recognition certificates
Critics of equal rights for transgender women have won their supreme court challenge over the definition of a woman.
Five judges from the UK supreme court ruled that the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 does not include transgender women who hold gender recognition certificates (GRCs). Continue reading...

We do understand that today’s ruling will become a weapon in the hands of the usual suspects that will also affect cisgender women looking to access single sex spaces, if whoever tries to police it decides that they don’t appear feminine enough, right?

It wasn’t that long ago when I was visited by a history researcher from Leicester City Council, who was interested in the history of Gertrude von Petzold. And now the sign on Narborough Road is already up!
Did you notice the new Visit Leicester's "Changing Past" Heritage panel outside the old Unitarian church on Narborough Road, currently home to Elim Pentecostal Church?
You may even recognise the jug in the picture from our previous post 😇☺️

It boggles my mind how some creators reach their insanely huge audiences by lip syncing or reading memes. I don’t take my tiktok too seriously; usually it’s just me blabbing to camera about stuff, but oh boy! Reaching 30K regulars (mainly Polish-speakers) took some dedication… and occasional virals😅

Jeeez. I thought I’d check #Adolescence out since everyone’s been taking about it. I ended up binge watching the entire series all in one go😳

Sweet. So I now have a strike on tiktok for “violent extremism” for calling out actual religious extremists harassing women and staff with loud sirens and graphic banners at an abortion clinic in Poland.
And all I said were these famous words of Dave Barnhart paraphrased in Polish.

What came out of @torstenbell.bsky.social mouth was appalling, vile and incredibly self-centred.
“I couldn’t survive on £70 I have a mortgage”. Well, do me sideway 🙄Doesn’t he think the disabled people have bills?
Makes me increasingly content with myself for voting Green at the last election.

This is hysterical.
In an email to my organist I said that the service will be inspired by “the story of St. Cuthbert”, except I somehow misspelt it as “the gigue of St. Cuthbert”. How? Idk!
The poor bloke lost two days desperately trying to find “the gigue of St. Cuthbert” to play as interlude🤦🏻♂️🙈
